Sport: Who Won, Jul. 7, 1947

At Seattle, Coach Tom Bolles’ crack Harvard, crew rowed the 2,000-meter Olympic distance in a record 5 min. 49 sec. In doing so, Harvard, which always passes up Poughkeepsie, defeated nine of the eleven crews which raced at Poughkeepsie a fortnight ago. Navy, the Poughkeepsie winner, did not show up at Seattle, but the Harvard crew had already beaten Navy this season, was thus apparently the crew of the year.
