COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
There are so many rowing men to choose
| from I'm the Columbia Athletic Club that
! Capt. Baker finds it difficult to settle
/ upon the makeup OF his various crews.
1t is very encouraging to see the large num-
| Der of men who daily take practice in the
shells from this house.
The lightweight four, which has been
doing hard work and is getting into shape,
is composed of Magee, stroke; Seton, 8;
| Parsons, 2, and Elder, bow. Just as 1t
is about settling down change is neces-
| STATED on account of Seton, who starts
| for California tomorrow on O business
| trip. Either Midge Ross or Lunsford will
! fiji the seat.
The senior four is taking regular prac-
1 tice, but SO many changes have been made
In the crew that the men have not gotten
| down to good form, but will NO doubt
during the week get into shape. Upon
the return Of Boyle from Colonial Beach
! he Will be given q seat in the senior
four, which will then row Eaton, stroke;
Mann, 8; Boyle, 2, and Blunt, bow Junior

templated In this crew.

ment this season Walsh 10 rowing In
better form
Wells and Coburn are In good shape
and holding their side up in every crew
they are placed In.
Moar does not take much practice In
his single 1t was hoped he would repre-
sent the club in singles in the regatta, where
he would have good show to win.

training for the A. A. u. championship of
the Atlantic division, to be held IN Baltimore
in September, the former IN the shot and
