Perhaps for Haines. The only definite statement he made, and he made this with particular stress, was that the second lightweights were exceptional and that they constantly kept within two lengths of the varsity. This has been proved in practice. Bob Homans has with confidence stroked his eight to within the seven minute margin between the two crews with unbelievable regularity...
