At n recent meeting Of tho Marine
and Field Club the estimates for pip
Ing the golf course were brought be-
fore the meeting, but spending money
for that purpose just Mt present did
not appeal TO tho members at this
time, so the matter WAS laid over until

posed changes in the course, however,
that give an increased playing length
we're given Immediate attention. From
thirty to sixty yards will be added to
the first hole by simply moving the tee
back near the Park road, where 1t
originally stood. Combining tho sew

make another big gain by extending
tho old sixteenth hole to a new green

which will then become the fourteenth
tee, az each OF the holes will drop back

seventh and eighth holes. The extend

Grew Problem
At Columbia
Seems Solved
Eugene Ciannini, of N. Y.
A. c., Will Aid Plaisted
i'll His Coaching Work

After many weeks of discussion and
negotiation the crew problem at CO.
lumbla University has been solved for
the coming season at least Following a
meeting of the athletic committee yes-
terday, the third held within the last
ten days, it was announced that Fred
flalsted, who has been in charge of the
work on the machines all fall and win
ter, would assume the title of coach
and that he would be assisted by Eu-
gene Giannin. of the New York Ath-
letic Club
Mr.. Giannini was coach OF the Yale
oarsmen for two years in the dim and
distant past, and then retired from pro-
fesslonal coaching to engage in the in
surance business. He has found time
however. to direct the work of the New
York Athletic Club rowers. and so has
kept in touch with che sport.
The rules of the New York A. C. do
not permit of professional coaching on
the part of it's members, and, in truth,
Mr.. Giannini bade farewell to such
coaching long ago. 1t is therefore only
with the desire to help out the Blue
and White in situation which was
rapidly becoming critical that he con-
sented to devote such time as he could
SPaIe lIOI MS business interests 10
the aid of Mr.. Plasted.
James Rice, the veteran coach who
has been in charge of rowing at Co
lumbia for several years past, an
nounced last fall on the expiration of
his contract that he would not retain
his cid post. During the last few
weeks every effort has been made to
get Mr.. Rice to change his mind, but
to no avail.
1t is understood "Jim", as he is
familiarity known, has accepted an
offer to coach a boat club crew at
Havana, Cuba. Until he is obliged to
leave this country, however, he too,
IS expected to turn in and help Mr.
Plaisted
The crews will go on the Hudson
for the first time Monday, and judging
from the present weather conditions
will continue outdoor work daily.
Only one race has been arranged
for the Columbia crews so far and
that is the Childs Cup event at Prince
ton on May II. The Blue and White
have been invited to take part in the
American Henley on the Schuylkill
and also in the regattas planned by
Harvard and Yale, but it is uncertain
Just now as to whether any of these
invitations will be accepted

Erasmus Hall High School. Blaume
was discharged recently from the navy

his old school long. He took the re-
gents examinations and, receiving a
high percentage, was notified that he
had been awarded scholarship.
Baume has left for Colgate University

One of the visitors from the Antipo-

of Christ Church, New Zealand. and a
brother of the late internationalst
Anthony f. Wilding, whose magnficen.

Australia to win back the famous Davis

coined with enthusiasm, if for no other
reason than that he comes as brother
of the great player and sportsman who

his skill in the game and their abiding
friendship by his bearing, both on and

Big Changes
In the Rules
For Gynnasts
Idea Is to Give Young
Aspirants for the Hon
Ors a Better Chance
By A. C. Cavagnaro

New rules will govern the competi-
tion for the all-around gymnastic cham
pionship of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton at the coming annual meet at the
West Twenty-third Street Young Mems
Christian Association on April S. En-
tries are coming in rapidly and the out
look is for a record number of con-
testants.
The changes were adopted at the an
nual Amateur Athletic Union convcn-
ton in Philadelphia, and were designed
TO give the less experienced gymnast a
better chance against the champions.
In the all-around test the rule has
been altered to read: 1.-TWO exercises
each will be necessary on the five
events constituting the competition
horizontal bar, parable. bars, side
horse, long-hors and flying rings"
Another change affects the weight of
the Indian clubs, which are reduced
from three pounds each to one and a
half pounds. This was done to make
the contest one of skill in swinging
the clubs instead of a test Of cndur-
ance.
Several local colleges have already
entered representatives., but nomina-
tons also are expected from Yale,
Princeton, Pennsylvania and Rutgers.
