he is still in favor Of putting Bell
in the Powell building, rather than
shifting the vocational program into
Central High School.
c. Melvin Sharpe, board member,
commented that school officers
should stop "dawdling" and make
up their minds, referring to the
change in plans as bad policy.
Congress already has appropri-
ated $4,000 to shift Bell to Central
and another $150,00o for equipment.
Since this money is earmarked for
that purpose, a change in plans
would require Congress to change
its appropriation.
The Mount Pleasant Citizens As
Sociation, as well as many parents
and alumni of the Powell Junior
High School, have been fighting
against changing the school to vo-
cational unit. Both Mr.. Sharpe
and Mr.. Lee indicated they didn't
think much of the idea either at
yesterdays meeting.
In justifying the change in plans.
DR.. Corning pointed out that recent
demands for an increase in voca-
tional training had been taken into
consideration. He said that, If Bell
were shifted to Central, as planned,
the present enrolment at Bell could
be accommodated, but there would
be no room for expansion.
Vocational enrolment has been
going up, and there Is need for a
great expansion of the Bell night
school to comply with the needs OF
the building trades, he said.
On the other hand, enrolment at
Powell has gone down steadily from
/ ,141 in 1943 to 563 in 1947, he added.
The Powell students could be dis
persed among other junior high
schools in the Northwest area.
In other actions, the board COM
mittee approved request from the
Police Department for use OF the
lot at the old jefferson School,
Sixth street and Virginia avenue
S.W., for a place to keep impounded
vehicles. The building now is used
as a warehouse by the school system
The committee voted to protest
to the District Commissioners the
rezoning of strip of land at Sixth
street and Florida avenue NV, ad-
jacent to the site of the proposed
new Armstrong High School, for
commercial purposes. The rezonlne
was made recently SO that the New
Center Market can be enlarged.

CHICAGO. June 26.-Two of
feminine golf's greatest performers
Babe Didrikson Zaharias and
Patty Berg-met today for the first
time in match play with the 18th
women's Western Open golf title at
stake.
The tall and slender Babe and
the short and sturdy Patty have
matched strokes in many a medal
play tourney, but this is the first
time they have collided in match
play.
In their 36-hole title battle over
Skycrest Country Club course, Mrs.
Zaharias will be striving for her
fourth Western Open crown and
Miss Berg will be cunning for her
third.
Of their semifinal performances
yesterday, Mrs. Zaharias, registered
from Grossinger of Ferndale, N. Y,
rated a stout favorite over Miss
Berg, red-thatched shooter from
Minneapolis.
The Babe solved Skycrest for a
4-under-women's par as she knocked
aside Helen Dettweiler Of Indio,
Calf, 6 and 4.
Patty, gingerly favoring an ailing
left hand, had to 60 81 holes for a
l up overtime triumph over Amateur

Harvard, Beaten Yale
Eye 0Iympics After
Record Crew Race
By the A,socioted Press

NEW LONDON, Conn. June 26.-
clean sweep of the Har-
vard- Yale regatta bolstered its hopes
of being Americas Olympic repre-
entative, but the record time In
which both crews rowed the varsity
race left Yale a strong contender
in the forthcoming tryouts.
Cleanly beaten in the first two
events yesterday, Yale pulled
strong oar to come within a third OF
a length of matching Harvard as
both crews finished far under the
previous best recorded time for the
4-mile varsity on the Thames down.
stream course.
Harvard's time was 1921 and
Yale's 1928
The previous downstream record
was 19:518. So close was the finish
that many thought the race had
ended in a tie.
Earlier Harvard had easily upset
Yale's Junior varsity and freshman
eights at 2-mile distances. But the
varsity race was a battle from the
start.
Yale took an early lead and was
three-quarters of a length ahead
at the half mile. At the 2-mlle
post, Harvard was a clear length
in the lead while at the 3-mlle
point Harvard while still ahead,
held no such margin. From then
on it was a fight in the best Frank
Merriwell tradition.
It was Harvard's 10th successive
victory in 81 years of this, the Ma
tons olders intercollegiate athletic
rivalry. In the SO races which have
been rowed during that time, Har-
ward has won A times and Yale 80.
Tom Bolles, Harvard coach, whose
men set an average stroke OF close
to 80 and never exceeded 38 de-
scribed it as a pretty race" Allen
Walz, Yale's mentor, told the press
boat a couple of minutes after the
finish. I'VE just bumped up against
better crew"
