lowing order, as decided at a confer-

sity Fours will start at the beginning
of the 4-mile course at 11.30 A. M., and
row with the tide to the Navy Yard,
two miles. The Freshman Eights will
be ready at the Navy Yard, and with no
delay, will race from that point to the
drawbridge. As soon as the observa-
ion trains can» get back to the start
the University Crews will row, probably
between 12 and 12.30. This is exactly
the Program of last year, except that the
hour is an ‘earlier one. Should rowing
be impossible in the morning, the races
will be rowed up stream in the same
order, the fours starting from the
drawbridge at 6 P. M. on the incoming
tide; the Freshmen finishing the course
