THE UNIVERSITY GREW GOES TO NEw-LoSDoN
Cambridge. June tspeciar.-The Harvard crew
leaves Cambridge tomorrow for New.Iondon. lyman.
strobe. is Medical School man. second year lie
rowed No. in the university OF last year. ana
previous 10 that stroke Of the Bowdon College
crew. The only thing which prevented Captain keon
from putting him IN at stroke IN the first place was
fear Of his rclapsng al critical time in the race back
TO his old Bowdon stroke. widely different from
Horvard's-as lIageman did in the Yale crew last wear
But fnr he has shown himself sin gulay free from
such tendency. and as he has determination, he may
be relied upon TO set good steady stroke from start TO
finish.
Captain Kclton. Z. Is we'll known 10 every Harvard
man. A poor man. who Is working his way thrvush
college, independent and upright. frank and generous
. giant In strength, No. Of the university crew ]"
three years. respected and admired by all-that Is
Kcltons record After the class I'm the spring Of
1890. Keton taken 70 the university from MS
class and has remained there ever slncc' TIC
elected captain last fall. and as he graduates ms
year Harvard will be unable TO avail herself OF the
services Of who has proved himself the best oar
that has bern in Harvard for a number OF years.
Acton. at 6, is man who has, perhaps. been talked
about in the papers this year more than any other
Harvard lie has un1ustly been accused OF pro
tessonaiism and various other idle tales have baen
put In circulation concerning him. Acton IS no pro
fessional. lie s Irish gentleman who Is graduate
Of Queens College Corr, and who is. like Captain
KeltOn, working his way lie entered the second
year In the Medical School Inst November and although
he had never rowed stroke In his life before captain
Kelton seized upon him as O strong candidate and has
been working on him ever since. Acton is heavy
and strong, and has the rowing faults which often
accompany sneh a build. but he is improving. and by
July Captain Keiton hopes 10 have him In hrst-class
trim.
Waters. at 8, Is another new man. He Is one Of
the strongest men the crcw-very strong for MS
lie laaf
and this year almost immediately told 20 train
for the university by Captain Keon.
Winthrop at 4, WAS graduated last June and Is in
his nret year at tho Law School. He rowed for two
years the university at q IN 1889 and 1870,
and can therefore be counted a veteran oar. Hc is
only fairly strong but he we'll and has had the
advantage Of having been In a race twice before
Bond who Is rowing No 3 at present. Is another
man who like Waters was taken from his "a class
crew 10 the university. But Bond was not taken TIL
about three weeks ago. lie stroked the O4 crew. when
won In the recent class races. But Bond Will I'M
doubtcdly during the next few days at New-Lohdon
give place to Cummings. 's3. who rowed No. in the
university last year and Is an excellent oar.
The recent illness Of Cummings is the only thing which
prevented him from keeping in the boat right along
Cummings rowed No : his freshman year In his class
crew against the Columbia freshmen
At Is Neal Rantoul. '02, the president OF the
senior class and first marshal OF the next class day
u
man year. was substitute on the university crew In
$780, and last year rowed 3 in the university boat.
At bow Is Marshall Newell, '94. He has been n
university man first, second and all the time since he
has been In college, both In football and baseball
For two years he has been tackle on the university
eleven and for two years he has been bow oar OF the
university crew-a record to be proud Of He Is one
Of the best oars In the boat is strong and one
OF the most popular men in '34
The 'coxswain this Year will be Y. S. Thomas. %
of Wilmington, Del, who steered his class boat in the
recent class races.
The substitutes will be Sladc. 49, who for two
years has been his class strong, but rather
slOw and Bond soon as Cummings gets back into
the boat.
The coaching this year IS what Harvard Is worrying
most about c. +. Adams I'd. and exCaptain Perkins
have been doing 1t. with an occasional word rom
Harry Reyes. Every expected until a few days
ago that Mr.. Koyes would 20 10 New-LondOn when the
went. But so il Is not TO be. lie is too busy
with his private work and cannot come, so the hopes
OF the Harvard shattered In this direction
Charles r. Adams, als0 cannot 80 to New London
till late account Of his Law School examinations
So the whole coaching will devove Perkins Perkins
Is good coach, but he himself appreciates the fact
that he Is not Harry keyes and that he has been
drilling the all the year, and that II is essential
that the should have change. What the out
Will be cannot yet bc told but the Harvard Uni
yersity crew, all things told goes down to NewLOndon
next Monday with much fainter hopes OF victory than
the college entertained at the beginning Of the
