Petrol Makes Long
Air Trip

PERTH, Australia -P)- Robert
Beattis, a railway worker, went
fishing here and hooked a bird-a
giant petrol. A band on it's leg
showed it had been released by
British scientists at Signy Island in
the South Orkneys.
Local scientists calculated that
if it flek over the South Pole it
few 5000 miles. And if it took a
route via Kerguelen Island it few
twice that distance. The petrol
ended its travels in the South Perth
Zoo.

ahead today as Navy weighed
anchor for its annual football
rendezvous with Army.
The keynote of the academy at
titude toward the Saturday engage
ment was sounded by Capt. Tom
Hamilton and Coach George Sauer
The captain is more than slightly
acquainted with the ancient service
classic.
Back in 1926 1t was Midshipman
Hamilton who dropkicked the Sailors
into a tie with the Black knights
from West Point. And 20 years later
Capt. Hamilton coached an inspired
Navy eleven to within three points
of the weirdest upset of the year.
That was the 21-lS engagement
which ended with underdog Navy on
the Army 2-yard line. one short
plunge from touchdown and vic
tory over a West Point outfit rated
too good to be on the same field
with the Annapolis crew.
Maybe that's what Hamilton, now
director of athletics at the Academy
has in mind when he says:
In this rivalry, perhaps the dope
bucket has been kicked over more
than in any other series
AS for Sauer. it's been no bed Of
roses watching his team trampled in
eight straight games this year. his
first at the helm. But here's how he
regards Saturdays fray:
I'VE know Army has a great team.
They're fast, strong and opportun-
lists. But we're going to extend them

check of the material at hand.
Jimmy Youel, collar-ad quarter
back who was traded away to Bos-
ton last summer and brought back

draw the opening assignment Sun

bench and have look at the Chi

he'll be more valuable there and
I know Youel can run the team
well enough. Mont also will play
