Quake Center Depth
Curfai|ed Damage
BY the Associated Press

PASADENA. Calf, April s.
Epicenter of the earthquake that
caused minor damage in South
ern Europe last Monday was of
extraordinary depth-about 400
miles-and this may lead to re-
visions of thinking about the ma
ture of European tremblors, a
Seismologist says.
The shock Monday was more
than twice as deep as any pre-
viously recorded in the European
area, according to DR.. Charles
Richter of the California Insti-
tute of Technology.
He said it's epicenter was be-
meath the Mediterranean Sea
east of the Straits of Gibraltar
Its magnitude of 7.3 qualified it
as a major quake. The largest
shocks ever recorded had magni-
tudes of 8.5.
Damage would have been much
heavier had the tremor occurred
closer to the earth's surface, DR.
Richter said. Most European
shocks occur within 10 to &c
miles of the surface, and the
deepest previously noted were
about 200 miles down, in Italy
Until Monday quakes of 400
mile depth had been noted only
in regions surrounding the Pa.
cific Ocean.

U. S.-Canadian Unit
Due 10 Back Project

OTTAWA, April 3.-The In
ternational Joint Commission is
expected to recommend next
week that the United States and
Canada undertake huge. 10
year hydro-electric development
in the st. John River, reaching
through New Brunswick and
Maine.
The program would cost an
estimated 5000 million.
After long study, the COM
mission is expected to complete
its report by Wednesday at a
meeting in Washington.
Informants here said the
members of the commission, the
Canada United States body that
regulates the use of boundary
waters. are close to unanimity on
proposals for a step-by-step ex-
ploitation of the rivers power
over a period of years. The
Washington meeting will settle
minor points of difference, they
said.
The first recommended step on
the Canadian side, it was
learned, would be the construc-
ton of dam and power plant
at Beechwood, N. B.. a few miles
down river from Perth and near
the Maine border.
This part of the project even
tually would cost $45 million.
1t would have two units. each
generating $4,000 horsepower.
A third unit of the same horse
power could be added later.
The commissions report is ex-
pected to recommend other de-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a
10-year period and also to out

Only Four Break Par
AS Two Young Pros
Lead at Greensboro
BY the Assoeioied Press

GREENSBORO. N. c.. April
3.-The $4,000 Greater Green's
boro Open golf tournament head
ed into it's second round today
with par all but supreme. An
opening-day volley of 148 rounds
produced only four of subpar
quality and seven others at par.
Heading the first day firing
were professionals Bob Rosburg,
Chicago, and Rudy Horvath,
Windsor, Canada. Each had a
four under par 81 over the rain
soaked 6,723-yard Starmount
Forest Country Club course.
They played four hours apart
in comparative obscurity, as did
the two other par-breakers,
julius Boros, Southern Pines,
N. c.. who posted So, and Million
Marusic. Herkimer, N. Y, who
made it in 70.
The glamour boy for the gall
lery, as usual, was Slamming
Sammy Snead. The White Sui
phur Springs. w. Va, veteran is
after his fifth Greensboro VIC
tory since the 1888 inaugural
Sammy shot a creditable II after
taking bogies two of the first
three holes.
Eagle on Is Helps.
Rosburg, whose chief claim to
fame since turning pro last year
was a $1,000 first-place finish in
the $4,000 Brawley (Calif.) Open
last January, was one over par
after three holes. But four
brides and another boyle left
him two under playing the rather
easy 18th, which he eagled with
a 25-foot putt for a three.
Horvath is playing the winter
tour only because he won a
Toronto tournament last fall in
which the first three f1nishers
were rewarded with an all-ex-
penSe circuit trip by the spon-
Sor.
The 30-year-old Rudy was no
ball of fire at the start, with
bogies on Nos. 2 and 8. But he
birdied No. 5 to turn one over
in the So. His putter caught
fire starting with No. 10 as he
birdied five of the next six holes,
two with 15-foot puts. He
missed a five-foot birdie putt
on 10 for the outright lead.
Fast Start in Texas.
Horvath led the Texas Open
in February with a first-day 81,
but slumped after that to collect
only $11O.
Earl Stewart, jr., Dallas, last
years winner, could do no bet
ter than II. He was joined by
such stars as Porky Oliver, John
Palmer, George Fazio and Fred
WamDler.

