Hoop skirts, ante bellum

and a slew of you alls" will
abound at the Plantation Party
being given tonight by Martha
Rountree and husband Oliver
Presbrey. Everything but the
scent of magnolia blossoms will
prevail in their Cleveland ave-

by curtain time" the imagina-

of that sprinkled around.
A six-piece orchestra will play
for the party that started out
for a handful of out-of- town
friends here for Thanksgiving
and has grown to about SO now,
still mostly out of towners.
Never satisfied with an ordinary
party, Martha decided to slant
this one to her own home terri
tory 100 years ago. She'll wear
red velvet ballgown trimmed
with pink carnations that her
Observation-Disclosures wore
to Dixie dances. Ollie will be
turned out in Rhett Butler style
with a blue cutaway and ruff1ed
shirt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Van
Buren Joy of Morristown, N. j.,
will come down for it. The for
mer, a descendant of President
Van Buren, will sport a frock
coat that belonged to his great
grandfather. a Civil War colo
mel; his wife Edith will wear a
silk gown her great-great grand
mother bought in Paris from
Worth in 1850. The c. Schuyler
ClarkS of Palm Beach and New
York are here for it-she is
Richie Clark, the Farrell Cheek
heiress. Miles Lane, United

here from the Big City to put

The Talmadges sent the country
hams to go with the grits for
the midnight breakfast.
Regardless of how they feel,
all guests tonight will be in the
pink. Since this is the most
fattering color to women there
will be pink lights in the corners

.Debs Feted
ByAnsberrys
And Kuhns

A dinner at the Sulgrave Club
and a dance later in the evening
at the 1925 F Street Club kept
some of this and last years deb
utantes on the 60 yesterday.
The dinner party was given by
Mr.. and Timothy Peter Ansberry,
in honor of Mrs. Ansberry's sis
ter, Beverly (better known as
Peggy Steinman.
The dance was given by Mrs.
VI. Coggeshall Kuhn for her
daughter Ann, who made her
debut at the Washington Debu-
tante Ball last year. Most of the
guests at the small dance were
friends in Miss Kuhn's post-deb-
utante group, plus the group at
the earlier Ansberry dinner party
and a few old friends of Mrs.
Kuhn's. Sidney's orchestra pro-
vided the music.
Miss Kuhn wore a white net
gown with metallic silver plumes
and her mother selected a black
gown with gold embroidery. To
add a festive air. the girls were
given, as favors, masks like those
used at Paris balls, and the men
were presented with diplomatic
medals and ribbons to wear. The
latter motif was appropriate for
the honoree. Miss Kuhn, who is
a student at the Foreign Service
School of Georgetown University.
The young people at the Ans
berry gathered first at the new
Ansberry home on Wyoming ave-
nue. for drinks, and then proceeded
to the Sulgrave Club. Mrs. Ans
berry had planned to give the
dinner at the house, but complet-
ing the decorations took longer
than she had expected.
Miss Steinman came out twice
this year, first at a dance given
by her grandmother in Baltimore
in June, and then again in Sep
tember at a dinner dance given
by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Steinman, in their Lam
caster (PaD home. The debutantei
is staying here with her sister and
brother-in-law at the present
time, and attending Mount Vernon
Junior College.
For yesterdays dinner Miss
Steinman wore a full length gown
with full black tulle skirt and al
rhinestone-overed top.
Mrs. Ansberry wore a full-length
black velvet dinner dress with a

Team Match Will Revive
Mat Rhubarb at Turner'S

An argument begun last week
at Turner's Arena will be con-
tinued there next Wednesday
night.
A special team match has been
arranged sending Lord Carlton
and Laverne Baxter against john
ny Barend and Sander Kovacs.
All had parts in a rhubarb at
Turner's the last time out.
It started when Baxter was dis
qualified in his match against
Barend. Baxter didn't like it and
started a fight with Referee Matte
Brown. Matchmaker Gabe Men
endez intervened and got hit in
the mouth.
Baxter refused to leave the
ring, and when Carlton and Ko-
vacs, the two wrestlers in the
next match, came on, the trouble
continued. Carlton threw Baxter
out of the ring and went on to
win an unpopular decision over
Kovacs. The only thing to do was
to bring everybody back for an
other try next week.

was so intent on the next box.
Some bowlers are distracted by
thinking about the score, or some
thing that's happened earlier in
the game"
Astor Clarke, whose duckpin
career paralleled that of Mrs.
Slack. had a similar attitude,
maintaining that will power to
concentrate under any circum-
stances was greatly responsible
for his success.
Clarke Had a Point.
In the course of a big tourna-
ment a well wisher rushed to
Clarke with the information that
a rival had just rolled a sensa-
tional game.
Clarke took time out to say:
Thanks, but I'm not in
tereSted. You see those ten
pieces of wood down there. You
roll one, two or three balls Il
'em every time they're set up
I'm interested only in how many
of those pins I can knock down
each time I roll. What the other
fellow is doing is of no concern
to me. I hope HE is thinking
about ME. You say that fellow
rolled 100. Let's see how his
AVERAGE compares with mine
when this thing is over"
The National Duckpin Congress
bases it's ratings strictly on aver
age and for six straight seasons,
starting with 1856, Clarke was
No. 1. His reign was matched
exactly by Mrs. Slack, who began
hers a year earlier.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Mar

clared ineligible for further inter-

Cochran, Olympic Champ at 70.
Suggests Athletes Train Less
By Brion Bell. Jr.

Roy Cochran, who set an Olym-
pic track record when he was
almost 80 years old. believes
athletes can get in better shape
by training less-not more.
Cochran, now a lieutenant in
the Navy Medical Service Corps
stationed at Pensacola, Fla. was
i'm Washington this week to lec-
Iture before the Aero Medical As
lsociation meeting. A doctor of
philosophy, who got his degree in
physiology, Cochran is a specialist
doing research on the stresses and
strains placed on the men who
fly today's high-speed aircraft. 1
But the lieutenant has more
than degrees to back up his ideas
ION the training of athletes. In
1948, Cochran set a record of
SILL seconds in the 400-meter
hurdles at the Olympics in Lon
don and three American records
kSet by Cochran within one month
in 1942-are still on the books.
Olympic Experience Cited.
"What leads me to think
athletes would be better off if
they cut down on their workouts
is my performance before and at
the 1948 .Olympics, Cochran
says. II made the Olympic team
more as a hobby than anything
else. I was 20 years old, married
and had two children. was TAX
ing IA hours week class work
toward my Phi. D at the University
Iof Southern California and teach
ing eight hours. Two days week
I assisted in the Navy's accelera-I
tion program and two other
afternoons did part time work
in the Los Angeles Recreation De-
partment.
THAT didn't leave me much
time for track and I got out
only three times a week and then
only a half hour day. I stream
lined my workouts and packed
more into those 80 minutes than
most runners do in two hours. /
II felt ready-not tired when
the Olympic tryouts came around
and I didn't lose a 400-meter
hurdles race either in the tryouts
or at the games. In fact, when I
set the record I felt I had plenty
of speed left and if I had been
pressed might have run it faster"
Works for Other Sports.
"That business about shorter
workouts making better athletes
will work for other sports, too.
Look at Earl Blaik, the Army
coach. He complains that he only
has his football players an hour
and half a day because of their
strict academic program. I be-
lieve that's part of Army's sue
cess. They get more done in that
time than other teams do in a
longer period. They work on con-
ditioning for less time but harder
and run their plays at top speed.
When it comes to the game, they
are not tired-they're ready and

Ebersole explains it in two

To this might be added, concen-

her, the rest of the world did not
