BETWEEN twenty and thirty Freshmen have come forward as candidates for their class crew, and it is probable that before spring six excellent men will be found among this number. The candidates run a half-mile three times a week, and pull a hundred strokes at the weights; both the running distance and the number of strokes will soon be increased, The class has subscribed about $400 to meet the expenses of their crew, and as the most rigid economy is necessary in spending this money, it would be well for the treasurer of the class boat-club to publish...

...interested in the success of the club system. In both the four and six oared races the time of the winning boat was an improvement on the time made a year ago. Under the club system three races, each two miles in length, have been rowed by four-oared crews, and the time made in each race has been better than that of the preceding one. Thus the time of the winning four-oared crew in the fall of '74 was 16 min. 36 3/4 sec., in the spring of '75, 14 min. 59 1/2 sec., and this fall...
...oared crews under the new regime have rowed two races of two miles and one of three miles. Comparing the time made in the first and last race we find a difference of only three seconds; the winning crew last fall making the distance in 13 min. 34 1/2 sec., and this fall in 13 min. 31 1/2 sec.

Time in a race is purely relative...
...subscription list for the University Crew has been circulated lately among all the classes, and the subscriptions of the three upper classes have been liberal, while the Freshmen have given but little and that with very bad grace. A year ago the new system of assessing each class a certain percentage of the amount necessary for the crew was instituted, and was acknowledged by every one to be a very just and equitable way of raising the money required. Each class now in passing through College supports one crew. The Freshmen are assessed thirty-five per cent of the whole...
