...Lucile Watson) is a famous writer who was, in her youth, a stormy struggler in Greenwich Village for freedom for women. Now she has settled down to a placid, respectable existence with her husband (Charles Bryant) whom she calls "Commodore" because he wears yachting clothes when he sails his boat in Long Island Sound. Daughter Ellen (Miss Conklin) has an admirer so polite that he apologizes to Mrs. Murray because his late father, a judge, once jailed her for 30 days. Ellen pays little attention to him until he announces that he is sailing to take a job in Belgium...
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.

...personnel of this spring's boat is still pretty much up in the air, and seatings now are all dependent on the final test: how will they look when they get out on the water. One boat at present, a boat that is as near as one can get to the "number one" eight, is composed of the Varsity lettermen who have come back, with fillings-in where necessary from the last year's Jayvees. Jim Chace is stroking this outfit, and behind him are Johnny Austin, John Clark, John Gardiner, Doug Erickson, Bob Wolcott, Roger Cutler and Bill Haskins...
