race"
BY winning the Gold Cup last
Saturday. Slo-Mo-Shun is be-
lieved assured of a berth in the
Harmsworth Trophy competition
September 1-2.
Were passing up Saturdays
regatta for several reasons" Sayres
said, "but the main one is that the
boys have to get back to their jobs
on the coast if they are to get
away again for the Harmsworth

"The boys" are Ted Jones, Mile
Welsch, Elmer Linenschmidt and
Anchor Jensen. Jones, the boats

chanic who rode with him the

Lake Washington, Seattle, by
Slo-Mo-Shun. The boat covered
a measured mile at 160.323 miles
an hour. Recognition was cabled

Friends said Louis wanted to
take the baths to get his weight
down. He now weighs between 220
and 225 pounds and would have
to take off 10 to Is pounds to get
into fighting trim.
After stay of several weeks at
West Baden, Louis planned on

Using this formula on this par
ticular bass we find that its girth
must have been more than 10
inches. In other words it would
have had to be bigger around than
1t was long. OF course the fish
could be deformed. but this is
highly improbable. So If some of
your friends slightly exaggerate
the poundage of a fish, and you
can get its measurement, as a
rule you can convince they are
either optimistic on the weight, or
should have their scales checked

Gilmer tossed two touchdown
passes and caught the defense
flat-footed both times. His first
was 23-yard throw to Bones
Taylor and the second, to Buddy
Shoaf, netted 40 yards. Both were
caught in the end zone with nary
a defensive back in sight. But,
as Ball pointed out, somebody
missed an assignment each time.
Casimir Witucki. Jerry Hough,- =
ton. Gene Pepper, Roland Dale
and Danny Brown were stand
outs in the line. The latter two
are ends and were in the opposing
backf1eld half the time, except
when Dale was coming all the way
around to make a tackle on the
opposite side of the line. Pepper
played rough and ditto for Wi
tucki. Old hands, such as Bob
Hendren, Laurie Niemi and Sza-
taryn, took good care of them
selves-and the opposition.
Chauncey Misses Blocks.
Bill -Chauncey missed a couple
of blocks that messed up pass
plays-plays that made Nick Sc
bek look bad-but when he car
ried out his assignment it was
different story. AL Dugoff was
green on pass defense. as ex-
pected, but Oscar Ed Smith
showed a lot of drive on line
bucks. Frank Spaniel didn't get
away as he did on the initial
scrimmage, but showed that he
can take a pounding without
slowing up.
The squad seemed leg-weary
for the first time yesterday, which
didn't help its work. Ball in
tends to move carefully to avoid
unnecessary injuries, and he isn't
ready to begin shifting players
around to fill vacancies, but he
does intend to work his men to
the hilt to get 'em ready for their
debut.
