May 10, when a freshman and varsity
crew will be picked, with four substitutes
for each, and May 10 the final selection
will be made from the three crews.
Outside of the lack Of open-water prac
tice, Coach McConviIle says the prospects
are good for a very strong crew, as the
average weight of the men is greater than
last year. and the interest fully as good.
Only three Of the '9S varsity eight are

have returned and there is considerable
new material. The average weight of
the varsity candidates is 1G5.
