ANNAPOLIS, Md, May o.
Navy's world champion crew
saved its undefeated record by
squirting at the finish to beat
Harvard by three-quarters of a
length today and ring up an
other Adams Cup Regatta tri-
umph.
Pennsylvania trailed far be-
hind as the three-shell race mar
rowed at the start to a challenge
by Harvard to the Navy eight,
which had won 16 straight events.
The Midshipmen had the
power at the end of the one-and-
three-quarter-mile test on the
Severn River and won by three
seconds in 8:44.3 Less than a
half-mile from the flag, Coach
Harvey Loves Crimson boat had
pulled almost abreast of Navy,
but the threat stirred Stroke Ed
Stevens to put on the pressure.
Harvard freshmen had opened
the event with a decisive two
length win over Navy's Plebe
shell, but thereafter it was an
Annapolis afternoon. Penn oars
men trailed in all three contests.
The Navy junior varsity got
the biggest lift of any boatload
on the rain-swept Severn. In its
competitive debut, the Navy's
No. 2 shell whipped Harvard by
two lengths. Until this week it
had been Coach Rusty Callow's
third boat.
In capturing the feature of
the 18th renewal of a regatta
named for the late Secretary of
the Navy Charles Francis Adams,
Navy was pressed harder than
at any time in two years except
for the semifnals of the 1852
Olympic trials at Worcester,
Mass. California came within
less than a half-length then.
