Mr. Cook is amply satisfied with the material at hand and expects them to win the race next June when they shall have become fully practised in his method of rowing. Much interest and enthusiasm is shown by the men. Several of them during the Christmas recess visited Philadelphia, the home of Captain Cook, trying hard, under his personal instruction, to forget the disastrous stroke used last year. Part of the plan to overcome the old fault has been to make the crews row on stationary...
...from believing this impossible, and even consider the chances good provided only work is begun in time and in the right spirit. The material at hand in the class is undoubtedly as good as the average, if not better, and with proper coaching and plenty of enthusiasm, a good nine should be turned out in the spring.

...well as themselves; but to gain the victory the eleven will have to put forth every endeavor and the class will have to give them its strongest support. Let there be no half-hearted backing today. Let every man cheer and cheer as if he meant it. Yale enthusiasm is proverbial; '87 must see to it that there be only the heartiest support from them. Do this, and come victory or defeat, the class can feel that at least they have done all they could to make a success. The whole college feels a deep interest in the game...
