Walter Hoo-verj-tfre-Durathr-scuiling marvel, whose phenoni-inal rise to tne pinnacle of boatsmanship has attracted interna tional attention, achieved his coveted position by virtue of a particular style of rowing wich aspirants to his title may have considerable difficulty in mastering. " Boating experts are agreed that the marvelous speed of the new world's champion as displayed in the English Henley regatta, is due to his peculiar stroke a short, swift movement, which, in actual test jluring the Thames competition "produced as high as fifty-eight complete strokes a minute. Nothing in the annals of aquatic sport reveal that any other follower of the sculls was capable of, such execution, and admittedly, there were none at the English water sweep stakes who were even closely match ed with the Duluth lad in point of technique. ; : Hoover's masterly style is self-ori- ginated, according to those who have watched him through his long and ar itious training" since he left his em ployment as an engineer, in the old home town to seek the sculling cham oionship of the world; and even the title holder himself, is not wholly able to deline or explain the creation of his stroke. . - During his first six years connec tion with the Duluth Boat Club, Hoo ver was uncertain as' to his particular ability with the oars and he was doubt ful in what division his efforts would eventually place him, but during that time he followed closely his own set of rules for physical training. Hoover did his first rowing in 1913 and in the nine years interim before won the world's title, he guarded ms - physical 'seli: .reha-ioiislv. -r)iii;n this time he was a woodsman, factory worker, soldier on the Mexican border, student and an engineer. When he fin ally decided upon a . sculling , career in 1921, he had every physical advan tage and this, according to experts, enabled him to develop his style to perfection and triumph over the best scullers in the world. Revving his first race at the age of seventeen, Hcover was a member of a lJulutn Boat dub junior eight "crew in 1913. He. took up sculling the fol lowing year, winning his first honors at the Northwestern-Internatichal regatta at Kenora, Ont., -by taking nist place m the junior and senior singles events. Heaver entered the senior singles event at the national legatta at Philadelphia in August of :hat year, but was defeated by several , eas-tgf h -scullers. :' r: . . He then returned to. the eight-oar-ed crews the following year and rowed with the Duluth Boat club senior eight, which won the national champ ionship. . The new champion was soldiering in the Mexican border in 1916. He resumed rowing in 1917 and during that year and th following season competed with the Duluth eight-oared crews." .-. .- - , It was by a trick of fate almost that- Hoover returned to sculling in 1919 when, while working at a paper mill at Internaticvial" Falls on the Canadian border, he decided to send tor a sheik and -pass his idle hours nuising-about the picturesque Rainy river! country. - Returning to Duluth-in the spring of 1921 . Hoover took up sculling in earnest' and'' adopted' a style c'f his own. Critics -at first-advised against training in Such peculiar fashion, but the coming champion was persistent and ..was. seen clocking off the mile and ."a " quarter "course' oh St. Louis bay-in remarkable fast time.- - .-The -champion's-" first step toward .fame., was, on. -July. .4, 1921 when he swept "the People's regatta at Phila delphia arid earned the light to enter the national-championship race at I-Bafaksea-: month -later. Here he cap- ctji,red...th.e national title, by . winning three straight races, "defeating the pick of North America scullers, fin ishing -first in the -quarter-mile- dash, the national- -championship single and theaassaciation .singles- Hoover accomplished . something which only two other scullers have in the history of the jsport. CapfurTng the national ' title was tW" incentive-to'-other honors for the titlehclder and he trained - faithfully alL during:, the winter. ... His victories in the preliminaries and finals of the Gold Challenge Cup race at Philadelphia early in June stamped him as - the premier sculler of North America and sent him to England, -where, he. won the world's title. : . . ' - As a reward for his fame, -Duluth admirers have presented .him 'with a completely furnished 'home, which wpl gc shared" by his wife and mother, both o'f whom taught school to sup port themselves while Hoover con ditioned himself for his record smash ing career. Hoover . is ; just - twenty sexen years i .. old. .. . . . . FRANK vSHUFORD LOSES CHILD '"'"Friends' ;. of Frank" Shuf 6i d;' colored, will sympathize with him in the death of one of his children.
