Such Crust, Presidents Cup
Victor, to Seek New Record

pleted its calculations with speed
tables, past regatta records and slide
rules, these records were chalked up:
Such Crust's time for the final heat
was 1885, a record; Such Crust's
fastest lap speed of 816 miles was a
record; Such Crust's heat speed OF
1885 miles set a record, and Such
Crusts average for the three heats,
totaling As miles, was 1884 miles, a
race record.

Arena would have broken them,

exactly one half the field to survive
the grind that began Saturday.
Engine trouble, gear box woes and
shaft difficulties took their toll OF
the others.
For 47-year-old Keane, it was a
day of major triumph, too. He was
outpowered in the Gold Cup fleet,
since his Tomadge has only a third

But he stuck it out.

Such Crust, the fantastically fast
Gold Cup racer that won the Presi-
dents Cup yesterday before 100000
spectators, won't be put into moth
balls right away
Owner Jack Schafer of Detroit
disclosed last night that Danny
Arena of Kent, Ohio, who drove her
to a spectacular victory on the
choppy Potomac, will take her out
on Gull Lake, Mich, in about two
weeks in an attempt to break the
American speed mark of 124 miles
an hour, held for years by Gar
Wood,
IF no more cranes fall on Such
Crust between now and then I be-
lieve Danny can do it," declared
Schafer, still flushed from the we'd
ding present (the Presidents Cup
handed him and his bride by the
32-year -old Arena
He told of his plans in his Will
lard Hotel suite after receiving the
trophy at ceremonies in the crowd
ed hotel lobby.
Such Crust was clocked at an
unofficial 119 miles on the same
lake August 10, and Schafer be-
lieves Arena can get another
miles out of the red-and-w white AL
lison-powered craft next month.
That is all needed to send the
Wood mark tumbling,
Arena Master at Throttle.
Certainly Schafer couldn't have a
better Gold Cup driver in the coun-
try at the wheel. BY winning the
three-heat classic yesterday at
speeds that had old records falling
like October leaves, Danny joins
the select company of George Refs,
Cell Perry and Danny Foster, all
two-time winners of the solid gold
mug now valued at $25 900.
Arena, Schafer and thousands of
Just plain speed fans hadshigh praise
yesterday for Harry Lynn, 36-year-
old st. Louis, Mo, millionaire, who
came awfully close to snatching the
trophy from Such Crust.
Lynn, a seaman in the Navy in
World War II who never drove a
Gold Cup craft before this summer,
won the second heat of the week
end at pace that started the speed
record Donnebrook. This tied Such
Crust and Lynns beautiful Lahala
on points.
LahaIa Pushed to Limit.
The Missourian took the lead in
the final heat, too, and stayed there
for five laps at terrifying speeds
that broke lap records set only 80
minutes earlier. 1t looked as though
Lahala was being pushed beyond
endurance of men and hull. But
Lynn and Mechanic Norman
Lauterbach had to do it, because
Just behind was Arena, with his
younger brother Gene riding as
mechanic.
All this time. Lahala's engine was
backfiring. On the upper turn OF
the last lap, Lahala slowed down
and gave Arena the chance he was
waiting for. He shot past Lynn
free at last of Lahalas wake-and
roared on to win. Danny said after
ward that he, was driving at times
as high as 116 miles an hour.

thoughts on last Saturdays games:
G. W., Is; v. p. l., 0.
This was G.. W.'s first postwar
upset win. The Colonials have won
before when they were favorites-
also they've lost before when they
were favorites-but this was their
first victory as underdogs.
Handy Andy Davis, all 168 pounds
OF. him, was the big star. He was
the only Commute player on the
field and played a bangup game
both extensively and defensively.
His six pass completions in 10 tries
accounted for all Of G. WIS lot
yards passing and on the ground he
earned 81 yards in rs times carry
ing the ball.
One of the amazing things about
this game was that G. WIS total of
202 yards gained rushing all was
in small pieces. Not once did the
Colonials shake runner loose for
a big gain. A 14-yarder by Davis
and two of IL yards by Jim Kline
were the only gains over 10 yards.
Reason was that G. WIS blocking
away from the line ranged from poor
to nonexistent. The Colonials don't
have the manpower to scrimmage
heavily in practice and pick up the
finer points of downfield blocking.
But with Coach Bo Rowland S
tricky attack and shifting defenses,
the Colonials look good for some
more upset wins this season.

the normal thing for Richmond

outside all night.
The Maryland mentor was far
from pleased with the overall per-
formance of his team, however
His poor passing attack gave him
cause for concern and the Terps
will spend a lot of time ironing out
the kinks this week. Poor lights
and a brown ball didn't help mat

boys on that score.
