Last fall when the candidates for the university crew met for the first time in Capt. Storrow's room, the outlook was not very encouraging. There were present only two men of last year's crew, while the most available men among the others were rather light in weight, and had but one year's experience in rowing. This year's crew, it was felt, would not be remarkable either for its size or strength. If anything was to be accomplished, it must be done by superior skill and activity.

Why does it say nothing about the gentlemen in the first meeting whose eactics were precisely the same as those of the gentleman alluded to, although without the same effect? Why does it not admit that there was another gentleman in the light-weight who also "slugged" to the full extent of his powers, and also possessed but very little science? The facts of the case are that the gentleman so severely criticised was pressed by Mr. Clark against his own desires, to enter the light weight sparring, because of the small number...
