...Bert Haines and Tom Bolles around for the second half. There will be many more eights than now coming out of Newell every day, but no one who has not rowed before will be allowed out in a House crew until he has passed several weeks on the Leviathan. Informal regattas to test the mettle of the rival eights will probably be arranged towards the end of each session...
House crews will have the advantage of excellent coaching this summer, as Varsity coach, Tom Bolles, and Freshman coach, Harvey Love, are going to devote their talents to the House eights. Inexperienced upperclassmen will be able to start from scratch in the "Leviathan" with the new Freshmen instead of going right into one of the slender shells.

Of this, U.S. Lines put up $2,396,629 cash, the Leviathan (valued at around $2,000,000), and a mortgage for $7,328,140, the Maritime Commission the rest. But even after throwing out the Government's ante, the America cost U.S. Lines $850,000 annually in depreciation ($600,000) and interest ($250,000).
