...Goldthwait Cup, Crimson property for the past six crew seasons, will be at stake tomorrow when Varsity 150 oarsmen row their letter race with Yale and Princeton in the first of three light-weight derbies on the Charles...
Four "30-Minute Club" members will compete for the magnum-size, sterling silver Darcey Cup to climax Blake Dennison's annual singles regatta on the Charles this afternoon.
