Cald well, for the past two years the stroke of the crew, has flatly refused to handle an oar this year; but the chances of his rowing are thought by those who ought to know to be more than even. The great stroke made the same statement last year, but changed his mind at the last moment, and though he had comparatively little training in comparison with the rest of the men, he showed no lack of form in the race and pulled a beautiful stroke.

He is, however, of the opinion that there are too many of them, and thinks that Yale should be our only opponent, and that our games with Princeton and Columbia should be given up. President Eliot would, also, if he had the power, abolish...
