CREWS BEGIN SPRING SEASON

All candidates for the University crew and class crews are to report, dressed to row, at the Newell Boathouse this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Plans for the season will be outlined and regular work on the machines will commence. Two University crews will be formed and the rest of the men will be organized into class crews. Under this new plan all men, particularly Seniors, who expect to take any part in organized rowing this spring should be on hand for the first practice. Candidates for the Freshman crew will be called out tomorrow.

All members of the Freshman class desiring to compete for the positions of manager and assistant manager of the 1918 crew should report at the Newell Boathouse this afternoon at 2 o'clock. No previous experience is necessary. During the first month, before the ice breaks up, the work of the candidates will consist chiefly of the duties about the boathouse, together with a certain amount of clerical work. As soon as the river is clear and the boats are launched, the managers will also run the coaching launches. The successful candidates for the two positions will be chosen some time in May.
