Developer of countless great oarsmen and rowing coaches in a 37-year career, Callow was forced to step down from active coaching a month ago because of failing health and eyesight. But at the finish of the race last week, Rusty Callow could feel satisfied. His Navy crew, only a mediocre outfit this season but revamped for the I.R.A., made a gallant closing spurt, finished a strong third, just...
