AS Harvard has beaten Yale three years in succession, the feeling is likely to prevail that the next race will turn the scales in Yale's favor, and it is this very point of which our crew need to be reminded. If the men are faithful and train properly there is really no reason why the same result should not be attained this year as formerly. Greater difficulties, it is true, must be overcome. The fact that Yale's crew have been on the water all the winter shows that they will leave no effort untried in order to bring victory to their side. Moreover, they have three of last year's crew, and their winter practice has put them in good form already. Hardly as much can be said of our crew. Their feathering is fair, but they do not use their legs well, being more or less unsteady, and the port is noticeably worse than the starboard. The reinforcement of Mr. Brigham caused some changes in positions which necessarily makes the whole crew a little uneven in movement at first; these are faults, however, which, under their excellent coach and with practice on the river, ought soon to disappear. All things considered, therefore, the prospects of the crew are not at all gloomy.
