THREE CREW RACES TO BE ROWED WITH MANHATTAN TODAY

With a race between two Harvard shells as an opener the crew season begins today at 2 o'clock. The occasion is the informal regatta in the basin in which three Crimson shells will race with three boats from Manhattan College.

The Manhattan Varsity will race the Crimson Jayvees and the Manhattan Jayvees will take on the Harvard third boat, while in the Freshman race the first New York boat will compete with the Crimson seconds, leaving the first Crimson Freshman and Varsity eights to race against each other.

Bert Haines, Freshman coach refereeing the regatta, will start the festivities at 2 o'clock when he orders his first boat to "Row!" against Coach Charlie Whiteside's eight over the new mile and three quarters course ending just off the Union Boat Club.

Manhattan will take back one of the Harvard shells with them to New York as they are still trying to get the rowing side of their athletic curriculum fully developed. They have only had a crew since 1932 and are not yet in a position to compete with the colleges which have been putting first class crews on the water for so many years.
