Champs Coach Raymond Settele tries to clear the bar The 1957 spring track team completed another suc- cessful season by winning the New England Champion- ship meet for the fourth year in a row. The Terriers won six of the 15 events and finished 17 points ahead of their nearest competitor. Eino Keerd, Dave Settele, Larry Cafarella and Gene Ellis were the victorious Terriers. The Thinclads opened their season by finishing third in a triangular meet with Army and NYU. Settele won both the 190-yard high-hurdles and 220 low-hurdles. Cafarella won the shot put event with a toss of 50 feet, 95 inches. Other point gatherers were: Keerd who won the discus with an effort of 138 feet and Ellis who fin- ished second in the 880.

CREW Under the direction of Coach Jim Nesworthy, the 1957 crew underwent a rebuilding phase. A combination of graduation losses and lack of manpower to fill the var- sity boat hurt the Terriers chances for victory over the topnotch crews faced during the season. The crew year was highlighted by a dead-heat tie against Dartmouth after losing to the Indians by three lengths a week before. The referee signaled a BU win but the three judges were divided as to who was victo- rious. One judge claimed a Dartmouth win, the second voted for the Terriers, and the last voiced a dead-heat verdict. The Scarlet and White freshmen surged from a trailing position to win over the Indian frosh. The first race of the season pitted BU against Yale, Olympic champs and monarchs of the crew world. The Housatonic River was the scene as the Eli's claimed victory by five and one-half lengths. In a Charles River match, the Terrier oarsmen placed behind Harvard, BUT and Syracuse. Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, and BUT squeezed by the University in the annual Compton Cup compe- tition on the Charles. Chances for a Terrier triumph were hampered when illness sidelined ace rower Tom Duggan from the varsity event. Six of the ten varsity shell rowing regulars will leave the University at graduation. For Bill Newman, Tom Duggan, Bob Mathews, Dave Weitz, Ross Schaff, this year's captain, and Kim Bassett former captain and varsity stroke, 1957 marked their last year of crew. 'XXl'Q f 1 .
