 New York. March s5.-The sweep swingers at all the rowing colleges on earnest preliminary work, despite the buffetlngs of the March winds. Not only does the number of men sit ting in the shells exceed the records of former years, but the variety of the crews is greater than college rowing has ever seen before.
 The navy is. of course, the leading crew, both on account of their rec ord last year and the fact that Coach Glandon has practically but one place to fill. It will take a mighty good crew. better than the Californians. who came on last year and came in second at PoughlSeepsie. and one as good or better than Cornell, Syra- cuse or Pennsylvania has turned out in the past to lead this navy eight down the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. captain. and No. A. but Higgins is taking his place acceptably.
 Developing Material
 Dr. Herbert Howe, in charge of rowing at Cambridge. has made a very great feature of organization and of bringing former oarsmen back to Harvard to assist him. He Is developing Q great amount of ma terial. boated as far s physique is concerned, around their original lines. He Is evidently going to spend the early part of the season on the water in getting tests of all kinds. not only with men, but with balance and rig ging, which will give him data upon which to build. up his final varsity choice. He expects to make cuts in his large squad next week.
 Yale, on the other hand, convinced that Corderey Is a winning coach, has already located two boatloads of men fairly well balanced and fairly equal. Captain Gibson and Corderey are making shifts from one boat to the ather and trying out some of their freshman material of last year.

Spaeth has tried Cress- well, Sinclair and Morgan at stroke, but Morgan seemed to get the most out of the men behind him. The black crew has Wright at stroke and is getting good speed
 At Pennsylvania
 Coach Wright at Pennsylvania has no less than 24 crews on the Schuyl- kill and within a short while will pick three of his Yale regatta, which will be rowed April IS. His varsity at present is being stroked by Mathi- son and his junior varsity by Med holt. Wright is pretty proud of his 150-pound crew.
 Jim Rice at Columbia is working hard and is fully convinced that this year the power of his crew will not be refined out toward the end in a struggle for form and finish.
 Coach Ten Eyck at Syracuse, had at least 250 candidates to start with and these have now been weeded out somewhat His boats on Onondags lake are moving along well. In one of his senior boats he now has six of his star freshman crew of last year with Muser at stroke. The second crew has Worden setting the time Ten Eyck does not propose to pick or sort his crews until after the Eas- ter vacation.
