The Harvard Flying Club won places in three races at the opening of the Worcester Airport yesterday. A crowd of 40,000 people saw the races. A. U. Pabst 3L., starting from scratch in the lightplane handicap race, finished third, and won a cash prize of $125. Crocker Snow '26 flew in the handicap race for all planes of high horse-power, and finished fifth. In this same race, Fisher Ames 2L., flying his own plane, finished third. Ames, who is Vice-President of the Flying Club, also entered the race for high powered commercial craft with his own plane, and took second.
This set of races is the first contest of the kind ever entered by members of the club. The new Cartis Travelair plane, the fastest ship in its class, was taken as par in the light plane handicap. It passed several planes which started ahead of it, and took third prize.
The Flying Club is planning to enter other races in Providence later in the season, according to W. N. Bump '28, President of the Club.
