WHITESIDE MAKES CHANGES IN FIRST UNIVERSITY CREW

Heavy Eights Take Prolonged Work at High Stroke--Race With Cornell and Syracuse Saturday

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

When the Harvard, Cornell and Syracuse eights compete together for the first time in the Cornell regatta Saturday, the seating of the Crimson hoat will present a different appearance from the lineup, which faced Navy, Penn, and Tech last week. J. W. Hallowell '31, who was absent from the eight because of illness, has returned to the crew at number two.

C. F. Hovey '32, who was promoted from the Jayvees to fill Hallowell's old seat, will continue at number four. S. W. Swaim '31, who has been rowing at number two all season, has gone to that seat in the Jayvees.

These changes by Coach Whiteside are the first which have been made public, although it is expected that further alterations in the seating of the Jayvees are forthcoming. Practice this week so far has been extremely stiff; the first and second boats have been going over long stretches at a high stroke, and racing in time trials over two-mile distances. Coach Whiteside is evidently whipping his boats into shape for this week's races, and sparing no pains in the process.

The regatta Saturday on Lake Cayuga, in which the revised crew will participate, in addition to the Jayvee and Freshman eights, will celebrate Cornell's annual Spring Day. In addition to this feature event, the Ithacans will meet Yale in baseball and Penn at tennis.

The Crimson oarsmen, rowing again a week after their defeat at the hands of Navy and Tech, will have some chance in the Lake Cayuga regatta to atone for the only smirch on their short season's record. Their race on Saturday will be over a two-mile course, one a quarter of a mile longer than that in the Basin.
