Inc Harvard rowing management
has written to the Naval Academy
that 1t will bring its crew to Annapolis
| thursday of the coming week, but that
IL would prefer to row the race against
the Naval Academy crew on the 21st
instead OF the 23d. The former date
Was the first one suggested by IIar-
ward, but athletic contests are not as
rule permitted to midshipmen on anv
days Of the week bur THURSDAYS and
Saturdays. However. special permis-
SION was obtained from the secretary
or the navy to row on that date. Short
ly after, Harvard agreed to row on
the 23d. The permission to row on the
21st can probably be obtained, but it
VIII be with much difficulty at this
date Much interest is being taken at
Annapolis in the visit of the Harvard
oarsmen. which will cover the week
from April II to April 81 if Harvards
suggestion as to the date of the race
is accepted.
