THE CORNELL STROKE.
Noted BrItfih 0arsman Points out
Hts Strong and Weak Features.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, June II, 1895.-The noted
earsman, Mr. W. B. Woodgate has writ
ten critical article to the "St. James
Gazette" giving his impressions of the
Cornell crew. He praises their style as
being very uniform. They feather clean
ly, have lively recovery and shoot their
hands off their chests in style equal to
the best Eton and oxford crews. Their
weak features are want of reach and
swing. They row exceedingly short and
their blades overhang Immediately before
dropping into the water instead of merely
falling square, as in the English stroke.
In this way the Cornell men lose time.
They also, he thinks. do too little work
at the beginning of the stroke.
In the case of American crews pre-
viously visiting England, their speed has
always been greater than their staying
power. The present crew seems likely
to make the first three or four minutes
much faster than the average long-swing-
ing of the English crews accomplish, but
it is doubtful whether this initial speed
will put them out of reach of pursuit at
the latter end of the course. AS regards
their recovery, they set an excellent ex-
ample for the modern sluggsh-handed
English crews. They are thorough sports
men and are prepared to do their best
according to the Anglo-Saxon creed and
code and have made a very favorable i'm.
preston at Henley.
