Hart look on.
By Elizabeth Walker Despite its achievements, crew at Holy Cross has had to work hard to keep itself afloat throughout its 35-year history at the College. In the 1965 Purple Patcher , it was referred to as the charity sport. Not unlike a lot of other programs, we ve come a long way, said Coach Tom Sullivan 70, who, during crew s fledgling years as a varsity sport in the 1960s, participated with his teammates in a variety of fund-raising efforts just to keep the program above the waterline. Back when guys and their dates would dress up and go to the football games, we used to sell mums and programs to raise money for crew, Sullivan said. These days, it takes more than green stamps to buy boats.
