WINTER CREW GETS UNDER WAY TODAY

University and Freshman crew candidates have been notified that meetings today will inaugurate the season of 1931. Upperclass oarsmen will report this afternoon in Lowell House common room at 4 o'clock to register, and to hear talks by Captain J. W. Hallowell '31, head coach C. J. Whiteside, Fred Sullivan '27, University 150-pound coach, E. J. Brown '96, class crew coach, and R. L. Scott '32, crew manager.

At the Freshman meeting in Smith Halls common room at 7 o'clock this evening, Captain Hallowell, Coaches Whiteside and Haines, will outline the plans for the spring season and explain to the first-year men the essential differences between school and college rowing.

Ten Minute Limit

During the coming weeks of winter weather the University candidates will row at Newell Boathouse on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while the Freshmen will work on the machines at Weld boathouse on those days, going over to Newell on Tuesdays and Thursdays for instruction in the tank. Each man will be limited to ten minutes work a day until the crews go on the river, in order to accommodate the number of men who are expected to report today. Since the oarsmen will not be graded until they get on the water, which Coach Whiteside hopes will be on or about Monday, March 9, the class crew candidates will row with the University men, while the total number of crews is expected to exceed 40.

Prospects Bright

University prospects this year are more promising than ever, according to Coach Whiteside. Upon the boating of the four crews which will go to make up the squad, they will row without designation until Wednesday, April 1, when the three best boats will be selected for the first race of the season, which will be held on Saturday, May 9, in the triple regatta between Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Princeton on the Charles.
