Yachting Association
Adopts New Rules
For Bay Racing
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Sailing events staged on Chesa-
peake Bay and tributaries in 1948
will be raced under the new op-
tional rules of the North American
Yacht Racing Union, more than a
score Of delegates of the Chesa-
peake Bay Yacht Racing Associa-
tion directed in their annual meet
ing yesterday at Hotel 2400.
The bay area thus becomes one
of the last major yachting centers
in the country to try out the rules
which embody some of the sharpest
departures from current racing
rules.
In a four-hour session, the asso-
citation took these other important
actions:
Re elected William W. Heintz
of Washington and West River as
president, along with E. Murray
Sullivan of Baltimore, as vice presi-
dent; T. Marshall Duer, jr, Balti-
more, as secretary-treasurer, and
James Faye of Ottoman, Va, and
Bob Henry of Oxford, Md, as dele
gates at large of the advisory COM
mittee.
2-Approved an event-packed rae
ing schedule for 1948, including
sanction of the sailing events of
the Presidents Cup Regatta, slated
for next September 18 and 10.
3-Awarded high point trophies
for the 1947 season to the leading
three shippers in nine classes. Only
Washington area skipper to take
top honors was Joseph Kraft of
Alexandria Old Dominion Boat
Club, skipper of the penguin dinghy
Pluto.
Affected three new yachting
groups to CBYRA membership-St.
Marys River MD Yacht Club, Will
loughby Yacht Club, Norfolk. and
Pasadena Sailing Association, Rivera
Beach, Md.
These additional shippers were
awarded high point trophies: Fred
eric Swink, Norfolk, cruising class;
&c. E. Elderkin, Gibson Island, rae
ing class; William Tyler, Baltimore,
delta class; Ted S. Clark, Gibson
Island, star class; Billy Hartge,
Galesville, Md, Chesapeake 20s;

The five players who will start

the same five that finished up last

they're a big, happy family. Three
weeks before Ripley reported for
practice, the entire squad staged
daily drills in the G. U. gym. They
have had almost three months Of
practice and numerous rugged
scrimmages. This year, the Hoyas
have good reserves. A lack of height
is their major drawback.
Ripley wisely isn't making any
predictions this year. The three
teams the Hoyas meet this week are
indicative OF the competition G.. U.

college in this community ever has
attempted a basket ball schedule

Baugh's Finger Injury May Spell Defeat for Skins
Giants Coach Keen|y
Confident With His
Club up for Game
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Sfoff Correspondsnt

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Sammy
Baugh's injured finger may be the
difference in tomorrow's return
match between the Redskins and
Giants. Stout Steve Owens crew,
with Paul Governah apparently in
the swing of things, was prepared
to give the Tribe real battle before
Sammy came up with the wounded
digit, but if Baugh isn't right the
Giants may wind up with a COM
Portable margin over their old
rivals.
Baugh didn't work out today at
the Westchester Country Club,
where the Skins are quartered. He
said the ailing finger, third on his
right hand, was all right for throw
Ing out panied him taking the ball
from center. He thought he would
be ready to take his place in the
backfield tomorrow but both Jim
Youel and Tom Mont had long pass
ing workouts today just in case the
Singer isn't up to par.
On their side the Giants will be
minus the services of Jim White,
one-time Notre Dame tackle and
the chap who literally picked the
ball off Baugh's toe on an attempted
punt and ran IS yards for touch
down in the first game at Washing
ton. White, overworked this season,
suffered a slight conclusion couple
of weeks ago and the injury was
aggravated last Sunday when the
Giants upset the Cardinals. He Will
play no more football this season.
Owen fairly reeks with confidence.
He thought the Giants deserved to
win over both Pittsburgh and Green
Bay and that they are "up" Tor
tomorrows fray. In Governah the
New Workers at long last have
thrower who adequately fills the
shoes vacated by Frank Filchock.
The Giants running attack Is not
all that could be desired but Owen
thinks he has enough power to get
by on.
The Redskin line, weak and un-
certain all season, is not at Its best
for the game. Johnny Steber, the
clubs best guard, has a rib INJURY,
and tackle Henry Harris is limplng
on a turned ankle. John Adams knee
is still swathed in tape and If he
doesn't stand up the of1ense may
be very shaky.
Chief interest will be focused On
Philadelphia where the Chicago
Cardinals will try to revive their
waning flag hopes by beating the
Eagles, who are in dog-flght with
Pittsburgh for Eastern laurels. An
Eagle victory, plus Bear triumph
over Los Angeles at Chicago, would
give the Bears the Western title.
Pittsburgh closes its season on the
home lot against the charging Bos-
ton Yankees, who might spoil ART

