...prospects at Yale and Princeton for successful seasons in the three major sports--crew, baseball and track--while not as bright as in former years, are by no means discouraging in view of the conditions imposed by the war at the two universities. Rowing prospects seem the best of the three, and in this sport the University will probably find Yale its strongest opponent...
...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. Every candidate, accordingly, who has reported for practice will be retained throughout the season, and a strong plea will be made for new men to come out.

...track outlook at Princeton seems brighter than at Yale. There are more experienced men available for track than there are for any other major sport, and in the events where Princeton has lost its best men there are promising candidates from last year's Freshman team.

Raymond, in the mile, Erdman, in the hurdles, and Sinclair, in the shot-put, are other men who have run on former Princeton track teams. The Tigers...
...candidates for the University wrestling honors are under the charge of Coach Anderson, who also has the training of the 1921 wrestling team.

Two men will be selected at that time to compete in each weight for the University title...

Men who wish instruction in either branch of the sport in preparation for the tournament may sign up at the H. A. A. or Randolph Gymnasium, or report directly to the instructors. Coaches Anderson and Foley of the wrestling and boxing teams, respectively, may be found in the old Randolph squash courts, now the Randolph Gymnasium, every afternoon, while Henry Allen, the boxing instructor...
