About five o'clock the juniors appeared with only seven men in the boat and with Cameron stroking the crew from No. 7. The rest of the order was: 6, Richardson; 5, Briggs; 4. Lambert; 3, Poole; 2, Capen; bow, McGuffie. '94 came next with washboards rigged on the boat in preparation for rough water. Heckscher at bow and Carter at No. 2 had changed...
