The Freshman crew will leave for New London this afternoon on the 3.04 train from the Back Bay station. The following men will leave the Square on a special car at 2.15: Tew, Lawson, Hall, Mills, Webster, Locke, Ober, Swaim, Richmond, Eayrs, McLeod, Moot, Humphreys and Kernan. The crew will occupy the regular Freshman quarters at Gales Ferry and will be coached from now on by R. F. Blake '99. H. Bancroft '97, who has had charge of the coaching hitherto, will assist in the work on Saturdays and Sundays. A short practice row will be held this morning or early this afternoon before the departure of the train.

The work of the crew yesterday afternoon was short, but very encouraging. The new shell built by Davy was used for the first time and seemed to fit the men much better than the old one. The crew rowed with more life than usual and travelled faster between strokes. After rowing up-stream from the Newell for a mile and a half in short stretches, the crew returned in one stretch and for the last quarter of a mile raised the stroke from 30 to 38. The washing out at the finish of the stroke has largely disappeared and the crew now shows considerable ability in putting up the stroke smoothly.
