The freshman crew will start for New London this noon on the same train the 'varsity took. The requisite five hundred dollars has been raised by J. H. Morgan, the manager, and the outlook financially at least is better than with the freshman crews of several years past.

The race will come off, unless there is some reason for its postponement, on the 24th, and will be rowed in the sophomore's shell. The boat which Waters built for the freshmen, as was the case last year with the '93 boat, has proved unfit to row in.

As the 'varsity took the boat down with their own, the substitutes will go with the crew. A new set of oars has been ordered from Donahue for the race.

The men are in good condition and encouraged by the improvement which they have made late. S. D. Parker '91, will coach and have general charge of the crew and will probably be assisted somewhat by the 'varsity substitutes.

The crew will row as follows:

AGE. WT. HT.

Str. J. W. Glidden, 19 164 5.10 1-2

7 C. T. Bond, 18 167 5.10

6 D. W. Shea, 21 174 6.

5 B. G. Waters, 19 174 6.

4 J. S. Fay, 19 171 6.

3 R. P. Blake, 20 162 6.

2 J. M. Thompson, 19 155 5.10

Bow, L. Loring, 20 150 5.10

Sub. W. S. Johnson, 19 166 5.11

Sub. S. M. Williams, 18 164 6.

Cox. S. Battelle, 19 114

The individual faults most characteristic are as follows:

Stroke. Glidden. Apt to make two parts of stroke and tendency to feather under water.

7. Bond. Apt to catch too deep and swings back too far.

6. Shea. Swings away from his oar on the recover and pulls out.

5. Waters. Slow in starting body forward and getting his legs on.

4. Fay. Clips and is apt to break his arms too quickly and jerk at the finish.

3. Blake. Reaches round with outside shoulder, apt to rush his slide and clip.

2. Thompson. Slow in getting body forward, apt to get too much bevel and not quick enough with shoulders.

Bow. Loring. Apt to be behind at catch and shoot.

The crew as o whole is apt to be unsteady at both ends of the stroke. They catch hard, however, and pull the stroke through. The crew has been coached lately with special reference to the swing and body work but, attention will be paid to leg work at New London.

The average weight of the crew is 164 5-8 this year against 160 1-2 of last years freshmen.

The men are strong in proportion to their weight and ought to row a very fast race.

The men leave Harvard Square at 12 o'clock.
