"They've made remarkable progress, but with freshmen you can never tell how they'll do in competition," said Coach Derrick Wilde as he watched his Yardling crew take a practice run for this afternoon's race against M.I.T.
Wilde will send a boat that has only three experienced oarsmen against the Engineers. Everyone else, including stroke Bob Foley, will be rowing in their first crew race. But Wilde's green crew looked close to mid-season form in its last time trial, finishing within a few seconds of the varsity's best clocking this season.
Viggo Bertelsen, Larry Coolidge, and George Krumbhaar are the three veterans around whom Wilde has built his crew. Coolidge, who rowed in a four at Groton, will be in the number three seat. Krumbhaar follows Coolidge at four, and pulled on the first boat at Middlesex for three years.
Bertelsen, starting at seven, was on an excellent high school crew at Washington and Lee. Tom Shefiled at bow, Hal Smith at two, Bob Tyler at five, and Dave Sutherland at six round out his crew.
