200 Enroll in New
Civil Air Patrol
Squadrons Here
Units Are Being Formed
At Nearby Virginia and
Maryland Fields
By w. ii. SHIPPEN. Jr.


New war regulations are altering
the whole character of private fly
ing, now that armed fighter patrols
drone over the Washington area
night and day.
At least 200 local pilots, both men
and women, have filled out applica-
tions for enrolment in Civil Air
Patrol squadrons to be organized at
Congressional Airport, on Rockville
Pike and at Beacon Field, on the
Richmond Highway below Alexan-
dria.
Faced with new restrictions, pri-
vate flying for the next few weeks
will be in a period of transition
from individual flight under peace
time regulations to group work in a
Nationwide organization under the
Office of Civilian Defense.
New Rules Given.
The new rules forbid a plane
owner to allow any person to oper-
ate his plane without a pilots GER
tificate revalidated by a C.A.A. in
spector on proof of citizenship
Take-offs are forbidden without
consent of a police officer or re-
sponsible airport official. Private
flyers must remain within 10 miles
of their airportS unless they have
submitted fight plans and obtained
clearance.
Pilots must submit to having
their planes searched by authorized
officials and are required to search
all items of passenger baggage or
cargo.
The only cross-country flying per-
mitted is for business or training
purposes. If cameras are carried,
they must be in compartments mac
cessible to passengers in fight.
After January 8 no pilot can fly
without the rev Identification card
bearing his photograph and finger
prints.
Temporary cards good for 80 days
are being issued and are expected
to be in the hands of local c. A. A.
inspectors soon. it was said.
More than 100 students and pri-
vate and commercial flyers have
applied for enrolment in a Civil
Air Patrol squadron being organ
lied at Congressional according to
Arthur C. Hyde, Maryland wing
commander, c. A. P, and manager
of the airport. The applications
have been returned for approval Of
the Federal authority.
Function of Squads Explained.
A similar number of flyers are
organizing squadron at Beacon
Field. Applications are being re-
ceived from ground personnel as
well as flyers.
Two of the uses of the C. A. P, it
Is believed. will be to afford spot
ting practice at night for search
light batteries and to survey local
areas for good emergency landing
fields
Local flyers who feel the weight
of the red tape, it was said, should
consider the plight of private flyers
on the West Coast, who have been
grounded from Canada to Mexico
and for some $50 miles inland.
This measure was taken, it was
said, to prevent the interceptor COM
mand and spotter services from re-
ceiving reports of airplanes of no
military importance.

CLEVELAND HAS
 NBA TITLE BOUT
Bettina and ChristOfridis TangIe Tonight for
 COnn'S Crown

Cleveland, Jan. 13.-CUP)-Melio Bettina of Beacon, N. r., meets Anton Christoforidis for the Na- tional Boxing Association light heavyweight championship tonight and betting odds of 6-5 that fav- ored Bettina were expected to drop to even money at the ringside.
 Fight followers regarded the 15- round bout, sanctioned by the NBA which has declared it no longer recognizes Billy Conn as champion as pitting the rugged strength of the Italian southpaw against the speed of the Greek portsider.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs injected a tremendous charge of public interest in the match when he called 1t a ."phoney title fight" and exchanged threats of law suits with Cleveland promoters Bob Friedman and Ben Goetz. A crowd of 10000 is expected to send the gate over $20,000.
 Joe Triner, NBA president, will present the winner with the "heri- tage belt" emblematic fthe cham pionship and once worn by Gene Tunney. The fight cannot end in a draw, according to rules, and the winner must defend his title within 50 days against Gus Lesnevicf of New Jersey.

 In the first half of the game the SpartanS did a good job of keeping the s. M. O. C.. down to points and getting 8 points.

M O. c. came back with a terrific shot to put the S., M O. c. out in front at the close of the game by a score of 1917. For the S. M. O. c. Haiday adn DeSchino did most of the scoring with and 6 points re- spectively, while s. Hopkins was high scorer for the losers with points followed by McGee with 4 points.

