Sailors Seek Fifth Big 3 Championship

Clear skies and moderate winds are forecast for the opening of the fall sailing season this afternoon at 1 p.m. on the Charles River.

Three Crimson skippers--Commodore A. C. Langworthy, Fred Hoppin, and Tommy Townsend--will seek their fifth straight Big Three Championship from Princeton and Yale in a nine boat race. Home waters and greater familiarity with the Tech dingies give the local sailors the edge.

On Sunday, John Reed and John Deknatel join Hoppin and Langworthy on the Seekonk River at Providence in the Jack Wood Trophy Pentagonal.
