The varsity crew, encouraged by excellent practice times over the Red Top course, will oppose a heavily favored Yale crew Saturday in the traditional meeting between the two teams. The Crimson aggregation has held intensive practce for the past two weeks and has tunred in a 21:03 time for the four-mile distance which they will row Saturday.

In his usual manner, coach Harvey Love has shaken hs lineup quite a bit in attempting to find a winning combination to cope with a Yale boat which boasts five members of last years Olympic champion squad. Yale will be seeking its fourth straight win over the Crimson.

Nick Tilney will take over the bow position for this race, and veteran bow John Lapsley will move to the number seven oar. Bob McLaughlin will occupy the important cox position, and Fred Schwartz will be stroke. The rest of the boat will be Art Hodges, two; Jim McClennon, three; Jim Leonard, four; Peter Tulloch, five; and Charlie Faulkner, six.
