Who Won

P: Navy's unbeaten crew, the Olympic trials; at Worcester, Mass. In the final, the Navy shell whipped Princeton by 2 1/2 lengths and swamped the perennial West Coast powerhouses, Washington (by 3 lengths) and California (by 3 1/2). Navy's time: 5:57.7, just one second off California's 1948 Olympic trial mark. Finishing at a sprinting beat of 42 strokes a minute, the midshipmen became the first Olympic crew from the Eastern U.S. since Yale's 1924 crew, the first from Annapolis since 1920.

P:The University of Pennsylvania's 150-lb. crew by 1 1/4 lengths over Cambridge's Christ's College on a 1-mile-550-yd. course, to retain the Thames Challenge Cup; at Henley-on-Thames, England.

P:Good Time, the $25,000 National Pacing Derby; at Roosevelt Raceway.

P: Betty Haas, flying her own Navion, the 1,200-mile Women's International Air Race from St. Augustine, Fla. to Welland, Ont., at an average speed of 109 m.p.h.

P:Stanley Sayres and his Slo-Mo-Shun IV, the world hydroplane speed record, averaging 178.497 m.p.h. (18 m.p.h. faster than their own previous record) in two one-mile runs (one with the wind, one against it); on Seattle's Lake Washington.
