With gloomy skies and a somber lake, Sunday, May 13, presented the Crimson oarsmen with a less than inspiring day. It had been an eventful evening prior to the races. Last-minute reservations had forced Harvard into a Route 9 motel for what one oarsman described as "horsemeat for dinner and Frisbees for breakfast."

Thus, the trainer's role is reduced to one of care and conditioning of the animals, who are fed a strict diet of horsemeat, beef, meal and vitamins...
THIS SPECULATION leads to the prophecies of a Cassandra, but the prospect of statehood does evoke ghoulish images.

At the Bank of America headquarters in San Francisco, bleary...
Trained Killers. The dogs that make or break an evening are a pampered group, brought up on a princely diet of beef, horsemeat and vitamin supplements. They run at speeds up to 45 m.p.h. Like major league pitchers, dogs are rested for at least four days between contests. During that respite, they spend two hours a day in open walking pens and five minutes on a treadmill called a walking machine. Most dogs are retired after two years of racing...
