...work is very light, and will not occupy more than three-quarters of an hour each day. The candidates began yesterday with practice on ground balls, starting and sliding to bases in the Carey building. This was followed by a short run on North Avenue, and by the ordinary dumb-bell exercises at the Gymnasium. Among the men at work yesterday there were six or eight Ninety-four men. Trafford, Frothingham, Alward, Soule and Captain Dean represented the old players. The men will continue to meet at four o'clock each...
...consists of sitting half an hour on the seats in the rowing room and swinging back and forth with their hands on their chests trying to master the elementary body motions.

There are not many heavy men among the candidates; the old crew however, was a pretty heavy set. The body work of the crews has been fair but when they took the oars yesterday...
...river. Four crews turned out, made up nearly entirely of crew candidates. Since then enough men to form three crews have been training regularly in the gymnasium. S. D. Parker '91, has been coaching them. Each crew practices about half an hour on the rowing weights, goes through some dumb bell exercise, and takes a run up North Avenue. The practice on the weights has consisted so far of body work with stiff arms. Lately the crew have been using the oars for a part of the practice. The men have been put through this training of two hours every...
