Enter Mr. Cunningham, who wasn't content with Harvard's three-seat lead at that juncture.

...first boat boasts four returnees from last year's Eastern Sprints champion eight. Powerhouse junior Nancy Kerrebrock moves up to the stroke seat, senior co-captains Mizzy Stokes and Jane Roy sit six and bow, respectively, and three-year veteran Karen Messer occupies the three-seat. Susie Peterson continues her duties in the coxswain's chair...
