The message Of Gov. Pingree to
the legislature, which convened
Tuesday, is an interesting document
in many respects. 1t is so worded
as to be filled with truth and warn
ings which should be needed, and at
the same time looks like a grand
stand play of demagogue. We hope
that good may come with the expense
OF the session which will tend to
equalize taxation, but undue attacks
on corporations cannot be of benefit

HARXARD'S STROkE.
Trainer O'Dea Gives His Idea of Win
ming Boat Races.

Andrew O'Dea, who has just been appoint
cd the trainer of the Harvard crew, gives
out signed statement which clears up
doubt as to the new Harvard stroke. 1t will
be the Cornell stroke, or what has been err
ronccusly termed the Courtney stroke. -
As a matter of fact as Courtney admits,
Cornell rowed her present stroke years be-
fore Courtney was engaged as a coach
ODea says that a good crew can be de-
velopcd either from q heavy set of men or
from light oarsmen. In either case the
prime thing to have is uniformity. as with
out it there cannot be harmony in the stroke
or the balance of the boat. AS a general
thing. however. he prefers a crew selected
from the heavier rowerS. as in the long run
their endurance will be better.
Regarding the proper stroke he says:
The first thing to he considered in the
stroke is the catch. i believe in the men
striking the water hard and holding it well
throughout the stroke. Others put the oar
in the water and afterward the weight is
applied and the oar is pulled suddenly
through the water. In my stroke the pres
sure is continuous until the arms strike the
chest. making a firm, free swing. 1t seems
TO me that by this method it is possible to
get more life and dash into the rowing
There should be a good swing to the
crew. but 1t should not be too long 1t is
just here that the trouble with the stroke
comes in. The idea of good swing is uni
NefsdIly admitted, but the trouble is to get
the meaning of just what the swing should
be. The main difference between the differ
cnt strokes hinges here.
Condition is at least 30 per cent of the
winning capacity of a crew and for this
reason i'll the past / have always made it
Il point to watch every man closely and try
to give him all the nourishment that suits
him best. Good. wholesome food is the first
idea that | have in mind / do not think
much Of ale as a dring for the crew men.
Athletes are in the best of condition. and
nine times out of ten it will make the ath-
lcteS head Spin.''

Mr. Hart discussed the subject as follows:
Il am in touch with the public and the
situation far more than are the players
and 1 know that the general sentiment is
that We should release both these men for
the reason that during the season of 1898
neither of them gave the club the services
he was capable of. They did not do their
best, nor did they seem to care for the
teams success.
