THIRD NEW SHELL IN ONE YEAR LAUNCHED YESTERDAY

With the launching of the new shell which has just been completed by boat builder "Bill" Lusk the Harvard navy has received its third additional craft since approximately a year ago. The boat was taken out by crew D of the A squad on its initial cruise yesterday afternoon and will probably be used from now on. It is expected that this boat or its sister craft, which was launched about a week ago, will carry the Crimson eight at New London in the race with the Elis in June.

The new shell had rather a hectic voyage because of the drift wood which has been in the river for the last two or three days. In fact, P. M. Moffet '28, rowing number two in the new boat broke the blade of his oar when he hit a small log which was submerged in such a way that it could not be seen by the coxwain.
