In its annual winter meeting in New York Saturday, the American Rowing Coaches Association made another attempt to salvage some of the wreckage that war has made of the 1940 Olympic Games by adopting a resolution that the regular Olympic crew tryouts be held on Princeton's Lake Carnegie as scheduled.

A committee was appointed to consult with rowing authorities in an effort to carry on these trials despite the cancellation of the Games, and perhaps to extend the regatta to include foreign crews.

President Ten Eyck of Syracuse has appointed a committee of three: Tom Bolles of Harvard, Harrison Sanford of Cornell, and Charles Logg of Rutgers.
