thcr academic juniors or scientific seniors and all rowcd in tho crack freshman crew of '93 that the experts considered equal to most of the varsity crews that are sent to the Thames. Last year this "lucky six stuck together and made up the backbone of Fred JohnSun's victorious crew. They have never yet ruwed in a losing boat, and they have been together in four races, in Cluding their C2aSS rcgattas. Longacre is also veteran. He, too. rowcd in his win ming freshman crew and is the man who was put in at No. in '93 few days be- fore the raCr in place of Ralph Paine, whose supcrtiuuuS flesh was keeping the boat back. Last year LongaCrc just missed h"ing in tho varsity again by a misfor- tune that kept him out of college during the last six months of tho year.
 According t0 Bob Cook paper, the Philadelphia Press, Broadway of Sioux City, la, is without doubt the best oars man in tho boat this year He was con sidercd good enough for the varsity in his freshman year. He has always kept in ! training and iS En ideal Oi,r He has found little ur Il" trouble in following I.angford and regards the latter as having in him the makeup of a splendid stroke oar. Trcadway is a good student and has main tained a creditablc place in his classroom work. Trcadway iS also tho handsome man of the crew this year, and in this line has no close competitors, none of his fel- low Oarsmen being famed for personal charms
 Probably the next man in point of oars manShip is Beard of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, a brother of "Anse'' Beard, the football player. Beard is stocky little man and of that raro type that pulls his own weight | and that of several others. He too, is a | favorito in his class and Is regarded by the | students in general with great respect. Holcomb of New Haven and Armstrong of | Hampton, Va, are men of the same stocky muscular and powerful type as Beard, and I in point of stature form a striking contrast to the remaining five six footers of the eight Holcomb is built up from the l ground much on the same plan as an Eng | fish draft horse. His calves arc maryels of ! development and would make Sandow' s | eyes turn green with envy. Armstrong is | the most thoroughly and beautifully de- | velopcd man in Yale today and has often been styled the "Sandow of Yale.''
 l Longacre of Philadelphia is of that tall, | muscular type of men of which "Josh'' I Hartwell is a familiar Yale representative. | LOngacrc, however, lacks Hartwell's fire I and dash and is inclined to be loggy and
 
 ever, is in his favor and his great strength and endurance make him capable of un- ] limited work of the hardest kind. Dater of Brooklyn and Cross of New York arc both big, lusty good natured fellows whose worst feature as oarsmcn has been their rapid growth, that has almost rendered I them too big to get into an ordinary shell.
 Langford of St Paul Is an exceptionally big man for a Yale stroke, both in point of height and weight. He has the spirit, however, and it is easier for the big men in the waist of the boat to follow big man at stroke than it was to follow Cap tain Armstrong when he was rowing there. Langford is only l9 years of age and his eagerness has been causing him tC overtrain frequently. Clark, the little i coxswain, is a New Orleans boy.
 The eight young men just lack one-thirt of an inch of averaging feet each 1T height. This is remarkably tall for oars men and is the tallest crew that Yale hal ever had, with a single exception-name lK the crew of '79. That averaged 5 fee
