...represented for the first time by a eight, the crew in former years having been composed of but six men. The candidates for the crew have been under the charge of Courtney, the well-known oarsman, and he feels confident that Cornell will put a good crew on the water. He describes the stroke as the "get there" variety used by Hanlan, O'Conner and Teemer...
