The school starts off with blackboard
sessions to teach each new driver the mean
ing of those fancy flags the officials wave,
safety precautions and the right way to
drive the Marlboro course.
Then we make every driver walk the
two miles around the course. It's strictly
road course, and we want them to know
where they can 60 off it, if they have to, with
out getting in trouble" Mr.. Gussin says.
The instructors then drive the students
fairly slowly around the course to show
them the proper line through the turns,
when to stand on the brakes and when to
SHIFT gears in those growing little monsters.
After a while, the novice drivers are
sent out to solo under observed instruction
for five hours: If they're not doing it right,
the instructors call them in and tell them
again.
~ don't care if driver doesn't win a
good grounding in the fundamentals" Mr..
Gussin declares.
After the nOviceS finish their schooling
and compete in their first sprint race, they
receive temporary licenses. They must COM
pete in six regular events in a two-year
period to earn national license.
Not everyone gets license. AS Mr. Gus
sin explains: You've got to be good driver
and good sportsman, and you've got to
have good judgment"
I'VE had fellow out here who was very
fast, but twice he banged into the wall. He
wasn't afraid. He didn't show any concern.
If he had hit that wall differently, he could
have turned sideways and killed someone.
We just couldn't have that. He didn't get
license"

But it takes long time and lot of in
struction before any of those drivers is per-
mitted to rev his engine in quest of silver
trophies.
Pretty girls, some of them racing drivers
themselves, are an easily recognized fea-
ture of the sport. One of the newest area
drivers is blonde Stephanie Roam, 2l-year-
old laboratory technician from $40 Valley
lane, Falls Church
The slim, attractive Miss Roam recently
bought a powder blue two-seater and, after
going through the drivers school, proceed
ed at high speed to amaze the experts by
leading the field for two laps before she
was overtaken by few faster cars.
Herb Gussin of 1O2O5 Poplar street, Sill
yer Spring, an automobile salesman and an
SEGA official. was in charge of a recent seS-
sion of the drivers school He and the rest
of the club officials are proud of the turn
out. Some 100 fledgling drivers from as far
away as Massachusetts, New York, New Jer-
sey, Ohio and the Carolinas, came in search
of competition licenses
The Washington Region of the SEGA,
which is strictly an amateur organization,
feels it has the best drivers school in the
country. "If you learn to race at Marlboro,
you can race anywhere" they'll tell you at
the drop of sparkplug.
Results seem to bear them out. Seven of
the 13 national championships for the last
year were won by heavyfOoted drivers from
the Washington Region. The local region al
ways has four or five national champions in
the lists.
AS MIR. Gussin explains it, drivers must
be over 81, pass physical examination and
have their cars in top condition. All cars
must have seat-belts and rollbars, and
drivers must wear crash helmets and fire

provided by Henry Barclay. He
has beaten Welsh and fourth
seeded Charles Brooke.
Smith, who is on a leave of
absence from his State Depart
ment post in Iran, probably has
won more national tennis titles
than any Washingtonian.
His first success in the big
time came in 1924 when he won
the National Boys singles and
doubles championships. His
most recent triumph on a ma
tional scale occurred in 1859
when he and his partner, Hugh
Lynch, won the National Senior
doubles.
This span of IS years between
National championships won by
the same person has not been
equalled in American tennis.
Altogether, Alphonso has
played in the finals of Is Ma
tional events, winning six.
Most players have one shot
which they favor above all
others. But few have been so
completely reliant on one stroke
as Smitty has during his career.
He admittedly is weak at net,
on service and off his backhand,
But his big top-spin forehand-
and fierce competitive spirit
have won him the day on innu-
merable occasions.

This years Middle Atlantic
tournament will be unusual in
several respects.
According to tentative plans,
it will be held at Woodmont
Club. Edgemoor usually hosts
the event when it takes place in
the Washington area. Since
Edgemoor is holding the Ma
tional Seniors this summer,
club members decided that it
would be too much to run the
Middle Atlantic there also.
Traditionally, the Middle At
lantic begins on the weekend of
July 4 and ends the following
weekend. This year, barring
a change in present plans. the
tournament will start on July
10, a Monday. All matches will
be played during the week.
