The head coach of the Yale crew this year will be Dr. Edson F. Gallaudet, who directed the coaching last year. Alfred Cowles of Chicago will probably again be chosen as assistant coach.
The outlook for a strong crew is excellent, since five of last year's eight are still in college and eligible to row. They are: Stroke, Williams; 7, Niedecken; 6, Captain Allen; 5, Brown; 2, Wickes. If Brown declines to row, four places will be left vacant. The men who rowed on last year's university four are all in college. Walton, who has been coxswain for three years, has graduated, and, as the coxswains of the freshman crew and of the four have both grown too heavy, this place will be vacant.
The outlook for a good freshman crew is unpromising since only twenty men have answered the fall call for candidates.
It is rumored that Yale will follow Harvard's example and build a new boat house.
