Muncey CIinches Title
On HydropIone Circuit

MADISON. Ind, Sept. 8
(AP).-If Century 81 ExpoSi-
ton is as successful as the boat
of the same name, Seattle can
run that monorail track on up
to Nome.
Bill Muncey piloted Century
81 to its fourth straight victory
on the unlimited hydroplane
circuit yesterday, retiring the
Indiana Governors Cup with a
third straight triumph on the
three-mile Ohio River course
here.
Ron Musson and Miss Bar
dahl, another Seattle combina-
ton, beat Muncey to the finish
line in the 15-mile windup heat
but officials ruled MuSson had
jumped the gun and he had to
make another lap.
Musson could have done no
more than tie Muncey for total
points in the regatta and
Muncey would have won ANYWAY
on the best total time.
Muncey and "21" also have
won the Gold Cup, Diamond

nual Labor Day series for Ches-
apeake Bay log canoes, but lost
the second event when he had
to turn back and pick up two

Hanks, of the Tired Avon

the Capt. Buck Richardson
Trophy with his triumph in the
first of the days races, but
slipped to second place behind
Magic in the second event.
A guSty, northerly breeze of

broke a Spreader on one canoe
and a mainsail club of an
other, but provided ample
thrills and excitement for spec
tatorS.
The first race was sailed over
a 612-mile triangular course in
the Miles River, and actually
was a makeup race for one
previously started off oxford,
August Is. However, at that
time, the wind deserted the
shippers and the race was re-
sailed yesterday.
divers Gift crossed the fin
ish line first in the Richardson
Trophy race and also was first
in corrected time.

the illness was not the result

Coach George Farmer rates
him as a good passer. However,
the team has good size at the

has clinched his third straight
National driving championship.
The final lap over the river,
dotted with debris from two
successive overnight rain
storms, was only 98.813 miles
an hour. Muncy had run 104.-

urday heat.
Both Century 81 and Miss
Bardahl are powered with
Rolls-Merlin engines and they
had too much straightaway
speed for the other Allison
powered boats, including COM
munity-owned Miss Madison.
The hometown boat was driven
to second place in the final
heat and third overall behind
Ole Bardahl's boat.
Miss Tahoe, driven by Col.
Russ Schleeh of March Air
Force: Base, Calf, also was
penalized a lap in the finals
and finished fourth ahead of
Miss B. g. l., driven by Bob
Gillian of Seattle.
Some newsmen in the judges
stand thought as many as three
boats crossed the starting line
ahead of the gun. Referee Bill
Newton Of Smithtown, N. Y,
declined to show the automatic
camera picture of the start. He
said it wasn't official and just

Bolt Fades
As Maxwell
Takes Lead

DALLAS, Sept. 3 CAP).-Bnly
Maxwell is in a strong position
today to win his first golf tour
nament in a year, boasting a
four-stroke lead going into the
final round in the $35, 900 Dali
las Open.
Maxwell fired a 2-under-par
So for a 54-hole total Of 206
yesterday to move from second
into the lead as tempestuous
Tommy Bolt, the angry man of
the links, skied to a rs and fell
into a tie for 17th at 215. Bolt
had led at the halfway mark
with 1877.
Maxwell was about as mad as
Bolt, although he had a good
round-that is, so far as the
press was concerned. Bolt not
only wouldn't come to the press
room to talk with the writer's
but refused to talk to any that
looked him up. He threatened
to withdraw because of an in
jured wrist he said he got at
Oklahoma CITY.
Maxwell wouldn't come to
the press room. He said he
didn't like the way the boys
wrote about him anyway, and
besides, they had had him from
Dallas instead of Las Vegas,
where he is registered, and it
would hurt him financially.
Maxwell also had had some
words with a photographer dur
ing his round.
Johnny Pott, the Dallas Open
champion in 1860, stayed in
contention with a par 10 that
gave him 210 and second place.
Jack Nicklaus, the National
Open champion, shot a So to tie
Juan Rodriguez for third place
at 211. Rodriguez had a SO.
Maxwell has won six tourna-
ments on the PGA tour since
starting in 1854. However, his
last victory was in the Insur-
ance City Open at Hartford in
Of last year. This year
his best showing has been a tie
for third place. He has banked
$22,416.12.

He could develop into the best
lineman I've had at Laurel, "
the coach said. Yanchulis starts
his eighth campaign against
Lackey September IA.
Laurel's situation, with in
experienced players forced into
starting roles, Is similar to the
setups at most of the other
smaller Maryland schools. Only
the coaches at Central and
Glenelg are predicting better
years.
New coaches are on the job
at Lackey, Glenelg and Great
Mills. William Close is the new
coach at Lackey while John
Barrett, former Anacostia High
School and University Of Mary
land athlete, is the new mentor
at Glenelg. Both were assistants
last year. Mike Moses, an as
sistant last year at Leonard
town. moved to the head job at
Howard County.
The rundown:
CENTRAL - Coach Rocco
Romeo used his younger, in
experienced players last year,
the schools first, and didn't
win a game. However, all
hands gained valuable expert
ence.
Romeo figures to win his
share this year. now that the
squad has picked up the overall
experience and speed. Trans
fer Roy Phillips, an end from
Augusta Military Academy, and
two non-letter winners from
last year, Tackle Sam Vende-
mia and End Dan Wheeler, are
expected to help.

GLENELG THE successful
switch of Tom Roby from end
to quarterback is one of the big
reasons for Coach Barrett's
optimism. Lou Jones and Bob
Hensley are expected to pro-
vide Glenelg with a quick
striking pair of halfbacks.
In the line are Tackles David

back at center. Barrett has

teams for two years. He played
baseball at Maryland.

Plans Complete For
Opening Of Schools
At Harrington

The 1962-63 school year will Of
ficially open ait the Harrington
schools at $50 am, We'd, Sept.
5. Dismissal time for the first
week will be at 1890 pm. The
cafeteria will not start operations
until Monday, September 10.
Students in grades Z through IL
are requested to report ito the
field house upon arrival at school.
First grade students will report to
the cafeteria for room assign
ments. All students in grades 2
through will report to the room
they were in last year for new
room assignments. Elementary
students, other than first graders,
entering Harrington for the first
time will report to the central Of
flee for room assignments.
Because of the lack of parking
facilities due to the new con-
struction, the Board of Education
at its regular August meeting
adopted policy by which students
will not be permitted to drive cars
to school until such time as
adequate facilities are available.
Included in this policy was the
provision of a parking space for
faculty members on the hard sur
ace north of the field house, and
a request to faculty members not
to park on Dornan Street or
streets leading into Dorman ST.
The Board also directed the secre-
tary to request the Town Council
to declare 500 feet of the west side
of Dormsm Street, starting at the
north entrance of the school
grounds, as a 'No Parking Zone"
since this space must be used for
loading and unloading of buses.
Parents transporting their chill
dren to school are requested to
stop in front of the old 1912 build
ing or around the corner ON Cen
ter Street. 1t is hoped that
adequate parking facilities will be
available within a month or two
to alleviate this condition.
In other action, the Board ap-
pointed James Hawpe as coach of
the Junior High Football team for
the 1862 season. 1t selected Mrs.
Constance Kirwan for teachers
aide in the elementary school, but
delayed any action ON the selec-
ton of a new secretary until the
September meeting.
