ONLY FOUR OF l934 PENN CREW TO ROW IN BLACKWELL
Martin and Burke Not to Be in Pennslvania
 Shell Saturday

Philadelphia, April 3. = Penn sylvania's varsity eight wIll enter the annual Blackwell Cup Regct- ta next Saturday afternoon on tho Echuylkiil river, with only four members of the combination that rowed second to Yale in the same event Q year ago.
 For one reason and another the -four members of last years frs. crew who will not row with the varsity include Peter Reed, stroke; Chester Dun, bow; Willard Martin, land Joseph Burk, 5. The loss If che last two named from the waist of the boat is the most serious suffered by the Red and Blue. Martin and Burke are regarded by Coach Rusty Callow as two of the strongest men he has had rowing for him since he started his Penn. eylvania coaching career in 1927.
 Same Stroke
 Lloyd Saxton, who rowed num- Der 6 in 1884 will sit in the pact setting stroke seat a week hence. Charles Swift, at seven, retains the post he held year ago, while Fred Wakelin who rowed two last season, will do his bladework from four this year and Jack Peabody, who graced the three seat on the Harlem last year, will occupy the bow position on the Schuylkill. :.
 Twof reshman oarsmen of 19S4, one junior varsity member of last season, and an oarsmen who did not row last year but occupied a seat on the freshman eight of 1888, will sit with the four veterans.
 Edward Farrell, at six and Walt Zwarg, at three, rowed in the yearling eight that scored the only Red and Blue victory last year i'll the Blackwell Cup regatta. Burt Webster, four in the junior var sity eight will occupy number 2 against the Columbia and Yale varsities, while James Magee, an absentee last year, will occupy tie live position.
 Ernest Cane who held the tiller ropes in all the important races of last season, will perform the same functions next Saturday.
 Pennsylvania has yet to win a Blackwell Cup varsity race. Not since 1927 when the series started has a Red and Blue tipped oar crossed the finish line ahead of Yale or Columbia. The Blue hs.s won six times and Columbia twice.
 Last year three Pennsylvania crews finished second to Yale and the fourth, the yearling eight, won from the Bulldog first year mer. Graduation and other causes have riddled the 150 pound varsity eight that won the Joseph Wright trophy, emblematic of the intercol- legiate championship. The fresh. man eight has suffered from a loss of key men via the scholastic route and the junior varsity will be conn posed almost exclusively of sopho- mores.
 The four races will be rowed over the regular Henley course on the Schuylkill of one mile and five sixteenths. While definite starting times have not been announced hy c. Louis Boris, 3rd, chairman of Pennsylvania's rowing committee, 1t is expected that the 150 pourd race will start at 3:S0 followed by the freshman race, at 4:15, the junior varsity, forty-five minutes later and the varsity at 5:45.
 Yale and Columbia are expect ed to arrive here Friday morning. Tho coaches of the crews, Ed Leader, of Yale and Hube Glen don. of Columbia, will send the:r charges over the course botlt morning and afternoon.
 Pennsylvania's athletic teams will take part in ten engagements during next week, the first of the extensive Spring program that has been arranged for them. The track team meets Yale at New Haven, next Saturday in tho first of two dual meets on the schedule.
 The important baseball tiff with Columbia, favcrite for the Eastern Intercollegiate league crown, will be played on Franklin field next Wednesday afternoon. GcIf, ten his and lacrosse teams also swing into action during the week.
