Surprise of the Day.

The surprise of yesterday was the
sudden leap into second place among
the contestants in section 8 of Irving
Cole, the champion salesman of
Takoma Park. Cole won first honors
in his group in the September con-
test. but displayed no evidence of
desire to land one of the Berberich
prizes until he handed a scare to Joe
Turner. the Chevy Chase man, who
has serenely occupied first place from
the beginning and was fast coming
to the belief that the premier prize
was to be a walkaway for him. With
Chevy Chase pitted against Takoma
Park a sectional rivalry is to be ex-
pected from now on. and community
pride promises to be a factor in the
race. Georgetown also has its cham
rion, but both Anacostia and Langdon
are slow in making their presence
manifest.
