With the first race against M.I.T. three short days away, Love again saw his favorites lose, and it was not until the day before that he managed to pick a crew which could defend its right to race Tech. So with only two days of practice, one granted by fate when the race was postponed to Monday, the crew was not a perfect unit, and lost by two lengths...
