...which it is expected a large number of men will take part, especially in the first few events, will be about as follows: Horizontal bar work, parallel bars, tumbling and leaping. During the tumbling various specialties will be introduced. A class in heavy dumbbells will bring out the heavier athletes of the university. After this there will be some pyramid making and then will come, the floor having been cleared by this time, the exhibition of the different organizations. The champion Mott Haven team will show its system of winter training by an exhibition of jumps hitch and kick, putting...
...great feature of the game was the rush line work of the two teams, being clever, powerful and effective. '87 had the heavier rush line, and on the whole it broke through better; but this was more than counterbalanced by the superior running powers of some of the '86 men, and also by the fact that after the first fifteen minutes '86 played Rankin in the rush line, and dispensing with a full-back, thus gained one man over the juniors. The rush-line work was a good deal sharper and better than that of the Yale team when they...
...tried for the first time the new shell which Waters has just finished. It is built on the same model as the new '85 boat, and it rides the crew well. It sets a trifle too high out of the water, since it was built to hold a slightly heavier crew; with the present crew it is rather better suited for rough than smooth water. The new shell, the '77 cedar boat, and probably the '83 boat will be taken to New London; but it has hot been decided which will be used...
...well adapted to the crew. It must be remembered, however, that Yale has a heavy and powerful crew, and that it is precisely the same as their '84 crew; and the stroke which they use is the same as last year's. The Columbia crew averages slightly heavier than ours; it has four old 'varsity oars, and three men of last year's victorious freshman crew. The stroke which Columbia rows is long and steady, with a sharp, quick recover. Their crew has been at New London since June 8, and has rowed over a four mile course twice daily...
...being given as much as they want of plain, substantial food. The stroke rowed by the Columbias is long and steady, with a sharp, wuick recovery, which will send their boat through the water at a high rate of speed. The average weight is fully eight pounds heavier last year's crew...
