1894 Best Ever
For Two Miles
On FLAP Track
Deody Sprints Fastest
Half Mile Since 1914
To Capture Trophy.
Special Dispoteh 10 The Stor

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-George-
town University's crack q mile
relay team set a world indoor rec
ord for an 11-lap track tonight
in the New York Athletic Club
games, winning its event in 1894.
The Hoyas won by so yards over
Syracuse. with Navy third and
Princeton fourth.
Georgetown's time was the best
registered at two miles since Seton
Hall established the recognized
world record of 1889 in the Naval
Relief meet at Bronx Coliseum
in 1912. That mark was set on
Slap midget auto track never
used since for track events.
Deadly Wins BY 40 Yards.
Georgetown's Joe Deadly brought
additional fame to the Washing
ton school when he ran the fastest
indoor half mile since 1914. Com
peting in his first invitational
race. Deadly won the $50 in 1885,
some 40 yards ahead of Fred
Dwyer of Villanova. Stewart Ray
of the New York AC was third
and Roscoe Browne of the Pioneer
Club fourth.
Deadly won permanent possess
sion of the trophy, awarded him
for making the fastest time in the
Mat Halpin half-mile in the last
three years.
Set Garden Record.
The Hoyas' 2-mile team broke
its own meet record of 7:42 set
last year and set new Madison
Square Garden record before
5000 fans. The previous Garden
record was held by Seton Halls
1912 quartet at 1898. That same
Seton Hall team which established
the freak" world record on the
midget auto track.
In producing their finest per-
formance of the year, the George
town relay team got a sparkling
1885 finish from Carl Joyce.
Deadly, regular anchor man, did
MT run the relay due to competing
in the half-mile. Dave Boland
started the quartet off with a
1865 half. Tom Voorhees,, who
replaced Deadly on the team,
Clipped in with a 1:55 effort and
Joe LaPierre followed with 1:54.3.
They turned over a commanding
lead to Joyce. who spun around in
1885.
Georgetown's mile relay team
finished third behind Seton Hall
and Villanova. Seton Hall won
in 1904.

ACTH From Whales
Against Arthritis


One of Norway's leading phar-
maceutical manufacturing COM
panies. .Nyebaard Co., Oslo, has
perfected a method of making
arthritis relieving ACTH from
whale hypophysin, a substance de-
rived from the pituitary gland of
the whale. Production will start
as soon as the Norwegian whal-
ing expeditions return from the
Antarctic in the latter part of
April with 10000 whales.
During the long journey from
the Antarctic, the hypophysin is
kept in huge refrigerators aboard
the floating whale factories.
The quality of the hypophysin
, Is determined by the time lapse
from when the whale is caught
TIL the hypophysin is put in the
refrigerator. He explained tn I
deterioration sets in if the whale
stays too long in the water be
fore the pituitary gland is re-
moved.

Cod. North of Nantucket, pointing
up toward Cape Cod, stretched a
skinny sandspit with a blob OF
land on the end called Great Point
Left had been coming down from
Nova Scotia with a northeastern
Even if the sandspit had existed
ten centuries ago it might have
been covered by a high tide or a
stiff offshore wind when Left
sailed by it.
Jumping out of bed Pohl an
nounced to his startled wife: 1--WE
got it," Great Point must have
been, in effect, a little island the
morning the vikings first saw it.
And in the morning mists they
could easily have mistaken Nam
tucket for the mainland.
Crouched on the living-room
floor in his pajamas, Pohl looked
for that cape which went to the
north from the land" That meant
Cape Gods tip, obviously. What
was the sound between the island
and the cape? Nantucket Sound
fitted perfectly. And the river that
flowed down from a lake, whose
mouth would be "a long distance
to look from the ship to the sea-?
If the sea meant the open ocean
outside the sound, Left could easily
have been near the mouth of the
Bass River-up which was a lake
where, the saga tells, they an
chored, carried their gear ashore
and built themselves temporary
shelters" Up Bass River lay Fol-
Inns Pond. Pohl happily crawled
back into bed.
He decided to spend his sum-
mer vacation on Cape Cod search
ing for the campsite. We'll find
something - maybe a graveyard,
maybe some old tool, maybe the
mooring holes they used to drill
for their ships" he told his wife.
Mooring holes We're drilled by
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1951-09-24

There must be mooring hole
on top of that skerry," he said
to himself. He rowed over as
rapidly as he could. In a few sec
onds he saw it-a neat, incon-
spicuous inch-wide hole just on
the shore side of the crest of the
rock. Pohl stood there, his glasses
glinting in the sun, and thought,
so this is where Left first Stood"
He was erect and triumphant.
Almost at once, he came upon
several fresh-water springs in the
pine forest. And up the bank, ov-
erlooking the skerry, he found a
flat, clear area about 200 feet
square, exactly right for a camp
SITE A minutes walk eastward
was a high point which would
have made a natural lookout post.
Toward the west, at the end of
the lake, were meadows where
cattle mentioned in the saga might
have grazed.
A few days later Pohl found
second mooring hole chiseled in
bouler on the bank of the Bass
the vikings fished
for salmon.
There was one final test he

