SOPHOMORES TAKE MEASURE OF CREW C

Athletic Committee Decides, in View of Heavy Schedule, Not to Allow Junior Eight to Compete at Princeton

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Rowing a stroke which, although uniformly high throughout, did not once appear to sacrifice power to speed, the Sophomore A crew took the measure of the third University eight over the Henley distance yesterday afternoon.

The scant three quarters of a length separating the rival shells at the finish testified to the closeness of the struggle. It was a hammer and tongs affair all the way down the course, with Crew C always in a challenging position, but the 1925 oarsmen had a perceptible advantage-sufficient to drive their boat across to a decisive victory. It is probable that the two crews will come together again tomorrow in a race over the Henley distance.

The Junior University eight will not meet the Princeton seconds on Lake Carnegie next Saturday. This decision was made by the Athletic Committee in its meeting last night, the reason being that the Junior schedule is already rather heavy, including races with M. I. T. at Cambridge and Yale at New London in addition to entry in the American Henley at Philadelphia.

The Princeton invasion opens officially today when a party consisting of two riggers, two shells, and second assistant manager Blanchard leaves the South Station this evening. The main body, consisting of the University and Freshman squads with two substitutes each together with the coaches and manager staff, is due to go tomorrow night.
