 Arrangements are being made by the Yale crew management for the regular spring practice for both the Varsity and freshman crews. Captain Tread way of the Varsity expects to have can didates for both crews at their first pre- liminary work of the season tomorrow afternoon. The work at the start Will of course be only light, and the men will ak first and in fact until warm weather practice in the gymnasium tanks The men tomorrow after a short practice in the tanks will be given a run of three or four miles and Will be coached by Captain TreadWay TOT the present. Later other coaches Will be with the crews in addition to the Varsity captain. Josh HartWeil IS ex- pected about February 1, and Ives and Dr. Bolton soon after. Of. last years crew there are this year in college be- sides Captain Treadway, Langford, Longacre, Cross and Beard, all seniors, while of the last years substitutes there are Miller Sutphin and Bailey, all juniors, and fairly promising men. The prospects for the Varsity crew are not pal lticularly, encouraging for the pres ent as at the fall practice no good material was developed in the fresh- mn crew, where it was hoped that this year there would be some promis- i,,,, "a .,o,, fai Mir HW1V is, however, hustler, and one of the best men ever on Varsity crew, so those interested in Yale's welfare on the water may rest assured that he will get everything possible out of the material he has.
 A new pair oar has recently been made for the crew by John Keast of this city, and later in the season there will probably be a new shell, but noth- ing definite as to this has yet been de- cided upon.
 It is stated that the Harvard crew will this year change it's stroke, and the new stroke will be more powerful leg drive. less body swing and less of a jump at the water on the catch Mir. Watson, the coach, will also try to get much longer and smoother stroke than heretofore with more power all the way through. That there will be a quadrangular race this year is now about assured, as Harvard and Cor nell have made an agreement, and as Cornell wishes to row Columbia and Pennsylvania, Harvard will probably joint them The opinion now seems to be that the race will be at Poughkeepsie on the Hudson. There has been some talk at Harvard of making an intercol- legiate contest which would admit Yale, but that idea has been given up, al- though Harvard's athletic policy would admit her to that, as to the Mott Ha- ven games
