...White and Blue Freshman crews, which have been rowing in Lap-streak Barges for the past few days, will use shells for the first time today. They have been definitely ranked, the Red and White crews heading the list, with the Blue crew acting as a boat of substitutes. Coach Shaw is searching high and low for heavy first year material.
