There was an unusually large number of candidates for the crew this year. From twenty-five to thirty men began work in the gymnasium after Thanks-giving. Most of these men kept up their training until March 25th, when the crew went on the water. It then became necessary to reduce the candidates to ten men. Throughout the year the crew has been carefully coached by the members of the Graduate Committee. The crew is now made up as follows:-

Position. Weight.

Stroke-Alexander, L. S., 153 1bs.

7-Finlay, '91, 192 1bs.

6-Schroll, L. S., 163 1bs.

5-Davis, '89, 169 1bs.

4-Tilton, '90, 180 1bs.

3-Trafford, '89, 168, 1bs.

2-Markoe, '89, 178 1bs.

Bow-Storrow. '89, 148 1bs.

Coxswain-Whitney, '89, 98 1bs.

Substitutes-Carpenter, '88, 162 1bs.; Gorham, L. S., 155 1bs.

Storrow, Schroll and Davis rowed in last year's 'Varsity crew. Alexander was stroke of the '87 class crew. Markoe and Tilton rowed in their class boats last year. Trafford has never rowed a race. Finlay is a new man, but rowed in the class races this year. Whitney, the coxswain, has steered his class boat for three years. Carpenter and Gorham have both rowed in their class crews.

The following are some of the individual faults of the crew:-

Stroke. Apt to settle at the finish; doesn't carry through all that he catches.
