Because of the loss of Heimrath, who was seriously injured in a motor accident some time ago, and the absence of Ballard, due to sickness, Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, Director of Rowing, has been compelled to make several radical changes in the line-up of the Orange Varsity. At the present time, Clark, who was number 6 on the Freshman eight last year, is stroking the new port-rigged shell though Darnell and Thorne are strong possibilities for the same berth.

As another illustration of the fallacy of blaming athletics for failures in college work, he said that the Yale gymnastic team, thinking it had a match with the University this year, had written asking to cancel it because all their men were on probation. "Here is an activity...
