In sharp contrast to the womens
tournament which ended at Army
Navy Country Club yesterday with
second-seeded Margo Lee beating
top-ranked Willie O'Steen Herbert
for the championship, The Stars
girls tennis competition neared its
finish at Friends School today with
one of only two remaining seeded
entrants due to be eliminated as
previously obscured talent came
rapidly to the fore.
Minus the favorite, Betty Jacob
who was trimmed unexpectedly yes
terday by overwhelming Mary
Brookings of Madeira School, the
girls were scheduled to reach the
final round in both singles and
doubles this morning with the pos
sibility that both title matches will
be played tomorrow.
Because of a major girls tourna-
ment in Baltimore next week in
which many Washington lassies are
to compete, an effort was to be
made to wind up the local event in
order to eliminate any possible con-
flict. Baltimore officials, however,
have declared that matters could be
arranged so that the Washington
finals could be played early next
week if desired.
Seeded Survivors Clash.
This morning the only seeded
survivors-second ranked Margot
Parsons of Army Navy Club and
third seeded La Jeanne Echols of
Montgomery Blair High School
were to clash in semi final match.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 22.-Two
great sprinters one smooth
striding picture runner and the other
a stretch-pounding power driver
went to their marks in Minnesota's
Memorial Stadium today for what
promised to be memorable fight
for national collegiate speed laurels.
They were Norwood Ewell of Penn
State and Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford.
Their duel in the 100-yard and 200
yard dash finals OF the 10Th N. c.
A. A. meet shaped up as a fitting
climax to yesterdays preliminary
program, which saw giant AL Blozis
Of Georgetown establish new meet
and American record of Sc feet 4
inch for the shotput, and Southern
California and Stanford wage
great fight for places in the finals.
Near No. l Sprint Title.
Ewell, a Negro speedster who
runs with the effortless style of a
Jesse Owens, indicated yesterday
that he is ready to clinch recogni-
ton as the No. l collegiate sprinter
of the year. His qualifying time of
e.8 seconds for the 100 equaled that
OF Jeffrey, a powerfully built youth
whose strong finish overcomes his
usually slow starts. And in the
220-yard dash, in which Jeffrey will
be defending champion, EWell
turned in a time of 21.3 to 21.8 for
Jeffrey on a track slowed by rain.
Rain deprived yesterdays crowd
of seeing the days standout per-
formance-Blozis' mighty toss of
the shot. Forced into the Minnesota
fleidhouse by soggy turf, the
Georgetown sophomore cracked the
old meet and American record of
IS feet 1923 inches, thereby pre-
cipitating the puzzle whether his
mark, made indoors, would be rec
ognized as an American mark. N.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June a.
There isn't much left to be said
about Harvard's crushing triumph
over Yale in the 18th renewal of
their annual crew race-oldest fix
ture on the intercollegiate sports
calendar No alibis to offer, no IFS
ands-or- to excuse the Ellis
after the Crimson varsity swept
across the finish line eight lengths
in front of its ancient rival. The
Ellis bowed to potent far superior
crew.
1t was the third successive year of
Tom Bolles 4-year regime that his
crews have swept everything on the
program-including a race of the
substitutes Thursday night in the
duel with Yale-to set a record for
the long-standing rivalry and the
Harvards fifth consecutive triumph
over the Blue in varsity competi-
ton. The varsity time was 21:38
for Harvard to Yale's 22:09. The
Junior varsity won in the good time
of 1885 to Yale's HAP, winning
by almost two lengths. The fresh
men scored easily, crossing the line
II lengths ahead.
Harvard's triumph. incidentally,
got it tie in the number of varsity
victories, each having 80 to its
credit.
Stroked by robust Johnny Wilson,
the victors pulled into the lead in
the first half-mile, forcing the
Leader-coached oarsmen to surren-
der slight advantage gained with
a high beat at the start. Harvard
led by deck at the first half f-mile
and gradually increased its margin
until the home stretch hove in view.
At this juncture it possessed
commanding flve-length lead, but
this evidently was not enough for
Coxswain. George Shortlidge. He
decided to run out his men and in
that last tortuous half-mile the
Crimson picked up three full lengths.

the brunt of German air attack
this week as nazi pilots roared
across Britain's coast in intensive

Two German raiders were re-

two more enemy aircraft were

by British fighter planes and that
