Harvard's heavyweight crew had to wait three years, but Saturday was the day. The heaviest Crimson heavyweights in history--and one of the youngest--defeated the Vesper Boat Club by two lengths to win the Pan American Trials at Orchard Beach Lagoon...

Dick is the straight man, Tom is the bumbling buffoon. Between skits, they sing fractured folk songs. In the middle of Michael, Row the Boat Ashore, for example, Tom will interrupt with a snigger: "Hey, Michael, you'd better get that boat back; you'll lose your deposit."