TRACK WORLD TO SHOW SEVERAL
 NEW 1S41 STARS
Munski Bids for Mile Run TitIe-WOIcOtt Ties
 World Record
BY TOM NooNAN

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Boston, Jan. 13-(UP)-A new crop of board track sensations seemed slated today to dominate the 1941 indoor season.
 Greg Rice, chunky built Notre Dame graduate and winner of the Sullivan award as the nations out standing amateur athlete, was the only member of the "Old Guard capable of defending a meet title as the new season opened at the vet erans of Foreign Wars meet in Bos- ton Garden Saturday night.
 The new meet champions were crowned in five of the SIX specials that highlighted the 24 event pro- gram before 7200 fans.
 Lonesome John Munski, Missouri graduate and Big Six titlist picked three years ago by Glenn Cunning ham to succeed him as mile king, registered his first big indoor triu- mph in continuing his climb to the throne.
 Comes Throguh
 Munski, w4nner of the Princeton invitation mile and the recent Sugar Bowl event, trounced a field of five favorites in the Mayor Maurice J. Tobin special. MunSki stretched his win streak to five with 10-yard victory over Walter Menl, Wisconsin grad and converted two-miler in the comparatively slow thne of 4 min utes, 144 seconds.
 Chuck Fenske, formerly of Wis., consin and 1940 indoor ruler, was far in the ruck and only gained at the expense of rapidly tiring Leslie Mac Mitchell, New York University grad-. uate who set the pace over half the distance.
 Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute att- lete who came by plane for his New England debut and second board track appearance of his meteoric career, flew to twin wins in the Ar thur Duffy 50 yard dash and the William A. Reilly 45 yard high hur- dles. He equalled the worlds indoor record of 5.7 seconds in the hurdles. Roy Cochran, Indiana junior and topnotch low hurdler, whipped into /. the lead at the start of the George W. Cronin memorial 600 and never was headed. Defending titlist Jim Herbert, N. Y. U. grad, was fading { third.
 Two New Stars
 Campbell Kane, Cochran's class mate, powered through a classy field to cop the Paul A. Dever half mile. Kane, national collegiate titlist and second in this event last year, de- feated James H. Kehoe, Jr., formerly of Maryland, by a foot. The perfor- nance of Kehoe, who never has won a big-time trophy race, was nearly as impressive. John Borican, negro portrait painter who holds three middle-distance records, was an out diStanced third while defending champion Charlie Beetham, former ly of Ohio State, was fourth.
 Rice, who probably has the short est stride and the biggest heart in track, took command on the 17th lap of the 9 lap race and then fought off the stretch challenge of Don Lash, Indiana State Trooper. to score the most popular triumph of the meet. Lash, comeback bound after being surpassed in the two mile division by Rice last season, finished second.

ANENT DOODLEBUGS
DID YOU EVER SEE A DOODLEBUC?

for the neighborhood. This one had
brass fittings and on the end of the
forked stick was a small tube, said to
contain a secret chemical. We watched
this man walk toward a producing oil
well, carrying the device before him
with his two hands. Suddenly the pro-
truding tube pointed earthward
Here, you take it, the operator said
to by-stander.
The by-stander, who was not in on
the demonstration, carried the device as
directed and at exactly the same spot it
pointed downward. We blindfolded the
operator, drove him around the section
and walked him up to the same spot
and each time the device would point
downward at the imaginary line where
the oil pool began.
The industry called these operators
doodebugs" and the rig they used was
called "doodlebug" Everyone laughed
at them but every once in a while a
doodlebug location would come in a big
well. A notable example was the big
Radigan-Hungerford we'll on the Adams
farm. This, we are told, was actually
a doodlebug location and it came in
multi thousand barrel well. Wells
around it were dry holes On the adj
jacent Steele farm was another isolated
oil well-spotted by doodlebug. Sur
rounding wells were dry. Then another
doodlebug located a we'll on another
Adams farm farther south, and brought
i'll the Bethel-Adams gasser. With one
possible exception, that was the largest
gasser ever completed in the state of
Montana Certainly it is the largest
gasser producing from the lime. 1t had
an initial of some 100000 cubic feet
per day But it was cursed" by the
fact that it was a doodlebug location
and the enigma of that gigantic flow
has never been solved.
As times changed, so changed the
doodlebugs They evolved from willow
sticks into the brass-mounted variety;
then came bugs" equipped with bat
teries and wires. Latest models have
vibrators which record the mysterious
gravity pull, else flash lights. Some
resemble plumb-bob, such as the car
penter uses. These are suspended from
the hand and after time they start
moving, either in a circular motion or
possibly in an elipse, the operator in
terpreting these motions as indicative
of the proximity of an oil pool
There are probably many out-and
out dishonest doodlebug operators and
there are many more who appear to be
very sincere in their belief in their in
struments. We have been told by friends
who have operated them that they ac-
tually do respond to some force or en-
ergy which cannot be explained. There
are few oil operators who at one time or
another has not been sold" on one of
