Monday of each week to the whole Freshman squad exclusively. At first the stroke was set very low, with the idea of getting the men to work together at the start of practice, four University eights were picked and the remainder divided into six club crews--there Eliot and three Thayer.

This is designed to make the cross-country teams' practice a feature of the games. The order and times of events will be announced later...

From present indications the season will be the most successful in the history of fall rowing...
