Sailors Capture Heat, Earn Berth In Finals

Harvard's sailing team placed first in the third heat of the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association's Dinghy Championship Eliminations last Saturday at the Coast Guard Academy.

The victory entitles Harvard, along with second-place University of Rhode Island, third-place Yale, and the three top teams in the other two elimination heats, to go to the NEISA Dinghy Championship Finals at Yale next month.

Harvard's two boats, manned by Tony Parker (skipper) and Rusty Aertson (crew) in A division and Parker Jayne (skipper) and Matt Dobrow (crew) in B division, scored 70 points in winning the regatta Saturday, Jayne, with 38 points, was the regatta's high-point skipper.

On Sunday, Harvard placed second in the Raven Regatta, also at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. Sophomore Woody Woodworth skippered the Crimson boat.
