In the first crew practice of the year, yesterday afternoon, four boats were organized. The first three worked on the machines; and the fourth one rowed in the tank. It is now planned to have each crew row in the tank once a week.

The order was as follows: stroke, Newton; 7, Metcalf; 6, Cutler; 5, Bacon; 4, Withington; 3, Hooper; 2, Leslie; bow, Sargent.
