Several changes were made in the order of the second University crew yesterday. Ayer, who was unable to row at Ithaca on account of the rules governing the regatta, was put back at 7, and Haycock was moved to 5. Derby, who has been rowing at 4, and Ober, who has been at 3, changed placed. As a result of this shake-up the work was rather unsatisfactory. The first crew rowed in unchanged order. The men were better together, but seemed unable to keep their boat on an even keep. Coach Higginson, during the first part of the practice, gave special attention to individual members of the crew laying particular stress on the blade work. On the way back to the boathouse from Harvard Bridge both crews practiced the Cornell stroke, which consists in pulling the oar rapidly through the water and taking a great deal of time on the recover. In this stroke the oars are trained very close to the water, the feather is carried back to the full reach, and a quick turn-over is made. The orders of the crews were as follows:

First crew--Stroke, McGrew; 7, Lawson; 6, Filley; 5, Duffy; 4, F. w. C. Foster; 3, George; 2, Wolcott; bow, Swaim; cox., Litchfield.

Second crew--Stroke, Dillingham; 7, Ayer; 6, R. Foster; 5, Haycock; 4, Ober; 3, Derby; 2, Webster; bow, Minturn; cox., Ivy.
