Some changes have been made in the University crew. Yesterday Perkins was changed from 4 to 6, and Upham went back to 4. The men were Jones, stroke, Goddard 7, Perkins 6, Tilton 5, Upham 4, Watriss 3, Hutchinson 2, Hartridge bow.

They have been changing the order of the men in the boat a good deal lately. Monday they rowed as follows: Keyes, stroke; Earle, 7; Nelson, 6; Kelton, 5; Vail, 4 davis, 3; Hathaway, 2; Burgess, bow. They seemed to be doing quite well, though of course a freshman crew cannot row a shell on its keel the first few days...
