OARSMEN START REGULAR WORK FOR 1922 SEASON

Experienced University Crew Men Instruct Freshmen on Principles of Stroke--Assistant Coaches in Charge at Newell and Weld

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yesterday saw the new crew system in actual working use for the first time. The experienced University oarsmen were occupied in coaching the Freshmen and in running, the inexperienced University men were concentrating on the machines, while the Freshmen were fulfilling their work on the machines at Weld.

The experienced University men, in three squads of twenty men each, coached the yearlings, instructing them on the principles of inboard work on the machines. Yesterday there was work on the tank for only a few of the Freshmen, but running was prescribed for all. Among the men coaching were G. M. Appleton '22, stroke of last year's University crew; Walter-Amory, Clay Hollister, A. S. Hobson, Parker Hamilton, and B. H. Burnham, of the 1924 yearling crew, and C. K. Cummings Jr. '23, R. F. Bradford '23, and S. M. Duncan '22, of the second University crew.

The inexperienced University men spent the afternoon in Newell concentrating on the machines.

There was little work on the tanks yesterday afternoon chiefly because Coach Bert Haines sent the Freshmen on a run after their hour of work on the machines, rather than give them work on the tank in addition on the first day of practice. But after things have settled down to a regular routine all the yearlings will row on the tank on Mondays and Fridays and the inexperienced men on Wednesdays as well.

At present in the absence of Dr. Howe, who is sick, the assistant coaches are in direct charge of all the work. Coaches E. J. Brown '96 and William Haines are in charge of Newell and Coaches Bert Haines and Delmar Leighton 2G.B. are in charge of the Freshmen at Weld.
