Prospects for freshman heavy and 150-pound crews looked "very good" to Bill Leavitt, "56 heavy coach, as he officially opened the spring crew season before more than 70 men at Newell Wednesday night.
"The present heavy crow was far ahead of last year's undefeated team when they came out of the water in the fall," lauded Leavitt. The 150-pound crew also came in for high raise from the former varsity coxswain.
"They're an exceptionally fine squad with a great potential," he commented. Leavitt stressed that the 150's had done surprisingly well, though laboring under the handicap of not having a full time coach. Newly appointed 150-pound coach Tod Reynolds has had to divide his time between crew and the Business School, where he is studying.
Leavitt expected the crews to be on the water by the end of February. The first meet is against the M.I.T. freshmen on April 25.
