In Staffordshire, two spinster sisters...
...Harvard's crew: the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges sprint championships, by a length, at Lake Quinsigamond, Mass. Despite choppy water and a 15-knot headwind, the unbeaten Crimson crewmen stuck to their shovel-like smooth-water oars, leaped into the lead at the start of the 2,000-meter race, and held on to edge Cornell, chalk up their fourth straight victory, and establish themselves as a top candidate to represent the U.S. at next autumn's Olympics in Tokyo...
