News comes from London that James
Wray. the Harvard coach. is very severe In
his reply to the comments made by Titus,
| the American professional oarsman. He
said today:
Titus has not seen the Harvard crew ana

one knows that we did not come over as
| representatives of the United States. There

and Cambridge claims to represent Eng

About Pat Dempsey.
Anent the reported retirement of Pat
Dempsey. Georgetown's rowing coach. there
have been rumors that he might come to
New York to handle the Columbia Univer-
sity crews, who have not met with an
abundant degree of success at the Pough-
keepsie regattas of the past few years.
If the Columbia University Rowing Asso-
citation wants to make change In the
coaching system next season there will be
no difficulty in finding a man to take the
place of Jasper T. Goodwin, the present
leader of aauatics at the Morningside
college.
In addition to Dempsey 1t is said that
Richard Glendon of Annapolis also Is being
considered. while despite the fact that TINS
was his last year In the rowing game and
that he was going to devote his future ener-
giles to sheep ranching. it has been learned
from an excellent source OF authority that
the ''Bodger" coach would be glad to receive
a bid to come to New York. In fact. IL was
stated that he had written to some of those
prominently connected With Columbia row.

with the approval Of the graduate directors

local college draws most OF its men from a
large city. while Cornell, Wisconsin
and Syracuse have a large number OF
husky farmer lads to draw on. These
men are almost In good enough con-
