...practice which has recently been resumed by the crews is the first that they have done since ice prevented outdoor work on the inlet early in December. In years past practice has been taken up indoors as soon as the weather put a stop to work on the inlet in the fall, but this year the coaches decided to try the innovation of giving the men a thorough rest for a month instead...
...this time last year, the university men were organized into regular combinations which had been carried through from the fall practice on the inlet, but the number of men who failed to pass their examinations completely disorganized the eights. As a result the entire squad had to be reorganized in February and new combinations worked up. With the plan being tried this year the men will be fresher and will be more easily arranged in final combinations when the mid-years are over...

The ice in the Cayuga inlet had to be dynamited to allow the crews enough room for good practice. Four of the men in the first boat rowed against Harvard last year, while three were members of the 1916 Freshman eight...
...Today's work for all the crews was the hardest since the arrival of the squads.

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...
