COLUMBIA CREW
MEN FAIL RICE
Only Enough for Two Fights as
Varsity Material.

Rowing affairs at Columbia reached
crisis Yesterday. when hardly moro
than a corporal's guard reported for
the varsity and freshman crews. Al
though thirty frst-year men pledged
themselves to come out for the fresh
man eight when the call for candidates
was made early IN the week. not more
than half that number has been or
hand since actual practice began.
The situation with regard to the
varsity crew is hardly better, for Of
a SQUAD Of twenty-eight who promised
70 row Just enough for two Fights have
reported. Two of the best oarsmen
have been forced 20 give up rowing
because of parental objection. They
are y. B. Ferris. who rcwed No. IN
the varsity shell last June, and r. W.
Jauss. >'ho was No. 3 in the first crew
at Poughkeepsie. Jauss was in the
second eight. but was TO have been sent
I'd TO the varsity eight during the
coming week.
With the race with Yale only few
weeks off, the loss of Ferris and Jauss
makes Columbia's chances of beng rep
resented BY even a fair crew slim in
deed. In the nine years that he has
been at Columbia Rice has never had
50 small p squad for either the varsity
or freshman crew as have reported
this fall
