COLUMBIA NOT SURE TO ROW.
j. I. FEARING HINTS THAT FINANCIAL
DIFFICULTIES MAY STOP HER CREW
FROM GOING T,

J. l. Fearing, the manager Of the Columbia UNI
versity rowing crew. yesterday gave out an inter-
view concerning rowing at the university. from
which It seems that the appearance OF crew to
represent the blue and white at Poughkeepsie this
year against Harvard. Cornell and the University
Of Pennsylvania has been by no means 30 sure az
had been generally believed to be the case.
1T has been stated In number Of the leading
newspapers" said Mr. Fearing that the Ath-
letic Union recently decided TO put n university
crew on the water next spring to compete against
Cornell. Harvard and the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. This statement Is somewhat erroneous.
Just before the Christmas holidays the Union APP
pointed committee Of graduates to inquire into
the possibility OF raising sufficient money. not only
to run the crew this year. but also to pay on an
existing rowing indebtedness Of some 5000. The
committee reported that in It's opinion. the neces-
sary could not be raised, and recommended
that university crew be placed on the water
this spring. but that efforts be directed toward
stocking the boa thouse with boats and paying of
the existing debts. The committee. however. failed
to report any definite sum obtainable among the
graduates. and for this reason It was decided to
allow the crew to go into training In the gym
nasium, on the condition that It incurred no ex-
penses. pending further investigation for this
purpose.
1T has also been reported that Walter Peet has
been selected coach. The fact is no one has
yet been appointed. but the Union has expressed
Peet Is the proper man to coach II. and Mr.. Peet
has promised to do this II the financial dlfnculty
is settled
THE undergraduates are very much worked up
and worried over the prospect Of having no repre-;
sentation In the big race at Poughkccpsie. and
they feel that 1t would be a disgrace and blot
upon coumbias reputation not TO nave crew.

angular race two years ago. and an easy victory
