Edward "Ned" Ten Eyck, Rutgers' coach at that time, was the son of Syracuse coach James "Jim" Ten Eyck and followed his father's example of bringing a crew to Poughkeepsie. The crew finished last and Rutgers would not send another crew until 1941. Again one crew was entered and this time it was a varsity crew that finished 7th out of 9.
After World War II, Rutgers send two crews in 1947 and 1948. In 1947, a junior varsity and varsity that finished 2nd to last in both races.
