twenty-one years old, weight 172, and
 is 5 feet 1115 inches tall.
 Probably the next man in point of | oarsmanship is Beard, a brother of | "Anse" Beard, the football player.
 Beard is a stocky little man and of
 that rare type that pulls his own weight
 and that of several others. He, too,
 is favorite in his class, and is re-
 garded by the students in general with
 great respect. Last year he rowed in
 the same position in the university
 shell and was member of his class
 freshman crew, His age is nineteen
 years, one month; height feet 81a
 inches, and he weights 176 pounds. | Holcomb and Armstrong are men of
 the same stocky, muscular and power
 full type as Beard and in point of stat
 ure form a striking contrast to the re-
 maining five six footers of the eight Holcomb is New Haven man, who
 rowed in the same position on last years
 university crew and on his class crew
 He is Sheffield Scientific school senior | like Captain Armstrong. He is a we'll l built and muscular man, weighing 175 pounds and standing 5 feet 81s inches l high His blade work is better than his body work, but he has good en- durance. He is twenty-two years and eight months old.
 Armstrong is the most thoroughly and beautifully developed man in Yale to- day, and has often been styled the Sandow of Yale, His work in the boat and on the football field and in the gymnasium. has developed a wonderful little body that Is capable of great en- durance and strength. As a captain he is cool headed, and as an oarsman is much greater success than he was as halfback on the Varsity eleven.
 Dater and Cross are both big, lusty, good natured fellows, whose worst feat ures as oarsmen have been their rapid growth, that has almost rendered them too big to get into an ordinary boat. They are strong, but their great bodies are hard to handle and respond less quickly than the lighter and more wiry men in the boat Cross is of New York city and is easily the most powerful man on the crew. and his strength and oarsmanship offset the disadvantage of his weight He is now rowing No. 4, but on last years crew he was at No 6, and rowed at 6 also in the freshman crew of his class. He prepared for college at Groton academy. His age is twenty-one years one month. and he weighs 195 pounds. In height he is six feet two inches. Dater Is of '95 S., and comes from Brooklyn, N. Y Dater prepared for college at Dwight school in Brooklyn. He is we'll built man and pulls very powerful oar, but his water manship is not of the best. He weighs 1S7 pounds and stands six feet two inch es high. His age is twenty-two years.
 Langford is an exceptionally big man for Yale stroke, both in point of height and weight, He has the spirit, how ever, and 1t is easier for the big men In the waist of the boat to follow a big man at stroke than it was to follow Captain Armstrong when he was row ing there. Langford is only nineteen years old, and his eagerness has been causing him to over train frequently.
 Like all big fellows of his years he is l tender, and will have to be handled | with great care, as the day of the race draws near; although he is young and | never had any experience as an oars man except some little training in | western single scuIl club before he en- tered Yale, he nevertheless has learn [ ed steady and even stroke, and even now can give the big men back of him all they want to do.
 Coxswain Thomas Clark of New Or leans is a bright fellow. He steered in the freshman crew last year, but is not as good as olmsted, the former uni versity coxswain. The substitutes, Simpson and Miller, all rowed in the freshman boat last year. and are ar unusually good set of subs" |
 Captain Armstrong and Cook say that there may be change in the' makeup of the crew, which, with the statistics of the4men is as fol- lows:
