Horace Dodge's venerable Colt
Cup racer Sister Syn, which com
peted here % years ago, is expected
TO stage comeback on the Potomac
Saturday and Sunday for the 18th
annual Presidents Cup Regatta, il
was learned today.

er, bound for Washington. Sister
Syn's new look includes an Allison
airplane engine, a power plant that
is all the rage this season.
Meanwhile. the Associated Press
reported from Detroit that Jack
Schafer, owner of the new Gold
Cup beat Such Crust, left that city
yesterday for Washington to see his
boat race here.
Regatta officials, however, were
without any word either on Schafer
or his boat. Such Crust was dam
aged in the Gold Cup race last
month, but apparently is back in
the running again.
Dodge boats have figured promi-
nently in Presidents Cup races in
the early days of the classic.
In 1925, the first year of the event,
Dodge brought three boats here, but
failed to lift the trophy sponsored
by President Coolidge. One was
Sister Syn. The winner was Miss
Cigarette w, driven by L. Gordon
Hammerslee.
Dodge came through the next
year, winning with Miss Syndicate
The next time a Dodge boat won
was in 1892 when Bill Horn got
Delphine w across.
First word that Dodge was inter
ested in racing again came with his
entry of Sister Syn in the Gold Cur
at Detroit last month. Perhaps
fortunately, the boat was not ready
in time and it also failed to make
the Silver Cup event.
This will be Sister Syn's first race
with an Allison aboard. A grea,
deal Of water has gone over the
dam since the 1920s and whether
the Dodge boat can keep pace with
the newer three-point suspension
jobs remains to be seen.
Assuming both Sister Syn and
Such Crust arrive in time, this
brings the entry field for the Presi-
dents Cup event to IL, which looks
like a record.

seven yards a try, which consider

Abrams may prove to be the needed
backfeld sparkplug.
Broadly Looks Good.

from Armstrong, also has showed

Bisons must, however, call upon
either Robertson or Parker for
punting.
There is little to distinguish
among three quarterbacks, Ross,
Ernie Davis and Larry Carter
However, Ross passing gives him
the nod. The fullback spot is ex-
pected to provide plenty of punch
and power, with Sandy Green, 217-
pound Junior, given top billing, with
Bill Hall and Joe Graves in reserve
Competition in the CIAA, which
produced the strongest elevens in
sepia circles last season, is expected
to be savage. But, all in all, the
Bisons appear much stronger than
last season. If backfield problems
can be solved and not too many
disabling injuries occur, Howard
well could bruise its way into the
conference championship. 1t has
expert coaching, sound scouting and
a nucleus of seasoned players.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Sept. 23.-Navy
put in its last full-scale scrimmage
yesterday before launching the 194s
football campaign against California
Saturday.
Middies three deep in each posi-

with his top eleven, but soon sub
stituted freely with reserve units.
The Californians will have fewer
men than Navy on the bench in

record will probably use more on the

Head Coach Eddie Jackson will
remove the wraps from Howard
University's football machine Sat-
urday when the Bisons open their
season against the Bluefield State
Teachers at Bluefleld, w. Va.
The success or failure of this
years campaign will not hinge upon
the outcome, but the clash is eX-
pected to give a good line on the
strength of the Howard squad,
which has been touted as potential
CIAA champion, a title it has not
held in more than 20 years.
Last season the Bisons won six,
lost two and tied one for their best
year since 1928 and are reputed to
have lost the conference diadem by
the slim margin of one touchdown.
This years team appears much
stronger in most aspects.
At present the Howard forward
wall is her forte. Built around ALI
America Guard Otto Jordan and
All-CIAA Center jug Marshall, the
Bisons will field starting line that
averages we'll over 200 pounds. The

two New York City exporters.
William P. Rogers, committee
counsel, said the cases of Robert M
Mistrcugh and Murray M. Nelson

ment by Chairman Ferguson of the

Committee Investigators said Mr..
Mistrough last year exported more
than 1000, 600 pounds of scarce cast
iron pipe labeled as concrete pipe,
which requires no export license
Mr.. Mistrough denied the amount
was that large, and said the pipe

Dewey Tour May Rival
Wilkes WhirIwind
Campaign Drive
BY steff Correspondent Of The stor

ALBANY, Sept. 16.-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey's campaign for
the presidency may approach the
whirlwind drive of the late
Wendell Willkie in 1910, al
though the Republican nominee
this year appears to be out in
front at the start.
This became apparent today a;
more details of his first Western trir
trickled out. Herbert Brownell, Re-
publican campaign director, an.
nounced last night that Gov. Dewey
will swing across Montana, Idaho
Utah and Wyoming as he heads
back late this month from pre-.

Today it became known that, ir
addition to the formal speeches hs
will make nightly in each of thost
States, Gov. Dewey's train will stGr
often every day for rear platform
transforming in the hinterland o1
those big Western States.
Two Reasons for Policy.
There are two reasons for this
decision to play the small towns az
well as the populous cities:
/. The Dewey forces are going all
out to boost Republican candidates
for the House and Senate.
2. The COP high command wants
to keep the rank and file of party
workers from relaxing their efforts
because of the signs of Republican
victory this year. ?
But, while the Dewey swing
through the West, starting Monday,
may resemble that of Wendell Will
kie in intensity, it will differ from
1910 in some other respects.
Mr.. Willkie had a dynamic per-
sonality and great physical vigor,
which stirred his supporters, but in
the fine points Of political barn
storming he was comparative
novice. Gov. Dewey is an expert
enced campaigner at 46, and is
planning every move of his trip
with the care and precision of a
practiced technician. Advance plan
ming and exactness are carried to
the nth degree in the Dewey camp.
Itinerary Details Reviewed.
This was exemplif1ed yesterday
when the Governor gathered all of
his top-ranking advisers around him
for a final detailed review of the
itinerary, the speeches to be made
and the present condition of affairs,
both foreign and domestic.
