Opening its first season as a major sport the lightweight crew will meet MIT on the Charles River course this afternoon. Crimson coach Joe Brown said the outcome is impossible to predict since this is the first race for both schools.
The varsity hasn't lost to MIT since 1955 but should have a good fight on its hands today. While this year's crew, with five returning lettermen, is substantially the same as that which easily won last year, MIT has also lost few men. Towards the end of the season they improved decidedly, finishing third in the EARC.
The J.V. will face both the MIT second boat and the Brown varsity. The first and second Freshman boats will take on their Tech counterparts. Brown claimed that the Freshman first boat would be as good as last year's crew which lost only in the EARC, except for the fact that it is about two weeks behind schedule.
