Fight for Supremacy
lin Gas Turbine Field
By WiIIiom H. Stonemon

LONDON, Sept. Gas tur-
bines-blood brothers to the jet
engines that have revolutionized
things in the air-may soon be
driving cargo ships of 10000 tons
across the seas.
That is the latest communique
from the battle of giants in which
the best scientific and engineering
brains of Britain, the United
States and Switzerland are fight
ing for supremacy in the de-
velopment of gas turbines for use
in industry and transport.
Until atomic propulsion be-
comes a fact the gas turbine will
be the big thing.
Britain Controls Patents.
Those two old enemies. the
British Socialist government and
British private industry, are work.
ing together on the gas turbine
project.
You can export technology for
good cold cash. Britain already
controls 2,000 patents connected
with gas turbines and those pat
ents are used In Is different
countries. .-
Most sensational of the devel-
opments on the British front In
this war of brains are:
Perfection of a gear box which
allows ships powered by gas tur-
bines to go into reverse. Until now
an attempt has been made to use
reversible-pitch propellers. The
difficulty there is that if the gad-
get goes wrong the shop has to
be towed into port.
Now the Pametrada experiment.
al station on the River Tyne has
perfected a gear case with n.y.
draulic couplings which solves the
problem. It is the sensation Of the
current marine engineering ex-
hibit at Olympus.

power general purpose gas turbine

electric power. running a locomo-
tive or propelling a ship. 1t is made
by Ruston & Hornsby, Ltd. of Lin
coin. England, and is claimed by
them to be the first commercial
unit produced by British indus

signed to have a working life OF
100000 hours or 20 years in 9

etrada.
It is calculated that the maxi
mum practical size of q gas tur-
bine will be about 5000 horse
power which is enough to drive q
ship Of 10000 tons. After that
stage steam turbines have an ad-
vantage.
If Pametrada's new unit lasts

they will not have the necessary

Economy a Factor.
Their great advantages are ex-
pected to be economy of original
cost, cheap maintenance, cheap
operation, lightness and compact
ness.
Work on gas turbines is being
done by a multitude of private
and public groups in Britain
Among them are the National Gas
Turbine Establishment. the Ma
tional Physical Laboratory, the
Royal Aircraft Establishment
Pametrada and the Power Jets
Research and Development, Ltd.
which runs a school of gas turbine
technology.
At least 10 different British
companies are working hard to
produce superior gas turbines
Half of them, including the great
John Brown Co., builder Of the
Queens, use the Swiss method
which is a development of steam
turbine technique. The other half
are working on the British
scheme which has developed from
the original inventions of Frank
Whittle.

fldent that it can beat the world

Air Force Tightens Rules
On Cadet Applicants

It's getting harder to get into
the Air Force.
The department announced to-

aviation cadet applicants must

the provision for an alternate ex-

alent of two years in college. In
addition, married applicants will

The Air Force said the eligi-

Redskins Sian
|P!oyerDespite
Threat ofSuit
By Lewis F. Atchison

Joel Williams, 23-year-old for
mer Texas University center, to-
day signed a 1-year contract with
the Redskins despite a threatened
law suit by Owner Harry Siebold
of the Richmond Rebels. Will
liams was under contract to the
Rebels in the American Football
League and had seven games to
play with that team.
Originally drafted by the Red
skins in 1947. Williams was sup
posed to return to college last
year, but instead signed with the
San Francisco 49'ers of the ALL
America Conference and played
with them last season. He was
released this year and joined the
Rebels.
President George Marshall of
the Skins said he anticipated no
legal trouble with the Rebels as
the result Of Williams action.
THE boy was promised his re-
lease if he could get a major
league contract" he said, but
when we offered to sign him they
wouldn't see him."
Williams said he was under
contract to the Rebels but Mar
shall pointed out that the Red
skins had offered the Richmond
club almost as much money for
him as it would have to pay him
for the last seven games.
Reported Out of Shape.
Williams said he was dismissed
by the 49'ers for reporting badly
out of shape. He returned to COL
lege, where he still is working for
a degree in business administra-
ton, after last season and didn't
stay in shape. He weighed $50
pounds when he reported to San

Tatum's biggest job this week

Generals Polish
Air Attack for
Contest Here
CoIonioIs Are Ready
To Mix Passes With
Deceptive Reverses
By George Huber

A wide open football game with
plenty of passes plus a sprinkling
of trick stuff is in prospect to-
morrow night when George WASH
ington University plays its first
home game of the season against
Washington and Lee at Griffith
Stadium starting at $3.50. Given
reasonably fast field and firm
footing, it could be a high scoring
affair.
The split T employed by Coach
George Barclay of w. & L. is
somewhat open attack with
many laterals and much wide
running. but because Of injuries
to several halfbacks the Generals
may have to rely more than ever
on passes. Quarterback Gil Boz
cetti, sophomore from McKees-
port, Pa, will resort to razzle-
dazzle tactics in an effort to keep
the ground attack moving, how
ever.
Halfback Ray Lester, from
Arlington, is a big cog in this
ground attack, but he and Bocetti
also can take to the air. Their
favorite targets have been Ends
Talbot Trammell and Dave Hedge,
both sophomores, and Jim Fahey,
a senior from Cumberland, Md.
G. w. Ready With Tricks.
All in all, the Generals attack
is geared with an eye to CUT
maneuver the G. w. line rather
than overpower it.
George Washington probably
will come up with something
other than straight football.
Andy Davis. the Colonials' big
wheel, is announced as ready to
play, but he has weak knees that
will hamper his running. Con-
sequently he probably will rely
greatly on passing such as he
did in the Virginia game when
the Colonials got their yardage
through the air.
But the four running touch
downs made last week by Fullback
AL Du Golf also shows that the
Colonials have potent ground
game even without Davis. Also
playing we'll in that game was
Wingback Jimmy Kline. Charley
Jones, the teams fastest man,
also operates from wingback, the
position from which reverses are
run. So the Generals, and the
customers, may expect squirting
single-wing reverses.

The Washington and Lee squad,
IS strong, leaves by bus from
Lexington tomorrow morning and
will be here early in the after

Today's final round of the Dis
trict Open golf championship
means quite bit to Charley
Bassler.
The 2s-year-old Rolling Road
pro, leading by four strokes after
q sparkling SO yesterday in the
first round at Indian Spring,
wants the cash and the title for
comfort on the winter tour.
Bassler plans to leave Balti-
more in late December and make
the entire circuit, sharing ex-
penses with Otto Greiner. who
practically is a veteran of the
tour. ~.....
Top money of 5000 in the Dis
trict Open would pay Charley's
expenses for a couple of weeks on
the tour, and the title might give
him a little more confidence. It's
a lonesome feeling when the an
nouncer on the loud public ad-
dress system just drones out,
Charles Bassler of Catonsville,
Md" But if Charley could win to-
day his introduction would go:
"Charles Bassler, the Baltimore
Match Play Open and District Of
Columbia Open champion from
Catonsville, Md" and that would
prompt folk in the gallery to have
a look. Charley won the Balti-
more Open last week
Bassler Round Amazing.
A number of the players were
amazed at Bassler's round. The
handsome ex-Marine is a strong,
powerful hitter and Indian Spring
was no place for power. Most of
the contestants were complaining
that their approach shots were
bouncing over the greens, but not
Bassler's. And when he reached
the green he knew what to do with
the ball-knock it into the cup.
He raped in seven birdie puts
and went over par only on the
22O-yard par eleventh. Bass1er
had 26 puts.
Only two players were within
six strokes of Bassler going into
today's second and final 18 holes.
