COLUMBIA'S CREWS.

The freshmen have a larger number of men then usual in training, but there seems to be no one to keep them up to their work, and so they loose interest and are not as regular as they should be in their attendance at the gymnasium. The university crew is in almost as bad a way. We have heard that there are a number of new and promising men working, but we have not yet seen an eight at the machines. A few men are conscientious in their training, but the majority are not. And all this in the face of the fact that we have Harvard's last year's crew to row against. The outlook is certainly not very bright, and unless the boat club wakes up and sees that the men are kept up to their work, the result of its inactivity will be most disastrous. We have excellent material for both our crews, but unless that material is properly trained, it will be useless. [Acta.
