nell authority told THE Sun correspondent to-
day that Courtney. who has been training
Cornell crows for ten years. says the Cornells
can outrow any OF the other college oiRhts on
the Thames for two miles. not even excepting
the two varsity eights. The crew. 1t Is said,
have perfect reach and pull. and Just at the
right moment give kick and body motion
that makes their boat fly through the water
From Gales Ferry comes the report to-day
that Columbia has an eight that will do as well

is so" said Courtney. why. don't know as we
have any business with them. We have good
crew. and, II the conditions of wind and tide are
favorable on Tuesday. I expected we might be
able to break the record but the trip here. and
the bad weather. have prevented tho boys from
doing anything in tho shells since last Wednes-
day and there is tho greatest danger that some
Of them will pull in very bad form. We have
only Monday and Tuesday forenoon to prepare
FOR the race. Besides you can never tell Just
what n freshman crew will do on the race
course" Courtney further says that the record
announced as being made by the freshman
crew in their contest with tho varsity at Ithaca
on Juno IL Is incorrect. The time stated was 10
minutes 40 seconds. lie claims 1t was fully five
seconds slower. The race was rowed on dead
water.
