The Crimson sailing team lost three meets over the weekend as swift M.I.T. boats took all the first places.
In a dual meet at M.I.T. Saturday afternoon, the Engineers swept all six positions in the fifth and final race to win, 3 to 2. Tech won the first two heats by close scores, but A. C. Langworthy and Fred Hoppin came through with first for the Crimson in the next two heats, to tie the score before the fatal fifth heat.
Teach Wins Trophy
At Brown on Sunday, the Engineers triumphed for the third straight year in the Lucian Sharpe Trophy competition, defeating Crimson sailors, and teams from the University of Rhode Island, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, and the Coast Guard Academy. Crimson skipper in the "B" division, Addie Closson, had a tough break in the third heat when he was disqualified because his centerboard became fouled in the anchor line of the windward marker. In the "A" division, Fred Hoppin won the seventh heat, but it was not enough to place the Crimson high in the final standings.
In a triangular meet at Babson Sunday, Crimson crews placed second with 18 points behind the winning M.I.T. total of 22. Skippers George Cronin and Jim Phillipps both placed second in their divisions.
