Too Much Strawberry shortcaIe.
An entertaining correspondent declares
1t to be an open secret that Coach Court
ney's intention all along was to take two
Cornell varsity crews to Poughkeepsie this
year, instead Of one. Now his plans are
suddenly changed, and he has left only
ten candidates, eight Of whom are very
| young, only two being old varsity men. A
number Of tho old crew men on whom
Courtney had relied the most have not
been training faithfully. When the row
ing season began, the old varsity crew, Of
| course, did not row az well as the An
napolis crew, but 1t was not expected they
would, as old crew men are invariably
slow In getting into form. After few
weeks they improved immensely and
made as fast time as at tho samo period
last year, and the "old man" was confident
that the men were getting into form.
Then camo q change. Every weeks train
ing showed O change for the worse, and
the varsity boat lost speed at rate of 20
seconds per week, while the Annapolis
crew gained In speed. Tho daily races on
the lake continued to illustrate the dc.
plorable condition of the varsity men.
Then the freshman crew beat them In
trials, and the humiliation was made corn.
plete when the second freshman crew de-
feated the old men. Courtney discovered
that one of the principal weaknesses o
these men was strawberry shortcake, and
J that they gormandized on this, probsb,;
one OF the worst things man In training
. can eat
