Yale and Penn, Open Crew Season

The first important college crew race of the year comes on Saturday, when the first and second crews of Yale and Pennsylvania will race at Philadelphia over a one and one-half mile course. Coach Nickalls has worked the Yale crew unusually hard for this time of year, making it row about fifteen miles a day, and raising the stroke to thirty when it rows for speed. The Yale crews are rowing in English shells, with thole-pin rigs, but the seats are arranged in a straight line. The first crew contains three members of last year's regular crew, Captain A. D. Sturtevant., J. R. Sheldon, and S. Low, 2d.
