Rowing in preparation for the graded crew races will begin this afternoon and all the men who have rowed in the dormitory crews during the past month will report at their respective boathouses. The annual graded crew race, which is scheduled for Friday, November 15, will take place over the one and seven-eighths mile course in the basin, starting at the Union boathouse and finishing at the Longwood bridge. The members of the crew winning this race will, as usual, be awarded their club insignia and will probably be given a chance to row with the University crew squad, as was done last year.
