Fall rowing on the Charles. River reaches its climax this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock when ten crews will participate in varsity and varsity 150-Ib. races over the regular mile course.

After the regatta there will be a dinner for the 1938 crows who won all their races at New London last summer for the first time since 1916. Robert F. Herrick '90 will be toast Master, at the banquet given by the Harvard Club of Boston.

Speakers at the dinner will be William J. Bingham, Richard Harlow, Thomas D. Bolles, Captain Chace of the '38 varsity crew and Captain Talbot of the '39 varsity crew.

The shells for this afternoon's race are very evenly matched but the dope around the boathouse is that Rowe will take the race with Wagner, Dean and Comstock close behind him. Comstock who won last year by outrowing the famed Spike Chaco is a dark horso according to Harvey Love.

Fall rowing reached a new peak of popularity this year with over 270 oarsmen participating at Newell Boat House alone. Bert Haines has seven out of eight men in his championship 150-Ib. boat which went to England this summer. Spike Chace will be sorely missed in the varsity rowing this year, but Tom Bolles has four veterans-back from his last year's boat which was undefeated. Harvey Love has as good a turnout for fall rowing as he had last year and that's saying something.
