...fact that a few of the men Bolles was counting on after their showing last fall appeared in the first two boats on the river yesterday indicates, however, that the coach does not tell all he knows.

Also, an important corner is turned, away from Hollywood's rather monotonous dreamland, into the illimitable possibilities of the world the eye actually sees.
