Header above the photo reads 'The New London, Conn., Evening Day, Tuesday, June 9, 1953' and the photo caption reads 'YALE FRESHMAN FIREMEN--Edward Bilkey of Cambridge, Mass., who rows No.4 on the Yale Freshman crew in training at Gales Ferry, is the proud owner of a fire engine. The Eli youngster, who has antique-collector tendencies, bought the 1926 model pump truck from the Ledyard Fire company and took it to the Gales Ferry crew camp where he is shown busily polishing the brass fittings. Bilkey and his crewmates face the Harvard freshmen on Regatta day, Friday.'
