After a brief introduction by R. T. Winthrop '26, captain of the University Crew, Coach E. C. Stevens traced graphically the history of rowing in the University before a large and enthusiastic audience at the crew night' held last night in the Living Room of the Union.

Different methods of teaching the technique of various strokes, themselves and finally great races in which the differences in stroke won or lost, came in for careful treatment by Coach Stevens After scoring the journalistic inaccuracy of a Boston paper which claimed that University crews were being taught "the Washington stroke," be stated that the stroke now being taught at Newell Boat house is the best be knows of and is hardly to be compared with others.

Moving pictures, showing famous crews from the University and other colleges, were thrown on the screen and with the help of slow motion, Coach Stevens pointed out the strokes he had been discussing. Great rowing classics at New London and elsewhere were thrown on the screen together with pictures recently taken in the tank at Newell Boat house.

After seeing the rowers the Union audience saw "Lizzies of the Field" to the tune of popular song hits as rendered by the Crimson Ramblers.
