MIDDIES TAKE JV8; SU EDGES CORNELL FOR SECOND

Navy's second varsity eight made it three for three for the Middies in this morning's racing on the Severn River. Navy pulled away to open water in the last 500 meters as Syracuse and Cornell fought stroke-for-stroke for second place. The Orange-Big Red finish was so close that there was no imnediate word on which crew finished first. When it came it was good news for SU - the Orange taking second by what at first was reported as about a bow ball but the offical results show as a length.

  According to Navy's on-line announcer the race was rowed with a steady 15 mph tailwind from the northwest, causing significant swells on the water. SU did not have a boat in the freshman competition.
