Potomac NaVigators
Strive 10 Become
First 10 Keep Title

Potomac River Power Squad
ron navigators set out tomorrow
to do what never has been done
before-win two years in row
the nth district plotting con-
test Of the United States Power
Squadron.
More than so yachts from all
sections of Chesapeake and Della
ware Bays participate in the
contest of precision, skill and
seamanShip that will decide the
top pilots of this area.
The contest is the highlight
Of the fifth district rendezvous
which is expected to draw some
200 yachts to Maryland Yacht
Clubs Fairview CMdO station
below Baltimore.
Potomac squadron is the host
outfit this year. The only reason
it is not held in Washington is
the fact there are only a few
clubs with facilities big enough
and open water for the navi-
gators to go through their PAGES.
The FairView area offers both.
FOx's Accuracy Amazing.
But host or not, Potomac'S
team of three top boats and skip
pers are out to win the Fifth
District Trophy. The team max
ing the lowest margin of error
over the courses Is the winner
In addition, the boat with the
lowest error will receive the Du-
Pont Trophy, won last year by
Skipper Roy Fox of PatapSco
Power Squadron with the amaz-
ing low error of one second early.
Commander Maurice Stead of
Potomac Squadron said so many
boats are entered in the contest
that it will be necessary to send
them off in three waves, starting
at 10-minute intervals. On each
yacht a neutral observer will be
assigned to verify times.
Potomac Crews Listed.
Approximately AZ team yachts
are entered, plus another 20
yachts competing for individual
honorS. The Potomac Squadron

Top Tennessee Tai|hack
Breaks Foot in Practice
BY the Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Sept. IL.
--Tennessee's 1853 football hopes
received a damaging blow today
when Pat Oleksiak. No. l tail
back, suffered a broken left foot
in scrimmage.
Pat may be out for the sea-
son." Coach Harvey Robinson
said. 1T all depends on how fast
the injury mends."
OlekSiak. strapping 190-
pound junior from Hampstead,
N. Y, had been hailed by Robin
son as potentially one of the
finest triple-threat tailbacks in
Tennessee history.
Ironically, he sat out most
of last season with a foot injury.
Oleksiak was felled early in the
game-like scrimmage between
the varsity and freshman squads.
Before he was hurt he had per-
formed brilliantly, scampering 81
yards for a touchdown the first
time he handled the ball and
tossing a 23-yard pass to End
Roger Rotrof for another.
Robinson said Jimmy Wade,
l62-pound junior from Lynch
burg, Va. would be moved up to
the varsity to replace Oleksiak.

Cling could be fierce.
Early this season George Kell,
in a hot hitting streak, predicted
he'd win the American League
batting championship and
viewed Mickey Mantle as his
chief competitor. Neither is
among the leagues top five hit
ters now. If Bill Veeck shifts
the Browns to Baltimore he's
expected to repair his financial
fences by getting a three-year
advance on television rights from
the same brewery that sponsors
the Mats games. Repeatedly
million dollar deal.
Hy Turkin, who edited q
World Series record book for a
safety razor firm, is offering 500

There still are 67 candidates
for places on the Maryland team,
and since only 80 will be taken
to Missouri. the competition still
is fierce for several positions.
Clicks on Defense.
Tatum, back for his first full
day of coaching after spending
most of the week in the hos
pital at Baltimore with a kidney
ailment, was pleased at the way
Bernie Faloney is taking over
at quarterback. The triple
threat senior was passing we'll
and also was outstanding as a
defensive ha1fback.
Although Tatum was pleased
with Falony. he was jrked at
some aspects of yesterdays
scrimmage. He was disappointed
with the protection offered the
passer on some plays, and indi-
Gated his gridders would spend
some extra time on that phase
before departing for Missouri
next week.
Palahunik, Dennis Stand Out.
Among other players who did
we'll yesterday were Guard
George Palahunik and End Rus
sell Dennis.
The work of Palahunik, a 200
pound Junior, is just about what
was expected off the showing he
made in spring practice.
Dennis play at end is one Of
the pleasant surprises of the
practice sessions at Maryland.
The 6-foot-3 sophomore has little
experience, but he's a rugged
chap at 210 pounds. One of his
strong points is that he handles
both offensive and defensive
duties capably.

