Four Crimson eights make their first public appearance tomorrow afternoon when they participate in the Rowe Memorial Cup Regatta over the Charles River Henley course. Starting at 4:45 o'clock, the Freshman, Varsity 150's, Junior Varsity, and Varsity shells come to the line at 15-minute intervals, so that Referee Howard Robbins is scheduled to send the Varsity eights of Harvard, M. I. T., Boston University, Syracuse, and Cornell away from the stake boats at 5:30 o'clock.

Harvard's Varsity weighs 181 and stands six feet three on the average and, with a favoring wind and good water, should cover the mile and five-sixteenths in 6:35, a good five seconds under the official record and probably good enough to win Captain Ted Lyman and his mates a whole new collection of crew shirts.

The chief threats to the Crimson should come either from Cornell or Syracuse, both of whom come to the Charles with high-calibre press notices and nothing concrete on which to predict their performances. Syracuse had a top-notch Freshman boat last year, and most of this is now on the Orange Varsity. In addition to this, the high stroke at which Syracuse is accustomed to row is much better suited for the Henley than the longer mile and three-quarters.

Cornell Points for Crimson

Originally Cornell was not entered in the Rowe Cup, but reports that the best Ithacan crew in several years was working out on Lake Cayuga this spring were followed by a hasty application for admission to the Regatta, the general impression being that Cornell was aiming at the Crimson and the mythical Eastern title.

George Hurd, Harvard's 150-pound crew manager, states that the Terriers are vastly improved over a year ago, but they are still in the smaller college rowing class, and Bob Moch's Engineers apparently are not up to their usual high standard.

Freshmen Heavily Favored

Harvey Love's Freshman boat shapes up as the best since 1938, and they should not have much trouble in their race against Tech, B.U., and Cornell. The recently elevated Varsity 150's also should take the measure of their Engineer opponents.

The Javyee race should be anyone's, but Harvard, more because it a Harvard than for any other reason, is prob- ably favored to take the measure of shells from Cornell, Syracuse, and Tech.
