YALE NOTES.


 Candidates For the Urevv.- Addressed
 by Captain Allen - The Five Empty
 Places in she Boat Yale's Long
 UnbrokeR Record Of Boating Vie-
 tories-Mr. Bishops InQulries.
 About twenty candidates for the univer- sity crew met in 0. A. Shsldon's room to len. He referred to the foot ball defeat as the result of lack of intereskand he hoped that such would not be the case in rowing. Five places are to be filled in the boat. Caldwell, Corbin, and Woodruff have left college. Gill and Hartwill, who are still in the university say they will not row next June. It will practically be new crew. The race can be won only by hard training and great interest in the work. Great re- liance is put on the Yale stroke and many seem to think that it will win the race for Yale somehow. or other. There is more myth than fact in the Yale stroksi What won the races for the last four years is disci- pline and hard work. There is no reason why fifth victory can not be added to Yale's unbroken record, providing the same policy heretofore adhered to, shall be fol- lowed out this next season. Captain Allen Will be at the gymnasium every afternoon from four till six o'clock from now till the end of the term to instruct any who wish to row in the tank. Active training will begin the first Saturday of the next term. On the first of February all who intend to train for the crew must be working, for after that time nobody will be taken on by the captain. On the first of March the candi- dates will be cut down to fourteen, who will then go to training table. Bob Cook and other ex-captains will give personal attention to the crew. Captain Allen urged all to stop smoking cig- arettes immediately and to keep in good con- dition during the Christmas vacation.
