Statistics compiled yesterday by the CRIMSON show that there are 345 candidates for the four major spring sports of the University, as compared with 306 and 200 candidates at Yale and Princeton respectively. Of this number, crew, with 177 oarsmen, attracts over half, baseball is second with 71, track third with 67, and football last with 30. Crew likewise leads at Princeton, where 107 men are rowing, and track and baseball second and third with 47 and 36 respectively. At Yale, baseball is in the lead with 135 candidates, followed by track with 96, and crew with only 75. Neither...

Including Freshmen, there are 513 candidates for crew, football, track, and baseball. The last registration figures of the College show an enrollment of 2016 men, of whom 288 are unclassified, and consequently ineligible to represent the University in outside contests.

Strength tests of men now in the College fail to show any undergraduate with a record equalling the five high records of 1915 and 1916. The strongest man as shown by Dr. Sargent's tests is J. F. Linder '19, of the University crew, who totals 1164 points, followed by J. A. MacDonnell '21, captain of the wrestling team with a score of 1078.6. The leading Freshmen are R. E. Wheeler and R. S. Whitney with 1070.3 and 1033.1 points respectively. The highest total ever scored is 1598.8 points by G. A. Davis '16 in 1915. As yet only three...
...sports on the all-importance of a winning University team. Not enough attention was paid, perhaps, to the athletic welfare of the willing candidates who were rejected as not quite "Varsity material." This condition in so far as it existed has been largely remedied, as the figures published today show...
...Freshman crew has suffered many changes during the week. They do not show any pace and seem to be altogether too short at present, but their time is good, and they keep their boat well up on its keel...
