the roughness of the water. The Cor
nell crew will row, unless further
changes are found necessary, in these
positions:
Hall, '94, is stroking the boat. He
rows at 1853 pounds. AS stroke OF the
go freshman boat he won donors, and
since becoming varsity man III '92 has
shown steady Improvement. Unlike
the ordinary run Of stroke oars, he Is
very strong man. He has. however,
many Of the finer points to master. Par
ticularly is this SO of his blade work.
His time is fairly regular and hitting up
to the stroke. He uses good judgment
in getting it up by degrees.
Capt. G. j. Barr, who is rowing at 2.
is one OF the best all-round athletes in
the college. He is an old varsity man,
as wei as football expert. He rows at
aud, what is more, he has the ability to
use all his powsr to the best advantage,
and, despite fairly heavy weight, can
row as fast and as long as r. q. ellison,
who weighs but 155 pounds.
ellison is also an eld varsity man, and
rows at Z. He is valuable man in the
position to set the port stroke, due to
his long experience and training under
the careful eye Of Courtney.
Barr and ellison are the two powers
in the boat and situated so they can rem
der the greatest possible steadineSs to
the crew.
H. G. Troy. who sits at No. 6. weighs
16S pounds. Last year he captalned the
freshman crew and was one of the first
to receive chance in the varsity boat
this year.
He has a number Of faults to remedy,
chief of which are general slowness
in the catch and humping the shoulders.
He is also apt to use his arms on the end
of the stroke, making it jerky.
r. l.. Shafe at 8 is 160-pound man.
He roWed with the freshmen last year.
His slide work is particularly poor, and
OH the heave he pulls out of the direct
fore and aft line. He has. however, the
faculty of making every pound tell, and
is backed up by fine endurance.
+. q. Hager, at No. 3. is ano ther of
last years freshman crew. He weighs
ITO pounds. He is very apt to swing
out of the boat the way Shafe does, and
is slow on the catch. He is a very hard
worker, and his heaves are telling
factor in sending the boat. His blade
work is ragged as yet, and on the end
OF the stroke he gives final pull with
his arms.
T. A. Rollins is pulling No. 4. He
replaces W. q. KrautZ, who was dis
placed the other day. Rollins weighs
ITO pounds, and is said to be doing clean
and satisfactory work. KrautZ, the man
lhe replaced, had the wObbeS pretty
rbadly, and was clipper of ather pro-
nounced type.
The bow oar Is A. G. Freeborn. re-
putedly first-rate oar at any place in
the boat, and whose weight is trifie
under 100. He replaces collins, who
has been pulling in the bow for great
part of the season. 1t is understood that
Collins took a setback recently, rowing
a ragged stroke. Collins came with the
crew, though, as substitute. and as he
has been coached in the double pretty
hard lately by Courtney, 1t is probable
he has overcome his fault. 1t is not un-
likely that ne may yet go in the bow.
w. w. Sherman. weight 100 pounds,
is the coXswain. He weighs an even
100 pounds, and has the entire conf
dence of the crew.
The criticisms given In the above
mentions OF the men come from the
ground they have recently left, OF
course, a may not occur when they
get down to work on Western water.
AS a whole they row well together. and
the faster they go the cleaner the stroke
is. There is every reason to believe
that the Cornell varsity eight OF the
present year will suffer nothing by COM
parison with previous years when the
eyentful moment arrives.
