The University and Pennsylvania crews were both at work on the Charles yesterday, the Quakers getting out at about 5 o'clock and going downstream, while the Crimson oarsmen went on the river somewhat later and went only as far as the first bridge.
The Pennsylvania eights lived up to the high praise which they have received and showed two powerful, fast combinations as they paddled away from the Weld Boathouse. A prominent critic of rowing has remarked of Pennsylvania's showing two week ago that "any crew that can hit 43 1-2 strokes for a full minute and keep anything like the length in the water that every coach is looking for, will prove hard indeed to beat." Those who saw the Red and Blue crews yesterday will agree with this conclusion; it is evident that the University will have to show all its power to come out a winner tomorrow.
Penn Crews Out Twice Today
Coach Wright is planning to take his men out again today both morning and afternoon and it would not be surprising if at one of these times the men were given a real test over the course they will row tomorrow.
After two days of strenuous rowing, Dr. Howe gave his men rather an easy work-out yesterday afternoon practicing them on racing starts. A. H. Ladd Jr. '23, who rowed against Yale last year replaced R. C. Storey Jr. '24 for the afternoon; it has been definitely announced that the change was only temporary.
There have been several shifts in the two Pennsylvania eights since the Yale races. Waidner and Swan, who rowed 3 and 5 respectively in the first boat have changed places, while in the Junior crew Rugh has come back to his place at 6 and Muggles has gone to 5.
The seating of the University 150-pound crew was announced yesterday as follows: Bow, Leonard Wheeler Jr. '22; 2, Elliott Perkins '23; 3, W. M. Tucker '23; 4, R. H. Thayer '23; 5, John Codman '22; 6, Donald McVickar '24; 7, Oliver La Farge '24; stroke, L. B. Damon '24.
