10 to II Boats Figured to Stort
In Presidents Cup Feature
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Eric Greenleaf. chairman Of the
power division of the Presidents
Cup Regatta, said today he was
counting on a starting field of from
10 to II boats in the feature cup
race this Saturday and Sunday, with
five of them Gold Cup craft.
At the same time ending a rumor
that Herb Mendelson's three-time
winner, Notre Dame, would put in
an appearance, Greenleaf said he
had learned from Detroit yesterday
that Mendelson's boat definitely was
out.
What caused the buzz of excite
ment over Notre Danes alleged re-
turn to the Potomac was this:
Dan Arena drove Notre Dame to
victory here in 1910 for Mendelson.
Since then Arena became the owner
of Gold Cup racer which he drove
in the Labor Day event at Detroit.
He broke down near the finish Of
the grind and proceeded to sell the
racer, Miss Golden Gate, to Albin
F. Fallon, also of Detroit.
That left Arena a free agent and
there was Notre Dame in Detroit
unused. However, Arena left De-
troit yesterday for his home in
California, and unless Mendelson
changes his plans. the racer won't
be here. Notre Dame also took the
Presidents Cup in 1887 and 1885.
Fallon will be on hand with the
ex-Arena racer, this time named
Miss Great Lakes Another late
Gold Cup entry is William S. Sproh's
Pepsi Cola III, also from Detroit
She is the former Duke. Already
signed up are E. A. Wilson's Miss
tCanada, 1889 winner here, from
Ingersoll ontario; Bill Cantrells
Why Worry, from Louisville, KY
and the favorite. Guy Lombardo's IS
Tempo vi, from Freeport Long
Island
The rest of the fleet will be made
up of 225-cubic-inch hydroplanes
which have been permitted to join
the show. Greenleaf estimates con-
servatively that five or six of the
225s will compete along with the
Gold Cup job.
Greenleaf figures that drivers OF
a majority of the 225s expected out
will save their outfits for the two

Roosevelt Gridders
GET Thrill as Pro
Assists Coach
By GEORGE Huber

Phil Fox, Roosevelt High football
coach. is receiving some aid from
his brother Sam, former Ohio State
standout and now pro with the
Detroit Lions. Sam has an injured
ankle and is here for a two-week
rest. The Rough Riders are getting
quite a thrill out of having pro
player show them how it's done
in the big leagues.
Three weeks of hard work has
whipped the Riders into much bet
ter shape than expected. The team
has more weight than usual but
apparently lacks speed. 1t also is
woefully inexperienced in many
positions. Two Of the starting play
ers, Tom O'Reagan and Nick Wallis,
both guards, are third-semester
boys. They're 180-pounders. The
fullback slot will be filled by either
Jack Hayes, a freshman, or Bill
Trott, 17-year-old sophomore. An
other sophomore who is leading for
a regular berth is Robert Ellis,
19O-pound center.
Chamberlain Looks to 1947.
Another green team which is
looking more to next season than
this is Chamberlain, which makes
its gridiron debut on Friday at
Tech. Warmup scrimmages this
week show Chamberlain with a
good defense but bit weak offen-
sively. Among the defensive stand
outs are Ben Swartz, big full
back; Gus Caperonis, hefty
tackle, and Hawk Donohue, lanky
left end.
Gus Bouratis, the little spark
plug of Central's basket ball team
last winter, has transferred to
Chamberlain and is earning a reg
ular position at quarterback. In
yesterdays scrimmage he ran sew
eral punts back to where they
started. Chamberlain, incidentally
is the weakest school here numeric-
ally, with Coach Frank Cairo able
to count only % players on his
squad.
G. w., Western Travel.
George washington Hlgn OF Alex
andria and Western are travelling
to Richmond for games this week
end, the Presidents playing Thomas
Jefferson on Friday night and the
Red Raiders meeting st. Chris
topher on Saturday. G. w. will
use the same starting lineup as il
used in last weeks winning debut
against Mount Vernon, with the ex-
ception Of Ken Zones, who goes al
right halfback. A sprained ankle
kept him away last time.
Dan Dudley, left guard, came ou'
Of the opener with a bad shoulder
but he probably will be able to play
by Friday night. Reports from
Richmond tab TT as smaller ane
not as strong as usual, and the
Presidents see a chance to come
out a winner.

6-Day-0Id Daughter
Causes Bowie 10 Muff
D. T.. Amateur Berth
By MerrelI WhittIesey

