EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :- I think it wellworth while to call the attention of all freshmen to the advantages to be gained by going into training as candidates for their class crew. In the first place there is need of plenty of strong, heavy men from whom to select the crew; but aside from this, rowing is one of the best forms of exercise, and even those who do not intend to make a specialty of athletics will find themselves well repaid for the time spent in training. It is an excellent plan to get into the habit of steady, systematic gymnasium work, such as is required of the candidates, and every man will feel the benefit of this winter's work through the remainder of his college life. The complaint is often made that men will not train for any team unless they feel confident of securing a position upon it. This is only too true, and I would urge the freshmen not to allow this to be said of them, but to start in their first year with the determination to train for their own good, and not altogether for the purpose of winning a place on the team.
