POCGHK E.EPSIE, y. Y, June b
With the arrival of the Cornell and Wis
consin crews squads yesterday morning
all of the college oarsmen who will take
part in the intercollegiate regatta June
- are on hand for the final stages of
training. Courtney. with thirty members
of the Cornell squad. reached the oaks.

several years. just after dawn.
The Badgers, however, did not finish
their long Journey from Madison, across
half the continent, until early in the aft
ernoon There are only twenty-four men
in Ned Ten Eyck's squad-just enough
for the varsity and freshman Fights and
two substitutes for each.
Courtney set his men to work unload

was better TO have a large boat on hand

would be practically useless.
Cornell Confident.
The Comedians display plenty of con-
fidence. but Courtney himself Will say
nothing regarding the merits of his crews.
When asked just what he thought the
men would do in the regatta he repheu:
That's just what / brought them down
here from Ithaca to find out. Tell you
after the race. 80,
The Ithacans are all in perfect health,
but none of them has been rowing since
last Thursday, examinations keeping them
busy in the last days OF Inc Week: rive

so that when the Cornell crews go out TO-

will take part in the race Will be on the

oarsmen get to quarters
The Wisconsin squad is one or the
best looking that Ten Eyck has ever
brought on. The men are big and husky,
and are in perfect condition, despite their
day and a half spent in travelling. Tney
were all pretty we'll pleased, just the
same, that they did not have to row yes

ing taken their boats from the baggage

large coaching launch. the Cardinal. being
convinced as a result of last years eN-
perience that a converted duckboat with
a balky engine is not the most reliable
sort of craft in which to follow the
crews.
Exams on Train.
The Badgers are here three days earlier
than ever before, and expect TO get in
some extra good practice. The expert
ment made by the Wisconsin faculty in
letting the oarsmen take their examina-
lions on the train coming east was re-
sponsible for the early arrival of the
Badgers. The scheme worked to perfec
ton. the oarsmen say, and it is highly
probable that the faculty will follow the
same custom next spring.
All was quiet in the three other rowing
camps, Pennsy and Syracuse each pass
ing their first Sunday in quarters, while
the Columbians were enjoying their sec
Ond. Every one was in excellent spirits
on the Columbia barge, for through an err
ror made in the kitchen department a
double supply of chicken was on hand for
the Sunday dinner. and Rice told the
Oarsmen to go as far as they liked
