Radcliffe sports teams, scored victories in sailing and field hockey, while losing in tennis during the past three days.
By winning the Regis College Inter-collegiate Cup race last Sunday, the Radcliffe sailing team became the No. 1 ranked team in New England.
The victory makes them a heavy favorite in next Sunday's Radcliffe Regatta where they will face eleven other crews, including the perennially strong M.I.T. girls at Harvard's Yacht Club.
The Cliffes' unbeaten string started with a victory over Jackson at Tufts on Sept. 30. Then, on Columbus Day, in the B.U. Regatta, Boston University, Boston College, and Simmons were felled.
Chalmers Sports Win
In the B.U. race, junior Martha Fransson took three firsts in four races and Jane Chalmers '69 two seconds and a first. Miss Chalmers provided some competitive fireworks as she filed protests against each of the other schools in the regatta while she disqualified herself from one race.
And last Sunday Radcliffe won the Regis Cup in about skippered by Miss Fransson and Barbara Edwards '70 by defeating last year's champion from the University of Rhode Island.
The race next Sunday is the first meeting of the year for Radcliffe and M.I.T. It will give the Cliffies a chance to avenge a loss to M.I.T. last year in the same race.
Hockey Winners
The Radcliffe field hockey team beat their country cousins 3-0 yesterday afternoon in the season's opener at Wellesley.
The Cliffies, led by co-captains Phoebe Cutler and Alice Pell, met with little opposition. A strong 'Cliffie defense allowed Wellesley only three shots at goal.
The Cliffie offense was sparked by sophomore center forward Kathy Clark, who scored all three goals for Radcliffe.
Future games are planned with Jackson, the Fly Club, and possibly B.U. or Wheaton.
Tennis Team Loses
In tennis, Radcliffe junior Virginia Storrs advanced to the quarterfinals of the New England College Tennis Tournament for Women at Longwood Cricket Club, before bowing to the No.1 seeded Susan Marray from Wheaton College.
Two Cliffie doubles teams, juniors Leslie Bryant and Carla Shatz, and Virginia Ridgely '70 and Lucy Rauden bush '69, also made the quarterfinals, before being eliminated.
