CREW PRACTICE BEGINS.

Mr. F. D. Colson of Cornell, who will direct the coaching of the crews this year, arrived in Cambridge yesterday. The University squad of twenty-four men will report at the boathouse at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon for the first work of the season. In order to facilitate instruction of the men in the rudiments of the new stroke which will be introduced this year, the squad will be divided into small groups of three or four men each.

The Freshman squad will also be under the direction of Mr. Colson, assisted by J. G. Smith 1L., who has been acting as Freshman coach since the beginning of the season. Regular practice for the Freshman squad will be held at the University boathouse at 4 o'clock.