BasseH Tries Punch
On Rugged Andrade
AT UIine's Tonight
By George Huber

Hard-hitting Percy Bassett, in
term featherweight champion
while Sandy Saddler is in the
Army, takes on a West Coast
fighter with a fancy record in
tonight'S feature fight at Uline
Arena.
In hereunder starting at 8
pm, Bassett tangles with Cisco
Andrade, unbeaten Los Angeles
lightweight. The bout will be on
television (ABC), but will be
BACKED out in Washington.
Andrade, largely unknown in
the East but something Of a SEN
Sation around his home area, has
won 20 fights and had one draw.
Bassett figures to have his hands
full with Andrade, with the
champions punching prowess
due for a test against a man
who never has been knocked
down. BasSett has experience
against fighters of much higher
caliber than any Andrade has
faced, but Andrade's weight edge
Of from S to 8 pounds SHOULD
help make an even fight of it.
Lost To GallardO Here.
This will be Bassett's second
fight in Washington since he
won the interim title with a
fourth-round knockout over Ray
Famechon a little over a year
ago. Last April BasSett lost a
close hereunder here to Dave
Gallardo, then an unknown, in
a fast fight.
Gallardo had no weight edge,
as Andrade will have tonight,
but he absorbed the Bassett
punches that had laid out
Famechon and other tough boys
and dished out plenty of his own.
He put a cut over Bassett's eye
early in the fight and enlarged
on it thereafter, an item that
made a difference.
Among the men BasSett has
stopped since winning the interim
title are Jacques Herbillon, the
French lightweight champion, in
less than one round; Francis
Bonnardel. another French
lightweight, and M a h a m e d
Chickaoui, Frances feather
weight champion. That Chick
aoui bout was Bassett's last,
February 7.
BaSsett. 25-year-old, has
been fighting professionally since
1947 and has scored 81 victories,
80 by knockouts, lost eight and
had one draw.
Second TV Show for Andrade.
This will be only the second
television appearance for An
drade, who has been fighting
pro only a year and a half but
who had 1873 amateur battles.
Two weeks ago in Toledo he beat
Hoacine Khalfi, Algerian light
weight who apparently is a hard
hitter but whose best punches
failed to faze Andrade. That was
an unusual fight in that the two
battlers never clinched once, and
it was Andrade's victory that
earned him tonight's television
fight and the promise of more.
The Semifeature tonight is an
eight-rounder matching Tony
Anthony. an 18-year-old middle
weight from New York, against
Andy Mayf1eld of Miami Beach.
Two SKIES and a four -rounder
fill out the program, starting at
$3.50 pm.

is hoping he'll shed his sore arm
and be effective shortly, but
there isn't enough time to pre-
pare Maury for duty in the first

"Heff" and a deceptively frail-

Frank Hinkey became twin CEN
tiers of a legend that Heffel-
finger was the greatest blocking
guard of all time and Hinkey the
hardest tackler. This legend is
part of the football story in
America today.

particularly from Bert Hanson, {"

On Great Team of '88.
Heffelfinger played on the
great Yale team of 1888 that ran
up 698 points, to 0 for their OPP
ponentS. The heaviest man on
the team, he weighed only 1873
pounds. This team was neither
beaten nor tied.
In 1889 Hefelfinger's first
year as an All-America, c. O.
Gill, the Yale captain, and T. L.
McClung. the battling Eli back,
shared this honor. Yale was
beaten, 10 to 0. by Princeton,
but beat Harvard. 6 to 0.
The year 1890 saw Heffel-
fingers Yale team beaten by
Harvard through the driving
line plunging Of Ma Newell, so
named because he "mothered'
lonely freshmen and stood up for
weaklings. This year ended on a
note of success for Yale when the
Blue trounced Princeton, 80 to 0,

was the first game in which sig
nails were called by number code.
In 1891 Heffelflnger's last
year at Yale, Harvard was beat
en-, 10 to 0. and Princeton, 10
to O.
Heffelfinger was the first
guard to drop back and head q
screen of interference on an end
run. His stance both on attack
and defense was unorthodox for
his day. He stood almost erect,
his body leaning forward slightly
from the hips.

Decision to Enter Yale.
He was born in Minneapolis on
December 20. 1867. Even before
he entered Central High School in
Minneapolis he read about foot
ball at Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton in Spalding's official football
guide, and was determined to
play at one of these old institu-
tons. Little was known of foot
ball in the Middle West at that
time, but young Heffelfinger or
ganized a team while he was at
Central High. A Yale alumnus,
the late Harlow Gale. class of '85,
persuaded him to enter Yale.
