...desperate, almost pathetic, eagerness to do "significant motion pictures" with the New Wave.

...different story Saturday. All crews went off the line high. Navy found itself two lengths back almost immediately and Harvard was squeezing out a slim lead over Penn. By a half-mile-gone, both crews had settled to 36 -- high. It was smooth swinging Harvard by a half length. In the next quarter mile Harvard, at 34, took another length...
