The Yale Bulldogs and the Navy Midshipmen inaugurated a new Cup race on Saturday at Mercer Lake. The Cup is named for former Yale lightweight captain Eads Johnson, Jr., Class of 1934. Eads also served in the Navy for “five very long years” as he put it in the ceremony following the races, drawing a long laugh from everyone. On the day, Navy won the varsity race and the first Johnson Cup, while Yale won the 2V race. For full results, click here.
