Appropriately, the Penn crew that won the Adams Cup last week was coached by Diamond Sculler Joe Burk, who learned his sweep-swing from Rusty Callow. Rusty is the man who made Navy great. He arrived at Annapolis in 1950, put in an unsuccessful year, and then watched his crews sink right out from under him-on the flood-swollen waters of the Ohio River in June 1951, three Navy shells were wrecked. But Callow and Navy did a quick salvage job. From Meilahti Gulf, Finland to Newport Beach, Calif., they won race after race, including the 1952 Olympic championship...
When defeat finally came last week, it was far from a disgrace. Navy's new and inexperienced oarsmen pushed Penn to the fastest time ever clocked on that mile-and-a-quarter course: 8:47.7. Coach Callow was not at all disheartened, for he had the makings of another great eight. Now that the Middies have learned to lose, said he, "Navy will have to start budgeting for crew shirts...
...world championship. ¶ While Bowie's horse players broiled under the Baltimore sun, stewards studied movies of the Governor's Gold Cup race, decided that Boston Doge had committed no foul, gave the unkempt little sprinter his tenth straight victory. ¶Even Coach "Rusty"Callow figures that Navy's long-unbeaten crew (three years, 30 races and the 1952 Olympic championship) is stroking toward disaster. But the Middies, who have lost six veterans from their varsity eight, postponed the inevitable, outrowed Princeton by 2½ lengths on Lake Carnegie...
...Cummings Show (Sun. 10:30 p.m., NBC) has a real twist: Bob is a bachelor. But since he lives with his widowed sister and her callow son, viewers are not deprived of any of the dubious delights of family comedy. Bob is also a Hollywood photographer, which permits him to be surrounded by shoals of swooning models as well as a yearning secretary. The plot of the opening show, sponsored by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., was composed of equal parts of slapstick and nonsense, and not even as able a light comedian as Cummings could do much with...
...Biblical Joseph. But as the story goes on. the moviegoer gets an uneasy sense that he is being asked to swallow an ideological camel (with Eleanor Parker on top) about the Americans and how they alone shine like good deeds in a naughty world. ("I am afraid," sneers a callow young Menjou-type, obviously a foreigner, "in all the hustle and bustle [in America], the spiritual might have been somewhat neglected.'' True-blue Robert snaps back: "When were you last in the States...
