! Poughkeepsie n Y June 1.-Two varsity
/ crews Jumped into prominence in the prac-
/ tice hours this afternoon, and the rowing
experts seemed to have forgotten all about
| all crews except Wisconsin and George
! town Coach Andy O'Dea, of the Wis
consin crews was out for u good long row
! this evening and he greatly pleased
with the showing his made. The seniors
had an eight mile row. and the freshmen had d
long pull of six miles. O'Dea said tonight that
his crews were now in good condition as they
were before they left Madison. 1t is evident that
there will be more changes in the Wisconsin
shells and the crews as announced yesterday
will row in that position in the races next Sat
urday Coach Ned Hanlan. of the Columbia
crews followed the Badger crews for mile
with the Columbia launch tonight. and when
he got out of the launch he said Mr.. O'Dea has
a first class varsity crew. The men row good
stroke and their blade and body work is ex-
Ceedingly good"
Coach ODea did not seem like the idea of
Hanlan following his crews and when he dis
covered that they were being trailed by the
Neyy-York coach he ordered the men to stop
rowing Even this did not deter Mr. Hanlan
from paying the Wisconsin crews a handsome
tribute.

night was the Georgetown eight. Coach Demp-
sev took the men up III stream. using the
Syracuse launch which had been kindly offered
by Coach Sweetland of Syracuse After reach

down the course in slack water at a rapid rate
There watches held on the oarsmen, but
the time not given out. They rowed a
strong and steady stroke and made the boat
shoot through the water by Jumps Their work
was admired by the other coaches. who got
a glimpse of them through their glasses, ana
Georgetown stock rose several points IN the
minds Of the aquatic enthusiasts
Ned Hanan made another stir among the
Columbia OarSmen to-day 1t Is not ot'en thdt
he gets angry. but this morning he was en-
ragged when Captain Scott. Of the freshman
crew refused obey the orders Of the coach
The captain was told to keep the crew well
inshore because of the rough water but Cap
tain Scott did not do so. Afterward Hanlan
accused Scott of disobeying him and de-
manded ScOtts resignation as captain OF the
crew. 1t was Immediately forthcoming and the
crew then got together and elected - ~.
