Six members of last year's University eight have returned to college, and five are in Coach Stevens' first boat. The new men are the bow three, Perkins and Barry from the 1925 second eight and Dunlop from last spring's Freshman crew. On the second crew, Winthrop, brother of the captain; Howe, and Watts rowed in the 1928 boat, while Page is also a sophomore, ineligible last season. Iselin, Gates, Righter, and Canning have all been on the University squad for two years, Iselin having captained the junior university crew last June. Of the coxswains, Beer steered the second crew last spring and Pforzheimer held the Freshman rudder ropes.
