WILL LAUNCH 17 SHELLS TODAY

The crews have given up the early season divisions under which they have been working up to this time, and the classifications which will continue for the remainder of the rowing season have been made. Hereafter Coach Haines will be in charge of only the first three University and first three Freshman eights. The lower University crews, under Coach Brown, will be divided into class boats which will compete in the spring regatta; the winner of this race will row Yale in the regatta at New London in June. Coach Manning will instruct the remaining Freshman crews. Today all the Freshman oarsmen will be transferred from Newell to Weld.

Inasmuch as 17 shells will be put on the river this afternoon a large addition to the present staff of coxswains is needed. Previous experience is unnecessary and all prospective candidates will be given a thorough trial. University coxswains should report at Newell and Freshmen at Weld today at 4 o'clock.
