Lynam, M. S., who rowed stroke on the Bowdoin crew is trying, and until lately came out three times a week and generally rowed 6 on the first crew. He has the reputation of being a good man.

The crew of course is by no means definitely made up and changes will undoubtedly be made from time to time. It will be seen, however, that the crew as it is now made up contains three absolutely green men-two freshmen and a sophomore who never did any rowing. If the men knew how to row they ought to make a boat go pretty fast for they are all tried men in one kind of athletics or another and average something like 173 or 174 pounds per man. There is, however, no sport in which strength and bad form will make less of a show than in rowing.

The training now consists of rowing several hundred strokes a day in the rowing room with fixed seats and running up North Avenue. The crew will probably go over and try the tank pretty soon. The work is not especially hard but the men are going at it in the right spirit. One man made the remark that the candidates are showing more interest in the work than they did last year.
