Figures point to a University crew victory over Princeton on Lake Carnegie tomorrow, but in this year of an absolutely new start for crew work in both colleges, no true comparison of the opposing eights can be made until after the race. The outcome of the clash between the Freshman crews can still less be forecast, as the 1921 eights have not yet been forced to show their speed and no basis, other than preparatory school records, for a comparison of the individuals exists. As neither the University nor 1921 crews have been put under time trials, their speed is an unknown quantity.
In point of experience both University eights are practically equally at a disadvantage, as none of the oarsmen have rowed on the first boats of either university in a normal season. On paper Princeton is at a decided disadvantage both in weight and height.
Both this morning and afternoon the University and Freshman oarsmen will take practice workouts on Lake Carnegie, paying especial attention to smoothing out their blade work in final preparation for the race tomorrow, and in accustoming themselves to the Princeton shell which has been rerigged to suit the University's style of rowing.
