Annex Challenges Crimson Sailors

Shirts at Stake?

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard's yacht team has a real race on its hands.

Radcliffe has just restored yachting as an official sport after a war time lapse of several years, but Annex sailors already are planning to sweep all rivals from the Charles.

First on their list are the Harvard yachtsmen, and three Radcliffe girls who can trim the sheets with the best of them have challenged Pete Putnam, commodore of the Harvard dinghy crews, in a race for the Charles River crown.

The intrepid three are Rona Jaffe '51, Felicia Reed '52, and Betty Trygstad '52.

Past Radcliffe-Harvard athletic relations have generally centered around crew, and during the war a Radcliffe eight scored an upset win over a Harvard beat. The Misses Jaffe, Reed, and Trygstad were hopeful that this feat could be repeated, but expressed fear that if they lost, crew custom might prevail in which case they would be forced to give their shirts to the victorious Harvardians.
