BOLLES BAULKED BY BOAT BUT CREWS PRACTICE ON CHARLES

Coach Tom Bolles took two Varsity crews out on the river yesterday for one of the earliest outdoor practices in Harvard rowing history.

Everything went off without a hitch, except for the fact that the Baby Whale, the official coaching boat for the day, balked in indignation at the new innovation. With Bolles safely installed aboard, attempts to start the outboard motor proved of no avail. A large crowd assembled on Larz Anderson Bridge to watch the struggle with great glee. Steady cranking accomplished nothing until the flash of distant oars was seen. Then the motor took heart and started, all too late, however, for the crews were just returning.
