MEDE-PERSIAN CREW SERIES HE Mede-Persian crew season got under way with two virtually new crews, both of last year's boats having gone up to the school crews. After a few changes the first club crews were as follows: PERSIANS MEDES Bow VVhite Bow Thayer 2 Hobbs 2 Converse 3 J. P. VVare 3 Rogers 4 Spencer 4 Schell Cox B. Norris Cox W. Rackemann On May 19th, before the Brooks third crew race with Roxbury-Latin, both of the Mede-Persian crews had their first race. In the seconds, E. Norris stroked his crew to victory over the Mede four, by one and one half lengths in three minutes twenty-five seconds. The first club crew race started shortly afterwards with the Medes a decided favorite, but several bad crabs in their boat ruined any hope of a Mede victory, and Spencer stroked his crew over the line almost two lengths ahead of the Medes in the very good time of three minutes and five seconds. The next race came almost a week later on May 25th. As the second Medes were getting their boat out R. Sturgis hurt his leg, and proved unable to rowg the race, therefore had to be cancelled. After several Persian mishaps, the first crews managed to start. Schell jumped the Persian boat at the start, but at the Rock, Spencer's crew managed to fill up the gap and the crews re- mained practically even up to the last four hundred yards when the Persians began to forge slowly ahead. At the finish an oar came out of a lock killing any chance of a last minute Mede sprint, and the Persians crossed the line several seconds ahead of the Medes in three minutes seventeen seconds. Mr. Spock and Mr. Holcombe are to be congratulated for making up two such crews from boys who were entirely new at the sport. W. R. SHRIGLEY 21

Tl-Ili BISHOP HH BISHOP this year has done nothing very original except revert to the old White cover for the ordinary numbers as well as for the unbound copies of the Yearbook. We did this because it seemed to the board to he a generally far more artistic and attractive cover than the plain green one. For next year, although it is debatable whether a large or a small manag- ing board is more ellicient, we thought it best to elect six members. The hoard will be: E1fit0r-i11-C!1i1jf.- Lorenzo Semple lll l,liff'7'll7zV EIfff07'.l'.' .lohn Turner and Dean li.
