Next Saturday the Yale second university crew will row against the Annapolis Naval Cadets on the Severn. The members of the Yale crew are as follows: Stroke, Williams; 7, Cross; 6, Brock; 5, Newport; 4, Kunzig; 3, Hooker; 2, Warmoth; bow, Minor; cox., Chittenden. Of these, Williams, Brock and Cross have rowed against Harvard, and all except Minor and Newport have had a place for a considerable time in the university boat. After the race at Annapolis the second crew will row against the university in the spring regatta, and it will then be reduced to a four-oared crew to row at New London against the Harvard four.
A radical change in the old Yale stroke has been made this year. The former custom of following the body swing with a leg drive has been replaced by the simultaneous action of both leg and body. The body swing and the slide have been shortened, and a sharper, more snappy stroke has resulted. The breadth of the oars has been increased in the first boat to 7 1-4 inches, and in the second boat to 6 1-2 inches from 6 inches last year. The new cedar shell made by Ruddock of New York has arrived and will be used in the Annapolis race.
