There are now nine crews upon the river, anu u
finer lot Of young college athletes have never met al
one place before 1t is indeed fact often commented
on that all OF the crews this year seem to pc strong
and some close confidently looked ior' Slice
their arrival here no time has been wasted Every
crew has been on the river at least twice Gay ana
under the careful coaching Of skilled oarsnen many
faults have been remedied and their general style Oh
rowing much improved The course has been Ragged
and the range posts set ii is possible Tor the
crews 10 20 over the course and get their time lor
each half MILE If any of them have done ths thelr
time has not been caught by any one disposed TO
give IL to the public In conversation recently captain
- Rob- Cook said "Yale has good crew, but II IS
NOT rs fast as the crew of last year, while Harvard Is
i'm much better shape than she was o year ago
Harvard has been getting nearer ana nearer 10 the
Vale stroke for the last few years and this year mas
succeeded so well that but for The cOOrs worn ny le
Nswnns il would be difficult 10 distinguish the tNo
crews when they are at work on the water faIe
has a fair chance to win, but consider the harVaIu
crew very and think its strength has been under
estimated. At all events believe THIS year thst
neople will see q race" The average weight OF DOM
crews is 173 70 pounds, while the average age Oh te
Harvard crew Is about year older than fale.
In the triangular race which occurs on WEDNESDAY
between the university crews OF Cornell Columbia ana
Pennsy lvana Cornell seems to be the favorte. Inns
crew and also the Cornell freshman crew arrived mere on
Thursday In charge Of their trainer Charles Nourtuei
In speaking Of the university crew Captain WOlc su
We have not made as good time as last years crew,
hut still we hope to win, though understand COuHDd
has a strong crew and Pennsylvania the best crew
she ever sent TO New London" Little IS heard Just
now about the triangular freshman race when occurs on
Thursday between Yale Harvard, and Columbia, but
ali three crews are believed TO be strong and an inter-
estpg race is looked for.
