The Yale Crew Prospects.

The out look at present for the Yale crew is comparatively good, although the material thus far is not up to the average. This may be, however, due to the delay in getting the rowing tanks in the new gymnasium ready for use, in place of which the men have exercised by running three or four miles each day, together with gymnastics for the back and limbs.

Of the old men Gallaudet, stroke, is recovering from typhoid fever but will probably be in good condition in a month or two. Graves, No. 5, will go into active training after Christmas. Paine, No. 4. has been working with the squad and will likely hold his position. Van Huyck, No. 3. and Johnson, bow, are in good form. Balliet. No. 2, will not row this season; his place together with No. 6, are the vacant positions. Captain Ives is hard at work training his men and is perhaps the most valuable man of the lot. Among the substitutes, Howland and Chatfield are the most promising, while Fogar, Goetchin, Messler, Rogers, and Beard of last year's freshman crew are working hard. This year's freshman crew have done hardly any work so far, but will probably produce some good material.
