Heading into the final third of the regatta, Potts and Darst had climbed to within five points of the Yale squad. Two first-place finishes and a second brushed the leaders aside, and established the Crimson duo as best in the division by four points.

The cumulative ranks of the two divisions placed Harvard ten spots ahead of Tufts for the overall title. Yale took third place.

The Crimson succeeded throughout the day on Sunday despite the boats raced—MIT’s technical dinghies.

The boats are used exclusively by the Engineers and have been a source of some trouble for the Harvard sailors in the past, but not on this occasion.

“I’ve sailed {technical dinghies] the past two years, so I’ve become pretty familiar with them.” Potts said.

Women’s Victorian Coffee Urn Regatta

In the most interestingly named regatta of the year, the Crimson women faced similar conditions to the co-eds just down stream, and dispatched them with equal success.

In the ‘A’ division, freshman skipper Genny Tulloch paired with junior crews Liz Lord and Clemmie Everett, with Everett filling in for Lord during races two through four.

Tulloch and Lord encountered difficulty from the onset, placing twelfth in the first race of the regatta.

Tulloch and Everett quickly recovered, however, winning the next race, and placing third and fourth in the two that followed.

With Lord back on board in lieu of Everett, the ‘A’ boat finished Saturday with another victory among four top-six performances.

Heading into Sunday, the Crimson trailed Charleston by eight ranks and Tufts by four.

Sunday changed little in the way of the standings, with the duo of Tulloch and Lord unable to gain any ground on the two leaders, and in fact slipping three ranks further behind Charleston and two more behind Tufts, to finish in firm possession of third place.

Though the initial 12th-place finish diminished Harvard’s chances of victory in the ‘A’ division, the third-place finish was primarily attributable to Charleston and Tufts simply out-sailing the Crimson team.

Charleston placed in the top-two five times and never once lower than eighth. While Tufts was less consistent on the water, the Jumbos did win four of the 10 races, propelling the team to a second-place finish, just ahead of the Crimson.
