Their Shell Arrived Yesterday After a
Delay of Two Days-NIakeup of the
Crew-A Fine Looking Lot of Fellows In
First Glass Condition-Win Probably
Give Yale Good Race.
The University Of Wisconsin crew
has finally got settled down to work of
practice at Lake Saltonstall after hav-A
ing been idle since arriving in New
Haven last Wednesday. They had ex-
pected that their new cedar shell would 1
arrive in New Haven Tuesday from
Cambridge, where it was made, and bel
ready for them to begin practice at
once after their arrival here, but the
shell did not arrive until yesterday
Coach O'Dea, who, although he is an
Australian, is hustler of the true
western type, got his men together yes
terday afternoon as soon as the boat
arrived and despite the heavy rain putt
the brawny Badgers to work at once.
The crew was on the lake about an
hour and a half yesterday afternoon.
men limbered up at 80 to 80 stroke. Tt!
will require couple of days for Them
to get used to the new shell. which was
never in the water before yesterday
except for trial Beginning to-day, Mr.
O'Dea will have his men out twice a.
day, an hour in the forenoon and the
same length Of time in the afternoon.
While out yesterday, the Wisconsin,
men showed snappy work, the noticea-i
BILE features Of their stroke being a good
firm catch and full pull through.
Coach O'Dea says that his crew this
year is not up to the form Of the lastf
years Wisconsin crew. which defeated
the Yale freshmen crew at Lake Sans
tonstall. He said yesterday that thei
Wisconsin freshmen crew has beaten
the Varsity crew in two out Of three
races had while at practice.
The makeup Of the Wisconsin crew isl
as follows:
Bow, A. F. Alexander '9s. 1854 lbs.
No. 2--L. Osborn 80, 100 lbs.
No. 3-H. r. Chamberlain '99, 1871
lbs.
No. Nv. G. Sutherland 1900, 100 lbs.
No. 5--A. r. Anderson 19O0-170 lbs.
Mo. 6-F. r. Austin, (captain), 1874
| lbs.
No. IF. H. Crosby 1900, 152 lbs. i
stroke--M. e. Seymour '9S, 1856 lbs.
] Coxswain-H. r. Crandall, LA lbs. S&
Substitutes-H. A. Lake 1900, 1874 lbs.s
| A. H. Pritzloff '99, 172 lbs.
O. T. Waite '97 is the manager.
In coaching yesterday, Mr.. O'Dea fol-
| lowed the crew on shore, but will here
after follow them in the launch Cygnet.
He has arranged for the crew a irregular
program for each day. They arise at Z
o'clock in the morning, breakfast at
| 1880, row from to 10, lunch at /, row
| from to 5, dine at 6, and retire at
1890. tN !,
| The crew boards at Mrs. Lomedau's
and are allowed by Mr.. O'Dea nothing
but plain food. He has not yet taken
up with any Of the new idea Of train-,
ing table fare, which allows other than
plain, wholesome food.
| Of the members of the crew only FOUR
are veterans. Alexander Austin, Sey-
mour and Crandall were on the last
years crew which visited New Haven,
and the remainder of the crew are newj
men. A late spring prevented them
from getting out early, and all the
| OuLQOOT pTdCllC6 IOWiuS IileLl llttS UGClI'
done by the crew has been during the
past month, although some work was
done in the tank before that. The dis
qualification of the regular stroke for
low stand by the Wisconsin faculty has
somewhat crippled the crew, but in his,
place Seymour, who rowed No. 8 last
year, is a good man and pulls a good
| oar.
| The race with the Yale varsity and
freshman crews will take place next
Saturday at Lake Saltonstall over the
regular two-mile course. A number
| Of Wisconsin alumni who live in NewI
York and about a dozen undergradu-
ates will be here to cheer their crew.
| Although Mr. O'Dea says that he is
| far from satisfied with his crew and
recounts a number of reasons to show
that it is in poor condition, it was no
ticed yesterday that the boat cut the
water at a ripping speed. The men
are a fine looking lot, and all look to
be in first-class condition. The Wis
consin boys may be placed to give Elf s.
sons a good stiff race for first place.
Their pluck in coming SO far to row al
crew said to be SO much superior, as
the Yale crew is said to be, is to be-
commended.
