WE wish to call the attention of all crews and single-scullers to the necessity of keeping a clear course on the river for the University Crew. The lively interest which has been lately aroused in boating has caused the river to be somewhat crowded at the hour when the Crew rows, and it is, perhaps, almost impossible to avoid an occasional accident. Yet it is exceedingly annoying for the Crew to be obliged to alter its course to avoid running down a "gentleman four," or some tyro in the art of sculling, who has got caught in a bridge. At Oxford no mercy is shown to any unfortunate oarsman who gets in the way, and it is the custom to fine heavily any crew that interferes with the course of the University boat. Perhaps the treasury of our H. U. B. C. might be advantageously filled in this way. At all events, if beginners would keep on neutral water, and coxswains would exercise a little extra care, the course of the Crew might be made smoother than it is at present.
