Both the heavies and lightweights were forced to cancel two-thirds of the normal number of days spent on the river before vacation. The result of the late winter ice, the fifteen extra days in the tank have set the crews two weeks behind the majority of their opponents...
Though slighted on practice time the lightweights' prospects are not as bad as they would seem. The first boat, set at least for today's race, has recorded some good times considering the late conditions. Stroked by Tom Alberg, the eight clocked the mile and a sixteenth upstream course in seven minutes, four seconds on Wednesday...
...Freshman heavies, though also hindered by a late start, have shown great potential. On Tuesday, in a mile and three quarters race against the varsity and JV boats, the first Freshman boat finished only a length behind...
...sixteenths Henley distance the crews have turned in very good times. On Wednesday and Thursday the varsity rowed the course in 6:43 and 6:44, excellent for so early in the season. There is no doubt, however, that the Crimson has been decidedly hampered this spring by the late thaw of the Charles, which greatly reduced the number of practices before spring vacation. As a consequence the rowing of all the lightweight crews is rougher and less precise than at a comparable time last year...
