...JONES: IT'S NOT UNUSUAL (Parrot). Now it is a Welsh miner's son, a curlyheaded six-footer with a bronze voice and a pair of leather lungs, who belts out Chuck Berry songs like Memphis Tennessee. Jones dips into folk as well (Skye Boat Song), but runs down in sentimental ballads like It's Just a Matter of Time...
...Harvard: its 100th boat race with Yale, by ten lengths; on New London's rainswept Thames River. Considered one of the alltime great crews (TIME, June 18), Coach Harry Parker's unbeaten Crimson, victors over Navy, Cornell, Princeton, M.I.T. and nine other challengers this season, was expected to win with ease-and so it did, low-stroking to the finish in the relaxed time of 19 min. 41.6 sec., some...
...Atlantic and Pacific, the mako can swim at 40 m.p.h., bite clean through a 500-Ib.-test wire leader, leap 20 ft. out of the water-higher than any marlin. Enraged by the hook, makos have been known to yank luckless fishermen overboard or jump straight into a boat, tear the place apart, then leap back into the water to fight for another two hours. Their killer instinct lingers even after death. At Ocean City, Md., not long ago, a tourist walked past the corpse of a mako lying on the dock, carelessly brushing its head with his foot...
...Farmer Alf Dean in 1959. That was just a baby. Dean himself hooked into a bigger one that towed his 30-ft. launch 12 miles, finally broke loose after an epic 5½-hr. battle. Last year, off New York's Montauk Point, Captain Frank Mundus, a charter-boat skipper and shark specialist, confronted a huge white shark that swam up to inspect the boat and rose so far out of the water that Mundus swears he could have reached right out and touched the gaping mouth. Mundus hit it with three harpoons in the next five hours before...
Call It Talent. Parker's crew is essentially the same one that was unbeaten last year until its loss to Philadelphia's Vesper Boat Club in the Olympic trials. Now the Crimson is stronger, more mature, more confident. They average 6 ft. 3 in. and 180 lb.-including Coxswain John Unkovic, who stands 5 ft. 6 in. and weighs 120 lb. after dinner. Four of them-Captain and No. 6 Oar Paul Gunderson, Stroke Geoff Picard, No. 3 Oar Tom Pollock, No. 2 Oar Bob Schwarz-have been in the same boat since their freshman year at Harvard...
