 Having tasted victory once, Coach Lew Maniey's Navy-blessed eleven will be far from a pushover for the Niis who open defense of their New Eneland grid title. It was a we'll drilled, superbly conditioned Tufts team that upset Coast Guard lA to 6 in the seasons opener. and the players are not In the last awed eIther by Yale's unbeaten record Of last year, or its superlative pre- season bulldup.
 Though 1t hes been 4S years since the Jumbos last scored on Yale, they are confident they can break the jlnx this time and their conn. dence is based on the showing ot baclfleld twins George Feldman ana Bill Irwin. Feldman is . product Of Erasmus high in Brooklyn. N. Yr the incubator of Sid Luckmasi ot the Chicago Bears and other great forward passers. He can pitch with deadly accuracy running to either side, and iis off-tackle thruSts were a highlight of the Coast Guard clash. Because of rain that day, Tufts kept It's passing game under wraps. However, on one of the few occasions when the JumboS opened up, they scored on . 60.yard for. ward lateral launched by FeldmaIl.

tRerIstered U. 8. Passnt oaaOel
By OSCAR FRALEY Limited Press Sports Wrlter)

New York, Sept. 2e - (Up)-The Poushkeepsie regatta, rowing's piene de resistance which attracts crews from coast to coast for Q test of strength and Synchronization, was being readied today for coTle- back next summer on the broad reaches of the Hudson river.
 Not since June of le4i have the eight.oared spruce shells, their bur- Yaished sides shimmering in the rays of the late afternoon sun, slid through the wake.lined waters ofS Kruni Elbow.
 That was the afternoon the bronzed huskieS of the University Of Washington continued western domination of the event as they led Q record field of nine crews from the time they screamed from their stake boats until Ghey crossed the finish line four hack-breaking miles down river.
 It was the 9th annual regatta and streaming home in front gave Washington the championship for the seventh time. Back of the HuSk- les came California, Cornell. SyTa- cuse, Princeton, Wisconsin, Rutgers, M. I. T. and Columbia.
 COmeback
 Six months later came Pearl Har- bor and the Poughkeepsie regatta was one of the sports casualties. But now it's coming back.
 We are anxious to resume as soon as possible and plan Q meeting of the board Of stewards of the 1tl- tercollegiate Rowing Association late in October or early in Novem. ber," said Asa Bushnell, director Of the last regatta.
 Bushnell, executive director of the central oftice for eastern inter- collegiate athletics, indicated by dis closing this early meeting that the regatta was being given special pre-. ference because the annual inter. collegiate meetings are not held un. til December.
 T believe we can come back next summer If we can get the necessary number of colleges" Bushnell add ed. And l see no reason why we can't. I haven't heard from any of the western colleges and believe that they have been inactive, but Columbia, Cornell and M. I. T. have been keeping the sport alive and Princeton came back this summer"
 The Intercollegiate Rowing Asso- ciation is composed of Navy, Colum- bia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Sy- racuse. The rest of the field usually is composed of guest" schools which have demonstrated their cali- hre during the season. Navy and Penn were in the last regatta in l04I.
 Two Boat Race
 And once again 1t was the west, its shells loaded with Stalwart sons, carrying of the booty. From the cry of "are you ready all? Rowl" Until they hit the finish, it was 6 two-boat race between Washing tons Giants from the northwest and the California Bears. The Huskies had too much with a six foot, eight inch bow man and crew that averaged six feet, 3 1-2 inches. The coxSwain had a nice ride.
 But 1t may be a bit different when they come back to the Hudson next summer. Constant practice might make the East more formidable while the westerners are struggling to regain their strokes. It should be quite a scramble - but you can count on 1t being quite a show.

Living on combined area less than

Islanders have sought their fortunes in
Australia, in Argentina, and in the

At home, islanders make frugal liv-

cattle, producing butter and cheese,
growing fruits and vegetables, and max
ing sweet wines and brandies. They
quarry limestone and marble for build
ing use, work small iron and silver
mines, dig pumice and gypsum, catch
octopuses and squid. They fashion pot
ter's clay into distinctive shapes, make
silk goods and carpets, and process and
market sponges.
For diversion there are cock fights and

Representative Curley is by far the
most colorful of all the defendants. A

he has served previously as Mayor OF
