The coming of Tom Bolles added coals to the rising fire of enthusiasm, and now the triumph at Princeton marks the first win in a sprint race since the golden days of Killer Cassidy...
Coxwain Fox started to yell to the power in the waist of the boat, and though the stroke didn't go up then, the power went on and the unbelievably smooth boat pulled away, opening up a lead they climaxed in a beautiful closing sprint...
