The oarsmen were accompanied by
four rooters, who, though few in num-
Der, will make Council Bluffs and Lake
Manawa resound with the praises of
the Ottumwa crews.
Confident of Victory.
For Ottumwa is confident of victory.
No thought of being defeated has en-
tered the minds, OF the oarsmen. That
this city has oarsmen was demonstrate
ed to a nicely few years ago, when
Ottumwa men walked away from all
competitors in the sculling events, and
again last year, when George Rup-
loo with much ease.
Good Four This Year.
In the fours, Ottumwa has not been
so successful. Dubuque has an excel
lent four, made up of four good fellows,
who know how to row, and they have
succeeded in showing Ottumwa the
stern of their shell repeatedly. How
ever, much attention has been paid
this year to the local four and the
present crew is considered one of the
best, if not the very best, that ever
represented Ottumwa, and Dubuque
will have to work hard to sustain her
reputation.
