Yesterday the 'varsity crew was out in a shell for the first time since the epidemic of sickness compelled the crews to abandon the river. The order in which the men rowed is radically different from anything heretofore tried, and may be said to be permanent. The most significant change is that of Bullard to stroke. Hollister, who has rowed at that position during most of the season, is rather slow, and is also too inexperienced for the most important position in the boat. Fennessy and Watriss, the two most finished oarsmen in the crew, at 7 and 6 respectively, have the ability to pass up about any sort of stroke Captain Bullard chooses to set. Hollister is at No. 5, and Stevenson, when he returns, will be at No. 4. His place at present is filled by Fox '96. Damon retains his place at No. 3, while Shepard is moved up to No. 2. Lewis rows bow.

Only a light practice row was taken yesterday, as it was the first time out. Watriss coached the crew. The order was: Stroke, Bullard; 7, Fennessy; 6, Watriss; 5, Hollister; 4, Fox; 5, Damon, 2, Shepard; bow, Lewis.

The crew will probably go to New London on the 31st of the month.
