LONDON, June 1.-THE St. James Ga
zette, in the course of long article on the
Cornell crew, now training near Henley,
written by an expert oarsman, commends
the crew. The writer says that their style
is very uniform, far more so than is usu-
ally seen in England. He adds that the
Cornell men feather clean and have
good lively recovery, in which they set an
example to many English crews. They do
not attempt to row secretly or TO suppress
inspection of their boat. They appear to
be thorough sportsmen, try to do their
best and have already created favorable
impression at Henley. III conclusion, the
writer in the st. James Gazette says that
the weak feature of the Cornell crew is
their want of reach.
