RECORD CREW—Standing: Coach Tom Curran, captain A. Ashhurn, D. Lagan, R Haber, B. Coofier, K. Corkey, C. Groom, D Dale, T Corrigan. Kneeling R. Sheehan. Crew Team Finishes In Season Competition Coach Tom Curan clock his team's speed during practice session Temple Opponent W Fordhm L w Amherst L L Georgetown W W Community L w Howard L 2nd Bergen Cup Regatta 2nd Dad Vail Regatta Everyone knows it takes at least four or five years to produce a talented crew team on the University level. Someone must have forgotten to tell Tom Curran though. When Tom Curran took over the coaching duties of a first-year sport at the University two years ago, all people could do was hope his shell managed to stay afloat. Curran’s crew managed that and more. They were unbeaten in dual meet competition on their maiden voyage. Tins year they accomplished even more. When it came time for the best of the so-called small colleges to race their eight-ored crews up the Schuylkill for the Dad Vail Cup. Curran’s crew finished second out of thirty-two shells. They also made off with the President's Cup in a 2.000 meter primary that took place in Poughkeepsie, New York. They defeated St. Joseph’s along the way. Dual meet wise. Curran's crew lost only to powerful Georgetown, the same boat that bested them in the Dad Vails. Only Bruce Cooper and Tony Ashhurn have been graduated, so the nucleus is back to make more believers out of Tom Curran, the unofficial miracle worker of the Schuylkill Navy. Doug Dale, Charlie Groom, Ken Corkery, Tommy Carrigan, Bob Ra-ber. Dave Legin and Billy Ace’’ Sheenan will return to make that big eight go.
