Whatever Harvard's chances to win are, they will be minimal if a slight injury to Spengler flares up during the race. Monday he reinjured the hip which forced him to miss the end of the 1969 season, and he has taken the week off. "It's just about on the verge of tearing," teammate Bob Seals said yesterday.
