The intercollegiate crew season will open on April 9, when the University of California meets the University of Washington on the Pacific Coast, and although this struggle is outside the pale of Eastern collegiate rowing, the result will pass by far from unnoticed. The general feeling is that the winner will travel East to compete in neighboring waters, and the intersectional flavor which always accompanies a Pacific Coast athletic group East will give added Interest to the Hudson River regatta.

Plans for a very extensive rowing season have been virtually completed by the Eastern colleges and opportunities will be frequent during the next three months to witness an unprecedented number of races.

The winner of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race, to be held on the Thames, March 30, may travel across the Atlantic for a race with Cornell. The Ithaca university, as well as the Intercollegiate Rowing Association has extended England an invitation, and could the winner of the English university regatta be persuaded to compete at Poughkeepsie, the Hudson River race would take on world-wide importance.
