...Charles. In the University race, rowed over the Henley distance in the basin, the crew stroked by P. H. Watts '31 was victor by a margin of six feet over the second boat to finish, stroked by D. B. Lawrence '31. About two and a half lengths behind Lawrence's crew was that of S. W. Swaim '32. One length to the rear was the crew of R. W. Pearson '31. This race was the final outdoor one for the year, and after a layoff, crew candidates will report for indoor practice, which is held on the machines...

Time and again he would fake the crossbuck and then turning ahead march through large openings in the Dartmouth forward wall before meeting the slightly flatfooted secondary. Or again he would waltz of tackle and gingerly dodge his way to open or near open territory...

The comparison between lightweight crews and football teams is slightly tenuous, inasmuch as physical limitations are more definitely prescribed in crew than in football. Lack of weight or height precludes the possibility of pulling a sweep on the varsity crew, whereas football is full of notable exceptions where weight has given way to courage and power...
