BY BILL KING,

BOSTON June 16. - Having
wrought what is considered a rowing
masterpiece in his unbeaten 1941
Harvard varsity crew, the modest
and scholarly Tom Bolles confessed
today that he was unable to give
an accurate measurement of its
greatness.
Since it never was closely pressed
by rival eight, ali Bolles can say

Fourth Sweep in Five Years.
BolleS' fifth Harvard season since
he came from the University of
Washington in September, 1886, was
climaxed by the Crimson's fourth
clean sweep of the four-event re-
gatta with Yale at New London last
Saturday. Since he became commo-
dore at the Newell Boathouse, his
five varsity eights have lost but
three of their 80 starts. twice to
Cornell and once to Navy in sprint
ing events.
The rangy 38-year-old Tom, a

Confident From Outset.
After inspecting Harvard's mag
nificent rowing equipment and
studying the records of his material,
Bolles gave one of the most rowing
minded alumni in intercollegiate
ranks a delightful shock by pre-
dieting that Harvard, which had
won only few sprint races over
a long stretch of years. would be
ready to make a determined bid for
Olympic honors by 1910. And it
would have but for the war. although
his last crew was less impressive
than its mighty successor.
Bolles was confident Harvard
could soar to such heights because
of its wealth of finely trained prep
