q Slow Steamer to Get Lon:
Spell Of Ocean Travel.

The plans for the trip Of the Yale
Varsity crew to England to compete
in the Henley regatta are completed
and the managers of the navy have
taken passage for the oarsmcn on the
steamer Berlin, which sails from New
York on June 6. The managers OF the
navy were governed in the selection or
the steamer by combination of cir
cumstances. In the first place, the
coaches We're of the opinion that good
long sea voyage would not do the oars
men any harm. The financial union
at the university. which Is to furnisn
the funds for the trip, insisted on all
possible economy, and. finally, June y
was the earliest possible date that the
faculty would consent the oarsmen TO
leave college. The slow trip will be
made pleasant. however. by the pres
ence of large number or loyal erau-
uate oarsmen, who have already sig
nified their intention of accompanying
the crew to Henley.
Among the best known oarsmen VINO
will go to England to see the race are
Louis X. Hull 80, who rowed IN the
victorious crews of 80 and 81, ana
was captain of the unfortunate eignts
of 80 and 'S3: F.. W. Rogers 'S3; j. "A.
Hartwell 80 s., who was captain OF the
'ao crew; X. ID. Paine '94. who rowed In
the 81 and ~ crews: +. A. Johnson ~
s.. captain of the "a crew: Richard
Armstrong 80 =. captain or the %
crew, and s. II. Ives ~. captain OF tne
'93 crew. This list will be undoubtedly
Increased by dozens of other old attn
letes and by good big crowd or un-
dergraduates, over 30 of whom nave
already engaged passage to England.
EXPENSE OF THE TRIP.
" has been estimated by the man
ayers of the navy that II will cost SlO,-
900 to train the crew this year ana 10
pay all the expenses of the trip to Eng
land. This is very little less in excess
of what It has cost Yale to meet Harv-
ard at New London. The navy, how
ever. Is very poor this year, owing to
the big falling off in the proceeds from
the foot ball association on account or
there being no game with Harvard. a
list has been opened in the Connecti-
cut Trust and Safe Deposit company
in Hartford Conn. for subscriptions
toward the fund to pay the expenses oil
the crew. Subscriptions have been conf
ing in rapidly. and there seems to be no
doubt that the necessary amount will
he raised in very short time.
During the past week there has been
only a single change made in the make
up of the crew. Mills has been put In
| most frequently at No. in place of a.
Brown, the shot and hammer man, who
rowed this position for several weeks.
Patterson has been rowing regularly In
| Treadway's place, at No. Z. as Captain
Treadway has had all the coaching to
do. and has not been able to do any
rowing The regular makeup of the
crew has been as follows: Stroke,
| I.angford: No. I. Patterson: No. q,
| l.ongacre: No. 5, Bailey: No. 4. Rodg-
ers: No. >, Beard No. ., Mills; bow, d.
| Rogers.
TREADWAY WILL BE CAPTAIN.
| Treadway, the captain. will, of course
take his place ut No. as soon as regu-
| lar coaches are on hand every day tO
look after the crew. With this change
and possible change at No. 9 the most
likely makeup Of the crew that will
represent Yale. at Henley Is obtained
All the positions will be decided within
the next two weeks. Arrangements
| have been made to take the pick Of the
remaining twenty-one candidates to a
training table on March % Treadway
will keep all of the Oarsmen at work
| during the Easter recess. During this
vacation time he expects to get in some
very good training and to have one oi
more of the old coaches here with the
| crew on the harbor every day.
