...NOTEBOOK: The coach of the California men's team was Crimson star Mike Livingston '70, who rowed on the undefeated 1967 freshman team and went to the 1968 and 1972 Olympics. After defeating coach Harry Parker's team, he said. "I take no special delight in beating someone I consider to be my mentor.
