Of special interest to Harvard men in the February number of Outing will be an anonymous article on "College Rowing," and well-written essays on "Photography and Athletics" by W. I. Lincoln Adams and on "Training" by Malcolm Ford.
The article on "College Rowing" is written in a vivacious, entertaining manner and describes not only the general course of training which the crews of both Yale and Harvard undergo before the final struggle on the Thames, but also general features of the life at New London for both crews and spectators, the routine at the quarters, the gaieties at the hotels. One point which the author specially dwells on is the drawback which the crews, and especially the losing crew, have to experience in the race from the surface-suction of the steamers which are following in their wake. He comes to the conclusion that the Conneticut Congressmen should see that a law should be passed for the police regulation of the river.
In his article on training, Mr. Ford gives some very sensible views on a subject in which a great many Harvard men take a practical interest. In his concluding remarks, Mr. Ford says: "Do not exert yourself in practice but leave the effort for the competition. In this way, you give the muscles the necessary work without tiring them," - a piece of advice which Mr. Lathrop always gives the men under his charge.
