> Harvard: its 100th boat race with Yale, by ten lengths; on New London's rainswept Thames River. Considered one of the alltime great crews (TIME, June 18), Coach Harry Parker's unbeaten Crimson, victors over Navy, Cornell, Princeton, M.I.T. and nine other challengers this season, was expected to win with ease—and so it did, low-stroking to the finish in the relaxed time of 19 min. 41.6 sec., some 20 sec.

short of the record for the four-mile pull down the Thames. That made it three in a row for Harvard—and 53-47 on the series—with signs of more to come as both the frosh and junior-varsity crews rowed to victory by wide margins.

> Navy: the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship, by one-half length over favored Cornell; on Onondaga Lake in Syracuse. Bucking a 12-m.p.h. head wind, the fast-stroking (36 strokes per minute) Middies pulled into an early lead in the 15-boat field, fought off a strong challenge by Cornell in the last 150 yds. to win the three-mile race in 16 min. 51.3 sec.

> Bret Hanover: the Hanover-Hempt Farms Stake in a new track record of 1 min. 57 ⅓ sec.; at The Meadows in Washington, Pa. With Driver-Trainer Frank Ervin in the sulky, the unbeaten three-year-old pacer swelled his 1965 earnings by $8,700 to $118,700, stretched his sensational winning streak to 29 races.

> Australia's Roy Emerson, 28: London's Grass Courts Championship by default over the U.S.'s Dennis Ralston, 22, who pulled out an hour before the match because of an injured thumb that had become so swollen that "I couldn't grip the racket."

> Australia's Ron Clarke, 28: the 10,000-meter run in 28 min. 14 sec., snipping 1.6 sec. off his own world record; on the famed track at Turku, Finland. Outdistancing a pack of Finnish runners, Clarke finished without his usual sprint, leading observers to believe that the intense Aussie can run still faster.
