 AGAIN FITTED
 IN BIG RACE
Endeavor Offers Another Stern Challenge to
 America s Cup

LONDON, Nov. IA. Another chapter is scheduled to be written next year in one of the keenest and most protracted rivalries be- tween nations in the history Of sports.
 Spurred by the success of Vel sheda,' which established herself this year as the class of British yachts, a challenge for "the Amer ica's cup" has been sent to the United States by the International Yacht Racing Union.
 The challenge was issued, how ever, not on behalf of 'Velsheda" and her owner, w. L. Stephenson, but on behalf of new craft, "En- deavor." to be built along "Velshe- das" lines for T. O. M. Sopwith, aviation pioneer and sportsman.
 Is Fifteenth Challenge
 Sopwith, who thus marks the fifteenth challenge to be given to the United States in the history of the trophy, first won in 1851 and ever since successfully defend ed by American yachtsman, is the owner of Shamrock "" the last craft with which the late Sir Thomas Lipton attempted to break Americas continuity of victories.

 "All being well Nicholson says i've hope that the race may be sailed next summer MT. Sopwitf has proved himself born helms man and always shippers his owr boats, so that he will most likely do so in this race
 While it is expected that var ious refinements of design will bt incorporated, the new yatcht vii follow the lines of "Velsheda" which launched last April, came througf the 1933 season with 20 frs places out of total of A races

JUST AN OVERSIGHT

A scoreless tie with Clemson appears difficult to explain until it is shown that seven of the best G. w. players were on the side lines that afternoon. Our reports do not specify why they were thus spending the afternoon while the old alma mater was struggling against the South Carolinans, es- pecially as all seven were largely instrumental in the victory over Auburn the following week. Maybe it was just an oversight.
 The George Washington slate for November calls for games with Tennessee, Washington and Jeffer- son, University of Tulsa (which defeated Kansas) and then Kansas itself. This covers lot of ter ritory and will furnish the index to just where the capital city
