A Criticism of Yale's Crew.

Within the past few days the Yale crew has been very severely criticised by Mr. "Bob" Cook, the trainer, but as this is an annual occurrance, it does not carry much weight with it in forming an opinion of the crew. He says in brief that the watermanship is good and in advance of former years, but the stroke is very short and far from the long sweeping swing that has brought victory to Yale for the past few years. The men do not keep time, and they manage their slides poorly. They have fallen into the habit so fatal to success, of coming up hard at the end of the stroke, the result being that the boat stops between strokes, instead of gliding along evenly and smoothly as it should. Captain Cook not will begin to coach the crew regularly until after June 10, but from that time until after the Harvard race he will be with them constantly. Early in May, Captain Rogers, '87, will take charge of the crew and look after them until the arrival of Captain Cook. Nothing is definitely settled yet in regard to the proposed race between Yale and Cambridge, England. Yale has written to Captain Mullbury of the Cambridge crew but has received no answer.
