The University crew squad had its first outdoor workout yesterday afternoon when they manned the Leviathan and took it a short way up the Charles. Floating ice, most of which gathered in the vicinity of the Anderson Bridge, made it seem inadvisable to row in shells.

The scene was completed by an aeroplane which hovered over the river for some time.
