THREE ELECTED TO LEAD FRESHMAN SPORT TEAMS

Three Freshman teams chose their leaders for the spring yesterday afternoon. Richard Henry O'Connell, of Cambridge, was picked to captain the first year track men, Morton Cole of Hingham to lead the 150-pound crew, and Lawrence Milton Shapiro of Brooklyn, N. Y., to pilot the first year lacrosse men.

R. H. O'Connell prepared at Exeter where he was captain of the football team and for two years the leading hurdler on the track team. He played end on the 1929 eleven last fall and has been running in the hurdles and the sprints this spring. In the first meet of the season last Saturday, which the first year men lost to Andover, he took first in both the high and low hurdles, although the latter event has hitherto been his sole specialty.

Beat University 150-Pounders

Morton Cole has been stroking the first Freshman 150-pound crew most of the season but was recently moved to number 2 where he rowed at Browne and Nichols last year. Two years ago he stroked the Browne and Nichols second crew, and last year was captain of the first. The first year outfit has been showing unusual power in its recent trial races with other Freshman and with University crews.

Its most notable achievement so far was in an informal race with the first University 150-pounders last Saturday. The Freshmen pulled away from their more mature rivals to win by a good two lengths.

Shapiro, a graduate of Erasmus High School, who has been chosen to lead the 1929 stickmen, is a new man at lacrosse, never having played before this year. This season he has shown up well at the position of second attack, and will probably play in that position in the Yale Freshman game on May 22, at New Haven.
