Since the arrival of the squad at Ithaca on Thursday the University crew has been rowing twice a day, for the most part taking very light work. The crew has been together now for over three months, and although the weather conditions have been unusually poor this spring, the crew has developed into an 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...
This year the Cornell crews have been very seriously handicapped by poor weather. Although they had their first work on the inlet on February 22, the crews were only able to get out about twice a week during the whole month of March. In the course of practice during this month Coach Courtney found that he did not have enough good men to make up two satisfactory university crews, and on March 15 he took Kelley and Weed out of the University boat and placed them in the junior university crew at No. 3 and stroke respectively. This junior crew...
Before the next issue of the CRIMSON, three athletic contests will be held with Cornell at Ithaca. Today the baseball team plays the first of its two annual games with Cornell, and on Monday the University and Freshman crews race on Lake Cayuga. The chief interest centres in the contest between the two University crews, always a splendid race, well fought out from start to finish.

Immediately after the University race with Cornell on Monday, the Freshman crew will race the Cornell freshmen over the same two-mile course. This will be the first outside contest of the year for either crew...
Last Tuesday the Freshman crew was changed back to the order in which it has rowed since April 3, with the exception of one or two days, and Faxon was put in as coxswain. Although the crew won the class races on May 14 with comparative ease, its showing was rather disappointing to Coach Wray. But since then the crew has improved greatly and all the men have shown much more life. Newton, at stroke, rows leng and steadily, but the work of the whole crew has been very erratic when the stroke was varied from high to low. However...
