SHIFT MADE IN FIRST EIGHT

Murray and Soucy Changed Places.--Wray Stroked for Half a Mile.

Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 14, 1914. A shift was made in the University eight Saturday morning, Murray going to seven and Soucy to three. The change appeared to benefit the crews considerably. Wray stroked the first boat for half a mile and got the men to rowing a harder finish. All the crews paddled three miles. The Freshman and second eights took a short swim at noon to cool off, the University waiting until after the evening rowing for their plunge.

In the afternoon the Freshman four beat the scrub four by half a length in a mile race. The second crew then went over the Henley distance at a high stroke but no time was taken. The stroke was high, 34 to 38 a minute. Finally, the first crew rowed three miles downstream in a little over 16 minutes. The good effect of the morning row with Wray in the boat was still noticeable. The Freshmen took only a short paddle.

The University crews spent today in Gardiners Bay, Long Island, on Mr. Berrick's boat, Gypsy, getting in a short swim. The Freshmen went to Ocean Beach for their swim and lunched at the Griswold.
