...Cornell University crew consists of Ostrom, '76, captain and stroke; Lewis, '76, 2; Jarvis, '76, 3; either King, '77, or Smith, '78, 4; Pourto, '77, 5; Waterman, '77, bow. The crew has gone into quarters and is hard at work. Four of the men were on the winning crew of last year...

The men of four years ago thought they did much hard work when they were trying for the "'varsity," but, compared to what the candidates for positions in the boat have done this winter, their exertions seem moderate...

It is not only necessary for our success in this next race, but it will have its effect on the boating men who come up to take the places of those now on the crew...
