Harvard crew activities over the week-end will be many and varied.

With the possibility that Captain Munroe, whose sensational finish captured the mile event at last year's carnival may be back in the running, and that Dodge, Record, Estes, and Hallowell continue in Saturday's form, the Crimson can look forward with confidence to the Greater Boston Intercollegiates next week-end...
