The Yale crew squads have been gradually reduced until the total number of men now in training for all the eights is only 116. Of these 44 are freshmen, 25 sophomores, 24 juniors and 20 seniors. The freshmen have been coached almost entirely on holding the slide well under them at the catch, and recovering slowly. Some of the most promising material for the university boat is in the sophomore crew squad. The members of last year's 1902 crew were instructed especially in shortening their reach and making a quick finish with the hands, points on which particular stress is being laid this year. The junior crew squad have been coached chiefly on getting the hands away quickly and on straightening the arms entirely before beginning the recover. A sharp catch and a slow recover have been the main points of instruction for the senior crew. Plans are being made to have the oarsmen go upon the water in a few days.
