TIGER CREW TO
FACE HARVARD
IS BIT GREEN
Many New Men in Boat
Which Will Meet Test
on Thursday.

Princeton will stage the first collie
giate crew race Of the season next
Thursday. when the Tiger varsity and
Junior varsity Fights meet the first and
second Harvard crews over the mile
and seven ghths course on Carnegie
Lake. Yale and Pennsylvania will row
in Philadelphia two days later
The late winter ha, handicapped both
the Princeton and Harvard crews. At
Princeton Dr. Spaeth. the faculty coach
Of the crew, was not able 10 get his
charges on the water until March % on
account Of the presence OF ice in the
lake. Last year the first spin on the
water came on February "a. As a con-
sequence the men will have had only
about three weeks OF actual practice
before the race.
This year Princeton is forced TO de-
velop an almost entirely new crew.
There are only two men available who
rowed in the varsity boat last year,
and 50 the late start is proving unusu-
ally hard TO overcome. Lee at No.
and Captain Cochran are the only men,
bers Of the 1915 eight who are rowing
this year, and they were both IN a
varsity boat for the first time last
season. llarvard's handicap is not 50
large one as Princeton's, because Il
has six men left from its last years
crew.
With 30 many new men TO try out.
Princeton has hardly had time to
select the best combination from the
large number Of candidates who re
ported AZ the beginning Of the season.
The race with Harvard will serve as
a ;est Of the present combination, and
may determine the solution Of the
Tigers most urgent problem, the
choice OF a stroke TO take the place
Of Putnam, who stroked the crew for
three wears and captained il last year
At the present time Cochran has been
shifted to stroke and Sturges, who
stroked the second crew last year, has
been returned TO that position. He
will be the stroke of the Tiger eight
that races the Harvard junior crew,
and much will depend upon the rela-
tive showing Of the Fights.
There will be only about twenty
practice spins before the race for each
crew. and DR.. Spaoth summed up the
condition Of affairs at Princeton when
he said: "What the crew needs is
plenty Of mileage. and the next two
or three weeks will show very rapid
improvement"