If Buddy Bowie's 6-day-old daugh-
ter some day asks her daddy why
didn't you win the District amateur
golf championship in 1916 like you
were supposed to?" Buddy might
answer because they picked an in
opportune day to bring you home
from the hospital"
Buddy. who can do no wrong at
Columbia, where he is club cham
pion, was solidly backed by the Co.
lumbla members to beat BroWnell,
Bogart, Burnett and company over
his home course.
Buddy asked for an early starting
time in the qualifying round of the
District yesterday, as he wanted to
get home and see his baby when she
wasn't behind glass door, He
hurried around the course, playing
his worst golf of the season, and
finished with a 10.
Misses Championship Flight.
He couldn't 60 home after all, his
score was on the borderline and it
appeared he would be in the playof.
Buddy called home every few
minutes and finally the five 10
shooters stepped up to playoff for
two places. Buddy rushed up to
the tee, swung fast and hit a drive
about $50 yards offline. He took
five on the hole and missed the
championship flight in the biggest
upset of the day as Kenwood's S
Maury Fitzgerald and Larry Imhoff
made the grade with par fours while
Martin Mccarthy and Don Miller
also had fives.
Bobby Brownell and Ralph Bogart,
who played together and never were
more than one stroke apart, pared
the last three holes and tied for the
medal with Lover par TBS. Brownell,
who won the championship 10 years
ago when he was II, and has not
played in this tourney since, had
37-35 and Bogart, one of the two
three-time District champs. had
a8-34.
Maury Nee, absent from tourna-
ment golf for several years, played
par golf on the back nine to post
a rs, the second best score which
was tied by Volney Burnett, the
Middle Atlantic champ and w. C.
McCabe of Washington G. and c. c.,
a former Detroit amateur golfer.
Col. Ben Schriever, Belle Haven's
dark horse candidate, had TO-
Brownell Meets Morris.
Brownell's f1rst-round opponent
was Bob Morris, former president of
the public links golfers group who
has been playing excellent golf
since joining Prince Georges several
weeks ago Morris recently won the
Wildwood IN. j. Invitation Tourna-
ment, but his victory was not
publicized.
Burnett's first round opponent was
Karl Corby of the host club, who
hit his second shot over the green
and out of bounds on the par 6
18th hole In the qualifying round
a flrst-tirne feat according to Co
lunbia members. That meant his
two shots travelled more than 600
yards.

There is no getting away from
the fact that the Gold Cup boats
are faster than the 225s, and only
bad breaks for the bigger racer
would give the prize cup to 225.

Boys Injured By Explosions Of Dynamite Caps

Several boys, between the ages of ten and fifteen years, were in jured the past week by exploding dynamite caps which they found in an open army ammunition dump.
 Lawrence Okpealuk will lose the sight in his left eye. Billy Lee, adopted son of MT. and Mrs. Nor man Lee, lost two fingers. Sam my Mogg, son of MT. and Mrs. Sam Mogg, lost his hand, and probably a part of the forearm. Joe Norbert and Jack Blatchford rec we'd superficial injuries. Other boys were present but un- hurt.
 The boys were blasting the caps by hitting with rocks and one of the boys stated that quite num- Der of them were exploded before the boys were hurt.
 Billy Lee was alone near the Lomen oil tanks when he was in- jured by the blast of the cap he was hitting with a stone. Roy Luke, who was getting wood al the time, heard the explosion, ran over and assisted Billy to the hos pital where his hand was dressed.
 The other boys who were in- jured, were playing in an old gravel pit between Dry Creek and the Center Creek road in the area known as Chicken Hill.
 On questioning by B. B. Mozee, U. s. Marshal, the boys revealed they had found the nearly-full case of dynamite caps in an old unused ammunition dump on which they had found the door

DreambOat Makes lO,925 Mile Flight
 In 39 Hrs, 36 Min.

CAIRO, Oct. '. (P)-The com municationS officer of the super o r resS Pacusan Dreamboat, which flew nonstop 10,925 miles over the Arctic Circle from Hono- lulu to Cairo, said today that com mercial air service over the top of the world was practicable from a communications standpoint.
 Shannon pointed out in an in- tervieW that the shortest distance between many population centerS was across the northern wastes.
 The Dreamboat landed at Payne Field in the desert near here at 95:7 am. Sunday (8:57 pm. Sat urday, Nome time)-39 hours, 36 minutes after the takeoff on an epochal flight to test equipment in polar weather. The speed aver age was 276 miles an hour.
 The Dreamboat had been strip ped even of de-icing equipment to carry a heavier fuel load and had exhausted all except 400 gallons of its 13,0OO gallon supply by the end of the trip.
 Shortly before the Dreamboat was sighted over Cairo, the com mander radioed grimly, "I de- clare emergency" He expressed fear the low fuel supply would un- balance the ship and landing would be dangerous. But the plane touched down safely and the crewmen, tired from lack of sleep, stepped out to a welcome from the Royal Aero Club of Egypt. They talked with neWsmen and then headed for Shepheard's hotel and a bath.

COrdOvaScheduled To Sail Today

SEATTLE, Oct. '. (P) - With the ban imposed by striking un- ions of the CIO-Committee for Maritime unity lifted, last-minute loading of the Nome-bound relief ship Cordova was rushed this morning for a planned departure today for the north.
 The GNU northwest chairman, Burt Nelson, said the unions de- cided to clear the ship late Satur- day lon the chance that what lit tie food and clothing there is aboard will help the people of Nome"
 Nome will soon be closed to shipping until next spring because the Boring Sea freezes in that area and the Cordova is the last ship to said north this fall.
 A four-man committee headed by Rep. Hugh Delacy O.-Wash0 inspected the cargo Saturday. The group "substantiated" GNU con- tentions, Nelson said, that most of the supplies were not in the relief category but comprised such items as beer, lead pipe, hard ware, furniture, etc"
 After the way the Cordova has been handled, the unions are like ly to be little tough about letting another one go," Nelson said.
