HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
It has been known for some time that the 'varsity crew is to have a new paper shell, but beyond this there has been nothing of especial interest to say of it. The shell will be built on the conventional Waters model, and will be about the same as the boat used last year. It is to be sixty feet in length, twenty-four inches in width, and eight and three-quarter inches deep. Nothing definite is known yet about the rig. One new feature will be tried, however: the tiller lines will be so arranged that the coxswain can grasp the gunwales of the shell and still control the rudder. This will enable him to sit more steadily in the boat, and it is thought will prove a very useful arrangement.
