NSW Rowing picks and polemics stir Interstate Eight clash
At the NSW Association meeting heated debate swirled around selecting this year’s Interstate Eight. Resignations of Messid Middleton and Amess over Mosman crew representation sparked sharp criticism of sportsmanship and calls for the association to nominate the strongest possible crew. The fate of the Olympic scull also loomed with Bull and Baynes as top contenders and Robinson urged not to be overlooked. The council moved to test races and a Melbourne meeting to set final selections while funds and Paris plans dominated talks.
