The first Harvard crew season under the guidance of Coach Tom Bolles got under way officially last night at a meeting at the Variety Club attended by about 100 oarsmen.
Captain Eddie Bennett, fifties coach Bert Haines and Bolles were the speakers, and moving pictures of the Harvard crews racing Yale at New London last spring were shown, as well as a few shots of several Bolies-coached Washington eights.
Work will start in earnest on Monday when tentative seatings will be announced for the first time, and the crews will drill in the tank until the ice goes out.
Of the Varsity four-mile crew which defeated Yale last spring five veterans are back, Chance, Clark, Erickson, Austin, and Bennett, Six oarsmen are back from the Jayvees, while all the members of the undefeated '39 boat are on hand.
Ahead of the first boat lies a tough schedule, opening on April 24 with the Compton Cup Regatta at Princeton. Columbia, Tech, Cornell, Syracuse, Navy, Penn and Yale are also in the offing.
