...possible from professionals who make oarsmanship their means of livelihood? Probably not. Certainly while rowing had a precarious existence at American colleges, and there was no large body of graduate oarsmen on whom to lean for advice and from whom to beg the arduous and ungrateful services of a "coach." it was only human that professionals should be paid to look after the stroke and diet of the crews. Professionals were at least kept out of the boat. There is no record like that of the Brasenose Oxford four in 1824, which contained two college men, a professional...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - Please allow me to criticise the execrable coaching which the freshmen received in Wednesday's game while on bases.

Thompson, a little freshman weighing less than 100 pounds, will take the seat in which...
There has been no regular coach, and consequently the crew has been coached by Capt. Alexander and Mumford...
