All men will report at Newell boathouse today at 3.30 o'clock dressed to row. Any candidate who is unable to report at that time should reach Newell by 4. It is expected that yesterday's showing will be materially increased by new men today, so that the Freshman crew, at least, may continue its season us usual...

The rowing will be so arranged that those men who are taking Military Science, or who have afternoon laboratory work will not be barred out of the competition. The work will be much the same as last year, the Freshmen being formed into interdormitory crews, and the upper classmen into club crews. Later...
...opportunity is also given men to row each day, but the boathouse will probably be opened soon as a training school for Naval Coast Defence Reserve men. At certain hours each day the gymnasium is reserved for members of the R. O. T. C., and competent instruction in swimming, as well as in exercises that tend to develop agility and general efficiency are given...
