...near after the last day in April as the tide permits, the class races will be rowed. Each class will have at present from 10 to 20 men in training. The candidates for the senior crew have among their number some of the strongest men in college. Indeed, several of the men are remarkable examples of the beneficial results of gymnasium training. The crew will probably be fully as heavy as the '85 crew of last year. Among the old men are J. E. Thayer, capt., C. F. Gilman, and B. B. Thayer. Sutton will not row this year...
...extraordinary popularity of Rugby foot ball in the north of England was shown Dec. 13 at a match at Bradford between the two strongest clubs of Yorkshire, namely, Bradford and Wakefield Trinity.

It is found that the heaviest men are by no means the strongest. This statement however, does not mean that men of 190 lbs., fully developed and able to handle their own weight would not be more desirable for the crew than lighter men, but mere weight ought not be sufficient to insure a man's position in the boat. The tendency...
