...Nimrod, King of Babylon, Wendell gave an amusing representation. His songs were well done and his acting excellent. The Cough Brothers, Hem and Haw, were presented by Butler and Middlemass.

Both eights are stroked by men who have never rowed in a University shell before, but they both have the advantage of veteran oarsmen just behind them at number seven.
