seems to be that the winner OF tho 100
at Athens will have to run the distance
under ten seconds in order to win.
1t is Il question whether the Britishcrs
will be able to furnish man of Hill

II is said that the best in England at
this distance is Lieutenant Haswell.
There are also several runners who are
called good medium quarter-mile men
that travel the 40 In about fifty-one
seconds. With only these performers
available Americans will hardly admit the
probability OF an English win in this
event.
Naturally the Britishers are more con-

NEW YORK. February 10.--All the Co
lumbla, crews are practicing on the ma
chimes inithe gymnasium under the tutel-
age of Coach Goodwin. Heretofore the
work has been desutory, because the
candidates We're busy preparing for their
md-year- examinations in order that they
might not encounter the difficulties of the
ineligibllity. Coach Goodwin says he will
have almost as many candidates on hand
for the Varsity eight the Varsity four
and the freshmen eight as he had last
year, but he has no idea how many stu
dents will come out for places on the
various crews that are to row In the new
spring regatta events.
This question. in fact. is worrying the
rowing management, and it Is expected
that steps will be taken shortly to pro-
vide coaches for those who do not ex-
pect to try for places In the Varsity and
freshmen boats. Manager Bogue recently
was asked whether It was likely that a
special coach would be hired for these
oarsmen He said that under existing
conditions the crew would not be able
to assume the extra liability. He pur-
poses. however. making the spring re-
gatta success, in order that in future
years the interest will increase in row.
