...river yesterday afternoon. All of the boats went up the river from Newell Boat House instead of using the course between the Anderson and Williams St., bridges. Crew A was the first boat out. Just as it was passing the Cambridge Boat Club a large ice floe caught it. Several manager candidates were sent up in canoes and it was several minutes before the boat was free...
