With an untried Crimson Varsity eight opening the racing season against a confident Tiger shell and a weak Tech outfit, today's Compton Cup races should offer a fair gauge of the seventh Harvard Varsity to be coached by Charlie Whiteside. Reports from the Tiger's anchorage indicate that they are not at all dismayed by their recent length-and-a-half defeat by Penn, nor have the changes made by Gordon Sikes during the last week, when Fenniger was moved up from the Jayvees to set the beat for the initial outfit, diminished their hopes one whit. They still expect to take the cup again today as they have for the past three years.
In the Jayvee contest the Tiger is rated about even but here again the weight of the Crimson shell might well give be the race to Harvard.
In all the rowing Tech is a poor third except for her fifties, which may be able to surprise the Princeton shell. Harvard rows no fifties in this regatta since by agreement they do not row against the Tiger until the Goldthwaite Cup on the 16th of this month.
