Rowing Upset

Five years ago, Edward O. Leader came from the University of Washington to coach rowing at Yale. It would be mild to say that he revolutionized the sport in the East. He brought more men out for crew than for football; he gave Yale an unbroken record of victories, including the Olympic Championship in 1924; he influenced rowing methods at many another university.

Last week he saw a Yale varsity crew meet its first defeat under his coaching. Princeton, after five years of unimpressive rowing, conquered Mr. Leader's men by taking the lead soon after the start and keeping it. Just before the last quarter-mile of the race a Yale spurt gained, but Princeton reached the finish line with a quarter of a length to spare.

On the shores of Lake Carnegie there were few more happy than Princeton Coach Charles ("Chuck") Logg, who rowed on the famed Washington crew which Mr. Leader coached in 1921.
