Potomacs Winners
In 4-0ared Gig in
Philadelphia
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star,
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July S.
Potomac Boat Club oarsmen won
the 4-oared gig race in the annual
Peoples Regatta on the Schuylkill
River yesterday and but for an
excusable lapse near the finish of
the race might have figured in the
intermediate single SOULS.
Lannigan was third in his qualify
ing heat after leading in the first
half mile. Evidently intent on saw
ing himself for the final he pulled
up too soon after turning over the
lead to Luke H. Grace, jr., of New
York, and Albert De Angels of
worcester, Mass, nipped the Potomac
bladesman at the finish line.
Rowing in the victorious gig in
addition to Lannigan, who stroked
the crew, were James O'Brien, Ernie
Millar and Ed Mason. Bob Stovall
was coxswain.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Yale men
are dispirited over the clean sweep
OF Harvard crews on the Thames
last Friday.
The loss of the varsity 4-mile race,
the fifth consecutive triumph for the
Crimson, is regarded as a special
cause for concern. This not only
because it is a long string of defeats,
but because, looking ahead, Yale
discerns no prospect of breaking it.
In their long history of aquatics,
both Yale and Harvard have known
sequential defeats over periods as
long as the present lustrum, but it is
likely that neither ever looked into
future SO dark as seems to cloud
Yales forward vision.
Different From Other Sports.
The convincing defeat of the Eli
freshmen by their Cambridge rivals
Is but phase of the dolorous fore
cast. But it is bad enough, even so.
1t is an interesting fact about row.
Ing that a good freshman crew al
most certainly will be translated
into a formidable varsity eight.
In football, or, to a somewhat
lesser degree, in track, this is not
nearly so likely to be the case. Fresh
man track men, especially if they
have been overworked in secondary
schools, may burn out as yearlings
or upperclassmen, while, in football
factors may, and do, arise to dis
count the accession of sophomore
material.
But in rowing, an oarsman is an
oarsman and save in rare exceptions
he improves in technic year by year
just as he advances in stature and
Drawn. Consequently, the manner
in which the Cantab1gian Cubs
roWed down the New Haven young
sters is an augury filled, from Yale
viewpoint, with menace.
Crimson Is Getting Material.
But aside from this, Harvard has
been benefiting in recent years by
the spread of rowing enthusiasm
among Massachusetts, high schools
and private preparatory schools.
Most of the products of these insti-
buttons trend as matter of course
to Cambridge and while Yale is fed
by some schools which go in for
aquatics, notably Kent, the number
Is not nearly so great as that of high
schools and academies within the
Harvard sphere of influence.
Edward Leader, Yale's coach,
spoke of this condition two or three
years ago and predicted Harvards
present satisfactory position.
No Yale man who possesses any
knowledge of sweep-swinging has a
word of censure for Leader. Over
period Of Is years, he has demon

Disobeying Anchoring Rules
Saves Yuchtsn1un's Boat

A local yachtsman by disobeying
the new harbor regulations last week
saved his valuable luxury cruiser
from serious damage and probable
destruction in the furious Zine"
squall that swept downtown Wash

He had just arrived here from
Florida with a 65-foot yacht and
anchored in the area between the
foot of P street and Hams Point.

Cancellation of the Presidents
Cup 3-mile swim, sponsored each
year by Washington Canoe Club,
has been announced following a
decision of the clubs Board of
Governors.
Insufficient funds and expenses
attendant to repairing the club and
club property from ravages of the
Potomac" were given as reasons for
calling of the event which has
attracted some of the country's best
long-distance swimmers.
1t will be the first time in 18 years
since the year President Calvin
Coolidge presented the cup-that
the event has not been staged.

NATIVE LOST
 ON DOUGLAS
 ISLAND HUNT
Starving Companion Says Shorfridge Missing
 Since Saturday

Missing since last Saturday when he started out in starving condi- tion to hunt something to eat ln the Hilda Creek country on the other side of Douglas Island, Cal win Shortridge, 2l, Douglas native youth, became the object of a concerted search effort today.
 The story of Shortridge's dsap- pearance was told last night by his hunting companion, Daniel James, who returned to Douglas after a series of hardships.
 A launch from the Coast Guard cutter Haida set out this morning to round Douglas Island to Hilda Creek, directly across the island from the town of Douglas.
 Stcrmbound, Shcrt of Food
 Shortridge and James left Doug las November IT on a hunting trip to the southern tip of the island. There they were stormbound for two days before being able to pro- ceed along Stephens Passage in a small boat to Hilda Creek.
 Their food ran out on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and they luck fly shot a porcupine which kept them alive a few more days.
 Last Saturday the two youths set out from Hilda Creek on separate trails in desperate effort to shoot another porcupine or anything they could eat. James returned unsuc- cessful. Shortridge did not return.
 First Search Fails
 The next day, James managed to take the boat back to the lower end of the island, where he ob- tained food at the Claus Larson farm. He returned to Douglas and set out again immediately wit h Earl Shortridge, brother of the missing youth, to search for him.
 Shortridge's trail in the snow was discovered and followed for miles. The searchers found he had finally started to cross the top of the island toward Douglas, but had taken the wrong draw and came out again on the other side of the island.
 Telltale Tracks
 The last tracks discernible under new snow showed Shortridge to have been barely dragging himself along. But the searchers were un- able to find him and returned to Douglas yesterday
 James L. Hobgood, Principal of the Juneau-Douglas Native School, was notified. He enlisted the aid of the Haida.
 This morning a search party led by Ensign H. L. Morgan, and in cluding James, Shortridge and Joe Stevens, left the Channel in a Haida launch Nothing had been heard from the searchers this af- ternoon.
 Shortridge is the son of Mrs. Tom Jimmie of Douglas.

Here's How Expert Balks Defensive Trump Maneuver
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

During our stopover at Columbus, O., we also had the pleasure of playing against Mrs. George (Cecile )Guthrie, an experienced national tournament player. It is interesting to recall that Morrie Ellis of New York. who will un- doubtedly be selected as the out standing player of 1940 having already won two world champion ship events. won his first Master Point in 1884 when he and Mrs. Guthrie won the Presidents Pair event at Asbury Park.
 Today,s hand demonstrates Mrs. Guthrie's excellent play. She won the opening lead and led club for the finesse of the queen. East won and led a second heart, forc- ing declarer to ruff.
 Mrs. Guthrie cashed the club ace, then came back with the ace of trumps to cash the jack of clubs for the discard of dummy's third heart. Thus the South hand was saved the necessity of ruffing any more hearts. Such forces would establish sure trump tricks for the opponents.
