Engineers to Come Here May
20-Never Have Met Blue
and White.
by DANIEL.

Now that Columbia has decided to
build rowing quarters on the Harlem
River. in conjunction with its projected
stadium on the Dyckman tract. It ID
planning TO make the river a center for
intercollegiate competition. Last spring,
just when everybody had the Harlem
converted into Styx In SO far as inter-
collegiate rowing was concerned, CO.
lumbia brought the Childs cup race here
and with rafting good regatta began
the rehabilitation OF the old course.
The movement will be continued on a
bigger scale this year. Some time ago
we told OF Columbia's having arranged
to row against Yale on the Harlem on
April 29, In a regatta which will mark
the first appearance Of Eli crews on q
New York course. Yesterday we learned
from Morton G.. Bogue. who had taken
the place Of Charles Halsted Mapes as
Columbia's rowing committee chairman
and representative on the board of stew
ards Of the Intercollegiate, Rowing Asso-
ciation, that the Blue and White will
row a second regatta on the Harlem on
May 20 with Massachusetts, Tech.
The Engineers never have met Column
bia on the water. Their appearance here
will mark their real debut in intercol-
against Harvard, but it is associated
with Harvard enthusiastically. Tech.
which will go in for rowing on a bigger
scale than ever before, will open its sea-
son against Yale at Derby on May 6 and
will row Harvard on the Charles on
May IS. It will have no freshman crew
In these regattas.
Columbia's rowing arrangements have
not yet been completed but we will
have two regattas on the Harlem" said
Mr.. Bogue. who will be remembered as
the coxswain of great Columbia eight.
1--WE will meet Yale here on April 2S.
and on May l3 we will go to Princeton
to row against Pennsylvania and the
Tigers for the Childs cup. which Column
bia won on the Harlem last May. On
May 20 We will row again on the Har-
lem In all our regattas. with the ex-
ception of that at Poughkeepsie--if we
go back there--we do not contemplate
having q freshman crew."
West shore Dall<s Again.
The mention Of Poughkeepsie brought
up the fact that there is another little
debate with officials Of the New YORK
Central Railroad regarding the running
of an observation train. The West Shore
division declares that 1t cannot run the
train. It has not had its own observa-
tion train since 1916. Last spring 1T de-
clined to run one and the intercollegiate
Rowing Association borrowed the Har-
vard-Yale train from the New Haven
road. The Poughkeepsie regatta was
rowed on June 22 and the New London
event on June "a.
This year New London will come first
on June 23, and Poughkeepsie on June
26. If the stewards can borrow the New
Haven observation train again the re-
gatta will be held once more at Pough-
keepsie. IL they cannot get an observa-
ton train for Poughkeepsie they VIII
have to move the regatta springnelo'
Mass with its fine course on the Con-
nec.,cut River. has made an oner 1or
the regatta and may land It,
The Poughkeepsio course is an ideal
one for the regatta and is well located
with regard to New York. whence niost
of the onlookers come. But the stewards
are getting tired of the annual squebble
with the West Shore Railroad and may
