ROWING OUTLOOK IN COLLEGES.

In rowing, the Poughkeepsie regatta and the New London race furnish the principal events of the season, but this year the American Henley, so-called, at Philadelphia, adds a new interest to
 college boating, and 1t is hoped 1t will
 be we'll patronized and will grow to take its proper place with us as an
 encourager of that rowing talent which does not find enough outlet in the single main eight-oared races of the universities.
 The remarkable crews which Court
 ney sent to Hudson last year have
 again made rowing sharps very shy
 about predicting the defeat of any crew from Cornell. Furthermore, much
 of his material of last year, no less than five men, is still available, and 1t
 Is hard to'say how a crew could be de-
 veloped that should have much more power and pace than the Cornell uni versity of last year.
 Hanlan Of Columbia means to make a game fight of it again, and O'Dea al-
 ways sends on a creditable crew from Wisconsin. Pennsylvania, remember
 ing the time not so long ago for two successive seasons her crews won at Saratoga and Poughkeepsie, after be ing swamped in rough water for a sea-
 son or so, pins her faith to Ellis Ward and expects to be close up to the front at the finish.
 l At New London Yale and Harvard will once more row their traditional | eight-oared, four-mile race Captain
 McGrew of Harvard and Captain Wa terman of Yale are both bending their energies to turning out fast crews. The l victory of Yale last year over good Harvard crew was productive only of | further inspiration of the Crimson and McGrew is a very determined man. Harvard has concluded that there is
 one fatal weakness in her system, tl-
 though 1t has been giving so much en-
 couragement to rowing nt Cambridge
 and that is, that although the club crews have been improving aud the
 number of men and boats on the river greatly increased. 1t must be so ar-
 ranged as to get the men who are go- l ing to row in the Yale race together | into the boat earlier than was the cus- tom formerly.
 This was led up to last year, but will be more firmly followed this sea
 soll. The squad has just been picked,
 and includes several men who have
 been developed solely in the Weld and Newell club races. Out of the twenty
 men, ten are six feet tall or over. New
 talent has been introduced, three only
 of last years varsity being included,
 and one man from the four-oar, while
 at New Haven there is a tendency to
 stick to the old talent that woE last year as far as possible. The two cap-
 tains will probably be found separated from each other by the entire length of ! the shell, for Waterman will row bow
 in the Yale boat and McGrew. in spite
 of attempts to find some other stroke
 to cnahie him to go into the waist, will likely bring up in the strokes seat
 again after all.-Walter Camp ip Col
