Brown '96 plans to settle today the question of supremacy among the recently rearranged A, B, C, and D crews by a regulation mile and three quarters test.

On next Tuesday, it is expected, he will switch the boatings. It is likely now that he will hold all of the candidates, shifting the order so that the more promising candidates will be in three boats instead of scattered, as now is the case...
