 Coach Courtney of Cornell, the winner of many previous races and the holder of the record of IS minutes 53 1-5 sec onds, made over this course in 1901, re- gently broke up his varsity four-oared crew to strengthen the eight-oared crew, and these changes have injected an element of doubt as to the form Cornell will show. Courtney has fought his crew stroke which keeps the boat moving between strokes. It is low stroke and has slow, deceptive recovery Cornell has the heaviest crew in the race
 Many expressed the belief tonight that Coach Rice would send the Colun- bia crew over the line a winner. Co., lumbia will have the lightest crew in the race, the average being l66 pounds. Columbia has free swing stroke with clean blade work.
 Pennsylvania had much misfortune with its men early in the training stages on account of illness. but has recently shown good form.
 There are many who believe that the high stroke which carried Syracuse to victory in 1904 will return the crew winner this year. The Syracuse crew are powerfully built, and they have been carefully trained.
 The wisconsin men handle their sweep like Syracuse, and their friends say that If rough water prevails the Wisconsin crew will win.
 Coach Russell believes that George town will give a good accounting, though he does not expect to win the race. Mr. Russell said tonight that it looked as if Annapolis stood the best chanceto win.
