fore the ice on the inlet has gone out and
the Cornell oarsmen are able to take their
paper shells from the boat house. Cornell
also labors under the disadvantage Of not hav-
ing rowing tank and has to rely on the
use of rowing machines. This, however, is
not regarded by Courtney as altogether un-
desirable. The mechanical devices used make
the motion very similar to that employed in
q boat. while the instructor can give much
more minute attention to the correction OF
individual faults. and can constantly change
the adjustment Of the oars.
As regards diet and habits, the hard train
ing Of the candidates does not begin at once.
The men are expected to be regular and
punctual in their appearance at the gymna-
SUM. They are told to keep good hours, and
are advised to be careful about what they
eat, giving pie q wide berth and refraining
from the unlimited use of water in the Quench-
ing Of thirst They are also expected to swear
of as regards the use Of tobacco and alco-
holic liquors.
The severe and ascetic training begins after
they go to the training table. After the crews
have been on the water for time-the time
depends somewhat on the state Of the navy's
fnances-the men are summoned to the train
ing table, and here they meet morning, noon
and night until the race.
The training table is nothing more nor
less than boarding club, where the crew
managers are able to provide exactly what
they think right to be eaten by the men,
and where the men are brought into con-
slant touch and association that does much
to give them confidence in one another, q
thing which counts for much in a race. The
diet Is simple and plain; there is no elaborate
menu, but everything is in abundance and
properly cooked, a fact which makes the
training table a welcome change from the
average college boarding house.
At O'Clock the men have breakfast, a
meal Of which oatmeal is a a staple, followed
by chops, beefsteak or omelet. The one
O'Clock lunch Is rather more hearty than the
usual boarding house lunch, for the men

Tne expense OF the training table is borne
partly by the men and partly by, the manage
much per week as he has been in the habit of
paying at his previous boarding place, and
the difference Is made up out Of the crew
fund. The cost OF the training table boa ri
is about Sc a week per man, whereas the
price at the average boarding house ranges
from SO to $3.50 T.,
AS to their university work, the crew train
ing affects different men differently. Some
men find that ingtead Of interfering in the
slightest with their study 1t Is a positive
AID, and claim that with the good hours, plain
rare and hard exercise they can accomplish
much more work and think more clearly
Quite a few, however find that the course
OF training during the spring term does seri-
ously hinder their work. y.
Ih1S, however, is not due to the time de-
voted to 1t. for the average man in college
will waste as much time daily as is devoted
10 crew practice but 1t Is due to the fact
that the large amount of exercise in the open
air and hearty diet make man sleepy and in
capable OF hard brain work IN the evening
one will-known Cornell athlete, with whom
tn1s was the case, used to go to bed imme-
diately after dinner, arising at three OF four
o'clock in the morning to begin work on his
lessons.
The physical effect Of the training has been
found most beneficial, apart from the spe-
clal development for use in the races. Men
who train for the freshman crew weigh from
las to 165 pounds. During the summer fol-
lowing the race they gain considerably in
ayoirdupois, and their return in the fall
average ten to fifteen pounds heavier per
man They are carefully watched over by
Courtney while they are in training, and few
men have keener eye to detect man 8
physical condition and tell him when he is
training "a bit fine" than the veteran oars
man. IN case a man shows signs of over
training he is at once given a holiday for a
few days and allowed an occasional glass of
ale. Only once since Court has had
charge OF Cornell oarsmen has there been q
crew overtrained, and that was the Henley
crew. In this case the crew was obliged to
undergo severe change of climate, and
Courtney was greatly hampered.
Cornell students are looking forward to the
race with Yale and Harvard with intense in
terest, and 1t is probable that large part of
them will witness It. Not since 1876 has a

meeting Yale, despite all endeavors Cor

took part in the large intercollegiate regatta

That year the race was won by Yale and

Already the three universities whose
crews are to compete in the great race
on the Hudson river in June are in
training. The preliminary work Of Sc
lecting the possible oarsmen from the
great number of applicants has been
completed, and each university now
has at it's tables those men from whom
it is definitely certain the final crew
will be chosen. The course of training
is a hard one, says the New York
Herald.
It is also expensive, and not the least
of the expenses is due to the enormous
appetites developed by these young
gentlemen who aspire to the hard
earned honor of pulling oars for the
glory of their universities. Below will
be found some interesting details of
the training of the three university
crews.
