FRESHMEN ALMOST FOUNDER IN EARLY WORKOUT ON THAMES

New London, Connecticut, June 3, 1924.--A high wind made the waters of the Thames so rough here today that the Freshman crew nearly swamped when it attempted its regular morning workout at 11 o'clock. Instead of putting the two University boats through their morning paces, Coach Stevens took each University crew man out in a two-oared shell, himself pulling the oar not used by the student oarsman.
