NEW YORK, June 21.—-The retire
ment of Charles E. Caurtney, for many
years crew coach at Cornell Univers
ity. marks an epoch in American In-1
tereollegiate rowing and the first
break in the trio of coaches who have
made Cornell victorious in recent
years on water, track and gridiron. No
coach ever achieved greater fame ia
his chosen line of athletic instruction
or developed winning combinations
with greater frequency and consist
ency than Courtney. While he will
still be available in an advisory ca
pacity and has a worthy successor in
John Hoyle, should the Cornell author
ities decide to continue the latter in
his present capacity, the dean of all
crew mentors has hung up his coach
ing megaphone for the last time.
Courtney’s retirement was not only
unexpected for the “Old Man,’’ as he
'•has been affectonately termed at Ithica
for some years. has been in poor

occurred while he was en route to
Poughkeepsie with the Cornell crews
and was caused by Courtney being
thrown violently against a berth fol
lowing a lurch of the fast traveling
train. The Cornell coach has been un
der the care of physicians ever since
and while his condition has improved
to some extent the word has gone forth
that he must give up further coaching
and spend the rest of his life quietly.
Born in 1848, Courtney is in his six
ty-eighth year and after his many
seasons of competition as an amateur
and professional oarsman and his later
reign as coach at Cornell, his friends
and medical advisors feel that he has
richly earner the quiet and retirement
which he requires. Thanks to the
generosity of the Cornell alumni and
undergraduates, Courtney is removed
from any financial worries or cares.
He owns outright a handsome home
and grounds at Ithaca, overlooking
Cayuga Lake, the gift of Cornell men,
in addition to a comfortable compet
ency. There he will be found in future
ready to advise and assist from his
great store of rowing knowledge and
experience, thoce who w<ll take up
the burden he has laid down.
Cornell rowing authorities are u:
the preesnt time uncertain as to the
exact coaching system and methods
that will be adopted for the crews of
coming years but whatever the system
of the coaches, it will be hard for
Courtney’s successor to improve or
even duplicate his record. The career
of Courtney as a coach and Cornell as
premier rowing university of America
are so interwoven that it is difficult to
consider one without the other or to
apportion credit.
Since the formation of the Inter
collegiate Rowing Association in 1895,
Cornell has competed in ev’ery one of
the twenty-one four-mile champion
ship races, winning thirteen, finishing
second four times and third four
times. In the twenty years of fresh
man races Cornell has won twelve
firsts; five seconds; two thirds and
one fifth. During the fifteen years of
’varsity fours racing the Ithaca com
»
bination won ten firsts; three seconds;
one third and one fourth. Since the
introduction of the junior eights race
in 1914 the Cornell second crews have
i captured both events.
In addition to this remarkable list
|of victories. Courtney-coached crews
i held all records forth efour races on
the Hudson course as well as an im
mense number of wins in dual and tri
angular regattas with crews which do
not compete at Poughkeepsie, includ
ing Harvard, Yale, Princeton and oth
<er colleges.
Courtney has hl ways been a wond
erful judge of rowing material even
ir. the rough and although strict and
severe at all times, would spend hours
with embryo oarsmen who showed
promise and a desire to learn the art
of sweep swinging. He would never
brook interference from any quarter
during the rowing season and never
forgave those candidates who broke
training. Time and again Courtney
has thrown a man or a whole crew
out of the shell because they violated
I his rules and they never came back.
;In rowing he was an autocrat and
'martinet but he produced results; had
i *
support of the faculty, alumni and
'student body at Cornell and it will be
hard to replace the “Old Man’’ in the
affections of those connected with the
Ithica university or in his role as a
■ coaching wizard.
