New Princeton
Varsity Grew
Shows Power
Acting Captain Terry Only
Man to Keep Original
Place in Big Shake-Up
From Special Correspondent


PRINCETON, N. j., April 17-After
a week of final experimentation on his
varsity, which combines the best points
toms rowing director, has brought to-
gether an eight that probably will re-
main the varsity with little change un-
til the season is under way. The new
varsity, which continues the best points
of the old varsity and junior varsity,
took the water as a unit Tor the first
time late this week, and was seated as
follows:
Stroke, Bob Campbell; No. 7, Brig
ham; No. 6, Creswell No 8, Milne; No.
4, Cooke; No. 3, Page; No. 2, Acting
Captain Terry; bow, McAlpin.
Acting Captain Terry is the only man
of the varsity who has kept his orig
inal place. The other members Of the
eight as it now stands were last week
either in different varsity seats or in
the junior shell which repeatedly de-
feated the varsity in the trial races.
All hope of having Captain Lamont
back at stroke, or even in the boat, by
the time of the Harvard race, which
opens Princeton's season on May l, was
given up this week with the announce
ment that the Tiger leaders dislocated
knee is not mending as rapidly as had
been expected. Lamont still is on
will put his training far behind
AS soon as this was known DR.. Spaeth
began to break up his crack junior
varsity combination, which all spring
has been able to give lengths handi
cap to the varsity over the regular two
mile course. Campbell was given q
trial at stroking the varsity twice lur-
ing the early part Of the week, and was
finally shifted back to the juniors for
one spin just before the big shake-up in
order to compare his work with that
of Creswell
Creswell fine oar for the center
of the boat, has had little experience
at stroking, and Campbell showed a
decided edge in his judge of pace and
in keeping the boat together. Cres-
we'll, too good man to leave out of
the shell, was taken from stroke of
the Junior boat, where he has been
most Of the week, and seated at No
of the varsity. Brigham, who has been
the practices, is the coach's choice for
No. 7.
Milne at No. of the reconstructed
varsity, has, like Terry, been q member
of the first eight all spring, but his
regular place until this week has been
at No. z. He wars captain of the crack
freshman eight last year, and although
he has never been in varsity race is
not lacking in experience. Cooke is
now rowing No. 4, having been moved
back two seats in the shake-up. Curtis,
who has been rowing varsity No. A until
this week, has been shifted 10 this seat
in the new junior varsity, while Bryan,
until now No. 3 in the varsity, has left
the boat for No. in the junior shell.
Bryan has been member of the var
sity for two seasons and his retire
ment to the second boat was a surprise
His place went to Page, a sophomore
who has been rowing at bow all win
ter and spring. McAlpin took Pages
place at bow on the new crew.
Terry retained his place at No. g
He is perhaps the strongest oar in the
eight and has never been in danger
Of losing his seat. Cox Rosenbaum
also managed to survive the upheaval
and is still wearing the varsity mega
phone, which he has not lost for three
years.
The Junior crew underwent an even
more thorough ovcrhauling than the
varsity and has surrendered much of
it's speed with the exodus of its stars
to the varsity she'll. Leh is now
stroking with the veteran Bryan at
No. Z and Chisholm at No. 8. Chsho I'm
is better man, rowing in a varsity
race last year. and received several
try-outs in the first boat early in the
week Martin has been moved ur
from the third crew to No. s, and Cur
tiss back to No. from the varsity.
Jones is still at No. 3 and Bowman at
No. 2, but McKinnon at bow is new
conner from the third crew. Scull is
the junior coxswain.
When the varsity and the junior boat
first took to the water late this week
DR.. Spaeth sent them over the regular
two-mile course on Lake Carnegie
Despite the fact that the varsity had
never rowed together before they nosed
out the third crew by more than
length, although this eight has been
more than a match for the first she'll
all spring. The new junior varsity
was left nearly four lengths behind
Captain Lamont followed the var
sity in the coaching launch to-day, and
afterward expressed the opinion that
the present varsity is far better than
the former combination.
