4 Crimson 150 Crews Face Tabor, MIT Here

Four Crimson 150 pound crews brave rough water this afternoon as they face one Tabor and two M.I.T. boats in the Charles River Basin. The freshman first and second shells row at 3 p.m. against the Tabor varsity, followed by the J.V.'s race against the Tech J.V.'s. The Crimson varsity is off at 4 p.m. against the M.I.T. varsity.

Sloppy weather has hampered workouts all week. Both M.I.T. and Crimson crews got on the river, but hold limited practice sessions. In a rough time trial, the Harvard varsity beat out the Yardling crew by a length, with the J.V. beat trailing behind.

Tabor was set to send two crews, but foul weather at Marion kept the seconds indoors until the beginning of this week. Because they lack practice, Coach John Beady has decided to leave them at home and send only his varsity against the freshmen.

One Under the Bolt

After last Saturday's win over Columbia, the Crimson varsity will row today with one race under its belt. The technicians from up the Charles are is their first race of the season.

Only changes in the Harvard lineup since Columbia were made Monday when Coach Reynolds moved Bill Coughlin from the J.V. beat to six spot in the varsity eight, replacing Jim Barrett. Frank May-bank switched with Dan Raykov, taking over his port four oar.

"We've had a pretty good workout all week," says Reynolds. "They've settled down and are working well, despite the weather."

Captain Dick Lincoin will stroke the varsity shell, with Oliver Leland at seven and Bill Coughlin in six seat. Randy Seed holds down five oar and Frank Maybank rows at four. Bill Gray and Bill Lindemulder are in the three and two spots, respectively. Joe Brown and the shell at bow. George Notter will cox.

Four sophomores will row in the M.I.T. crew, with two juniors and two seniors. only the seniors have been in varsity competition before. Tech Coach Time MacMillan calls his crew "definitely inexperienced."

The Crimson junior varsity shell going against the technicians is the same one which beat Columbia last week, except for the two switches with the varsity. Oakes Ames heads the crew as stroke, followed by Bill Lawrence at seven and Jim Barrett at six. Mil Rohrbough rows from five seat. Dan Raykov, Dick Watson, and Mike Leonard will pull the four, three, and two oars. Jerry Silbert fills out the boat at bow. Hugh McCauley will cox.

Lettermen Are Scarce

Tabor's varsity crew which meets the freshman 150's at 3 p.m. has only two returning lettermen from last year's Henley crew--Jim Worthington, rowing at stroke, and Maurice Prindville at five. M.I.T. claims but two experienced oarsmen. Stan Lathrop will stroke and Bill Gerney will row out of the four sport.

The freshman first 150 boat remains uncharged after two months on the water. But Reynolds has shifted several men in the second boat. Peter Viles moved up from six position to stroke. Carter Brown and Mowie Flander have left the "Banana Boat" and will row this afternoon at two and six spots, respectively.

Reynolds will send Thad as first boat cox and Jim Ostreicher as second.
