Cornell Athletics.

Courtney, the Cornell coach, has begun to gather men for this year's freshman crew. It is of course impossible to give any prophecy as to the probable merits of the crew, but with the material which the class has shown itself to contain, there is no reason to expect difficulty in developing a good eight.

The chances for a good nine this year are excellent. Eight former players will probably continue their work,- Young, Towle, Best, Rich, Hamlin, Harrington, McNeil, and Miller. Most of the pitching will be done by Cobb, last year's substitute, for Priest, last year's regular pitcher, will not return. Light individual training may soon be begun, but serious work will not come till February.
