...exceptionally powerful and fast eight. Since the Columbia race on April 17, the order has been unchanged except for the absence of R. Cutler for one day and the temporary illness of Waid during the last few days. The men are much better together than they were a month ago and the crew has improved materially. The boat moves out well between strokes without any noticeable check, the slide work is even and smooth, and the crew as a whole shows racing power and drive. Five out of the eight men in the boat rowed against Cornell last year...
...into two four-oars. Seven men in the crew, including the coxswain, were in last year's freshman boat. Kelley, at No. 3 rowed bow in last year's university four-oar, and Weed, at stroke, rowed the same position in the gentlemen's four of two years ago. The crew rows the long, steady stroke with a slow recovery which is characteristic of Cornell crews, but the eight as yet has not shown anything above the average speed, and is far behind the University crew in racing experience and weight...
...event from a Harvard standpoint. Princeton expects Dawbarn to win from Foster, although the latter beat him in the Pennsylvania relay games early in the season. Since then Foster has constantly improved and will be at his best today and tomorrow. Sherman of Dartmouth, who took second a year ago, is not expected to compete as he strained a tendon last week. In his absence third and fourth places should lie between Minds of Pennsylvania, Hawley of Dartmouth, and Cary of Yale. Gamble of Princeton has not been in the best of condition lately and may not place, a though...
...them is likely to take fourth place away from Coney of Yale. Jaques will probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running the mile. The latter was third two years ago when the present record was established. Taylor and Young, both or Cornell, are likely to beat McGee and perhaps Paull...
...very best to beat Dwight of Princeton and Talcott of Cornell for second. The points will probably be divided among these four, unless Robbins, of Yale has improved remarkably. In the low hurdles Gardner has an excellent chance of reversing the results of two weeks ago by winning from Howe. It is not at all unlikely that the former will win. For third and fourth places the most prominent competitors are Rand of Harvard, Hartranft of Pennsylvania, and Gamble of Princeton...
