...Captain Sherm Gray, Sam Goddard, and Bruce Pirnie are the men who won Yale shirts at New London and graduated but last year's crew was noted for its depth, and their places can probably be filled adequately, although it will be a difficult...
...second appearance as Varsity stroke, dropped the beat to 31 and with his whole crew swinging in perfect precision behind him, the Harvard eight drew rapidly away from the rest of the fleet. The Crimson had over a length on Princeton at the bridge and at the finish Captain Sherm Gray's boat was timed in 9:23, over two lengths ahead of the Orange and Black...

The chances of the Crimson's being upset seem almost negligible, and the rangy Varsity seems headed for its first undefeated sprint season since Spike Chace captained...

Notoriously late starters, and in addition riddled by sickness this year, the Cornell crew has so far this spring rowed two losing races, one to Navy, which last week chased Captain Sherm Gray's boat across the finish line, and one to Syracuse, victor over Tech last Saturday by the narrowest of margins...
