...practice. Of the seven returning oarsmen who rowed together at Honley last year, Bolles has only kept six together. Sherm Gray has been put at stroke in last year's Freshan boat which has been kept intact. Gray was certainly one of the best, if not the best, oarsman of the Henley crew, and while he is a fairly large crewman, it seems logical that Holles should give him a try at stroke...

In the bow position for another year is Gordon Gilkey, the only other senior in the boat. Gilkey is a reliable oarsman and pulls a large amount of water. He will be hard to replace next year...
