...Scuttling. Roughly half of each 30-minute installment of Sea Hunt happens underwater. Skindiving Hero Mike Nelson (Bridges) has battled the odds in the form of sharks, octopuses, moray eels, manta rays, alligators, giant sea turtles, Aqua-Lunged badmen-and "rapture of the deep" (nitrogen narcosis). The whole production crew is equally at home at sea; Ziv Producer Tors, 42, is a zealous sea hunter, and Secretary Parry holds the world's depth record for women: 209 ft. down, off Catalina...
Seconds for Cash. Jimmy Bryan had an edge in both. His pit crew never kept him off the track more than 35 seconds at a stop. He drifted into curves and tore down the straightaways with the same swift talent that had won him the national driving championship three years in the last four.

The heavies went into the Sprints undefeated and only finished third by a stroke of bad luck. All told Harvard crew this spring won 51 out of 55 races. The record speaks for itself...

It was the year that Harvard had the best basketball, baseball, tennis, and lightweight crew teams in a long time. All one can hope for now is that John Yovicsin will be able to develop some kind of pass defense by next November
