Eliot House Captures House Rowing Title; Flynn Singles Winner

Bernie Flynn of Eliot House splashed to the finish line three seconds ahead of last year's freshman champion, Bart Thomas of Lowell, to retain his title as House single scull champ yesterday in the feature race of the House rowing finals. Eliot also took firsts in the wherries and comps.

Hal Close placed ahead of Funster Charlie Wolle in the comps race, while Pedro Galban won the comps ahead of Evan Randolph of Dunster in a contest of ex-crew men. The winning time for the single sculls was 3:12.

Grays Take Two Firsts

All three Eliot winners had previously rowed on the Elephants' champion crew team which defeated Pierson College of Yale and set a course record of 3:42.5 for the short five-eighths of a mile.

In the freshman races Bill Saltonstall of Grays took the singles, Fred Mosley, also of Grays, was first in the wherries, and Pete Bragdon of Lionel won the comps race.
