legiate rowing season opens with
good deal of promise for interest
ing contests during the ensuing
months until intervarsity honors are
decided over the Poughkeepsie course
next June. The unusual open winter
has afforded the coaches and crew
candidates much earlier opportun-
ity to go out on the water this year

sic races. Next week the Pacific
coast intercollegiate regatta will be
one of the attractions for the visitors
to the Panama-P Pacific International
exposition at San Francisco aud to-

Princeton and Harvard will meet the
"middies' in dual contests at An
