Cup Regatta program.
For today and tomorrow a Spe-
cial rivalry will unfold itself which
should include in it's unfolding all
the thrills the water sports fan
could desire.
It will come in the Presidents
Cup race itSelf-a race featuring
the cream of Gold Cup boats,
headed by the Ell Lagarto, driven
by that peerless speed demon,
George Refs, of Bolton Landing,
New York, N. Y, if you please.
Now, George Refs has won this
race for many years in the his
tory of local regattas. No matter
how hard his competitors have
tried, the same Mr.. Refs has al
ways managed to pilot the Ell La
garto over the finish line by the
time all the heats have been re-
corded.
Mean Business
This year, the "boys" are out to
stop him. Edmond Guggenhei1n,
of Saranac Lake, N. Y, with his
Miss Saranac, is one who believes
he might turn the trick. Jack
Dunn with his Jay Dee is another.
Still others are Victor KleiSrath,
with his Hotsy TotSy, Herbert
Mendelson, with his Notre Dame
and Horace Dodge, with his Imp
Shi.
To be sure, this takes in all of
the Gold Cup boats entered in the
race. But every owner and driver
has pointed to take" Refs this
year and they believe this is the
occasion of occasions. It should
be most thrilling race and one to
keep everybody on edge in each
Of the two heats and finals.
The races today begin at II a.
m. The outboardS take up the
greater part Of the program for
the first few hours. but late in the
afternoon, the 81 cubic inch, 135
cubic inch, and the Presidents
Cup first heat are on schedule to
add to the interest of the show.
The latter event gets under way
at 2:40 p. m.
OutbOards Have Inning
The outboards start tomorrow's
races with the 225-cubic inch
Presidents Cup second heat and
final, the Class H inboard and the
American Speedboat champion.

Qualifying Starts Today
Too, most of the clubs are near
ing the end Of championship
tournaments. Congressional and
Chevy Chase have completed
their championships, while quail
flying in the championship at
washington will be held today
and tomorrow. Those paired for
match play have one week in
which to complete each match.
Qualifying in the club cham
pionship at Columbia begins Mon
day with the final rounds to be
completed a week from today.
A feature match in today's semi
finals of the Manor Club cham
pionship finds Harry G. Pitt and
Hickman Greene opposing.
Greene was victimized by Roger
S. Peacock, 3 and 2, in the final
round of the District amateur
championship at the washington
Golf and Country Club yesterday.
Peacock, medaliSt and tourney
favorite, fulfilled all predictions.
Of course, he was favored by the
breaks in his match with Greene
as well as his tilt with S. Levi
Yoder, Indian Spring, in the
semifinals. Yet, withal, he was
the outstanding golfer in the field,
and richly deserved his triumph.
Extended by Yoder
Peacock was furnished a keener
struggle by Yoder in the semi
finals, defeating his club mate, l
up. They battled evenly until the
fifteenth where Peacock gained
the decisive edge with a birdie
four. They halved the remaining
three holes.
Greene and Peacock were all
even at the termination of nine
holes in their final round match.
Peacock went one up by winning
the twelfth only to surrender his
margin by three-putting the thir.
teenth. He quickly seized the next
three holes to take the match and
championship. At the fourteenth,
Peacock got a par three to regain
his one hole lead, increased it at
the fifteenth by laying Greene a
stynie and closed out his rival
with a par four at the sixteenth,
Greene topping his drive to take
a S.

Colonial Opener
Typical Show
For Fans
BY GARRETT WATERS

1t was a typical George Wash
lngton University show out at
Griffith Stadium last night when
the Colonials opened their season
with a comfortable, if not senSa-
tional, 12-to-0 victory over Emory
and Henry, of Emory, Va.-you
know, that little college from
Virginia.
There were the red, white and
blue uniforms of the George
Washington warriors. There was
Tuffy Leemans, big, powerful and
faSt-running back. There was
Jack Espey, high-pressure pub
licity man.
There were fireworks, sand
wicheS and coffee for the press
box boys. There were the an
nouncers, who will be better after
a few weeks of practice.
There was the band, the cheer
leaders, the cheers, a nice big
crowd of 5000, a football game,
with a white football and every
thing. And, goodness knows
what else.
Parade Absent
However, the item which lacked
was the absence of a parade by
the band in between the halves.
Max Harrington came quickly to
the defense of this by stating the
horn-tooters hadn't been at school
long enough yet to get into trim,
that it was proved even by the
fact that not man had his uni
form. Also, that the proud band
leader had left his platoon hat
and wand at home.
All of that was very well. But
the football lads showed one thing
that must be patched up before
the big games come. And that is
that Mr.. "Possum Jim" Pixlee,
coach, must strengthen the enl
play of his team.
The remainder of the teams
play was good, however. OF
course, there was that Leemans
guy again. He scored one touch
down and was a party to the
other-heaving a pass to Hanken
in the first quarter.
One of the interesting sidelights
of the entire evening was the con-
duct of Coach Petey Jackson, Of
Emory and Henry. Instead OF
taking his men to the showers be-
tween the halves, he kept them
on the Sidelines and talked and
raved over their errors all the
while Jack Espey's fireworks were
entertaining the crowd.
Make Trick Play
Another bit Of entertainment
was offered by Coach Jackson'S
men when they tried and made
good on a fake kick play in the
second quarter. Clark faxed a
punt and Kegley took the ball
on a trick reverse and ran around
end for yards, yards and yards
1t was good.
And, there were the antics OF
those announcers again. On one
occasion, the chief voice man.
informed the crowd that Leemans
had just punted when it was Plot
nicki instead. The 5000 got a real
laugh out of this as it was only
announced a moment before that
Plotnicki had entered the game in
Leemans' position.
Finally, the Nolan Motor Com.
pany blimp, trying desperately to
attract attention with it's lighted
add "of the air." all the while the
fireworks were clouding the skies
and holding everybody's attention.
Yep, it was good, but all in keep
ing with the show George Wash
ington knows how to give its foot
ball-following public.

almost a prohibitive choice to re-

Stark has been active against
the strongest players available all
summer, and only last week faced
80 opponents in a simultaneous
match.
Donald H. Mugridge, twice
former champion, and regarded
as Stark'S leading challenger, has
not had the time to devote to the
game which would keep him on
razor edge. He has been working
hard for the past two weeks

Stark will find him no setup.
Only four men are taking part
in the championship tournament
with Stark meeting a newcomer,
