ing this week with the loss Of two
OF the strongest candidates for varsity
crews and the possibility that two
others may not try for positions.
Louis NJ. Mills. who rowed in the
varsity eight two years ago and last
year until after the Cornell race, has
completed his requirements for a de-
gree and will leave college shortly. r.
J.. D. Fuller OF last years varsity four
has quit rowing to devote himself to
study.
+. II. Trumbull, who rowed Nc. .
on the varsity eight last season, is
suffering from a misplaced vertebrae
and will be unable to practice for
at least two months. If his condition
improves sufficiently he may try for
"a place in the eight after the Annap-
oils race in April. 1t is also doubtful
whether 9. NJ. MacVacar Of last
years varsity eight will be a candidate
for the crew this year.
As three members of the varsity
eight were graduated last June. it will
be necessary to find new material for
