The lake was too rough, Conibear said. If it was, Conibear was the only one who noticed it. The race itself was grossly mismanaged. Three crews were started from one end of the course in a preliminary race at the same time the Washing- ton and California varsity crews started from the other. They almost collided midway. Altogether, it was about as prettily a balled-up mess as any school child could have managed. Directors of Company Author- ized Him to Use Its Funds as He Saw Fit.
