The Princeton foot ball eleven has decided to row this spring, to get themselves into trim for foot ball practice next fall. Their boat was purchased from the Dauntless Boat Club, of New York, at a cost of $275. It is made of cedar and thirty-five feet long, by four wide and a foot and a half deep. There are positions for six oarsmen, with sliding seats, and it is rowed from the gunwale. The boat is in excellent condition, though very heavy, weighing about 500 pounds. The old boat house is to be refitted for the use of the men. No effort will be made to bring the men into regular rowing form, the object simply being to give them regular exercise, and develop them for next year's foot ball season. Work will begin immediately after the Easter holidays; the time for practice will probably be from one to three each afternoon.
