COLUMBIA MEN TRAINING.
Members OF the Crews and the Track Teams
show Promising Form.

During the past week the Columbia Univer-
sity crew took advantage OF the fine weather
and smooth water and u marked improvement
in their rowing was effected. The makeup OF
the eight is now becoming pretty we'll settled,
| and the men have been rowing over a week in
| the following order:
Bow. A. W. Putnam. 1856; No. 9. B. W. Pressprid
Captain, 1875; No. g. C. NICK. Lewis 1853; No Nc
Kay, l7O No. 3. E. o. shattuck. 1888; No o. G. H.
Carter. 1913: No. :. o. Sougare. l73; stroke. II. E.
Pierrepont, 1856.
Among the prominent graduates who were up
to the crew row OF late were George s. Rives
90; II. C. Cornell. IL and +. S. Bangs, 80. They
all went on the launch and watched an after
moons practice, and from all accounts we're
favorably impressed with the crews work. They
were glad to the long body swing that the
men are getting which differs so much from that
OF previous years, and they liked the way the boat
went between strokes. In their opinion just
little more dash is needed in the crew as a whole
but the lack OF that is attributed to the practice
that was lost during the poor weather OF two
weeks ago.
A four-oared gig has just been procured for
the use OF the varsity substitutes. 1t is a boat
built by Vought, the Harlem River man. The
idea is to have the substitutes practice regularly
in it, rowing the same amount OF time as the
in case they are needed in the crew they will be
able to step right in and he equal to the work.
1t is also expected that they will be entered in
the four-oared gig race at the Harlem regatta on
May 81. The men training in the four are:
Bow, Machen. l53; No. 2. oddie. 1886 No. 3. Eisner.
164; stroke, Tilt, 15J.
