...Although a hard worker, Hovey is apt to sky on the recovery and knife in at the catch a little. At three is one of the products of Harvey Love's own teaching, El Moffat, who halls from Bombay, India and had never done any rowing until his Freshman year, last year. Then with hard and conscientious work he took a seat in the Freshman shell and this year stepped into the second boat...
...four position, is perhaps the hardest worker of all, Colt Wagner. Last year he was the stroke of the Freshman eight, and showed some of the finest fighting spirit that a stroke could have. Last year he barely tipped the scales at a hundred and seventy pounds, if that, while this year he weighs over a hundred and eighty pounds.

Jack Hill's band was very solid backing and played good swing on its own numbers, Roy Eldridge and Albert Ammons stole the show with their fine jazz, Ella Fitzgerald really made a tremendous hit (she later said to me that she had more fun working the Smoker than anything she had done in a long while) by here very swell singing, and Hildegarde proved herself far more than just a good piano player and better singer by her showmanship...
...problem that used to be a burner, "What's Fred going to do for a stroke?" has been answered by the presence of Randy Fenninger, pace-setter of the Freshman boat last year. Preceded by two brothers on Orange and Black varsity boats, Fenninger has racing in his blood and pounds out a rhythmic as well as a powerful stroke...
