WILLIAM A. BANCROFT.

William A. Bancroft. now Mayor Of Cam
bridge, seventeen years ago was the stroke and
captain of the Harvard crew, and his work in
that position several times won the Yale race for
the crimson. He Is the boating oracle of Har-
ward, and not year goes by without the cry:
Get Bancroft to coach the crew" He says:
entirely with individuals: in no place can theory
do less and practical work more than in ath.
letics. There are evidences enough in history of
success attained simply because the leader was

Great credit Is of course, due TO Yale teams

The stigma Of defeat is another consideration
which makes Yale men work harder than our

celved after either victory or defeat.
In regard to methods of training cannot say
much except about the ball nine. This branch
Of sport is In excellent hands.
In one or two particulars, however, believe
that the methods could be improved. First of
all, sharp game should be played every day
