...amount of work necessary to fit them to represent their own class during the summer, or even to take a good position in the Club crews. Too many wait till late in the winter or till the spring to begin work in earnest, and then, as it has been often proved, it is too late to obtain sufficient endurance for the ordeal of a long race...
