MAY INCLUDE COLUMBIA
Blue and White Crew Wanted
for Princeton Regatta.
NOTHING OFFICIAL AS YET
More than Likely, However,
That Rice's Men Will Be Seen
on Carnegie Lake.

Although an authoritative statement could
not be obtained at Columbia yesterday in
regard to the entry Of the Blue and White
crew in the proposed triangular regatta at
Princeton, It IS understood among the stu
dents, especially those interested in rowing,
that Columbia will be represented. Aside
from the race which Columbia Is scheduled
to row with Annapolis on the Severn on
May II. the plans for the eight have not
been announced. Because OF this previous
ARRANGEMENT with Annapolis IT IS not like
ly that If Columbia does row on Lake Car
negie it will be on this date 1t seems that
the only possible date for the regatta Is
May 1S for there Is little possibility Of the
regatta being held in April. Pennsylvania
has already arranged TO row Annapolis on
the Severn on May 4, so that date is elimi-
mated. The American Henley regatta Will
probably be held on the last Saturday Of
May, and May IS seems TO be the oRly day
feasible for the holding of the regatta at
Princeton.
So far as is possible, the stewards Of the
intercollegiate Rowing Association en-
deavor to keep the various crews that take
part in the Poughkeepsie regatta apart be-
fore that regatta, but in the present case It
seems that the stewards must have consent
ed to the Princeton-Pe Pennsylvania Columbia
contest. Thomas Reath, ST., OF Pennsyl-
vania, and Morton G. BOgue OF Columbia,
are members Of the board, and they proba-
bly, had little difficulty IN, get ting the ap-
prcsal q Judge-frvine, of Cornell, the third
member. In thus allying itself with two
members Of the Poughkeepsie contingent
the Lake Carnegie regatta may mean the
first step in the entrance Of Princeton into
the Poughkeepsie regatta. Such a step has
been looked forward 10 eagerly by college
oarsmen for the last few years, or since
Princeton made its re-entry into the college
rowing world. There certainly is plenty Of
room in the Hudson for the Princeton eight.
| If the arrangements for the race with
| Princeton are consummated, 1t is hardly
probable that Columbia will take part in
any other contests ia the preliminary sea-
son, outside Of the Annapolis, American
Henley and Memorial Day regatta, and, Of
| course the Lake Carnegie race. Columbia
and Yale began negotiations looking to
| contest between the two, and 1t is under
stood that the race was looked upon favor
ably both at New Haven and at Morning
! side Heights James O. Rodgers, the Yale
| graduate coach, however decided that he
would have no races this year except the
one with Harvard. That effectually put an
| end TO the Columbia race for this year, but
II is said that the two will get together as
! soon as the new system is safely estab-
llshed at Yale. Columbia was also carrying
on correspondence with Harvard, but the
! Crimson found that its schedule was full
for this year.
! II was announced by Harry A. Fisher,
! the graduate manager Of athletics at Co
| Iumbia, yesterday, that despite the desire
on the part Of the Dartmouth hockey team
TO have the. league game postponed which
was scheduled to take place between Dart
mouth and Columbia in the new Boston
arena on Monday night, the game Will
! either be played or will stand forfeited TO
| Columbia The matter was brought up at
meeting of the executive committee or the
intercollegiate Hockey League, and 1t was
decided that only in the event Of exten-
uating circumstances would 1t be permissl-
| BILE to cancel or postpone league match'
| and the fact that the Dartmouth team mas
1 not had sufficient practice was not consld-
| cred an extenuating circumstance. There

/ on Monday, and the game will be played as
scheduled. + ...-....
