...competition for Freshman crew managers will start today with a meeting at 1.05 o'clock in Grays 12; the competition will last twelve weeks. In crew, as in no other sport, the Manager and Assistant Manager both receive their numerals and both successful candidates will be taken to Red Top where the crews will be in training for three weeks before the Yale races.

The players must not only uphold Harvard's athletic prowess over an old rival; they have the added tasks of justifying their existence as a minor sport and of arousing the interest and support--somewhat lacking now--which will be the basis for future successful teams. A victory will help...
