Three boats have entered for the Weld four-oared race, to be held tomorrow afternoon on the Charles River Basin at three o'clock sharp. The course will be a mile straight-away with the tide, the start being just above Harvard Bridge opposite the break, and the finish off the Union Boat House.
Of the three crews, the one stroked by Bancroft has had the most practice, as all the men rowed on the '97 Weld crew last spring. The four men on Harding's crew rowed on the Freshman Weld eight in the Weld class races. Bancroft in the first boat and Pierce in the second rowed in the Weld Senior eight which entered the National Regatta, held in Philadelphia, Aug. 14. Kernan, who is in the second boat, went to Poughkeepsie as a substitute with the Freshman crew last year. The third crew have rowed together but a few times this fall.
The make-ups of the crews are as follows:
I.- Stroke, H. Bancroft 1G.; 3, E. James 2L; 2, F. N. Morrill 1L; bow, P. Nichols 3L; coxswain, F. Jackson.
II.- Stroke, C. L. Harding 1900; 3, T. W. Pierce 1900; 2, J. D. Kernan 1900, bow, R. B. Bedford 1900; coxswain, A. L. Sweetser 1901.
III.- Stroke, R. N. Burnham 1900, 3, R. A. Leeson '99; 2, R. O. Hodges '98; bow, F. C. Wilson '98; coxswain, T. W. Clark '98.
