Harvard plans no special strategy or experimentation for today's effort. Coach Harry Parker shifted his veterans around to new positions during pre-season practice to get the best possible combination with the talents of the new men, but the crew will start at its usual 40-plus strokes per minute and settle to a steady 36-37 for the race today...
