were in the squad taken, including the
regular Eight and Four, and a substitute,
the Freshman

Eight and Four, and a
four coxswains. Four
eight-oared shells, two fours, two pair-
oars and Gen. W. W. Skiddy’s naphtha
launch were carried with the crews, the
launch Yale having been sent ahead
under her own steam. Prof. A. M.
Wheeler, assisted by H. A. Farr, tutor
in German in the College, will conduct
the examinations at the Ferry.

with a bad ground swell in the last half
mile, being somewhat under 21: 40,
which is considered good. The Crew,
as rowing to-day is: Bow, Mitchell:
2, Wickes; 3, Niedecken; 4, Brock; 5,
Cross; 6, Allen; 7, Blagden; stroke,
Cameron. This make-up is not a cer-
tainty, however, as there are candidates
for the positions of bow and four who
may displace the men now rowing on
those positions.
As a general criticism of the work of
the Crew it may be said that the boat,
though having much power, is somewhat
ragged inboard and outboard, and will
need a good deal of coaching, particu-
larly on blades and slides. Dr. Gallau-
det and Capt. Allen will have entire
charge of this work at New London.
There is a feeling of confidence, among
those who have carefully watched the
work of the past few weeks, that the
sharp corners will be rounded off within
a fortnight, and that the Crew will
worthily represent the University on
the 28th.
The Yale four is: Bow, Lincoln; 2,
Auchincloss; 3, Kunzig; stroke, Wil-
liams. The Freshman squad is as fol-
lows: R. and K. Schley, Strong, Hewitt,
Trumbull, C. R. Brown, C. Auchincloss,
Bogue, Sargent, Kirtland, Goodwin,
McClintock, Bristol; Coxswains, Bond
and Lounsbury.
