...boat is Dick Ninde, the hardest and most consistent worker on the crew. Last year Dick was an oarsman on the Jayvee crew, but it is far from a natural occurrence that he should be on the crew again this year.

While in practice he keeps his form well under control, he is apt to shoot his slide a little under the stress of a race. Setting the pace for the second eight is Jack Wilson, who only tips the scale at 167. However, Wilson is strong and extra good on the low strokes.
