Maryland is an eight-point

The Terps have been ranked

,DETR oIT. Sept. 2O,sIt
doesn't show in the statistics
or score, but George Washing
ton has the makings Of an
interesting and winning foot
ball team.
The Colonials just were biting
off more than they could chew
in opening against a strong
Detroit team last night. They
were beaten, 2l-6, on the score
board and somewhat more than
that in statistics.
Detroit was every bit that
much better than George WASH
ington. But the Colonials were
in the game right up until
almost the end, they showed a
better defense than the sta
tistics indicate, and they have
the possibilities Of being a
fiashy offensive outfit when
they get in their class.
\ MILESTONE Scores
Detroit had two touchdowns
and a 1870 lead before the
Colonials became untangled
and got into the game, and
after that it was q right even

Tricky Winds Put
Crews to Test as
Cup Series Opens

signef after looking over
Sceptre's full stem.
Oddsmakers favor Columbia
/ to 3.
The winner won't necessarily
be the fastest hull. Sail shapes
and trim are a factor. And
above all there are the crew
members.
Seconds lost in tying down
a jib or running up a spinnaker
can decide the race. A victory
Iof two minutes is q sound
thrashing.
Columbia Experimental
Columbia has been expert
'menting all summer with sails
to find just the right ones.
zone might make a differ
ence of only a few yards over
another after a Smile run.
But a few yards are a few
yards" said Capt. Fred Law
ton, Columbia's sail trimmer.
Then there is the skipper.
Mann, a dashing, apple
checked Briton, is one of his
country's leading sailers and
often teams with Prince Philip
on his racing yacht.
Cunningham, a shaggy
haired sportsman, was repeat
eddy outsailed on starts during
trials to pick the defender this
summer. But he won when it
counted.
Mann said Sceptre has been
handicapped Ito a certain ex-
tent" because it did not have
the competition that Columbia
had in the trials.
Sceptre Takes to Water
A spokesman for the syndi-
cate that owns Sceptre said the
Columbia crew may be stale
from too much racing,
mot at ALL" said Cunning
ham yesterday and promptly
took Columbia out for a final
practice spin up and down the
harbor.
Sceptre was put into the wa
ter yesterday at teatime after
her crew polished her creamy
white hull.
II think the British have the
best chance they ever did to
win the cup" Lawton said.
This is because both yachts
are of the same 12-meter class,
he said. The boats have to
meet design specifications that
cover so pages and would puz-
zle an Einstein.
Therefore, the differences
between the 70-foot yachts are
an inch here, an inch there, all
subtle design changes that will
add those precious yards after
a long days race.
Britain will be trying for the
eighteenth time to win the
Cup in American possession
since it was first put up for
competition in 1851.
So who'll win? Take your
pick. In yachts as in horses,
it's a difference of opinion that
makes the race.
