Bill Weber, Harvard's lightweight crew coach, will conclude his one-year coaching career after the Henley races...
...winner of 18 out of the last 19 500s, but consigned to oblivion after Ford swept the first four places last year, made its comeback-in the hands of Parnelli Jones, who clocked 162.4 m.p.h. A. J. Foyt was not ready to be counted out either: he and his crew assembled a brand new Lotus-Ford from packing cases in nine hours. After only seven practice laps, he qualified at 161.3 m.p.h...
