Yesterday afternoon the University and second crews went out on the river for the first time this season, somewhat later than last year, when the crews were launched on February 19. Both crews used an old barge, which they boarded from the shore near the Weld Boat Club. The work for each eight consisted in rowing twice downstream to the Western avenue bridge and back.

With the exception of J. Richardson, Jr., '08, who was not at number 5, the University crew rowed in the same order as last week. Richardson was absent on account of a slight injury to one of his knees, which he suffered in a hockey match on Sunday. He is expected to be in condition again next week. R. M. Faulkner '09, who was number 7, on the Freshman crew last year, rowed in his place. Coach Wray coxswained both the University and second eights.

The orders:

University crew--Stroke, Morgan; 7, Severance; 6, R. Bacon; 5, Faulkner; 4, Glass; 3, Tappan; 2, Fish; bow, Burchard; cox., Coach Wray.

Second crew--Stroke, Lunt; 7, Wiggins; 6, Swaim; 5, Whitney; 4, G. Bacon; 3, Richards; 2, Farley; bow, Tilton; cox., Coach Wray.
