...outlook for a strong crew is excellent, since five of last year's eight are still in college and eligible to row. They are: Stroke, Williams; 7, Niedecken; 6, Captain Allen; 5, Brown; 2, Wickes. If Brown declines to row, four places will be left vacant. The men who rowed on last year's university four are all in college.

The practice yesterday was fairly good considering the length of time the men have been together. A second Newell eight will be formed at once, and will race with a Weld eight about the time of the Senior crew races. The make-up of the first Newell crew follows: Stroke, F. L. Higginson '00; 7, N.
