Navy Wins Grew Race
 Saturday

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 23. -tFt-They revived the Poughkeepsie Regatta Saturday and Navy's rugged oarsmen outdistanced the record field but this postwar renewal of the rowing classic will go down in his- tory as the race that few persons witnessed from beginning to end.
 Although the siv-wc--r eN~ence of the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa- tion's No. l attraction cost it none of it's glamor for the boys who pull the oars, the 45th edition of the re- gatta failed to recaptue the spec tator interest it commanded before the war.
 Whether the regatta will recover it's spectator interest in future years, or whether Saturdays condition is indicative of things to come in the sports world generally, only time will tell
 There was no lack of interest among the college oarsmen. A record field of II crews competed in the varsity race, with the same number of shells in the junior varsity event and seven in the freshman race.
 The fans who turned up saw Coach Buck Walsh's big Navy crew come from behind in the three-mile varsity grind to win by less than half length over Cornell and re- turn the East to supremacy in an event dominated through the last four prewar years by the West.
 Washington, the defending cham pion, finished in third place, good length behind Cornell and Cali fornia was fourth, another three fourths of a length back
 Although the water was calm and there was little breeze, Navy's time of 13 1892 was considerably slower than the three-mile record of 13 .336 set by the Annapolis crew in 1882.
 The Pacific Coast gained a smat- tering of consolation in the prelimi- nary events. Washington crack yearling crew won the freshman race at two miles and California took the three-mile junior varsity event, with Navy second, Cornell third, and Washington fourth.
 Nine of the Il crews which par ticipated here already are enroute to Seattle for Saturdays 2,000-meter sprint championships on Lake Washington, but Navy won't be there to upheld Eastern prestige.

Sam Snead. Dimzetz and Gene Sarazen--even though Art has a pretty good record in this tourney off the records. Vic Ghezzi, who has won the PGA and tied for the top in 1946 open only to lose in double playoff, should be cinch. of this journeys record of what has happened to cham pions, Vic hasn't chance If we had to pick one now, we'd pick the reformed Australian, Jim Fer rier because he has beaten four sound golfers already while the others all have had some soft spots.

PARTY WHICH DRIFTED
 TO SOUTH SEAS RETURNS
 TO SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO - Five months after he sailed from Callao, Peru, on homemade raft, Thor Heyer- dahl, 32, Norwegian ethnologist and his Kon-Tiki expedition reach ed the United Statts Monday con yinced he had proved his theory lof early migration from the Amer icas to Oceania.
 Heyerdahl and his five compan- ions-four Norwegians and a Swede- and their Is by 45 foot raft of balsa wood and bamboo were brought from Tahiti to San Francisco by the Norwegian motor ship Thor No. 1.
 Behind them lay 101 days of life on their little raft, driven ever " estward by wind and ocean cur renta They figured their total drift at 4,300 miles. Thair journey ended when they were driven onto a long reef near Raroia Island ,n the Melanesian group. An Raroia they were taken in by natives and two weeks later were picked up by a Fench gov ernment schooner which took them to Tahiti.
 Heyerdahl conceived the theory that the Polynesians were a mix ture of American and Peruvian h. dians, when he spent his honey moon in Tahiti 10 ytars ago. But how did they reach the South Cen tai Pacific? Years of study con- vinced Heyerdahl they voyaged there on rafts, driven by wind and ocean currents
 To Prove Theory
 He wrote a lenghty thesis set ting forth his ideas. Authorities scoffed at it. Such rafts couldn't make the journey, they said.
 Heyerdahl set about proving his theory. He aroused the interest of Herman Watzinger, 31, civil en- gineer; Knut Haughland, 30, Nor wegian Army officer and radio ex- pert; Torstein Raaby, 27, a stud ent; and Erik Hesselberg, 33, art ist and navigator, all Norwegians; i; and Bengt Danielsson, 26, Swed- ish sociologist who holds fellow ship at the. University of Wash. 1 ington.
 They built the raft, flashing the logs together with rope. No nails were used. Atop the raft they built small shelter of bamboo, roofed with banana leaves.
 Last April 2S, they cast off from Callao.
 Throughout their voyage the ex- petition was in radio contact with Harold Kempel, an amateur oper- ator in Los Angeles.
