Athletics at Columbia.

Now that the Board of Directors has decided that there is not enough interest in boating at Columbia to warrant putting a 'varsity crew on the water, what interest in rowing does exist in the college centers in the freshman crew. Forty-seven candidates for the '95 boat have presented themselves and the following will be kept in training for the present:

Fish, 156; Dougherty, 157; Shepard, 154; Leonard, 158; Cutler, 153; Van Dermissen, 150; Cushman, 148; Potts, 145; Beech, 144; Egner, 138; Thayer, 137 1-2; Gold, 136; Freeman, 135; Brown, 134; Wilson, 133; Richards, 132; Littell, 131; Crowell, 130; Smythe, 137; Bartholomew, 152; Johnston, 140; Bayles, 140; J. Bartholomew, 140; Foerster, 139; Plant, 136; McKinlay, 134; Nesbit, 136; Maine, 124; G. Whiting, 134; Spaulding, 132; Crane, 130. Fish is temporary captain. Starr Taintor, No. 5, of the '93 freshman crew, is the regular coach.

Lloyd Collis '92, who broke the intercollegiate record in the mile walk last spring, has been elected captain of the track athletic team. Collis means to carry out the same plan of training for his team that Herbert Mapes used.

The officers of the newly elected standing committees of the C. C. A. U., which has charge of all athletics at Columbia, are as follows:

Rowing, R. G. Applegate, chairman; H. S. McKee, representative to executive committee; and C. W. Trippe, secretary. Base ball, R. A. Monks, chairman; W. B. Donnell, representative; P. R. M. Hildreth, secretary. Track athletics, C. W. Whitney, chairman; Lloyd Collis, representative; D. W. Taylor, secretary. Foot ball, T. L. Chrystie, chairman; C. H. Sisson, representative; F. H.
