Rowers to Turn Formal at Nine-Crew Regatta May 11

Harvard will return to rowing as a formal sport in time to compete with eight other colleges on the Navy's Severn River course next May 11. William J. Bingham '16, director of athletics, is still at the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic convention, which agreed on the regatta date soon after re-admitting Harvard to its membership.

Crew coach Bert Haines said last night that a meeting of the rowing mentors last Saturday had recommended that the revival of the prewar Poughkeepsle classic be held in the Charles River Basin, but, in the absence of confirmation from Bingham, it was assumed that the revised schedule as reported in the New York Times yesterday was correct.
