The Freshman interclub crew races between three crews from the Weld and two from the Newell Boat Clubs will be rowed this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The course will be down stream a mile and a half, with the finish at the Union Boat Club. The race will be very important as a test both of the rowing material in the Freshman class, and of the relative merits of the two strokes taught at the Weld and at the Newell. A larger proportion of the men than ever has rowed at their preparatory schools.
