Sub. G. F. Warren, '88.

The freshmen, too, have a good eight, and are rowing well. They are much heavier than any other Columbia freshman crew ever sent to New London. The crew average as much as the 'varsity in weight, and number five is the heaviest oarsman in Columbia; - or in any other college for that matter. A few weeks ago they raced the University of Pennsylvania crew at New York, and only came in three or four feet behind in a mile race. Many ascribe their defeat to the poor boat in which they rowed. Their new boat arrived only a short time ago, but the crew have been out in it several times and express themselves as very well satisfied. The crew are seated in the following manner:

Stroke. E. Klapp, 170

6. E. J. Sullivan. 175 1-2

5. D. L. K. Dresser, 196
