Heavy Winds Cancel 'Big 3' Sailing Clash

The Big Three Knapp Trophy sailing competition was blown out at Yale yesterday by nearly gale force winds. But, before cancelling the meet, officials attempted to get the first race underway in the heavy winds.

One Harvard boat capsized, the second boat's mast went down, and the third ran into the first course marker. Yale and Princeton fared equally well. The meet will be rescheduled for a midwinter date at Larchmont, N.Y.

In the Quadrangualer at New London, Conn., the Crimson's second team finished third, behind M.I.T. and Coast Guard, while edging Boston College. John Archibald in the Raven, Oliver Everett in the K-boat, and Desmond Fitzgerald and Rodney Tenney in the International Twelves skippered the Crimson to its third place total of 72 points. M.I.T. piled up 107 to win the meet.
