Yesterday afternoon the University crew resumed work again for the first time since the Columbia race. During the recess the crew was allowed to break training and to take a week's rest from rowing, although the first two Freshman crews rowed during the first part of the recess and the second University crew during the latter part. All of the men returned except Lunt, who is unable to come back until Thursday. Yesterday S. W. Fish 1L. took Lunt's place at No. 2, and will continue to row there until his return.

Before College opens after the spring recess, the crew, the baseball team, and the lacrosse team will have begun their schedules. This afternoon on the Charles the University crew rows against Columbia in what we hope will be a successful attempt to make up for the defeat of two years ago. Coach rice is an experienced leader, and although he has been obliged to make numerous eleventh-hour shifts in the Columbia boat, he will probably send out a very powerful crew.
