PERSONAL APPEARANCE
No better looking crew ever sat in q shell. From
the snewy bow to The wlry stroke, there Is the
roundness OF form, the perfect and defiant appear
strength. Cornell, who pulls starboard stroke, is
the heaviest OF the number, weighing 1870 POUNDS
He has the figure olan Achilles ana the manners OF
q well bred gentlemen. In the struggle ON Lake
Saratoga he Will be among the first to respond to
any summons from Captain Rees, doing his whole
duty ana ALTERING not. First among the 0arsmen in
the college, he has demonstrated that the pastime
is not Incompatible with students duty he
was the orator OF IA on class day, recently
held. Rapallo, too is man OF wire and endur
q few days. Those who know HIM are
not afraid Of his oar in the Columoia's
boat. TimpsOn who has the responsible bow oar
In his possession, and who directs the shell In the
contest to victory or defeat is panstaking and
right Height and good weight, ne Will, no doubt
by his excellent WORK prove the wisdom OF the
enoe W Which paced Nun IN that seat Goodwin
fully remarked that part OF GoOdwins few troubles
Is to keep him supplied with 'spruce spoons" In
man full OF pluck, OF cool Judgment ana the peculiar
ability to keep such crew as his in strict disci
phne. Quick and unoDtrusive, his bronzed face
carries with 1t determination and resolution
What there Is OF aquatic worth IN his men Captain
Rees WIN certainly bring out. The substitutes
SeliEman and GrisWOd--were chosen after eX-
tended practical tests, and are endorsed as well
fitted lor the duties that may be assigned them.
ODDS AND ENDS.
The training pursued by Columbia Is not essen
TALLY different from that OF the other University
crews. They eat Of good but coarse food and
eschew all stimulating tonics, exceps perhaps an
occasional glass OF ale Everything IN the pastry
line and the use OF tobacco in any form is pre-
hioired. Bathing Is permitted, but remaining long
IN the water is deemed unWise.
Great improvements during the latter part Of the
past week was visible IN the rowing OF the crew.
1t Is evident they will endeavor to do without
much beauty, but rely upon the power which they
unquestonably have in the boat, and which Cap
tam Rees believes, ii judiciously applied, will
tell its own story"
