The rush line work and tackling of Cumnock deserve commendation, although he is careless about off-side playing. G. Harding, also, is too apt to play off-side.

Yale has the material this year for a crew which ought to equal if not be better than last year's crew. Five and perhaps six old men will row again this year.
