Captain Stevenson will coach the crew, and a more earnest coach Yale has not had for many a day. It is believed that "Bob" Cook will look after their training, and ex-Captain John Rogers will also render valuable assistance. There is much valuable material this year in the freshman class, and in the recent rushes they showed that there was plenty of grit and muscle. The members do not propose to take a "back seat" if they can help it. Many of them already give promise of being exceptionally good oarsmen, and they are willing to work. They have...
...proposition of "Bob" Cook that Yale, who is now at the top of the heap in boating matters, should go over to England this coming summer and row the winner in the Oxford-Cambridge race, might, if it was followed up earnestly, result advantageously to college boating in England and the United States. Any half-way attempt as, in case of our defeat, the sending of Yale across the Atlantic to row for this one season without any prospect of a renewal of the contest in after years, whould probably be profitless. But if an agreement between Yale and Harvard...
...suggestion made by "Bob" Cook through the medium of the press about a week ago, that the Yale eight sail across the briny deep and do battle with the winner of the great Oxford Cambridge boat race, has aroused in tense interest and enthusiasm among the Yale students and alumni, and has been favorably received all over the country.

If rowing interests and successes were left to become the burden for one man, the 'Varsity captain, to carry, how long would this earnestness...
...year, were by far the most powerful men in it last year. Their loss has not been made good. Again, sickness has interfered with the crew's work since April, and even now Middlebrook is just getting over a boil. The men are rowing exactly the same stroke that Bob Cook taught them last year. Caldwell made that a condition of his stroking the crew again this year, and it was agreed to. But the men have not caught the stroke as well by any means as they did last year, though of late there has been a rather marked...
