row The first boat was an easy winner, beating
the second crew by two lengths. The time is un-
derstood 20 have been very close 20 twenty min
utes for the full four miles which IS exceptionally
fast for sluggish water Fuch as that obtaining
when the trial was rowed. That the condition Of
the men is all tha, can be desired Is shown by the
fact that the average loss Of weight per man was
q trihe less than half a pound IN the trial.
Both boats rowed last week with more life than
has been seen in the Columbia crew this spring.
and that IS saying great deal when II is recalled
that the Morningside oarsTnen were rowing almost
IN rnidseason form in April before that discour-
aging slump the time cf the Harvard race.
The Columbia freshmen have made good many
friends along the riverfront by the splendid way
they tear through the water. AS far as form goes
they are poor but they get a wealth OF power in
their long swinging stroke. They gre a heavy and
tall combination promising lots OF ma terial for
future varsity
