COLUMBIA CREWS RACE
Several Changes Made, and Second
Boat Beats First.

Several changes were made in the boating OF
the Columbia crews yesterday, some of which
may be permanent. The most significant was
the transference Of Starbuck to the second boat.
Robinson. who has been in the second boat, was
sent to No. in the first, where he replaced
Boyle who was transferred TO No. 8. Won Saltza
was not present and his place at No. was
taken by J. Mackenzie. This change is not re-
garded as permanent.
With this combination the second varsity was
able to defeat the first in three-mile race The
first, second and third boats were started with
the varsity about a length and a half behind the
others. All the crews rowed about thirty to the
minute. Durant, who was coxswain of the sec
ond boat steered for the dead water. while
Winslow, in the first boat hit the tide.
At the end of thee miles the second boat
had increased its lead to two lengths and a
half, while the third boat had dropped well in
the rear
