Bolles Tries Boat Changes in Hunt For Smooth Crew

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Tom Bolles, whose varsity is suffering its worse season since 1946, when it lost everything but the Yale race, tried about three sets of boating changes yesterday in an effort to diagnose his oarsmen's troubles.

All the changes were wholly experimental. Bolles would try a combination, have it row about 40 strokes and then rowing it back to the float to try a new one. This afternoon he will probably pick the combination he intends to use against Cornell Saturday.

Among the more startling switches that Bolles played with was the use of Link Boydon at four and Frank Peale at seven. The specific changes that Bolles tried are inconclusive. What is significant is the very fact that he is juggling his lineups in mid-season. Bolles is usually reluctant to change the position of even one man after the first race and his experimentation yesterday indicates that he is willing to use fairly radical measures to pull his oarsmen out of their clamp.
