...family tradition for Jock Whitney to row at Yale; he stroked the 1926 junior varsity. When his father died, he had just finished a year at Oxford. Since then-though he belongs definitely to the more conservative branch of the family, in whom the prudent Payne blood runs strong-he has begun to blossom out as befits a young man with a fortune estimated at $100,000,000.

The clerk records the bet; during the race, the odds on each horse are determined with mathematical fairness in ratio to the amount of money bet on each...
This decision involves a radical change in policy, since it breaks the long-established tradition of restricting the use of Newell Boat House to Upperclass crews. For years all spring and fall Freshman rowing activities have centered in Weld Boat Club and it has been customary for the Freshmen to row at Newell during the winter months, in order to make use of the indoor tank, but they have always returned to Weld in the spring...
