Vesper: A Brief History Perhaps the best known names associated with the Vesper Club, are John B. Kelly Sr., an Irish brickworks owner who became influential in city politics and his son, John B. Kelly Jr., a city councilman and brother to Princess Grace of Monaco. Kelly Sr. won Olympic Gold in the single scull in 1920. He also won gold medals in the double scull in 1920 and in 1924, both times with his cousin Paul Costello. But, as a laborer Kelly was barred from entering the Diamond Sculls at the Royal Henley Regatta. It was two decades later, that John B. Kelly Jr. would win that event, in 1947 and 1949. Kelly Jr. won the national singles championship eight times. At the time of his death in 1985, he. was president of the United States Olympic Committee. Under the coaching of such greats as Mike Manning, Dr. Charles W. Riggall, Allan Rosenberg and Dietrich Rose, many other Vesper members have gone on to cumulatively win more national and international races than any club in the United States.

window.defaultStatus = "SACRC - History" In the Beginning Club Highlights The Club Today In The Beginning The Saint Andrew's Rowing club was established in 1958 by Axel Ohlsson. In the words of Axel Ohlsson, quoted from the ANDREAN magazine 1958: "Membership of the newly formed club was 40. Of these 10 were very dormant, but the remaining 30 are very keen. We travel to Howison's Poort in very cramped conditions, miss supper and return just in time for prep. In addition we have to use borrowed boats kindly lent to us by Rhodes University Boat Club." This dedication has always been a characteristic of a College rower, and as the club has grown in size and influence, this determination and hard working attitude has carried through. Return to Top Club Highlights Since 1975 Saint Andrew's has shown itself as a formidable competitor in schools rowing. This was the first year that Saint Andrew's won the prestigious South African Championships regatta at first VIII level. The early 90's showed a building of what was to become a formidable College rowing machine. 1990 saw the College 1st VIII coming a close second (by a bow ball) at Buffalo regatta, followed by another close second the next year (1991) as well as a second at Champs. 1992 saw Steele-Gray and Lapping winning the 1st pair event at South African Champs. Come 1993 this same pair were selected to row as the South African Junior pair at the Junior World Champs in Norway. The famous College winning streak came in the period 1994-6. With Martin Kennard's dedicated and intelligent coaching the College club was moulded into a fearsome winning machine. In these years College dominated schools rowing. We won SA Champs three years in a row, setting the course record in 1996. In 1996 Richard Watt was awarded rowing honors for his great achievements in rowing. He was the first person ever to row

From the time he was a young boy, Ford enjoyed tinkering with machines. Farm work and a job in a Detroit machine shop afforded him ample opportunities to experiment. He later worked as a part-time employee for the Westinghouse Engine Company. By 1896, Ford had constructed his first horseless carriage which he sold in order to finance work on an improved model. Ford incorporated the Ford Motor Company in 1903, proclaiming, "I will build a car for the great multitude." In October 1908, he did so, offering the Model T for $950. In the Model T's nineteen years of production, its price dipped as low as $280. Nearly 15,500,000 were sold in the United States alone. The Model T heralds the beginning of the Motor Age; the car evolved from luxury item for the well-to-do to essential transportation for the ordinary man. Automobile Assembly,

Club History Home Up Site Map Search ... Feedback The Riverside Boat Club has a distinguished and distinctive history since it was founded in 1869 by employees of the Riverside Press. Throughout its existence, the Club has introduced many to the joys of recreational and competitive rowing. The 1886 Cambridge Atlas indicates a small boathouse at the foot of Albro Street between the Cambridge Electric building and the Riverside Press Building (between River Street and Western Avenue). Unlike the college-educated or Brahmin membership of the Union and Weld Boat Clubs of that era, Riverside consisted largely of middle or working class men, many of whom were successful Irishmen. The Mayor of Cambridge, James P. McNamee, was one of the prominent members and the club maintained strong ties to Cambridge government throughout its first sixty years. Many of the Club's famous national and regional sculling champions from that era have their names on the bows of our fleet; John Murphy, Dick Fleming, Fred Hynes, Pat Berkley, Joe Maguire, Joe White- head and Frank Green all brought laurels back to Riverside. A second boathouse was built on the site of the first one, this time in the shingle style, and remained there until 1911 when it was destroyed by fire. Landscape improvement along the Charles River, and the construction of Memorial Drive begun in 1893 at Mount Auburn Street, caused the club to relocate to its present site, farther east towards the swimming area at Captain's Island. In the spring of 1912, the Club built its present boathouse, a plain two-story hip-roofed structure designed by John McAuliffe.

Mexico had a crumbling economy and there was a high level of poverty in the country. Many Mexicans thought the money spent on the Olympics was wasteful. Mexican students protested on the eve of the Games and just 10 days before the Games the Mexican army fought with 10,000 protestors. Two hundred and sixty people were killed and another 1,200 were wounded. Click for Olympic posters Black American athletes, the Soviets and thirty-two African nations threatened to boycott the Games. The threats pressured the Mexican organizers to convince the IOC to renege on its decision to allow South Africa to participate in the Games.
