While the large squad worked out in

invention of Coach Ten Eyck. The
freshmen were started on the rowing
machines, but soon were promoted to
work In the shell.
During the first week of practice on
the outlet great deal Of difficulty was
met with in the form OF floating cakes
Of ice. One OF the shells was slightly
damaged by the ice, but was repaired

Coach I'm Coxswain's Seat.
Ten Eyck has been occupying the
coxswain's seat in the frosh shell ever
since practice started. He has two rea-
sons for doing this. First, the coaching
launch Is icebound in the Oswego Canal
and consequently cannot be used at
present. Secondly, the "Old Man" will
not intrust the direction of shell to
an untried freshman candidate SO early
in tie season. BY getting in the frosh
shell the coach can correct the blade
work and technique of the yearlings. at
the same time insuring against damage
to the shell. The freshman candidates
must pick up their knowledge from ex-
perience in the old four cared shells,
which are not so valuable.
