Sailors Lose Big 3 Meet As Result of Time Mixup

Three Hours Late

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Confusion about starting times caused the University sailing team to arrive three hours late yesterday at Princeton's Lake Carnegie for the Big Three sailing meet, which the Crimson lost for the first time in five years.

The team arrived at noon, an hour before the annual meet usually begins. This meet had begun at 9 a.m., however, and the team therefore was able to compete in only two out of the six races.

Since the team swept both of these races, it could regard the meet with some degree of satisfaction despite its last place finish. Princeton took the honors with 165 points, followed by Yale with 140 and Harvard with 95.

Princeton officials claimed that they told the Crimson team about the change in time. Owens disputed this contention, and said he will investigate the mix-up. He said that the meet was an "unimportant one, anyhow."

The team will travel to the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., this weekend, for the Danmark Trophy meet. Owens doubts whether the team can win the trophy, and expects either Brown or the Coast Guard to take it. The sailors placed third out of four teams in last week's Jack Wood Trophy race.
