University Crew Squad Cut

The University crew squad has been cut to two University and three class crews and 12 substitutes. The five University and class crews will row from the Newell boathouse for the rest of the season, and the substitutes that have been retained for the class crews will row from the Newell in fours or eights. For the other men who have been cut from the squad there will be no regular rowing until immediately after the Easter vacation. Then the Eliot and Thayer club crews will be formed as last fall, and for them there will be about four weeks' rowing in preparation for the May races, which will come during the third week of that month.

Next Thursday the "John Harvard" and the "Veritas" will be in commission, and beginning then all Freshman crews below the fourth will row from the Weld boathouse and be coached by G. M. MacVicar. Today, for the first time this season, the third and fourth Freshman crews will go out on the river. E. J. Brown will coach the three class crews and the third and fourth Freshman, while Coach Wray will take charge of the University and first two Freshman crews.

Arrangements have been made for a single-sculling race with Yale to be rowed at the same time as the class crew race, and anyone except the members of the University crews will be eligible. As both the Weld and the Newell are now opened for single-scull rowing, it is hoped that a good number will report regularly. The representatives who are to race against Yale will be chosen some time in May.

Owing to J. Talcott's absence, K. P. Culbert is now rowing on the second University.

The order of the class crews is as follows:
