The Crimson sailing team captured first place in competition with six other colleges for the "Hot Mug" at M.I.T. Friday afternoon. Meets planned for Saturday and Sunday were postponed indefinitely because of snow and strong winds.
The winning Crimson crew scored 22 points by sweeping both firsts in the "A" division and taking two thirds in the "B" events. Ashton Langworthy and Addison Closson skippered the winning class "A" crafts, and Phil Tierney and Tom Townsend piloted the third-place "B" entrants. M.I.T. finished close behind the winners with 19 points, Radcliffe and Northeastern University tied for third place, and Boston College took fourth.
With the victory, the sailors keep the trophy which they have held ever since the "Hot Mug" meets began six years ago. The races are called "Hot Mug" because hot rum is served to the competitors to help them withstand the chilling weather common at this time of year.