Viking Landing Site Believed Found

could apply. The latter part of
the Flateyjarbok saga tells how
Leif's sister, Freydis, had sailed to
Vinland and that there a quarrel
arose between her and a pair of
brothers. Freydis forced them out
of Leif's house. The saga saws:
Then they tine brothers, carried
their belongings out and built a
hut, farther than sight, on the
bank of a fresh-water lake"
Pohl knew that they would have
taken their ship with them. He
found on his map that from the
western end of Follins Pond a mar
row waterway winds through
Imarshland for half a mile, OPEN
ing into a smaller lake called Mill
Pond. He set off to see Mill Pond,
1t was, indeed a fresh-water lake.
And on its one tiny islet was a
mooring hole IL inches deep.
That, as far as Pohl was con-
cerned, clinched his case.
At least two top-notch authori-
ties have come out fatty in favor
of the Follins Pond theory. One
is Hjalmar Holland, a scholar who
has devoted his life to proving the
authenticity of viking relics. The
other is DR.. Henry Goddard Leach
possessor of what is probably the
worlds most complete collection
of writings on Vinland
Although Pohl feels sure that
old viking swords, helmets and
other relics can be found in the
vicinity, he has neither the time,
the money nor the desire to dig
for them. He's proved to his own
satisfaction that Follins Pond was
the site of Vinland.

medieval Norsement in granite
boulders along the fjords of Green
land and Norway. The vikings
held the prows of their ships out
ward with an anchor, and the
stern was moored to an iron rod
slipped into the mooring hole. The
holes are easily distinguishable
from. holes farmers drill for
blasting; mooring holes are small
Ter, not SO deep, and are angled
so that the hawser would pull at
right angles to the mooring pin.
In August 1947 the Polls ar
rived at Cape Cod. Follins Pond,
about a half mile wide and less
than a mile long, lay blue and
sparkling in the sun. There was
scarcely sign Of civilization. For
days he and his wife poked around
the shore, scrambled through the
underbrush and kicked at likely
looking stones. But they found no
viking remains, no freshwater
springs, no good level areas for
a campsite, no meadowland.
On the fourth day, as Pohl
neared the high wooded bank on
the south shore, he noticed a boul-
der lying about 100 feet offshore.

could cover in four days. 1t was
a serious flaw in Pohrs hypothesis.
Pohl explained things to fellow
members at the Brooklyn Ship
Lore and Model Club. Look here"
said one amateur yachtsman
you've been figuring from shore
to shore. But a sailor makes his
landfall when he first sees tn e
land. He can see mountainous
long before he sees the shore"
And of course a lookout would
also acquire additional mileage
from the top of the mast" Pohl
exclaimed.
He studied maps that night,
scrubbed figures on a pad of pa
per, made new reckonings. Finally
he wrote. That leaves 56S miles
out of sight of comfortably
less than the 600 miles of four
days sailing distance referred to
by the saga
Now he was ready to find the
actual campsite. He studied de-
tailed maps of the Cape, to dis
cover some small area that would
tally with the description of Leif's
arrival in Vinland. The saga said:
approaching this land, they came
upon an island which lay to the
north of the land For a week

map room of the New York Public
Library but found nothing that
fitted. Then one night he dreamed
of something he had been looking

If q piece Of wood Is burned in
part, it tends to become charred.
When the burning is strong enough,
and even enough, the wood turns
into charcoal.
Charcoal has been made for a
long time, and the old production
method is still used in some places.
Here is an outline of the old
method:
Trees are cut down, and the
branches are trimmed and piled
together in a mound. Sometimes
the trunks are placed In the mound,
along with the branches. In other
cases the trunks are used for lum-
ber, the branches for charcoal.
The next step is to throw soil
over the mound, almost covering
it. When the wood is set afire, It
burns slowly. A man watches it,
and makes sure that the fire is
put out before too much burning
takes place. Then a heap of char
coal exists, and can be sent to
market.
More modern methods also are
used for the production of char
coal. Ovenlike containers known
as "retorts" are employed in max
ing a great deal Of this material.
Charcoal is used as fuel for small
stoves and fireplaces. It goes into
black gunpowder of the old-fash-
toned kind.
The charcoal industry also pro-
vides certain important chemicals,
including carbon bisulfide. Carbon
bisulfide is used in making cellu-
lose and rayon.
There is good deal of liquid in
the trunk of new-cut tree, and
most of this liquid can be taken
out while the wood is being
charred. Thanks to modern
methods, We get tar, acetic acid
and methyl alcohol from trees.
Several kinds of highly useful
wood tars are produced in this
manner. There are hardwood tars,
beechwood tars and resinous wood
tars.
It is q time of chemical won
ders," and chemists are giving the
world all manner Of products which
were unknown a hundred years ago.
They have been busy in the field
OF wood tars, as well as coal tars.
One Of the older products of
resinous wood tars is turpentine.
Another widely known wood tar
product is creosote.

7 Jockeys, Third Man
Hunted for Taking
Girls on Dope Parties
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. City
detectives set out for points in
Ohio. New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania today to arrest two jockeys
and a race track exercise boy ac-
cused of taking teen-age girls on
dope parties.
There were indications the case
may ultimately involve some
widely known riders and trainers.
Investigators said the dope
parties were at a hotel near Pim-
lico race track here and at Han
over, Pa.
The jockeys and the exercise
boy already have been charged by
the Baltimore grand jury, but
authorities refused to disclose
their names or whereabouts until
they have been put under arrest.
A soldier stationed in Pennsyl-
vania also is involved.
j. Harold Grady, assistant
States attorney, said seven teen
age girls have told stories about
the dope parties.
Statements of three of them, is,
II, and 18 years old, were laid
before the grand jury and led to
charges against the three race
track men and the soldier.
Charles Richardson, %, colored
Ilaborer and rack track frequenter
from MelroSe, Md, already has
been arrested and charged with
administering heroin to the three
girls and a 19-year-old boy.
He was ordered held under
100000 bond for grand jury &C
ton.
Mr.. Grady said the investigation
has been going on since the spring
race meeting at Pimlico in May.
He said the girls told of going
to marijuana and heroin jags with
the jockeys and buying narcotics
with them at a Baltimore confec-
tionery and in Washington.
