COACH HAINES DIRECTED OARSMEN

The University and Freshman crews started another lap on the 1916 practice yesterday. Work was done on the machines and in the tank by University A and B and the first two Freshman crews under Coach Haines, while the other crews rowed on the machines only. E. W. Soucy '16 returned to practice and took his place at 3 in University B. There were no other changes in the upper boats, although among the lower Freshman crews many shifts were made.

The weather this year seems bound to keep the men indoors, for the drop in temperature on Saturday night dashed the hopes of getting on the river soon. The dates which the first crews have been on the river in recent years are as follows: 1912, March 14; 1913, March 4; 1914, March 9; 1915, February 16. Thus if this year's crew succeeds in getting out within ten days the date will be well up with average. Last year's date was phenomenal, so there is no reason to be discouraged at present conditions.

The present order of the University crews is as follows:

University A.--Stroke, C. C. Lund '16; 7, H. B. Cabot, Jr. '17; 6, D. P. Morgan '16; 5, T. E. Stebbins '17; 4, K. B. G. Parson '16; 3, J. B. Talcott, Jr. '16; 2, F. W. Bush '16; bow, N. Brazer '18.

University B.--Stroke, J. C. White, Jr. '17; 7, H. A. Quimby '18; 6, H. S. Middendorf '16; 5, J. W. Middendorf '16; 4, K. P. Culbert '17; 3, E. W. Soucy '16; 2, M. Taylor '18; bow, D. A. Coolidge, Jr. '17.
