A pioneer of professional foot

Halas helped organize the
American Football Association in

Curly Lambeau was granted the

Mile feature of the Boston "A
track meet Saturday night at the
Boston Garden, but II is being
whipped even higher by pre-
race statements from the two
athletes principally involved.
Yves Santee and Gunnar Nielsen.
Santee calls Nielsen "a clumsy

can beat him"
Their meeting Saturday night
will be a rubber match. Santee

delphia's l2-lap banked track
last Friday. while Nielsen scored
a 4:09.5 victory on the eight-lap

Washington the next night.
Critical Of Early Pace.
Santee, the Kansas flash who
holds the American outdoor rec
ord, added his remarks to the
young feud yesterday in Pitts
burgh, where he had gone to at
tend a dinner for amateur ,ath-
letes. He said Nielsen could
beat me the next six races and
it wouldn't prove anything IL
they were run like that one" re-
ferring to what was considered
a slow early pace in the race at
Washington.
Maybe Nielsen figures I'm
over the hill." Santee said. "Well,
I'm 90. He's 26 or ~. He's q
clumsy runner"
It was in an interview after
the Washington race that Mel

Richards Is Late Entry.
The mile race Saturday is

break Cornelius Warmerdam's

Richards reached is feet S

mrs. Weisenborn." to quote
A. L. Ebersole, executive secre-
tary of the National Duckpin
Congress. beyond question is
the greatest woman southpaw in
duckpin history"
The record book bears him out.
In April. 1853. she hung up the
women's all-time mark for a
three-game set, All in the Bal
timore Recreation Majer League

Augie Schroll established the
current record for seven-game
mixed doubles, with Mrs, Weis-
enborn rolling 885 and Schroll
989 for 1874 in the st. Patrick's
tournament at Clarendon.
For the last two years, Mrs.
Weisenborn, busy housewife
who finds time for duty as q
school traffic crossing guard, has
ranked No. 8 nationally. These
are the only times she has ap-
peared in the first 10. q fact
that might cause some bowling

and sixth in 1881.
However. we weren't thinking
SO much Of Mrs. Weisenborn's
prowess as the manner in which
she delivers the ball. In this
respect. she's all alone.

she tosses the bali straight UP.

Iof PEPCO's location on the Po-

letter from the District Govern
ment urging that in granting

the water board require ade-
quate provision for protecting
the water supply Of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area"
Aud Explains Views
Mr.. Aud said he also wanted
lit understood he was not voicing
opposition to the plan.
L. w. Cadwallader, mechanical
engineer for PEPCO, said the
Loudoun site was picked because
lit was only "a miles from Wash
ington, yet was far enough out
side the city to be sufficiently
dispersed from the other three
IPEPCO plants in case of enemy
attack. Another factor in select
ling that site was its proximity
to the northwest end Of PEPCO's
service area where additional
power is needed.
Mr.. Cadwallader said the site
was close to rail facilities, was
near enough to Seneca Lake to
have an adequate supply Of con-
densor water, and the river
banks on the Virginia side were
high enough to give maximum
protection from floods.
Mr.. Cadwallader told the
water board that the River Bend
dam proposal had no definite
status at the present time.
The same prepared statements
were presented at the hearing
as were presented in a congress
