Condensed Schedule
To Aid Motorboat
Sport lin Florida

LAKELAND, Fla, April 5.-A
condensed schedule, with more re-
gattas held over a shorter period
OF time, will be considered for the
Florida winter motor-boat racing
circuit when the Florida Yacht Club
Racing Association next meets to
arrange preliminary plans for l94l
Walter Engle of Lakeland, re-
gional chairman of the American
Power Boat Association, has been
requested to present the new plan.
Shortening the schedule by hold
ing regattas in mid-week as well as
on week ends will attract larker
fields and bolster competition On
the winter circuit. it is thought.
The 1910 season just closed saw
eight regattas staged over a period
OF seven week ends.
Fred Brown, chairman of the Ma
tlonal Sweepstakes Regatta Com
mittee of Red Bank, N. j., who Of
hclated at several of the Florida
regattas this winter, says:
Most OF the Northern drivers can
get down only for two or three
weeks at best and they can COM
pete IN not more than two or three
regattas on the present basis. If the
schedule can be revised and races
put on during the week as well as
on week ends these drivers can take
IN more events. This not only will
assure better competition but the
plan Will attract larger numbers of
Northern drivers to the winter cir
cult.
