With more than 70 men reporting for the first crew practice of the year from all the classes of the University, Head Coach Haines looks forward to a successful season. This number of men, although far smaller than that of previous years, is, nevertheless, encouraging when so few of the experienced men are available. More men are still needed, however, to make the fall season and later the spring season completely successful. The Freshman class in particular should come out with more candidates. Only 30 reported yesterday, of which number about one-third were inexperienced men. The Freshman crew...
...fall competitions as far as they are yet formed. "War has shown athletes to be the most desirable officers," he said, "and therefore it is our duty to train more of them."

No previous experience is necessary, and this fall's competition offers the best coaching opportunities ever given to new men. It will be necessary for candidates to supply themselves with the following equipment: Sweater, rowing shoes, hat, rowing pants, shirt...
...present time it is planned to have the regular University crew next spring in case the war should be over by that time. Therefore the Upper classmen who report for fall rowing will be in a far better position to win positions on the University than those who fail to avail themselves of this opportunity. No "H" men will be back. If a University crew is formed next spring, it will be built around a nucleus formed by the few men who will return and who held positions last year on the second and third crews. This leaves several vacancies...
