NO YANKEE CREW FOR oLYMP1AD
American oarsmen VIII Not Compete
on the Thames.

AAAa -
on the Thames.
NEW YORK. tune 1S.-No American
crew will be sent TO the Olympic games in
London this summer. After considering
several plans to select a crew from the
cracks oarsmen OF the college and rowing
clubs James P%ilkington and Julian Curtiss,
who were appointed a COMMITTEES to select
the Grew, announce that there is no way
of getting together a representative crew
on short notice. and that lack OF co-opera-
ton and funds have killed the project. In
their report Messrs. P%ilkington and Curtiss
review the different plans that were tried
to select an American eight. They first
tried te get the consent of the university
coaches to select the best men rowing in
the Poughkeepsie and New London re-
gattas, adding them to selections from the
owing clubs, but claim that the college
coaches would not cooperate with them.
next plan was 10 have a final Olympic
try-out In Philadelphia in connection with
the American Rowing association regatta,
but Of the different colleges only Yale and
Pennsylvania were willing to Join In this
contest, so this plan was also abandoned.
The necessity for making an entry before
June / and the lack Of funds further ham
pered the project.

Hank had manufactured a porous sphere
that gently oozed out oil and the slippery

Then we held a general peace conference
and finished the game with regular balls.

Is based on conditions and not merely on
college hopes. For several weeks those on

veteran riysrmen who have watched HaT-
