The candidates for the University crew have recently been reduced to twenty-five men. These men have been picked from the various class crew squads and will constitute the three University eights until about May 1 when the squad will again be reduced to the permanent eights. It has been decided to take the crews out of doors as soon as the ice in the harbor breaks up, probably in two or three week.

The three eights just selected are made up as follows: First, stroke, Cameron; 7, Blagden; 6, Kunzig; 5, Mitchell; 4, Rumsey; 3, Laws; 2, Bogue; bow, Hewitt. Second, stroke, Hooker; 7, Auchinloss; 6, Warmoth; 5, Sherman; 4, Holt; 3, Schley; 2, Sargent; bow, McClintock. Third, stroke, Verrill; 7, Lincoln; 6, Scott; 5, Johnson; 4, Goodwin; 3, Waterman; 2, Ackley; bow, Atkinson.

F. B. Allen '00 will begin coaching the crews late in April or early in May.
