University and Freshman crews had their first long workout of the season yesterday, rowing downstream for a considerable distance below the Cottage Farm Bridge. Coach Haines devoted his attention to the two upper crews of each squad, following the shells in the Pup I, which was launched yesterday. Though smooth rowing was rendered difficult by numerous cakes of floating ice, Coach Haines was satisfied with the workout, declaring that the University eight showed excellent form for only the third time on the water. Five of the lower boats, made up principally of green men, rowed from Weld under the direction of Coach Brown, while the remaining eights practised in the tank, supervised by Arthur Beane '11.

Before the workout Monday, Coach Haines will give the oarsmen a short "blackboard talk." He will speak to the Freshman squad in Newell at 3.45 o'clock, and to the University squad at 4.15 o'clock. A second call for coxswains has been issued. They should report at Newell on Monday at 3.30 o'clock.
