Columbia Gets
Jim Rice Back
AsCrew Coach
Noted Oarsman Signs 2.Year
Contract to Handle Affairs
at Morningside Heights

James Campbell Rice, Familiarity
known in rowing circles as "Jim" Rice
is back again at Columbia University.
This fact was made known yesterday
by the Columbia University Athletic
Association, which announced that Rice
had signed a contract to coach the crew
for the next two years. Rice has al
ready served twelve wears in this ca
pacity at the University Heights in
stitution.
Rice returns to Columbia after
spending the last wear in private bust
ness. He resigned the Columbia post
last June. At that time it was init
mated that Rice would succeed jim
Courtney at Cornell, while another
reason was that the coach was thor
oughly disgusted with the lack of stu
dent enthusiasm and support for the
sport.
Following the resignation Of Rice the
position was placed in the hands of
Fred Plaisted, veteran oarsman, while
Eugene Giannini of the New York Ath-
letic Club, was retained in an advisory
capacity. However, there was little
need for their assistance, for rowing
at Columbia was dormant as the ma
jority of the men had joined the colors.
Rice will have some good material to
draw from. as many Of the oarsmen
who jumped into the war late in 1917
are expected to return to college this
fall Bob O'Loughlin, captain of the
1916 crew, is expected back along with
Duncan Legs and Bob Pennell
Rice got his rowing knowledge in
Canada. where he competed for many
years and was among the best scullers
developed in the Dominion. He won
many honors in national and interna-
tional championships. both in singles
and doubles. Rice was born in Dundee,
Scotland, back in 1870. and he later
came to this country, residing in Phila
delphia. His family then moved to
Toronto, and Rice, when still young,
took up the rowing game
After retiring from active competi-
ton Rice acted as coach for many
clubs in Canada and this country. and
then got his first college coaching Job
with the Weld Boat Club, of Harvard.
which he held until 1906, when he ac-
cepted Columbia's offer TO coach its
crew He has been with the local col
lege ever since. earning many high
honors, among which was the winning
of the Poughkeepsie regatta in 1914.
1t was the first time that Columbia had
captured this historic title. after al
