Favored Navy won the Goes Trophy this morning with a start-to-finish lead over Cornell, holding off the Big Red in the sprint. Syracuse fell back at the start and never was able to get back into the competition, finishng third. The Midshipmen rowed the body of the race in a tailwind at 36 1/2 spm and had about a half length lead over Cornell at the 1,000 meter mark. The Orange eight was open water behind. Cornell took the beat to 38 early in the last 500 but was not able to catch Navy. The race hd a floating start on an alternate course on the Severn River because of conditions.
