The 'Varsity Crew.

Yesterday Mr. Lehmann had the candidates for the 'Varsity Crew out in pairs:

The men rowed in one of the old pairs which has been rigged with English locks and slides with no incline. Yesterday for the first time the men rowed with the new oars from Donahue which have been made like the English ones with narrow blades and greater leverage inboard.

Davy is also rigging one of the shells according to Mr. Lehmann's ideas.

Mr. Lehmann is paying special attention at present to the body work of the men. The new stroke is longer fore and aft than the stroke rowed last year, and there is greater emphasis on the catch. The oars remain in the water longer and the whole stroke gives an impression of power.
