With the close of the first week of fall crew work, the most apparent result of this initial period of activity on the Charles is the better organization of all eights, both University and Freshman. Class crews are being sifted into combinations representing a more careful grading of the material than was possible in the first seating assignment; the 150-pound oarsmen are being watched with a view to determining definite light eights to continue on till next spring, while Dr. Howe, with the aid of D. B. Hull 3S.A. and Wendell Davis '20, has already made changes in the boating of his Freshman shells.

The two University crews finished out the week with a rather extended workout, Coach Muller taking both eights well down into the basin and sending them on protracted stretches at a high stroke. This gradual raising of the beat has been a slow development throughout the week, and though Coach Muller has not yet got his men to the racing stage, it is evident that some work of that nature may be expected in the near future.

Featuring the rowing yesterday afternoon was a race between the Sophomore A and B class crews. This was the first formal brush this fall, and both sets of oarsmen showed plainly the effects of early-season racing. Crew A won the verdict by a clean length, but B was always close enough to make competition of the keenest throughout.
