Cornell should have another fast crew 

 this year if present appearances count for 

 anything. Coach Courtney has excellent 

 material to work with, even if the conditions 

 are not as favorable as they were a year 

 ago. Some disappointment was manifested 

 by those in charge of Cornell's aquatics 

 when only 2 men who rowed on the '98 

 crew reported for the preliminary practice. 

 Dalzell, bow, and Beardsley, 6, were the 2 

 men who answered the call for candidates, 

 though both Wakeman and Baily will prob- 

 ably be rowing before long. Briggs, Sav- 

 age, Moore, and Bentley are not in the 

 University this year. It is said that Sweet- 

 land and Holloway, 2 of the '98 substitutes, 

 will train again this season. Hanmer, of 

 the 1900 crew, and Carter, who was stroke 

 of the '97 'varsity until forced to give up 

 on account of illness, will row this year. 



Other 1900 men scheduled to come out 

 are Colt, Smallwood, Ihlder and Shire, 

 while almost all of the 1901 men will try 

 for 'varsity seats. 



Manager Gould of the Cornell Navy has 

 been in Poughkeepsie trying to arrange for 

 quarters for his crew, and conferring with 

 the officials of the Highland Rowing Asso- 

 ciation. Up to the present no definite quar- 

 ters have been decided on for Cornell. 



The following are the statistics of the 

 more prominent candidates trying for the

The candidates for the Yale crew are 

 looking forward to beating Harvard as 

 eagerly as the Harvard men are looking 

 to conquer them. Doctor Gallaudet and 

 Captain Allen are much pleased with the 

 progress made thus far, and Yale is show- 

 ing her old time vim and energy by getting 

 the men on the water at an earlier date 

 than in many years heretofore. All the 

 candidates are strong and well built, and if 

 bone and muscle count for anything Har- 

 vard will have to develop her men con- 

 siderably in order to equal the condition of 

 the Yale men, who are unquestionably 

 physically superior to the Crimson can- 

 didates. 



An innovation, so far as Yale is con- 

 cerned, will be made this year in the row- 

 ing at New Haven and New London. In the 

 past the racing squad has been cut down to 

 12 men at Easter time, but this season 2 full 

 crews will be kept in training up to the day 

 of the race. In this way there will be 2 

 men trying for each seat in the boat, and 

 every man will be continually kept on his 

 mettle. Here are some interesting facts 

 about some of the prominent candidates:
