There has been little change in the situation in the Indoor Athletic Building pool. Harvard's Senior-Sophomore team still lacks a good breastroker and could use another sprint man. The dive and backstroke are pretty well taken care of, and Captain Frannie Powers and Bus Curwen will handle the 220. Curwen will double in the 440, and Powers will probably join the century delegation, along with Lonnie Stowell...
...last half mile down the course it was nip and tuck with the two leading eights. The Sophomores lost their advantage, regained a little of it, only to fall behind by about a half-deck length with only a hundred years remaining. Curwen's closing sprint failed by inches to catch the victorious Wagner, who stroked the jayvees most of last spring. When the two hit the finish line Wagner's oars were last in the water, and that added impetus was a winning margin...
...season of sprint rows is over, and every stroke the Varsity takes now is in preparation for the exhausting four-mile grind down the Thames in which every man will have to give his utmost to beat the highly-touted Yale aggregation...
...Elis have a formidable sprint entry in Owen and Rothschild, but top performances by the Harvard entry could easily beat them. Owen was a hot favorite to capture the honors at Philadelphia last week-end, but he jumped the gun once too often and was disqualified. For this reason, he may prove over-cautious and get away from the mark slowly this Saturday. In that event, Macdonald or Smith would have a better than even chance to grab of first place...
Roger Schafer could probably do better for the Crimson in the 220, but it is questionable if Jaako will want to risk using him in three events. Running the sprint might prevent him from making a top try in the high and low hurdles where it is hoped he will earn some points...
