...Jayvees on the other hand, have been pretty consistent. There is really very little difference between the two boats. Being very open-minded towards his oarsmen, Bolles will not hesitate to make changes in his first boat if he thinks it is for the good of the crew. "Spike" Chace, captain of the Varsity, is one sure choice for the stroke position, although even he will be closely pressed by Bill Rowe and Barr Comstock. Jim Curwen, Freshman pace-setter last spring, has decided to stick to swimming this year...

Coach Tom Bolles' tentative first beat, which also tried a brief spin earlier during one of the temporary thaws, took an easy run down to the head of the basin, with Captain Spike Chace at stroke, John Clark 7,Doug Erickson 6, John Radway 5, John Senior 4, Dudley Talbot 3, Chandler Hovey, Jr. 2, David Scull, bow, and George Shortlidge...
