Yale and Cornell won't meet on the

best for college aquatics if the Ithacans

was settled, for there has already been
too much talk over the proposed race.
Trainer Courtney, speaking of this

"Somc fair men are on hand, but there
is a greater number OF lighter and in
efficient candidates than L year ago"
r. G. Storrow. 80, captain of the sc
Harvard crew, has been appointed head
coach Of the freshmen crew. and
took charge for the first time today The
candidates have been divided into five
squads, instead OF thirteen, as before. as
the number is considerably reduced.
Each squad is under the general charge
OF a varsity crew member, and is put
through daily course OF row ing and
running.
[. of ,. rowing matters are very un-
settled. The men are without a captain,
and the squad OF candidates contains
only threc OF last year, S crew.
At a meeting OF the University of
Pennsylvania crew, held last night,
