FOUR 1925 CREWS TO RACE

This afternoon at 4 o'clock Dr. Howe and Coach Bert Haines will enter four of their Freshman crews--A. C. M. 1, E. F. M. 1, I. F. M. 1, and A. C. M. 3--in a race over the mile course on the basin. The finish will be at the Harvard Bridge. Owing to the stormy weather prevailing Saturday, the yearling contest scheduled for that date, could not be held and has been postponed till today.

Judging by its previous records last fall and during the past few weeks, A. C. M. 1 appears the logical winner, but the first experienced football eight, outweighing its rivals 15 pounds to the man, has already proved its capacity for speed and endurance in several practice brushes and should furnish stubborn resistance. The inexperienced football men exhibited a flash of form last Friday when they gained a marginal decision of three feet over E. F. M, 2.

It is on the results of this test that Dr. Howe and the coaches will to a large extent base their selection of graded crews tomorrow. However, it has been intimated very strongly that the members of the losing boats will be placed under no handicap, and that each oarsman will receive equal consideration for a berth among the first Freshman eights. The principal object of the race this afternoon is to give the coaches a definite idea of the relative merits of the crews as units, as well as allowing the men a last opportunity of proving their individual capacities under race pressure.
