This afternoon the four graded crews will race over the one and seven-eighths miles course in the basin. The start will be made opposite the Union boathouse at 3.30 o'clock, and the boats will finish at the Longwood bridge. The members of the winning crew will be awarded their club insignia, which will consist of a large "N" or "W" with "U. B. C." in small letters. Coach Wray and Captain Richardson will follow the crews in the launch, and men who show up well under the strain of racing conditions will be considered for the University squad next spring. Last year, 10 men were taken up to the University squad as the result of similar races, and these included members of both winning and losing crews. Four crews, two from each boathouse, have entered for the race today, and will row in a single heat.
The men will have to paddle down to the start, and, as the race will be rowed off on time, they should leave the boathouses not later than 3 o'clock. Any man who has not passed the strength-test this fall must take it this morning, or at 2 o'clock this afternoon, in order to be allowed to enter the race.
It is difficult to say what the result of this afternoon's contest will be, as the crews have rowed so little together, and there have been so many changes in the boats. On the whole, however, the chances seem to favor Newell, for the men have more unity in their rowing, and keep their blades longer in the water. Weld is inclined to clip the finish of the stroke, and at times there is a noticeable check of the shell between strokes, as the men do not control their slides well. Furthermore, although Weld is decidedly fast over the first part of the course, the boat becomes dead towards the finish. The second Weld crew should win out against Newell second, which has hardly been out twice in the same order.
The orders of the crews are as follows:
First Weld--Stroke, G. Martin '10; 7, S. Vaughan '09; 6, L. Hill '10; 5, B. W. Wooley '09; 4, R. G. Haines '09; 3, R. H. Coe '11; 2, E. B. Robbins '10; bow, G. T. Aspinwall '10; cox., DeC. Fales '11.
Second Weld--Stroke, J. C. Hurd '10; 7, F. Izard '08; 6, S. T. Crawford IL.; 5, F. G. Barrows '10; 4, G. B. Simmons '09; 3, R. Warren '10; 2, G. M. Pinney '10; bow, G. Mixter '08; cox., M. M. Warren '10.
First Newell--Stroke, F. R. Maxwell '10; 7, G. S. Deming '10; 6, H. C. Beaman '10; 5, C. McLeod '10; 4, R. G. Henderson '10; 3, W. B. Richards '09; 2, S. E. Henry '08; bow, H. V. Morgan '10, cox., F. D. Everett '11.
Second Newell--Stroke, H. Richardson '09; 7, W. DeF. Beal '11; 6, V. G. Schmitt '11; 5, C. D. Osborne '10; 4, D. C. Heath '10; 3, K. W. Hunter '11; 2, R. M. Lane '10; bow, G. C. Prince '10; cox., H. W. Hines '09.
