...Buzz Hovey, another man who managed to keep his position in the second boat this year. However, there is still a wrinkle in his form that needs ironing out. Although a hard worker, Hovey is apt to sky on the recovery and knife in at the catch a little. At three is one of the products of Harvey Love's own teaching, El Moffat, who halls from Bombay, India and had never done any rowing until his Freshman year, last year.
