* On last year's crew.
- Substitute on last year's crew.
Of the above-named candidates, five pulled on last year's crew. Of these the Tribune says: "They have pulled long enough to be able to handle an oar in a scientific manner, and no one doubts that they do so. Their experience in previous races will stand them well in hand, and if they pull as lusty an oar as they did last year Yale need have little fear."
The following description of the training employed at Yale will be of interest:
"At 10 o'clock in the morning the men take the long run in the outskirts of the town. After the run, which is about two miles in length, they have been, through the winter, working in the gymnasium, but will now go to the boat house to row on the water. In the gymnasium their exercise was taken on rowing-machines, where they were coached by older oarsmen. Boxing and other light athletic exercise occupied another hour. The men finish their day's work at 7.30. Ex-Captain Rogers, of last year's crew, has been in New Haven two weeks and coached them. Fred. Wood, '76, S., who has so successfully done Yale's coaching for several years, will again fill that position. He will begin his duties the last part of the present term.
