Of last year's Mott Haven team some of the '88 men may compete again, and all the others are in training with the exception of Bell '91, who has trouble with his heart.

It is stated on good authority that Corbin, '89, will begin to row again next week, having yielded to the persuasion of Captain Woodruff. Corbin is the financial editor of the Yale News, and has been hard at work for the past few days so as to have his business matters in good shape before he commences to row. Gill, '89, is also rowing and, with Caldwell as stroke, the crew is practically chosen. The crew is now made up as follows...
