President soup Races
May Be Contracted

The 1851 Presidents Cup Re-

agreed this week.
With the first event less than
two months away. there had been
considerable speculation over
whether the program would Cd
be Cancelled or (2) cut down. At
this point the answer to both
questions is no.
However, there may be an un-
usual contraction of the program
so that the traditional month
long show would be run of in
three week ends.
Meeting to Be Held.
This question hinges on meet
ing soon of rowing, swimming
and canoeing officials with John
Remon, Regatta Association presi-
dent. This group will consider
the possibility of running the
three events on the week end
of September 80.
Previously these events have
been spread over the first two
week ends in September.
Meanwhile, it appeared the sail
races would go off as scheduled
on September Is and Is and the

FORE AND AFT
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

This is a brief report on an
outfit that has sailed the Potomac
River for q years without falling
back on the internal combustion
engine.
It's Skipper Fred Tips Corin-
thian-Capital Yacht Club sea
scout group, which proudly claims
never to have resorted to power
in its many cruises.
Currently the scouts skipjack,
Silver Cloud, is off on another
two week cruise of the lower river.
The boat recently returned from
a three-week trip with another
crew of scouts. The group had
plenty of light breezes, but when
there wasn't enough wind, four
14-foot oars were broken out and
the good old armstrong engine"
went to work.
Tip reports that when the
present cruise is ended, his boys
will settle down for some serious
training in the George Washing
ton University Tempest dinghies
in preparation for the junior
sailing championship of the
Chesapeake to be held July %
at the Naval Academy.
The recent navigator's contest
sponsored by the Potomac River
Power Squadron in its rendezvous
on Brenton Bay produced an un-
usually close finish. The top four
boats wound UP within a period of
II seconds.
Charlie Little's Pilot was q
seconds late from his original
calculation; Gordon Malkie's Ara
gon, 35 seconds late: Len Hewitt's
Tahoka. 80 seconds late, and Jack
Miller's Sea Nymph, A seconds
late. The big payoff comes
August 11-12 at the fifth district
contest off Sue Island, Md.
Another kind of contest is COM
ing up between the Potomac River
Power Squadron and Potapsco
River Power Squadron-a contest
between squadron orchestras. The
Potomac Ribbers will be arrayed
against the Potapsco Bilge Pump
ers, with no notes barred, in a jam
session July 81 at Maryland Yacht
Clubs Fairview station below
Baltimore.
Among the many important
events programmed this week end
is the Admiral Byrd Trophy series
for Hampton One-designS at
Cambridge (Md) Yacht Club to-
morrow and Sunday. The famed
Polar explorer, who sponsored the
prize, has been invited to attend.
Winner of the three-race series
becomes the Eastern Seaboard
champion of the class. Washington
may be represented from among
members of the recently formed
Hampton fleet.
Joe Palmer writes from, of all
places, Hollywood, Calf. that he
may bring back a "hot" 225-cubic-
inch hydroplane from the West
Coast. If so, then maybe Wash
ington will have two 225s racing.
Aubrey Thacker has moved into
that class, although at this point
hes had more headaches than
trophies to show for his shift from
the runabout class.
