...quote: "Bill Pickett would weigh about 170 Ib. and was 5 ft. 10 in. high and was the originator of the bulldogging stunt (not bulldozing).

Up to the Harvard Bridge, the water conditions were fair, and good time was made, but from there on the chop was as bad as the crews have rowed in this year.
