Edward H. Bennett, Jr. '37 was elected crew captain at Red Top last spring, succeeding Ray Clark, leader and driving spirit in the 1936 underdog eight which took Yale by 6 lengths last June. Cox Eddie Bennett stands 5 ft. 7 in., weighs 125 pounds, is 20 years old, and has rapped out the beat for three crews against the Blue in three years.

In his Freshman year, Bennett applied the experience he had gained as pilot of the Noble and Greenough crews and soon because the helmsman of the first Yardling boat. Next spring he hurdled the Jayvees and held the tiller ropes all season in the Varsity. It was not until last spring, however, that he was able to pilot his shell to an Eli win, as both his Freshman boat and the Varsity in his Sophomore year were defeated.

Bennett returns to Charles waters this fall with Olympic experience, having coxed the four-oared shell representing America. Three other members of that crew are seniors this year: Roger Cutler, Bill Haskins and Paul Austin. The boat was stroked by Robert Cutler '35. Four-oared honors were captured in the finals by the German crew, the all-Harvard American representatives being beaten in an early heat by the French.
