...crew, Yale has three experienced men -- Captain Hyatt, Vail and Mead -- for the nucleus of an eight. Professor Mather Abbott of the faculty, who is acting as coach for the Elis, is aiming to provide sport this year for all rather than to develop a specialized highly-trained eight.

Mental training and the need of it remain the same however much the world changes. That which...