Davis Cup Zone Title
C|inched by Trabert
And Seixas in Canada
By the As.oeiafad Pre.s

MONTREAL. Sept. 12.-Tony
Trabert and Vic Seixas struck
the clinching blow for the United
States in the American Zone
Davis Cup tennis final today by
subduing Canada's Lorne Main
and Paul Wiley, 2-6. 6-3, 6-3,
GO, in a doubles match played
in blustery winds and steady
rain.
The triumph gave the United
States a 80 lead in the best
three five match series
and made mere formality out
of the final two singles tomorrow.
Trabert and Seixas figured in
the other two points also, scor-
ing straight-Set victories over
Henri Rochon and Lorne Main
in yesterdays opening singles.
Americans Not at Peak.
The new United States singles
champion and the Wimbledon
titleholder were something short
of overpowering in doubles, how
ever, and apparently will have to
do a lot of boning up before they
stand much chance against the
Australian tandem of Lewis Hoad
and Ken Rosewall.
The victory today assured the
Americans another trip to Aus
tralia where they must meet the
winner of match between Bel
GUM and India in the inter-
zone finals before they can chal-
lenge the Aussies for the big
international trophy.
Wiley Stars in First Set.
The Americans didn't work
we'll together in the first set and
frequently were caught fiat
footed on some sharp volleying
and overhead smashes by Wiley,
23-year-old freshman member of
the Canadian forces.
But after losing Seixas' service
in the fourth game of the open
ing set and ultimately the set.
the Americans smothered the
Canadians with their big serv-
ices. They didn't lose a delivery
once in the last three sets.
The match was played before
a crowd of some 900 hardies at
the Mount Royal Tennis Club.
Lawrence Baker, chairman of
the United States Davis Cup Sc
lection committee and non-play-
ing captain of the team in these
matches. said Seixas and Trabert
didn't play up to expectations.

we'd have eaten Maryland up.
Last year they ate us up. But
maybe in couple of years we'll
be back up and they'll be down.
Nobody stays up all the time"
Record Crowd for Terps.
When Maryland visits this
town of 1000 on October 8, an
all-time Clemson attendance
record virtually is assured. The
Tigers and Villanova drew
26,50O in the 22,OOO-capacity
stadium last year and this year
the folks here believe Maryland
will draw 10000. They'll sit on
the grass banks. in the aisles
and on each others laps. No
paying customer will be turned
down simply because it's stand
ing room only.
With a question-mark team
led by sophomore quarterback,
Don King, as the key man in
a new formation, Howard has
gone out on the limb by book
ing Clemson's most attractive
home schedule Of all time. Mary
land. Wake Forest and Auburn
will follow Presbyterian into the
Clemson stadium. This is a
tiny town which is l30 miles
from Atlanta, Charlotte and Co.
lumbia, the three biggest cities
in each direction.
This is Howards SD season
at Clemson and his 14th as head
coach. Nobody demanded his
job because of poor record
last season. since Clemson fans
knew the circumstances. The
only season Frank heard the
wolves was in 1947, when he
had a As record with good ma
terial. He quieted the alumni
the next season with a perfect
record in 10 games and a vic
tory over Missouri in the Orange
Bowl.
Clemson has reason to believe
it viii be thankful that Don
King was born and raised in
nearby Anderson 60 niles and
that his ambition was to attend
the military college near his
home. Upon graduation from
high school. King had so many
college offers he almost was
swayed to accept one other than
CiemSon'S.
Impressive Debut.
On his first run from scrim-
mage last year-as a freshman

down against Presbyterian. In
his first starting game-against
Fordham-King ran 81 and II
yards for touchdowns and set

a school rushing record of 234
yards.
King completed only % of SO
passes last year but they be-
ieve he'll be better from the T..
The coaches visualize the sopho-
more speedster as a wonderful
safety man.
Tommy Williams, who was at
the bottom of a long list of half
back candidates when the Tigers
shifted to the T, suddenly has
blosSomed as the No. 2 quarter
back. Another contender is
Pooley Hubert, son of the former
VMI coach.
With no more legs to break,
the Tigers see Dreher Gaskin as
the finest end ever to wear the
Orange and Purple. He's 6-foot-
4 and 225 and loves to play foot
ball. But he broke his left leg
in 1851 and, his right one in 1852
and has played a game and q
half in two years.
Clemson lost every member of
last years starting defensive
team except Nathan Gressette,
now a senior tackle and a good
one. That means most of the
regulars will have to learn to
play defense as well as offense,
but Howard claims that is one
of the least Of his worries.
Situation at Glance.
In a capsule, Clemson is strong
at end, tackle and quarterback
but only one deep; strong on Of
fenSe but questionable on de-
fense at backf1eld spots, only
fair at center and actually weak
at the guards. Red Whitten and
Buck George made almost 500
yards rushing each last year
and both are back.
The Tigers were run over only
by Maryland and Florida last
year. They lost to Villanova and
South Carolina by a touchdown
and to Auburn by a field goal.
Their best game in defeat was
against Kentucky. The only
teams they beat, Presbyterian
and Boston College, are their
Maryland opponents this
year.
