Eight Contests Listed
For First National
Event in Glass
Field Of More Than 40
Expected to Compete
Tomorrow, Sunday
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

by MALCOLM LAMbORNE, Jr.
The first national championship
regatta of the Penguin Glass Dinghy
Association which opens at An
napolis, Md, tomorrow will bring
to close one of the most success
full sailing seasons on Chesapeake
Bay-a year In which the national
defense effort has increased rather
than retarded the sport in this
area.
Annual meeting for the election
OF officers will be held at Annapolis
Yacht Club, regatta headquarters,
tonight, with actual competition for
the title scheduled to begin tomor-
row at 10 am. just off the United
States Naval Academy.
Glass officials here have received
entries from Washington, Balti-
more, Annapolis, the Eastern Shore,
Long Island Sound, Barnegat Bay
and the Pacific Coast
Eight Races on Program.
The regatta will consist of a series
OF eight races and is opened to all
members of the P. c. D. A. sailing
measured and approved dinghies.
First three races will be open to
all contestants sailing as a single
fleet. The field then will be di-
vided into two divisions based on
the results of the first three races.
Glass President William Heintz
Of Arlington, Va, explained that
Division 1 will consist of shippers
who have finished in the upper
half in the first series, while Divi-
sion II will be made up of the re-
manning so per cent. Each division
then will sail five races-three to-
morrow afternoon and the remain
der Sunday morning.
Division I shippers will compete
for the penguin title and the An
napolis Y. c. Trophy; winner in
Division II will be awarded the
Presidents Trophy sponsored by
HeintZ.
Paul Morris, Seattle (Wash.) radio
announcer and winner of the pen
guin races of the Presidents Cup
here last week end, will head the
list of out-of-toWn sailors compet-
ing in the nationals. The Wash
ington area alone will be repre-
sented by at least IL boats.
Annapolis Y. c. Is Host.
Shippers, their crews and associa-
tion officials will be the guests of
Annapolis Y c. at a dance to be
held at the club tomorrow night.
The fact that Washington played
host to 148 sailing shippers and
their boats last week adds weight
to the contention of observers that
this has been the bays most sue
cessful sailing year. The field Ger
tainly was the largest for the local
cup regatta in seven years sailing
has been a part of the event.
Virtually all clubs on the bay area
have hung up records for number of
entries in this seasons regattas.
The So large yachts that COM
peted recently in the 1O0-mile Cedar
Point race from Gibson Island,
Md, represented the largest fleet
ever gathered for a long distance
race on the Chesapeake. In fact, it
was one of the biggest ocean racing
fleets on the East Coast this or any
other year.
Better than 40 penguins are ex-
pected out for the nationals tomor-
row-and if they show up in that
number it will set another record
for entries competing in national
championship on the bay.

W. HOPPE AGAIN PROVES BOSS OF
 BILLIARD WORLD
Champion in Great Form as He Stops Schaefer 5O-
 34 With Run of Eleven
BY E. w. KIECKHEFER United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

(Un1Ceu Press Stan COFFeSpOndent)
 Chicago, Feb. 15-(UP)-The win- ner and still champion of the world at three-cushion billiards - Willie Hoppe!
 There was a sparkle in the old masters eye as his skill and luck carried him through his match last night with Jake Schaefer of Chi cago, 50 to 34 in 39 innings. This was the Hoppe who last year de- feated 20 consecutive opponents to carry home to New York the big gold trophy and who collapsed at the billiard table under severe at- tack of influenza only six weeks ago.
 Across the table was his old op- ponent, runner-up to him last year and fighting to tie him for the lead in this years championship match. Young Jake" alone among the 1T contestants had a mathematical chance to defeat Hoppe for the title. But 1t was only 8 mathematical chance, for the champion was su- perior in every department.
 At the end of the third block the score was tied at three points. Hop pc scored double ill the fourth and then came the coup that bowled over the chaLenger-a run of II in the fifth. It began with a bridge shot and seemed to run on effort lessly. Schaefer tried to match 1t, but missed after he had run five and from that point o nit was tussle for the advantage that always stayed with Hoppe.
 Safety Shots
 Six times Schaefer played for a safety, hoping to defeat Hoppe by leaving the difficult shots. But Hop- pc each time turned the tables on him by countering with another safety, except in the 31st inning when he accepted Schaeffer's chal- lenge and made billiard on the shot.
 There could hardly be any doubt but that Hoppe had the breaks as well as the skill. At least twice he made shots so closely that Schaefer was on his feet and drawing his cue and had to be waved down again.
 But for schaefer, it was the "best game I've ever played" Whether his pretty wife shared his seIlti- ments was doubtful; she sat in the crowded grandstands, packed with 1,50O spectators, a handkerchief spread between her perspiring hands, worrying for Jake.
 This left Hoppe with 16 victories and one defeat, undisputed cham pion. Schaefer, with IA victories and three defeats. automatically took second place. Hopes share of the $20,000 prize money was $2,500 plus IA per cent cut of the gross gate over $l5,OO0-a total of about 5000. schaefer received $500 and 12 per cent of the gate.
