His was the kind of love that understood; that could look into a person to discern the real and often hidden worth. How many of us are what we are today in large part because he believed in us. His was a love that deeply cared; that gave unstintingly and without discrimination. Who you were did not matter to him; what you were did. It was his interest to help us to be true men, hard workers, good sportsmen, fighters for an ideal, but above all to be men.

COACH JOHN SCHULTZ
“As far as particular pupils go, Johnny didn’t have much to say. ‘Of course Win Rutherfurd ’28 is one of my best; he’s national champion so he has to be,’ he told us. ‘But shucks, I’ve had kids three and a half years old and old men to teach. I’m not interested in building individual champions; what I want to do is to get eight individual champions into one boat and then make them into one man and have a real championship boat.’
But we could see that he had one pupil of whom he was pretty fond. One time, in New York, he had a girl’s crew to coach. ‘Seven of the eight were sisters,’ he informed us. ‘Very interesting,’ we replied, not quite knowing what he was driving at. ‘Yeah, and I married the stroke,’ said John.
He has some mighty sound theories of rowing. ‘The basis of rowing is the sculling,’ is his motto. ‘If I can get together a group of real scullers,’ he said, ‘I’ll give the coaches a real crew. I’ve never seen a good oarsman yet who couldn’t handle a single, and it has been my aim in Princeton to build up each man who comes down to the boat house in a single, then when I turn him over to the eights, he knows what it is all about. You see, I’m not trying to make individual champions,’ he reiterated, ‘I’m working for Princeton, and I know that what does the most good for the greatest number will do the
most good for Princeton.’ ”

1936_HM_Schultz_Centipede
“The Centipede” was created by John Schultz, the boathouse rigger in the early 1930s. This boat was a brilliant way to create interest in sculls.
Schultz passed on his sculling experiences 8 boys at a time. Because he was confined to the dock, without the normal coach’s boat, he bellowed from a huge mega- phone as the boat moved from the dock to the bridge.
I rowed at bow on several occasions.”
