Also at stake will be the ambition of Pennsylvania coach Joe Burk to beat his predecessor, Navy coach Rusty Callow who was the Red and Blue varsity coach before he moved to Annapolis and launched his fabulous middies on their world-beating career...
...Navy and Washington. At the referee's shout of "Ready all . . . Row!", Navy spurted off at 40 strokes a minute. The fast start gave Navy a slim lead over Washington at the half-mile mark. By then, following the pre-race instructions of its canny Coach Rusty Callow, Navy began to save strength, switched to a long, easy 28-stroke-a-minute beat, to have plenty left for a finish sprint...
...finish, it was Navy by more than a length; it meant the intercollegiate title and Navy's 20th straight victory, longest undefeated record in rowing history. A surprisingly strong Cornell crew nipped Washington for second place. After the race, Navy Coach Callow, 62, dean of U.S. crew coaches, handed his team an accolade: "The greatest I have ever coached." It was Callow's hail & farewell to an eight-man crew of seniors. Same day, his junior varsity crew, on which Navy must build next year, lost to Washington's j.v. by six lengths...

The lieutenant (Michael Denison) is no idealized figure; he is young, cocky and rather callow.

By making real and affecting both the fallibility and the nobility of ordinary people in a time of crisis, the film...
...Navy almost all the way in what became a two shell race soon after Penn broke a rigger. Navy rowed most of the way at 29, jumping the count to 32 when Crimson struck Len Wheeler moved his boat to 35. The Middle shell-which had been Coach Rusty Callow's third eight until this race-was two lengths ahead at the finish. Its time was 8:48.8, while the Crimson's was 8:56.8. The Jayvee boat included Dan Simonds at bow, Ned Bliss at two, Chis Halle at three, Bob Monks at four, Pete Simonds at five...
