Miss Taunton, when contacted last night in Newport, R.L., could not deny that she had contracted this fall to write for a College undergraduate a 60-page thesis on the topic: "The role of Michael Bakunin in the Russian Revolutionary Movement of the Nineteenth Century"; that she had met with the undergraduate in Widener and given him a preliminary bibliography and 20 pages of typed book-notes on the subject; and that she had accepted for these services $7--approximately one-third of the $20 total cost of the thesis.

But Callow and Navy did a quick salvage job. From Meilahti Gulf, Finland to Newport Beach, Calif., they won race after race, including the 1952 Olympic championship...
