...only new men in the boat are Evans at stroke and Brooks at three. Competition for the seats was keen. Evans, who rowed six in last year's junior varsity, beat out Monk Terry, who stroked the lightweight varsity last spring, and the 1967 stroke Ian Gardiner. Today Terry strokes the heavyweight junior varsity and Gardiner sits at bow in the third varsity boat. Kit Wise strokes the third boat...
Northeastern already has raced twice so far. The Huskies thrashed M.I.T. and B.U., and, a week ago, they came in a length and a half back of Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia. Vesper is expected to provide the main competition for Harvard at the Olympic trials in mid-July...
...great fish fought it out at opposite ends of a slender nylon thread no thicker than a pencil mark. Seven times the marlin jumped-great bill-slashing leaps that carried it 10 ft. into the air. A dozen times, while Skipper Young deftly backed and turned the boat, Clarke maneuvered the marlin to within 50 yds. of Sea Wolfe, only to have the fish launch a run that stripped 500 yds. of line off the reel in the space of seconds. The duel went on until 1 p.m., when, after 20 hr. and 15 min. in the fighting chair, Clarke...

Anxious to retrieve his line, Boadby leaned over the gunwale, gaffed the shark and trussed it to his boat-thereupon technically setting a light-tackle record that is likely to remain unchallenged for quite some time. Boadby's line was 6-lb.-test monofilament. The shark weighed...
