Sixteen crews were able to row on the Charles today after the three coaching launches had spent the morning and the early part of the afternoon breaking up the thin sheet of ice formed by the last two days of cold weather.
The only boats to go on the river from Weld boat house were the four crews of autumn crew material, and the inexperienced football material. These six crews will be the contestants in the first informal race of the season today over a one-mile course in the Charles Basin.
All the four University boats went out from Newell boat house but only four class and two 150-pound crews rowed. Toward the latter part of the afternoon floating ice interfered with the work of the other crews.
