gatta will be held May s. are planning not

likewise TO interscholastic rowing which, they
think, has been sadly neglected by the various

the association has been working along this line,
and each regatta has been Of more interest TO the
schoolboys.

second IN Importance only 10 the Junior college
race Although It Is stil too early to make definite
announcement concerning the entries, II is almost
certain that there will be at least four school
crews entered, and there IS some likelihood that
this number may be doubled. In order TO encour-
age scholastic rowing the stewards have reduced
the entry zee 20 s., and this amount VIII be re-
funded 70 all crews which start.
The stewards also purpose 20 encourage eight
