THE Yale crew hope to beat Harvard next year by a new stroke, which is pronounced by some who have seen it to be the first practical stroke Yale has ever adopted. The old hang at the end of the stroke is abolished, and several crooked little points are also done away with. In the new stroke, the reach is shorter than heretofore, to insure a strong and steady grip of the water, and to save the additional exertion formerly used in putting the blade back. In feathering, the blade will be horizontal instead of at an angle of forty-five degrees. As soon as the blade is far enough back, the head is thrown back, and the catch is immediate and strong. Instead of continuing the slide to a definite number of inches, the whole is used, thus giving the legs sufficient opportunity to do their work. When the men are ready to receive the word "go," the seat is well under the body, the back and arms inclined forward, and the head in position to throw back, the moment the word for the start is heard. The whole stroke is what is known among sailors as a "fore and aft" swing.

ATTENTION is called to the advertisement of Dr. Tourjee's Conservatory of Music on page vii. This establishment is well adapted to meet the musical wants of Harvard men.
