...resident of Honolulu and a public prosecutor there manager Desha's "warm feeling" for his alma mater prompted him to arrange the tour. Although Hawaiian participation in the National A.A.U. Tournament is not an innovation, the Cambridge visit...
Four years as an "almost good enough" oarsman at the University of Washington under Rusty Callow, now at Penn, were good enough training for Bolles to rate a Freshman coaching berth at his Alma Mater.
