College Navy Hoists Sail Today in Basin

Commodore Pote Putnam's navy--three dinghies--takes to the waves this afternoon in a race to the finish, with MIT, the terror of the local seas. The craft will maneuver in the Basin.

With almost 1500 sailors turning out daily to hoist dinghy sails in the afternoon, MIT has plenty of experienced material to draw from. Its present squadron already has carried off the Oberg Trophy for Boston's Greater Dinghy Championship, leading the Crimson, which took second, by a sizeable margin.

Skippers for today's crucial race are Pete Putnam, Charlie MacElroy, and either Mike Post or Pete Double.
