We learn from the News that every incentive is to be offered to rowing men in the shape of a "second eight" as well as a "university four." The former will probably represent the college in the Harlem and other less important regattas, besides furnishing material for the 'Varsity, while the four-oared crew, if such is formed, will be composed of the four regular substitutes for the university...
