Allen Awarded 1st Haines Trophy

The first Herbert Haines 150-pound crew trophy went to Samuel M. Allen '51 of Eliot House and Glendale, Ohio, on Tuesday night. The Haines Trophy was established by last year's 150 pound crew; it will be awarded annually to the upperclass lightweight oarsman who "best exemplifies the spirit of 150-pound rowing."

Allen, who received the trophy at a dinner at the Hotel Kenmore, has worked with the 150s for four years. He rowed number two this spring.

Allen's trophy honors veteran 150-pound crew coach Bert Haines.

A steady oarsman, Allen started rowing the spring of his freshman year.
