The freshman crew must remember that they will in all probability have formidable opponents in the persons of the Columbia freshmen. This latter crew at an impromptu regatta held last fall defeated the crews of the upper classes, although they, '87, were totally wanting in experience. The only thing that was in their favor was that they had trained a couple of weeks, while the old oarsmen went into the race relying on their previous knowledge. This was, of course, a considerable advantage to the freshmen. Nevertheless, Columbia, '87, has been notable so far for the push and energy which they have displayed, and our crew on their side should leave nothing undone to enable them to repeat the victory won by '86 a year ago.
