Freshman Oarsmen Badly Needed

The class of 1917 is not responding to the call for crew candidates as classes have in the past. The squad is less than half as large as the squads of the past four years. The crew does not vary as the size of the squad, but 1917 should show enthusiasm comparable to other classes. These figures are a disgrace to the Freshman class.

Inexperience in a Freshman crew candidate is an asset and not a handicap. Any man with determination can learn to row.

Remember, Freshman, your crew must have more candidates. We expect to see 50 more candidates, report for regular work at the Newell boathouse this afternoon at 5.15 o'clock.
