Average, 164

Cox. L. E. Caldwell, 87

Subs. E. L. Burke, 150

Caldwell, the stroke, is a new man, although he has rowed in his class boat, which has won several races. He is rather older than the rest of the crew, and is always cool and collected.

Cowles, the captain, rowed last year in the university eight. He is the heaviest man in the boat and pulls a very strong oar.

Woodruff, No. 5, is a freshman, and never rowed before entering college Although he has not had the experience of the other men, he is doing well and improving rapidly. A few years ago he used to work in the Pennsylvania coal mines, and it is said that his strength is something wonderful.

Middlebrook, No. 3, has rowed in the '87 class boat since entering college. He has trained off a large amount of superfluous flesh, and is now in first rate condition.

John Rogers, Jr., No. 2. has until recently been acting as substitute, but the other day he took Farrington's place in the boat, and the change has proved an excellent one.

Robert Appleton, who rows bow, was a substitute last year. He is said to be an excellent single oarsman, although most of his time this year has been spent in the eight. Stevenson and Hartridge, the other two men, have rowed before in their class boats. Cadwell, the little coxswain, has grown rather heavier since last year, but is still the lightest man at Yale. He has had a great deal of experience and steers a wonderfully straight course.

To-morrow, between four and five o'clock, Yale rows the University of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania men arrived yesterday morning from New York in the steamboat "City of Worcester." Efforts were made to secure quarters at Gale's Ferry, near the other crews, but no place could be found, so that the crew were obliged to put up at the Crocker House, where they now are. The men hardly look like a university crew, and one would scarcely think them equal to a four mile race. Yesterday afternoon they took a time row over the course, followed by their coach, Ellis Ward, in the launch. They row quite smoothly, but lack life and staying power.

As things look now, Yale will probably beat the Pennsylvania men; at least that is the opinion of the Harvard and Columbia crews, who, I suppose are as good judges as any. Yale looks upon this race simply as a practice pull, to prepare them for their contest with Harvard, and have consequently asked to have the east course, which, though generally considered the worse, is the one which they will use in the race with our 'varsity.

Very little as yet is known about the Yale freshmen. They made a very good showing in the class races last May, coming in second. This it was, probably, which prompted them to a race with our freshmen and Columbia. The Yale freshmen have quarters just beside their 'varsity, and both crews will use the same boat-house. It is thought at New London that this race will be very close, the chances pointing slightly in favor of Harvard.

The following are the positions of the Yale freshman crew:
