Whether or not the opponents prove to be tough, Haines will have one big factor in his favor. Half of the past two seasons' winning eight is still intact, and yet another of last year's boatmen will be back, thus leaving only three new oarsmen in the first shell. Main question mark is at stroke, where Jack Smith will be making his debut tomorrow. Though he worked for the yearling crew last spring, Smith is new to the stern slide. If he looks at home in his new position tomorrow, most of Haines' worries will be over...
...same schedule holds for Haines' Freshmen 150's who also open with the Techmen tomorrow. Reading from bow to stroke, the Yardling shell lists Sam Allen, Bob Menslage, John Bordman, Dick Grosvenor, Tom Day, Sutton Potter, Ted Barrett, and John Wells. Coxing will be Chuch Osborne. Four of these men--Allen, Menslage, Day, and Barrett--had never rowed in a shell before September--a fact which says plenty for the Crimson's fall-winter Freshman training program which yearling coach Harvey Love carries on each year...
...fact that the Crimson Varsity shell broke a course record in beating Princeton Saturday doesn't seem to be enough to give Tom Bolles much confidence about treating Cornell the same way tomorrow. Apparently you never know how your crew is going to perform the next time...
...poorly, picking up only fourths in the 100 and 220, but the explanation is that they were running against some very rapid men, as the winning times indicate. Stroke Charlie Rimmer pushed the stroke up to 38 with a half-mile left, but could not force the Crimson shell into the two-way struggle between the leaders, who widened the distance to a length and a quarter over Harvard before Princeton squeaked to a three-foot margin at the finish. Once again, Rutgers wallowed in its opponents' wakes
...Curwen and coxswain Mantel, the stern of the favored Crimson shell will be weighted down with veterans. Captain Paul Knaplund, Frank Strong, and Dick Emmet are all returnees from the championship 1947 boat, and Bolles is counting heavily on their performance this afternoon. Bowman Mike Scully is also a time-tested oar, but it will be the first performance in the major leagues for Don Felt and Ted Reynolds, two and three oars, respectively...
