NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THU COLUMBIA ROWING OUTLOCK CLOUDED . Crew Men Eager to Know Rice's' Views-Some Alumni Pessimistic New Yorlk, undergraduates July of 5.—Alumni and sity, especially those in rewing controversy of the weeks, are waiting with interest to learn the attitude Coach (2 Rice will take in the new affairs. Although it was voted at last week’s meeting at the lumbia Uni- versity club that active membership Le retained in the Intercolleg Rowing association and that Columbia cnter crews in the Poughkeepsie re- gatta next year, as usual, a member «f the Rowing club, which auto- matically went out of existence at t week’s meeting, said yesterday that there was serious doubt whether the new program would go through eccording to the plans of the thusiastic alumni. There are many zfter an exhaustive held in the fall James turn who inve: believe that tigation s there will yet be a serlous question whether Columbia will continue four-mile rowing. Tho expenses of maintaining a crew at Morningside Heights have been very large during the last decade and the greater part of the costs have been incidental to the annual entry in the Poughkeepsie event, involving the maintenance of luxurious quarters at Krum Elbow, from the town of Poughkeep a staff of cook tained for about four weeks. Moreover, the salary paid to Coach ice is known to be one of the highest of any college crew coach in the country. Although Rice is under contract to remain at Columbia until 1921, with an option until 1926, this same group of alumni that prophesy that Columbia will withdraw from the Poughkeepsie regatta also declare that the wishes of Coach Rice will be granted and that he will be released from his contract. Coach Rice has put the proposition up to the rowing authorities in a unique way. He does not openly as- sert that conditions are mnot to h liking, although he has at times e essed dissatisfaction with the small imber of candidates for the across e, where o release has been based on his state- ment that he needs a change. In one of his proposals to the Columbia au- thorities he asked for a leave of ab-| sence for two , during which time | he could either go to any other uni- | versity that wanted him, or return to | lis former home in Toronto. He has | caid that he has got into a “rut” and| “that a vear or two away from the lower Hudson would be of infinitel value to himself as a coach and to the | Columbia crew in general. At present Columbia rowing affairs | ere in the same condition as they were Fefore any attempt was made to with- | draw from the Intercollegiate Rowing | sssociation. Although there are few “wha insist that the Columbia authori- ties will want to retain Rice if he con- tinues in his petition for a release, one | of the prevaling ideas is that with the | promised revival in the fall and the | enthusiasm which will accompany it Rice will discontinue his efforts to leave and will be anxious to set to | work with the revitalized rowing situation on Morningside Heights.
