Y., was, without doubt, in all respects the most successful athletic meeting ever held in this country.

...rate. If Caldwell, the famous stroke, who is now in the Yale Theological School, can be induced to take his old position, there is little doubt that Yale will send to New London a crew which will compare favorably with last year's crew, which was considered the best ever representing any college. The makeup of the crew will probably be: No. 1, to be filled; No. 2, Gill, '89; No. 3, Brewster, '91; No. 4, Hartwell, '89; No. 5, Woodruff, '89 (captain), No. 6, Corbin, '89; No. 7, Carter, '87; stroke, Caldwell, '87. There are many strong candidates...
