known of their prospects in the com-ing regatta.

Lost by Inexperience"Inexperience in racing," was Coach

Haines remark when asked about thedefeat of the Varsity by the Tigereight last Saturday. Although it wvasthe first race this season for theTigers, the crew was virtually thesame eight that threatened Californiain the Olympic trials, losing by abare eight feet to the World Cham-pions.

Whether Technology will enter thePoughkeepsie Regatta or not, due totheir defeat by Princeton, is still un-decided, and will probably depend onthe showing the Engineers make therest of the season.

Harvard Won Last YearIn the race against the Engineers

last year, the Crimson oarsm~en wonout by a scant margin of three feet,the closest ever rowed on the Charles.This year Harvard will -put a newcrew on the water against Technology,three of last year's boatmen havinggraduated, Watts, the Harvard strokelast year, being among the Crimsonoarsmen to leave. With just four daysleft bef ore the race, the crew thatwill race the first Technology eightis still unpicked, both boats havingrowed a dead heat in a trial heldrecently.

Freshmen Race TodayThis afternoon the second fresh-

man eight, and the yearling 150 poundboats -will race Harvard over theHenley distance at five o'clock. Thiswill be the first race for the yearlings,but both boats feel confident of win-ning. Should the water be as roughas it has been for the past few days,the boats will probably race in theupper Basin.
