IN spite of changes and the loss of their captain, the University crew is in a very favorable condition. Their endurance is wonderful, and a little more practice in small things, such as starting, will bring them into excellent form. The six to row at Springfield will probably consist of Bancroft, stroke; Bolan, 2; James, 3; Jacobs, 4; Thayer, 5; Morgan, bow. Immediately after the Springfield race these men will go to Saratoga and row in a six. The Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. have decided to try a paper boat in the Saratoga race, and an effort will be made to obtain subscriptions from graduates to pay for it. So much has been done by the undergraduates towards meeting the expenses of the crew this year, that it is earnestly hoped that the graduates will see the necessity of lending us some aid. In case it should not be found possible to raise the requisite amount for the purchase of a paper boat, the shell of last year will have to be used. We thoroughly believe, however, that the graduates will do their utmost to prevent us from being reduced to this discouraging necessity.
