PROVISIONAL CREW CHOSEN

Owing to the nearness of the Cornell race, which will be held on the Charles on May 27, the trial eights have been given up, and a University crew was yesterday chosen provisionally and sent out in the following order:

Stroke, Farley; 7, George; 6, Filley; 5, Kellogg; 4, McLeod; 3, Flint; 2, Judd; bow, Burchard.

No work was done yesterday in the four-oar shell, but a second University eight was sent out as follows:

Stroke, Shepard; 7, Corlett; 6, Bacon; 5, Meler; 4, Montgomery; 3, Gill; 2, Pleasonton; bow, Tappan.

Since the cut made in the squad subsequent to the race between the three trial eights on April 1, the work has shown fairly consistent improvement. The catch and beginning of the stroke are distinctly better, though there is generally a lack of drive, and the men are showing a persistent tendency to rush. On Tuesday the two trial eights had several short brushes with each other and with the Senior class crew. In a three minute brush upstream Farley's eight defeated the Senior crew; Filley's boat came in third. Some time before the end of the week, the University eight, possibly together with the second crew and the Senior eight, will row on time over the three and three eighth mile course.
