A Great Oarsman.

Forty-seven years ago Tom Sullivan, New Zealand oarsman, made a valiant effort to wrest the world sculling title from Jack Stanbury on the Parramatta River, Australia. Later he won the English sculling championship and then went to Germany as rowing coach to a leading German rowing club. During the war of 1914–1918, Sullivan was interned, but he resumed his old job when hostilities ceased. Once again Sullivan has page break been caught by the tide of war, but reports indicate that he has not suffered internment on this occasion. Sullivan must now be over the 70-year mark but he remains as the outstanding rowing coach in Germany. Incidentally, with Billy Webb, Dick Arnst, Darcy Hadfield and Paddy Hannan, New Zealand has supplied some of the world's greatest scullers.
