...Freshman crews will be started on their regular work as soon after Monday, February 9, as possible, probably on Wednesday of that week. Candidates for the Freshman crew are expected to sign the lists provided for that purpose at the University boathouse before Wednesday evening of this week...
Captain Payne Denegre announced Saturday that regular crew work at Yale will start today. Two of the three new rowing coaches arrive in the city and will effect a preliminary arrangement of plans. E.

If the eight men who had seats in that boat are to keep their places they will have to win their positions in a hard competition, for Captain Denegre expects more men to report for crew work this spring than have ever reported before. The enthusiasm of undergraduates in general seems to warrant this assumption. More than 100 men are expected to report for work with the running squad this week...
