The Columbia crew candidates for both 

 the 'vars'ity and freshmen eights are train- 

 ing regularly every day. Up to the first of 

 March the Hudson and the Harlem were 

 too full of ice to permit any regular row- 

 ing. While the crews did get out for a 

 spin now and then, most of the work has 

 had to be done on the machines. The 

 'varsity squad now numbers about 12 men, 

 while 2 full freshmen crews are rowing 

 daily. In addition to training the regular 

 'varsity eight, Coach Peet is busy with the 

 candidates for the crew which will row in 

 May against Annapolis and against the 

 eights entered in the Harlem Regatta. 



There is no doubt that Columbia will 

 have this year a crew that is fully the equal 

 of her '95 eight. Almost all of the candi- 

 dates are veteran oarsmen, and are a strong, 

 husky lot of men. Coach Peet is well 

 pleased with the progress that has been 

 made, and the men are rapidly acquiring 

 that form and finish for which Doctor 

 Peet's crews are noted. 



Coach Ward says that never in the his- 

 tory of rowing at Pennsylvania have the 

 chances for a winning crew been so good. 

 The men are showing fine form, and the 

 interest taken in rowing is greater than at 

 any time in the past few years. The crews 

 have only been able to take a few practice 

 spins on the river, up to the present time, 

 but it is hoped from now on the conditions 

 will be such as to allow daily work on the 

 water without any interruption. Taken al- 

 together the chances of a winning eight 

 seem to be excellent, and all Pennsylvanians 

 are hoping they may be as fortunate at 

 Poughkeepsie as they were at Saratoga. 



GOSSIP OF THE TRACK. 

 The outlook for a strong track team at 

 Cornell this year is exceptionally good. 

 All of last year's team are back at college 

 with the single exception of Powell, who 

 will be greatly missed. Warner, however, 

 has shown great improvement in his jump- 

 ing, and he may be able to improve on his 

 5 feet 8 inches this year. Outside of the 

 sprints and shot puts there is no event that 

 will not have good men trying for it, and 

 it is highly probable that some strong men 

 can be developed for the events mentioned 

 from the new material in the Freshman 

 class. Of the old men there will be Hast- 

 ings and Vreeland in the quarter, both of 

 whom are able to run under 53 seconds; 

 Walter and Clark in the low hurdles, and 

 Yale, Ripley and Alexander in the high 

 hurdles, all of whom can go pretty close to 

 the record. Ripley holds the college record, 

 with a jump of 21 feet 9 inches, while in the 

 long distance runs Barrett, Sweat, Tuttle 

 and Yeatman should improve over last year 

 and make the competition for the team in 

 these events very keen. Kinsey, Young,
