FRESHMAN OARSMEN BRAVE ICY CHARLES IN LEVIATHAN

Braving the icy waters of the Charles yesterday afternoon, the Freshman oarsmen set out in the Leviathan for their first out-door workout of the season.

Bert Haines, Freshman crew coach, took the first trip at 2.30 o'clock, setting a course up the river beyond the Cambridge Hospital, where the ice became so thick that further progress was impossible. Haines hopes to have the floats put down by the early part of next week, and expects to get the shells in the water as soon as possible thereafter.
