Things are looking bright down in the Newell boathouse these days as the first crew season under the guidance of Tom Bolles gets under way. While nothing too definite about the prospects of the eight can be determined until they have been out on the water for several weeks, the material which Coach Tom Bolles and Captain Eddie Bennett have to work with is certainly on a par with that of the last season's squad, which sank Yale on the Thames in June...
...declines to commit himself in any way on who will be in that first boat that starts against Princeton towards the end of April, or, of more importance, of just who he thinks is going to win that race. But one impression is definitely gained in that boathouse: the crew that does wear the Crimson in that and succeeding races will have plenty of spirit, and they will represent the best that one of the country's best coaches can produce...
Bolles came to Harvard last fall with a remarkable record. It all started back in 1922 when he reported for the Washington Freshman crew, and since that time most of his life has revolved around rowing. As Freshman coach in the regime of Al Ublbrickson at Washington, Bolles lost only one race, and his last four crews were good enough to win the respective Poughkeepsie races they took part...
...first race comes against Princeton on April 24 in the competition for the Compton Cup, and Harvard hasn't won a race against the Tigers since athletic relations were renewed between the two Colleges.

If his crew can get out on the water within the next couple of weeks, and at present that seems very probable, chances of beating Princeton...
...undersea craft-the operation of a specially marked buoy which, released from the deck and carrying a line, enables a wrecked submarine to denote to rescue craft her position on the sea floor; the Momsen artificial lungs (TIME, Aug. n, 1930) with which some of the Nautilus' crew pass to the surface through the emergency release hatch; the salvage air intake to which a diver, reaching a disabled craft, can attach an oxygen line, feeding air to the imprisoned crew until they can be rescued in the rescue bell-a sort of undersea elevator operated on cables from...
