Off to defend their title to the Goldthwait Cup. Bert Haines's Hightweight eights embark for Derby, Connectiout this afternoon where tomorrow they meet their rival crews from Yale and Princeton.
Vint Bailey again strokes the varsity 150's which oked out a quarter-length win over the Elis in the Basin Last Spring, but Bort Haines makes no promises about tomorrow's results. "Fifty races are always close. Very seldom is there open water between the winning and second boats and usually the winner is decided in the last quarter mile," he commented.
Shifts Among Elis
The Blue 150-pound boat has suffered the usual fate of lightweight crews with continual shifting in the seatings all spring, but a close victory over Pennsylvania last week on the Harlem shows its potentialities.
Stroke of last year's Freshman heavy eight, Jim Edgarton has come down to the required weight and now paces the Eli varsity eight which has finally succeeded in consistently defeating its jayvee boat.
The Yale cub eight opened its season by defeating the Kant boat over the mile course and certainly ought to give Abbot's crew, victors over M. I. T., a good fight.
Princeton, which finished a poor third in last year's race, seems to have a better eight this year and will as usual provide a crew to beat. After the decisive defeat of the Orange and Black by the Crimson oarsmen in the Compton Cup regattas, the Tigers will be out to retrieve some of their lost prestige.
