"It is high time for France to take stock of herself and make in peace the recovery she was able to make in 1914 in the midst of battle ..." commented...
...charter boat, under stroked the Middles most of the way, and finally, when the tired Middles dropped their count, the Crimson pulled ahead. Ed Mathews stroked the Crimson, with Steve Ells at the seven oar; Gary Markstaller at six; Reger Hearne, five; Charlie Cunningham, four; Bruce Martin, three; Parker Pond, two; and Fred Cashing, bow.
