FIRST FRESHMAN FOUR-OARED CREW WINS CLOSE TRIAL RACE

Rough Water Hampers Boats Over Mile Course in Basin--First Yearling Eight Rows in Four-Oared Shells

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Howe took the Freshman four-oared crews down to the Basin for the first of a series of trial races to be held before May 1. The crew which eventually wins first place as a result of these tryouts will race Exeter, the boat which is second will row Middlesex, the third will meet Pomfret, and the fourth Tabor Academy.

In the race yesterday the four shells stuck close together until near the end, when they drew apart and the first yearling four-oared crew took the lead and was followed across the finish line by Crews 8, 7 and 6. Because of the rough water no time was taken. The seating of the winning crew was as follows: stroke, E. F. Porter; 3, Grinnell Knowles; 2, Donald McVickar; bow, A. B. Davis; coxswain, Graham Veale.

Earlier in the afternoon Coach Howe divided the Freshman eight into two four-oared crews composed respectively of the men in the bow and the men in the stern. In a short brush with the Browne and Nichols four-oared crew, the 1924 bow four came in ahead of the stern four, while the schoolboys trailed.
