The Weld Boat Club will enter three crews in the Metropolitan regatta to be held June 17 in the Charles river basin. The club will make a new departure by entering a junior eight. Sixteen men were called out by Coach Donovan, and, after a few days preliminary work in four-oars and in the freshman barge, a crew was put into one of the 'varsity shells. For the past three days the crew has been rowing as follows: Stroke, Magrath; 7, Addison; 6, Thomson; 5, Youngman (capt.); 4, Stevens; 3, Delaney; 2, Fay (McKelleget); bow, Smith.
Nearly all the men have had experience in the four-oar races. A crew of four men from the class boats whose make-up has not yet been determined upon will probably row the club's four-oared shell in the race for junior fours. This latter crew may be safely expected to win and the eight ought to make a creditable showing against the other crews entered for their event.
Thomson and Youngman are picked for winners in the junior double scull race.
