By Molcolm Lomborne. Jr.
Harvey Lekson and Harry Lew
inson of Columbia Yacht Club
were perfect-score shippers in
the 1854 Presidents Cup Regatta
sailing program which wound up
late yesterday with presentation
Of The Evening Star Trophies at
Hams Point.
A third skipper, Jim Carson,
from Philadelphia, made q clean
sweep in the Lightning class.
Lekson came from behind in
the third and final race sailed
in a light to moderate southerly,
to win the top prize in the Comet
class. He sails Sleipnir II. Bob
Ray. also of Columbia, was of to
a near-perfect start in the
windup but slipped to q fifth
position, giving him a second
place trophy.
Levinson Wins Snipe Title.
Levinson, an Army private sta
toned at Fort Lesley McNair,
again demonstrated his superb
ority in the Snipe class with his
Bluedevil. Another Columbian,
Bill Rushlow in Pursuit, earned
a second-place prize.
An outstanding performance
was turned in by Frank Mar
quardt Of Alexandria. also of Co.
lumbia, in winning the Thistle
class. With his brother Gene as
crew, Marquardt jumped the gun
in yesterdays race, was recalled
and thus started out with 13
boats ahead of him. He had
passed all but two Thistles at the
end of the first lap. and on the
second, his White Shadow went
into the lead.
Charlie Ill of Arlington, for
mer intercollegiate dinghy cham
pion from Brown, stayed in front
in the Penguin class although
he lost out in making it three-all.
Charles Strausburg of Baltimore,
sailing It'd Bit, led the fleet in
the last race with Ills Iggy Sec
ond. This assured Strausburg of
a final second.
Charles Smith of Annapolis
won yesterdays race with a
whopping half-mile lead over
the next boat. This gave his
Uh-Oh II first in the series.
Slater Chesapeake Winner.
The Chesapeake 20s class was
taken by Karl Statter of West
River in America despite a fourth
in the final race. Morton Knight
of Alexandria in Rainbow won
the last race and thus wrapped
up a third-place trophy. Tony
Wells, of Alexandria and Ma
tional Yacht Club, was second
in the windup and second in
the series.
These two shippers were in
volved in one of two protests
heard by the race committee in
lengthy deliberations prior to
the trophy presentation. Linda
Weisbrod, Miss Washington of
1854, awarded The Star Trophies.
The National Yacht Clubs
Duster fleet took quite a busting
from the New Jersey shippers in
the first appearance here of this
class. Winner was George Vogel
of Collingswood, N. j., in Hocus-
Pocus.
