Correcting the Record (Rowing at Princeton)

On May 3, 1947, the Princeton lightweight frosh crew raced the Columbia lightweight crew on Lake Carnegie. 

Columbia won by about one length. The book Rowing at Princeton states that Princeton won by about four feet. As a loyal Princetonian, I say that Columbia won. I rowed at No. 7 oar in the Columbia shell that day and I was in that race. 

Sincerely,
