...Shift in Combination...
Coach Edward Leader made a shift in the seating of the Yale boat in the light workout today. Warren, who has been ill, was set at No. 3, taking the place of Paschall, who has rowed in that seat since the Blue crew came to the Thames. It is likely that this change will establish the permanent lineup of the Eli shell...
...that G. E. Donaghy '29 will cover shortstop and that W. P. Elison '27 will roam right field, since this combination offers the strongest hitting attack. In late games especially against southpaws. Donaghy has gone to right and R. C. Sullivan '27 has played short, and a last minute shift by Coach F. G. Mitchell may send this combination into the field
...Sullivan, a left-handed batter, was placed in the lineup to add to the team's strength at bat. He went in for Donaghy at short, while the latter's ability both at the plate and in the field kept him in the game at right field. This same shift in the lineup will be maintained today against Creson, the southpaw pitcher who will face the Crimson sluggers. It is possible that Lord will be replaced at first by Tobin, another lefthanded batter, while Duchin's liking for the left approach to the plate may conceivably cause his substitution...
...Dobens should start the game in the box for the Purple, Coach F. G. Mitchell will probably shift his lineup in order to send righthanded hitters against the formidable southpaw. J. E. Tobin '27 will take the place of W. W. Lord '28 on first base, while I R. Duchin '27 will be behind the plate instead of Henry Chauncey '28 if Dobens mounts the mound in the first inning. Lord and Channcey are stronger batters than their substitutes, but both swing the bat from the side of the plate nearest first base...
