Love's Jayvees had no such luck, however. With the Crimson leading by over a length only forty strokes from the end of the race, the oarlock on number two's rigger broke, and the oar came out. Two-man Swede Sundqvist missed one stroke, then threw the loose oar out of the boat, and followed it by diving out himself, the crew finishing with only seven rowers. Princeton sprinted when the Tiger coxswain saw the accident, closed the gap, and passed the Crimson, winning by half a length...

On Thursday and Friday there will be stiff workouts both morning and afternoon with a short run scheduled for Saturday morning...
