COLUMBIA WANTS RACE.
Harvard's Annapolis Match Leaves
New Workers Without Contest.

New York. Jan N-The arrangement
Of d boat race between Harvard and
the Naval Academy at Annapolis COR
April y on the Severn marks the
passing of the last chance for another
race between Harvard and Columbia for
this spring II has been expected Al the
MOrningside institution that the II q
which Columbia won on the Charles last
year would be rowed again in this year
SCHEDULE but the proposal to that effect
did not meet with favorable consideration
at Cambridge. As long as the Annapolis
Harvard race hung fire however. there
was still chance Of CoMmbia's getting
a match with the Crimson. bat now that
the middies will race Harvard there is
no chance for Columbia. This announce
ment was made from Cambridge yester-
day, and was confirmed by Columbia's
rowing management.
There is in consequence much uncer-
tainty as 20 what Columbia will do in
preliminary racing. There is no race now
arranged but the contest in the Harlem
regatta and this is not considered sUffi-
cient racing prior to going TO Pougl-
keepsie There is no possibility of race
with Annapolis either unless Annapolis
does not intend rowing at POughkeepsie
The definite stat ment was made last
night that Columbia would make no en-
gagements with any crew for prelimi-
nary races if that crew should appear at
Poughkeepsie. as it is considered that pre-
liminary races OF this character detract
from the interest in the general intercol-
legiate regatta later.
