TWO LAUNCHES ORDERED FOR THE CRIMSON ROWING FLEET

Orders for two new coaching launches have been placed with the Greenport Construction Company of Greenport, Long, Island, according to an announcement made last night by E. J. Brown '96, University crew coach. After having been exhibited at the New York Motor Boat Show, they will arrive in Cambridge in the early part of March.

The new launches are to be of the same type, but smaller, being 20 feet long with 60 horsepower motors. The "Red Top," as the first was named, was 27 feet long and had a 100 horse-power engine. The Greenport launches are built especially for crew coaching. They have the advantage, Coach Brown said, of leaving a very small wake.
