SECOND CREWS WILL ROW AT INVITATION REGATTA

SCHOOL EIGHTS ENTERED

Plans for the third annual Invitation Regatta to be held on the Charles the afternoon of May 25 have assumed a form of finality with the receipt of confirmation from New Haven that Yale has agreed to the advancing of the second University crew race from June 1 to the day of the regatta. As originally planned, the contest between the two second crews was to have taken place at Cambridge on the same day that the first eights rowed at New Haven. The new arrangement, however, is now assured by the Yale rowing management's acquiescence, as approval has been informally expressed by the athletic committees of both universities.

The feature of the regatta will be the race between the University and Yale 1921 boats over the mile and seven-eighths course. Next in interest will rank the contest over the same distance between the second crews of those uni-equities. There will also be a clash between the Eliot and Thayer club crews, which will be made up of men from the lower University boats. Such a division has already been tentatively made from members of the third and fourth eighths, but Coach Brown has not yet settled on a definite seating order. In addition to the races for University crews, as in former years, there are scheduled championship contests for neighboring preparatory and high schools. Invitations have been sent all those entered in the past two seasons and it is expected that the usual number will compete. However, all the races will be held on one afternoon, and not extended over three or four days, as has been the custom. Comp, single scull and wherry races, open to all members of the University, will also be held. For both the preparatory school and intramural contests suitable medals will be awarded by the H. A. A.
