...other American entries similarly failed in the final round. Seattle's Bill Tytus, the best United States entry in the Diamond Sculls lost badly to East German Jorg Bohmer, and the Trinity College varsity crew, undefeated in its first year of competition, fell to A.S.R. Nereus, a fine Netherlands club, by a length...
