COACH SHAW SHAKES UP FRESHMAN CREWS

The week of daily ten-mile pulls on the Charles by the Freshmen crews under Coach Shaw resulted in severe shakeups in the personnel of the first two crews. Because the heavier men who at first had been placed in the Red Crew did not reach expectations, Coach Shaw carried out his threat of replacing them with lighter oarsmen.

In the new seating arrangement, Barrett Scudder replaces W. K. Rice as stroke of the Red Crew. D. H. Bowles remains at seven, J. M. Gates is at six, replacing W. P. Locke, Clarence Whitman is at seat five, J. P. Hall, who formerly stroked the four oared shell, is now at four, while George Bancroft, Edwin Farnham, and J. H. Perkins 2nd are at three, two, and bow respectively.

White Crew Inexperienced

In the White Crew, Coach Shaw has grouped a combination of heavy, inexperienced men, some of whom he hopes will develop sufficiently to merit advancement. This crew averages ten pounds heavier than the Red boat.

In the first real brush of the year, the Red Crew defeated the University 150-pound and the White crews by over two lengths last Saturday. No time was taken, but the Red crew rowed well. In the first scheduled race of the year next Saturday, a four, stroked by Richardson White, with C. D. Eohlen at seat three, O. H. Pendar at number two, and H. C. Pierce at bow, will oppose an Exeter four this Saturday. These men are among the best oarsmen on the squad, being kept out of the Red crew, according to Coach Shaw, only because they are too small.
