COLUMBIA TO RETAIN
COACH JAMES {. RICE

New York. Aug. Elm formal state
merr issued last night concerning the
immediate and future status of rowing at
Columbia University, Charles Halsted
Mapes, chairman of the university COM
mittee on athletics, announced that
James c. Rice would continue as crew
coach. There have been many prevalent
reports that Coach Rice would leave
Columbia altogether or for a period of
two or three years, and Mr. Mapes' an
nouncement serves to deny all such
rumors
Coach Rice was very urgent Immediate
ly after the intercollegiate regatta on
June II that he be released from his
Columbia contract, which is in force until
1921 and with an additional five-year
option. But 1t is likely that the en-
thusiastic action of the Columbia Alumni
last month, when they voted down the
proposition to withdraw from the Inter-
collegiate Rowing Association and the
Poughkeepsie regatta. served TO change
Coach Rice's plan to insist on his re-
lease

when past experiences were taken into
consideration the consensus of oDinjon
was that the lower course is impractira-
oie. In 1910 the national regatta was
( he!d on the lower course which runs
/ along the Potomac drive from IittIa
below the Lincoln Memorial to the High
/ way Bridge, and several of the visiting
crews were Capsized by the rough water
lhere Is such a wide eXpanse along
lIe river at this Place. with no hills for
protection. that a slight blow makes the
water so choppy that good rowing is i'm
possible and as these events must be
rowed on that day such chances as hav-
ing them interferred with in this mannar
cannot be taken.
number of cities are handicapped in
Just this manner and find 1t imDossihIe
TO get Out-of-town rowing men TO SIM
port their regattas because thev realize
that 1t Is not the best oarsmen that win
| the races but the ones who are fortuna tn
enough not to have their boat swamped
Such conditions do not exist. however,
on the upper Potomac course, as the
nils on the Virginia shore shelter the
river at that place and it is reasona blv
smooth at all times. 1t would require
heavy storm to make this course unus-
able for such events
Ihere is another advantage the unner
course has over the lower one and tina
is in accommodations for the spectators
When the plans now under way by the
| regatta committee are completed the
Georgetown course will have ideal
! facilities from which the public car
view the races.
The Aqueduct Bridge is located
about midway of the mile over which
the oarsmen will have to row and
from there spectators can see both the
start and the finish. Near the finish
line there is a large open water front
which will accommodate fully a thou
sand people, while arrangements are
under way for the placing of several
barges with chairs for about five hun
dred people along the race course.
The course will be straight awav
there being no turns and one will be
able to see the crews from the time
they start until they cross the finish
line.
Not alone will there be ample seating
capacity for spectators. but arrange
ments have been made whereby there
, will be accommoda tions near the finish
for fully five hundred automobiles.
1t will be seen from the above that
the Potomac Boat Club is making every
effort to make the public comfortable
on the day of the race and in return
they surely deserve the loyal support of
every public spirited person in the Dis
trict
AS one of the officials of the club
stated, I'VE have undertaken a big Job
which requires a great deal of effort
but we feel we are fully able to take
care of It If the public will only lend
their support. l do hope our excursion
of the 23rd will be a success and that
many people of the District will lend
their support by buying tickets for this
affair and joining with on our trip
down the river. We are giving them the
regatta without cost and I feel they
should reciprocate by attending the ex-
cursion."

REX CLUBMEN ARE
READY FOR w., B. AND A

Local followers of the independent base
ball team will no doubt turn out in a
good number today to witness the game
between the fast Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis nine, of Annapolis juno
ton, and the Rex Athletic Club, of this
city.
This game is scheduled 10 be played
on the Mohawk Clubs field at Seven
teenth and D street. southeast. starting
at 3 p. m. This is the first game the
crack w, B. and A. team has played
in Washington this season and as every
local team that has visited its grounds
this season has been beaten, the fans
will watch with interest this contest to-
day.

cal boys, will pitch this contest for the
visitors, while Blundon and Hurd will
form the battery for the Rex clubmen.

Middle States Regatta Is
But Twenty-One Days Off

There now remains hut twenty-one
days in which Washington can make
preparations for the big Middle States
regatta 10 be held on the Potomav River
Labor Day.
On that day this city will be the gath
erlng place of most of the best oarsmen
in the East. Not only will the quality
be high. but the number OF visitors
should far surpass anything of its kind
held in this section in years.
Reports are daily being received at
the Potomac Boat Club to the effect that
practically the whole Philadelphia row.
ing fraternity will be here to compete
in the many events. A number of the
New York club have signified their in
tention of sending crews The Baltimore
rowing contingent will undoubtedly be
here in large numbers, while there is
possibility of crews coming from Pitts
burgh and cities in that section The
Virginia Boat Club, of Richmond, had
a number of crews out training for this
event for some time and one can see
no reason why the entry list for this
regatta should not be one of the largest
in a decade.
The Middle States this season bid fair
to attract the elite of the country in
the rowing game and a splendid after
noon of sport is assured all those who
care to witness the races on Labor Day
1t is the plan of the regatta commit
tee to make this a gala up-river occa-
sion. and with this end in view they are
urging all of the boat houses, boat clubs
and business places which are located
along the river front to Clean up
Paint up" and decorate.
The committee is anxious that the Wis
tins oarsmen may receive hearty well
come and that they are impressed with
the appearance of our river front. 1t
is hoped that all of the rivermen will
give the Potomac Boat Club their sum-
port in the clubs efforts to put on q
holiday dress, such as using bunting and
flags.
A number OF the yacht clubs have
agreed to give what assistance thew can
on that day and have promised they will
turn out in force. AS one of the Off
cials expressed himself, I'VE will show
the visitors what a yachting city the
District Is by having a lane of yachts
along the course through which the con-
testants will pass. We will be dressed
in our best holiday garb, and l am sure
1t will be a great sight"
The United States Coast Guard Service
has consented to have revenue cutters
detailed to patrol the course to see
that the CONT tants are not interfered
with ana 10 assist IN preventing acci-
dents. The harbor police will also be
on the job to lend their assistance in
preserving order.
The race course this year will be what
is known as the upper river course and
when the arrangements now under wav
are completed ideal accommodations for
both the contestants ana the spectators
will be made.
The regatta committee went into the
matter Of which course would be the
best both from the standpoint of oars
men and spectators, and after due con-
sideration decided in favor of the upner
course.
Both courses offered advantages. but
