Crew wasn't the only sport in which Winthrop showed its strength. After jumping off to a slow start in tackle football with a tie for third, the Puritans whipped off firsts in touch football, wrestling combined basketball, and swimming...

It has a high, slablike wing and a top speed of only 168 m.p.h. Yet low and slow as it flies, the Britten-Norman (BN-2) Islander, as it is called, has proved to be a soaring success...
