tn" Boston lapers are telling some un-
pleasant things about the Harvard crew
that got beaten by the Columbian boys
un saturday. The Cambridge boys are
charged with having been too lazy To do
amy prarticing. They were patted on
the backs by their friends and called
wants and assured they were going ,o
win What is worse they swallowed the
ilatttry and got left. This may or may
not b. true, but it is not always
far H. abuse a crew because it has lost a
race. The difference in time between
I'll" toumhia and Harvard was only one
second more than the difference be-
tween the Columbia and University
ol Pehns vlyana crews, and the last
named certainly had not the fault of
lazlne'', though lacking in experience
OF long races. 1t was probably their ex
cpssive zeal that used up the University
boys before their trial with Yale. Even
the strong crew Of Columbia did not I'm
dertake two -four mile races on successive
days. Philadelphia Times
