Coach Harry Parker's heavyweight crew squad endured a novel training program this past Saturday: The Newell (Boathouse) Triathalon. Consisting of 1) a half-hour row on a rowing machine; 2) a four-mile run; and 3) a run up and down each of the stadium's 37 rows, the triathalon claimed many oarsmen's Saturday night revelries.