Picking an All-High football team
presents almost as many problems
as there are players. This holds
true not only in high schools, but
in college and professional circles
as well, as demonstrated by the
various All-American teams ap-
pearing in magazines and news
papers.
The Stars first and second ALL
High teams included players from
every school, with championship
Techs eleven naturally dominating
the selections with nine men. But,
as there are only % positions on
these teams, some outstanding play
ers were listed in the honorable
mention group. This is in itself
distinction for the players were
chosen only after careful considera-
ton of their individual contributions
to their teams over the season.
Among those rating honorable
mention was George Holmes.
Holmes, hard running left halfback
from Western, earned a place on
The Stars second All-High team
last year, but an injury kept him
from seeing enough action to war
rant that berth this year.
Holmes unquestionably is the
best man on the squad" says Coach
Fred Mulvey. HE was injured in
the second interhigh game Of the
season against Eastern. Before that
he practically beat Wilson single
handed and even managed to score
against Eastern before getting hurt" ;"
Holmes is an elusive break-away
runner and a triple threat.
Roosevelt, which listed one man
on the first team, Right Tackle
Emory Ellis, and five in the honor
able mention list, experienced an
other bad season, In which 1t was
blanked seven times while winning
only one game out of nine and fans
are wondering why.
"One thing people oonC reaLle,
Fox explains, is that Roosevelt has
the smallest male enrolment among
Washington's public highs. We
have only $50 boys, which Is about
half the number some of the other
schools have. We just don't have
the material and equipment to plan
long successful seasons"
Here's how it works out he
goes on. I'VE point for two games
each year. Last season we pointed
for Central and Western. We held
Central to a TO victory, the best
any school outside of Tech was able
to do, and we upset Western, rs.
Next year We'll be pointing for
Anacostia and Central. They're the
teams to watch"

II would be nice if we could
do the same thing TO the new
styles the clothing industry is
trying to put over for the most
blatant reason possible to
make obsolete every single item
in woman's wardrobe from her
slips to her winter coat.
IT'S as though the designers sat
down with pencil and pad and
tried to figure out the opposite for
every single fashion feature in
vogue for the last few years.
Shoulders have been broad; make
'em narrow. Skirts have been
short; make 'em long. Waists have
been high; drop 'em. Shoes have
been flat and open-toed; make 'em
high-heeled and closed. Goats
have been fitted; make 'em sacks.
Just how much the designers
are going to get away with de-
ponds on the good sense of the
American woman. Probably the
fight to keep dresses as short as
they've been is already lost. Any
woman would feel conspicuous
with a dress above her knees in a
room full of women with longer
dresses. A slightly longer henaline
is generally more attractive any
how-the dresses don't hike up
when you sit down and unattrac-
tive legs get bit of camouflage.
But the designers are not try
ing to make any slight changes;
they're attempting blitz. Some
months ago, the trade papers were
full of suggestions on how to ac-
complish the putsch-most of them

known as polycythemia in which
the body makes too many red
blood cells. Some promising re-
suits have been obtained but many
more studies are necessary.
Since iron is one of the impor-
tant elements of the blood, radio
active iron has been used to study
just how the body uses iron in
making blood.
Radioactive iodine has been used
in the treatment of thyroid dis

number of substances have been
discovered that cure thyroid dis

may eventually prove to be among
the most valuable of these sub
stances.
These uses and studies are
only the beginning. Scientists
predict that atomic energy could

living conditions much more
healthful. If only a fraction, of
the cost and effort and scientific
skill were devoted toward such
purposes as are now being spent
on atomic bombs. the results
would probably be more won

heard Rep. Wright Patman Cd, Tex
charge the current hearings on coop

their competitors are tax exempt.
Patman, minority member of the

probing the co-ops, drew applause
when he reminded Rep. Walter Ploeser

which threatened the small business
man, toned down his bias in the face
of a courtroom full of farmers
Hostility cracked the air even as

not come to any conclusions" and that
co-ops are merely an object of study.
AS the hearings progressed, he and

Ploeser asserted the occasion for the
hearings was "a flood of complaints
