Wilde, a second year law student, last spring won his second consecutive sculling cup. Though he has rowed single shells for the past three years, he gained experience with eight-oared shells as a freshman and sophomore.
In his sophomore year he was on the next-to-last varsity 150 crew coached by Bert Haines. That same spring he also won the 150-pound University singles championships.
