The University 150-pound crews, with their seating arrangements definitely decided by Coach C. S. Heard '25 since the vacation practice period on the Houstonic river, have started stiff training this week for the opening race with M. T. T. on May 5.

Yesterday, the election of Ward Irvin Gregg '28 of Calumet, Michigan, as captain of the 150-pound oarsmen for the 1928 season was announced. Gregg is an Exeter graduate and rowed No. 6 on the first shell last year. He will continue at this position during the spring.

The 150-pound crews since their practice skirmishes with the Kent School eights on April 11, have been taking daily distance jaunts on the Charles, preparatory to a time trial scheduled for today or tomorrow. Coach c. S. Heard '25, who has been ill the past few days, plans to hold time trials regularly twice a week from now on in order to have his charges in top-form for their regatta with Yale and Princeton at Derby, Connecticut, on May 19.

The competition for places on the first eight this spring has not yet ended, according to Coach Heard. He will continue to alternate James de Normandie '29 and F. B. Lee '29 at stroke in order to arrive at a decision concerning their duel for the pace-maker's post. One other change in the seating made recently was the shift of F. E. Farnsworth '29 to a starboard oar at No. 3 in order to make place for Lee at No. 4.

The present line-up for the first two 150-pound crews is as follows:

Crew a. Stroke, James de Normandie '29, 7, H. W. Bragdon '28; 6, W. I Gregg 5, G. T. Boister '28; 4, F. B. Lee '29: 3, F. E. Farnsworth '29, 2, J. A. Swords '29; bow, O. S. Staples '30; coxswain, R. W. Herr '28.
