Coach Rusty Callow’s Middies were reported to have broken the IRA record for the lake in a time trial this week. But Callow gave the trial time as 15:16 for the three miles. The record, set by Navy in winning the 1952 race, was 15:08.1. Washington, Cornell and Penn are rated as having the oarsmen who might be strong enough to up- set mighty Navy. However, nine of the competing coaches gave the nod to Navy in a poll. Except for naming their crews first in the poll, both Callow and Washington coach Al Ulbrickson have stoutly refused to make any predictions. The other shells,pulling over the three mile course toward Liverpool will carry the crews from Boston University, California, Columbia, MIT, Princeton, Wisconsin and host + | Syracuse.
