...with their weights are as follows: First boat-1. Haskell, '92, 164 pounds; and Shank, G. L. S., 120; 2. Ryle, '92, 166; 3 Aiken, '91, 165; and Kidd, '92, 1581/2; 4. Tilson, '91, 1781/2; 5. Klimpke, '92, 162 1-4; 6. Thompson, '92, 1661/2; 7. Crosby, '92, 1771/2; stroke, Swayne, '92, 153. Second boat-1. Rogers, '90 S., 1601/2 pounds; 2. Balliet, '92, 164; 3. Harrison, '90, 158; 4. Jones, '91 S., 164; 5. Heffelfinger, '91, S., 194; 6. Ely, '91, 1661/2; 7. Allen, '90 S., (capt.) 168; stroke, Simms, '90 S., 163. The men were coached by Hartwell...
...Tilton '90, Hutchison '90, and Finlay '91 who all rowed in the crew last year, but for various reasons are not rowing just at present. Although the river is open the crew is at work in the gymnasium on account of the influenza. They simply row a few strokes on the machine every day and afterwards take a long run. There is some danger that it will be hard to get a boat to suit the crew; for a great deal of the weight will be toward the stern. There seems to be no good stroke at hand except Goddard...
...Columbia 'varsity and freshman crews have begun active training. All of the men who sat in last year's varsity boat except Pelton and Knapp are back in college. Norrie, who stroked the victorious freshman crew in '88, will probably stroke the crew. Especial efforts will be made to turn out a good crew, as the race with Cornell next June is certain to be a hard...
...tank is being pushed rapidly, the heating apparatus being the only cause for delay. Keyes, '87, is coaching the crews, and will probably continue to do so throughout the year. An indefinite list of the candidates and the positions in which they have been rowing follows: Goddard, stroke; Hutchinson, Jones-7; Long-worth, Watriss-6; Finlay, Perkins-5; Upham-4; Perkins, Jones, Nelson-Watriss, Lothrop-2; Herrick, Jones, Nelson-bow. Hutchinson who is ill will not row again for several weeks...
...Cornell crew which did such good work last year, Dole, the stroke, Marston, Hagerman, Thayer, Colnon, Benedict, Tobey, and coxswain Everick are all in the university. The substitutes, Healey and Barker, are also back. It is doubtful whether Dole will stroke the crew this year; if he does not, Upton, this year's football captain, will probably row stroke. The competition for places in the boat promises to be very sharp, and probably not more than five of the old men will retain their places...
