THE YALE FRES1-IMAN BLUE BooK 23 T1 B. roms Crew T. B. DENEGIQE. Cajnfaiii U1iiUe1'5ity Crew fIQIs-jj After several years of uncertainty and doubt, Yale rowing has at last found itself. A system has been established which, in the first year of its trial, proved successful. Rowing is a sport which requires that every man- give his all to it. There is no glamour to the months of hard work, no glamour to the long rows, there is no crowd of enthusiasts to cheer brilliant work each week, but everybody knows what a'crew's victory brings to Yale. p ' The present freshman class has come to Yale larger than any previous class and for this reason more is expected from the men of l9l7 S. and 1918. Let everybody do something for Yale and start right in doing it. Let everyone with any idea of rowing and any man who feels that he wants to do something, but is not quite sure what, come down to the boat-house and show what he is worth. Determinationand willingness to stick at it is what is required, and whether success be the eventual end or not, each man will have the satisfaction of knowing that he has made the man ahead of him so much better. Associations, friendships, and physical good may be acquired by the daily work which is bound up in a year's routine on the harbor. Everybody knows that it is not the men who have rowed before that make the crew from year to year but it is the men who show the right spirit and are willing throughout the whole sea- son to give their best for Yale. 7

' N. S. TALBOTT Cajvtaziz U1zz't'ez'sity Football Tram- KIQIYU Football As we look back over the past football seasons we find, every year, good men who have become ineligible because they have not kept up in their studies. This condition is one that can be remediedg and it is about time that Yale men who have a chance to play on Yale teams see to it that their work is in good shape. A little looking ahlead and daily work will, in most cases, keep a man on the safe- sic e. The Yale coaches' can handle all of the 'candidates who will report. They want every man who will, to try'tor the team. If a man does not come up to the standard of the 'Varsity squad, he can play on the scrub squad, and every man will be given a chance. Men have played on the 'Varsity team in their Sophomore year when they did not make their Freshmen team, and men have made the 'Varsity team in their Senior year after two years on a third or fourth team. Cn Yale Field every candidate is on an equal footing niith every otlier man and the man who produces is the one who- p ays in t ie c iampionship games. - ' From now on the responsibility of developing a championship- football team will rest, in a great measure, with the undergraduates, No coach can produce winning teams without proper material, and every tall the number of candidates should increaseg every man who- possibly can should take advantage of the opportunity to try for the 'Yale team.
