OF events tomorrow and Friday. The Column
bia freshmen were In particularly high fet-
tie when they came In this morning after
q throe.mlle pull and several starts. Boyesen,
who rows at .. remarked. with q laugh. "oh,

added Can't Edison, cant we get some Of that

A general laugh followed this sally. Tho man.
aGer Of the crew said that ell the members were
In good physical condition and doing the best
work Of their stay at West Park.
Tho varsity eight won't out on the launch at
IL 80 o'clock, and were taken down stream with
tho shell In tow. The tido was the last run Of
the food. On the last two miles Of tho course
tho crow padded down to the finish line and
down the tide was against tho oarsmen and
coming back It was slack water, and tho
currents. which got In at tho turn Of the
tide, intorfersd with tho rowing. Coach Cowles
10 opposed TO time pulls over the course, and tho
trip was taken to try Bogue of the freshman
crew In tho position Of coxswain Of tho varsity
boat. Schlussel, the varsity coxswain, is easily
ratified and is out for the present After the
trial this morning Coach Cowles said that he
did not know whether Bogue would be retained.
1t was a week ago that the Columbia varsity
crew made tho discovery that the boat was going
through the water at greater speed and with
less effort than the oarsmen had before noticed.
Every man seemed to get the stroke, which
Coach Cowles has been drilling them at, stimuli
taneously, and to row It with steady swing
and uniform blade work. 1t was one of those
revelations that come when men have been
working together in the same boat every day
for weeks and earnestly trying to master new
style OF rowing without marked success when
suddenly 1t develops that the men have learned
the Lesson unconsciously TO Themselves Ever
since 1t was noticed how easily the crew was
working together and how much smoother the
boat ran for tho same amount Of energy ex-
pended there has been q steady Improvement,

shattuck and Longacre are both In the boat
and will stay there. They, in common with tho
other members OF the crew, appear to be In per-
feet ply scal condition. Longacre, when exam
ined by a physician in Poughkeepsie a few
days ago. was told that he had ruptured
muscle in his stomach, and must
not row any moro. His father came
here at once. greatly worried. and he was again
examined by DR.. Percy Bolton. who thought 1t
would be as well II he gave up rowing for
awhile. Lorgacre then took a trip to New York,
and DR.. McBirnie. the specialist, examined him
carefully. and concluded that while he had
strained a stomach muscle. there was nothing
to prevent his going back into the boat
and rowing as much as he wants to. He
looks to be in splendid health, and Coach Cowles
evidently regards him as o sound man or he
would not keep him. Shattuck Is muscle-bound
in tho back, but his aiment Is yielding to Q
course Of treatment with plasters. An old crew
man said this morning that he thought Shat
tuck had simply caught little cold and 1t had
settled in tho muscles of the back.
