...account of Saturday's 40-mile an hour gale, the University crews, for the first time since regular outdoor practice started, were unable to be out. Ice was forming on the river, float, and launches, and the water was whipped into a chop. The work of the crews has been going on smoothly this year, and the men have had an unusually early opportunity for river work. The present order of the University oarsmen is as follows...
