A dozen Freshmen met yesterday in the Managers' Room of the Union to enter the competition for manager of Freshman crew. Donald C. Watson, Jr. '40, Varsity Manager, announced that the competition would end May 27.

Watson told the Freshmen who turned out at the meeting that they would be expected to work at the Newell Boathouse two or three times a week assisting the crews and helping to prepare the various races.

The winner of the competition becomes manager of the Freshman crew and receives major numerals; the next in line receives minor numerals. The four best men are taken to the camp at Red Top for the final training before the Yale races. A number, as yet undecided, will be asked to compete again in their Sophomore year on an equal basis for the jobs of Varsity Manager, and Varsity 150-pound Manager.
