among the several classes Of Harvard In the matter
Of boating for the present season.
The generous rivalry existing between the VA
riOus classes at Harvard Is constantly asserting It,

matters pertaining to the regular curriculum, now
In society scrambes and now in the pursuit OF dis

esprit de corps into muscular warfare, and every
nerve Is strained BY the members OF the rival
classes to the end that the palm may be awarded
them: Just now the crews representing

THE FRESHMAN CREWS
The fact that the first Freshman crew Ia to put in
an appearance at the College regatta ut Springfield
this summer, makes It, next to the University crew,
elected captain in place OF Hartwell, resigned ana
under his efficient management the crew Is fast
learning the peculiar style OF handling the oar which
distinguishes all Harvard 6afsmen. The unpre-
cedcntedly large class has afforded wide field from

made up ii. 8. Hunnewell is stroke, J. II. Wells

This crew will enter for the class race also,
and will probably then give an earnest OF what
they will do when tho freshmen OF Amherst,
Yale and Brown meet them on the Connecticut.
Not 10 be behind their elders In college boating, the
Freshmen have also second crew, which will

What with preparations which are making for the
intercollegiate regatta, the class and the Bos-
ton Fourth of July regatta-to which Harvard has
concluded TO send o crew-the college oarsmcn
have their time well taken up, and II their sue
cess In all these contests Is to be measured by their
devotion to the oar. the magenta Is still destined to
be the emblem Of victory In aquatic circles.
