Newest Varsity Shell Bears Name of Crew Coach Bolles

The "Thomas D. Bolles," newest of the varsity crew's racing shells, was launched in the Charles last week.

Gift of an anonymous donor, the $2,000 shell will be used in competition for the first time during the four-mile race with Yale June 23. It was constructed in the Seattle shop of George Pocock, famed West Coast boat builder.

Bolles has been head coach here since 1936. His crew will row in its old shell when it defends its Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges championship at Annapolis Saturday.
