Sailors Win Regatta To Win Eastern Title

In a weekend regatta on the Charles, Harvard's sailors defeated eight of the East's finest crews and won their first Eastern Championship in four years. The win made the Crimson and second-place Brown eastern entries in the National Championship races to be held at Detroit next month.

Skippers Fred Hoppin and A. C. Lang-worthy led the Harvard dinghies, winning 141 points, four points more than Brown. Defending champion M.I.T. was third with 136.

The series of ten races was marred by many protests, one of which insured victory for the Crimson. After the ninth Class A event, Harvard, Brown, and M.I.T. skippers all entered protests. M.I.T. lost its case, the race, and the championship.
