The order for the University eight-oared shell for this year was given recently to W. H. Davy, of Cambridge, and the keel was set up yesterday. Davy has built at least one shell for every University crew for the last 15 years and has also built many Freshman and four-oared boats.
The order was this year held until much later than usual so that the shell might be better adapted to the crew, which will be considerably lighter than last year. The shell will be 60 feet long, 23 inches beam, and 9 3-4 inches deep. It will be at least 20 pounds lighter than last year's boat and there will be a little more shear on the keel. If the shell is completed in time, it may be used in the race with Cornell on May 27.
