ROWING STARTS IN TEN DAYS

Regular rowing on the machines in Newell boathouse will start after the midyear period when candidates for the Freshman crews are called out on Monday, February 12. The University rowing squad will not start its daily practice until a week later, on February 19. The competition for the managership and assistant managership of the 1920 crews will also start on February 12 when all candidates will report at Newell boat-house at 3 o'clock.

About 15 or 20 men have been reporting daily for crew practice on the machines, and the voluntary rowing during the examination period, which was instituted for the first time this year, has met with success. A registering device has been fixed on two of the machines which shows a light at the catch and the finish of each stroke so that Coach Haines may better be able to watch the timing of the strokes. It is planned to put them on every machine as soon as possible if they prove as useful as it is hoped.
