Engineers Outsail Radcliffe Skippers

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the final trophy event of the fall season, Radcliffe's sailors lost the Victorian Coffee Urn by two points to MIT. Jinxed by the home-team advantage, the Cliffie's were plagued by costly disqualifications.

Light and shifty winds on Saturday gave way to stronger, tricky Easterlies on Sunday down at the Charles. Barbie Grand, with crew Beth Goddard, turned in the best performance of the fall in A-division. With six firsts and three seconds in her twelve races, Grant easily topped her division. In B-division Janice Stroud, with crew-mate Kathy Angell, outsailed her opponents but suffered two foul-outs, costing the team 13 points. The second foul was controversial; Stroud had finished her eighth race in second place, just ahead of MIT. The Techies subsequently protested for a rule infraction. The race committee ruled in favor of the protest despite MIT's improper procedure.

MIT won with 61 points, just ahead of Radcliffe's 63. The Cambridge crews left all other competition far behind.
