Varsity Eight Will Row Yale on June 25

Shoving off from the Newell float (above) before the recent Eastern Sprint Regatta are the eight men who will probably row against the Blue over the four-mile course at New London on June 25.

Pennsylvania's coach, Rusty Callow, calls them the second best crew he has ever seen. Reading from stern to bow: SAM MANTEL, cox; BILL CURWEN, stroke; PAUL KNAPLUND (captain), 7; FRANK STRONG, 6; JUD GALE, 5; DICK EMMET, 4; TED REYNOLDS, 3; DON FELT, 2; MIKE SCULLY, bow.

Defeated only by Cornell this spring, Tom Bolles' huskies are considered the boat to beat at the Olympic Trials, scheduled for Princeton's Lake Carnegie less than a week after the Yale race.
