NEW RECORD FOR OPEN WATER

Yesterday the first University crew went out on the river for the first row of the season, thereby establishing a new record, as up to this year February 23 was the earliest that any crew had been on the Charles. The order of the crew was as follows: Stroke, Lund; 7, Cabot; 6, Parson; 5, W. Middendorf; 4, Harwood; 3, Stebbins; 2, Morgan; bow, Murray; cox., Kreger. The second University crew and the class crews rowed for 15 minutes each on the machines at the Newell boathouse and then took a run of about one and a half miles.

Eighty-five candidates reported for the University and class crews, and 120 candidates for the Freshman crew. Both these numbers set a new record in the history of rowing at Harvard.

There is a scarcity of Freshman and University coxswains. All these should report to C. T. Abeles '13 at the Newell boathouse tomorrow at 5 o'clock.
