Sophomore Art Rouner, the regular jayvee stroke who gave him a battle for the varsity berth earlier this year, will be stroking today. John Hutchinson has moved up from the third boat to take over stroke in the Jayvees...
...Since Rouner has already put in some time in the varsity boat, and since Iselin rowed behind him last year, the Crimson should not be too hampered by Curwen's loss, provided Iselin is back at normal strength.
