Freshman Crew.

About 40 men are out trying for the crew at present. It will be seen from the list below that the average weight is pretty low. To be sure the men are not to be selected upon the basis of weight alone; but it is very easy to see that a man who weighs 170 pounds is vastly better than one who weighs 140 pounds, if he is as good proportionally every other way. It is not expected that a crew of 170 pound men can be selected, but it ought to be expected of a class so large as this that it could get a crew that would average more than 150 pounds, as is the present outlook. Several of the men who weigh well do not show much ability to row well. They are slow and very awkward - some of them, and must give their places to lighter and better men, unless they show greater improvement. Some of the men are doing very well, and show that we shall have a good light crew if obliged to trust to so little strength. Below are the men as they row in crews with the weights and ages:
