and public alike to a high pitch
The one chance Of getting Carpenter
over TO this country for match was
the fact that he would agree TO turn
his share of the purse over TO the
French Red Cross fund. and the pro-
Inoters. in addition must give an equal
amount Otherwise Georges would not

CREW PRACTICE
Columbia Crews To Start
Training January 2 For
Busy Season in
the Shell.

New York. Dec 1S-Coaeh James
c. Rice and Capt r. r. Mclaughlin
have announced that indoor rowing
practice for the Columbia crews will
commence on January >.
Last year the work indoors did not
begin until the middle of February.
and this DELAY Is one Of the causes at
tributed for Columbia's poor showing
in the Poughkeepsie regatta. The
Hudson river is seldom free from ice
until about April !. so that outdoor
rowing is always later than at the
other training waters of rival crews
in the annual regatta.
Even when the Hudson is clear of
dangerous ice there are always heavy
currents from the spring freshets that
prohibit too early attempts at rowing.
and last year Columbia was further
Handicapped by continued squalls al
most every afternoon in April with
the result that practice drilling was
slow. and the Columbia eight was the
least advanced Of the entries in the
first event OF the year. the Childs cup
