The fact is that many valuable men will be kept from trying for the eleven, or, if class games are to be played, from the elevens if the new plan is put into operation. It is doubtful, too, if the short season of training thus obtained will be of any great benefit to the candidates for seats in the 'varsity boat. At any rate, the 'varsity crew of last year made their brilliant record without any aid of this nature. As rowing men know only...
