Hydro Boat
Race Today
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) The
Gold Cup race drivers' commit
tee assured that at least 10 un
limited hydroplanes will com
pete for the coveted trophy here
today when it voted unanimous
ly to let Lt. Col. Russ Schleeh
drive tohe "Rebel Suh."
Earlier, the committee had
ruled that the air force test pilot
was not qualified as a Gold Cup
driver because of "inexper
ience" in competitive hydroplane
racing. Colonel Schleeh has had
most of his speed work as a test
pilot for B-47 and B-52 jet bomb
ers. Slo-Mo-Shun IV, queen of
speedboats and holder of the
world's speed record for propel-
lor-driven watercraft, was Stan
Sayres' only hope to retain the
gold cup. Sayres' two- boat
"navy" which has kept the cup
in Seattle for five years, was
reduced to one Friday when the
defending champion Slo-Mo-Shun
V, flew out of the water and did
a complete backward somersault
during her qualifying trials.
Daredevil Driver Lou Fageol,
president of the Twin Coach Mo
tors Co. of Kent, Ohio, bailed
out just as the craft started to
kite and miraculously lived to
tell about it. Doctors said Kent
suffered a punctured lung on the
left side, broken ribs, and bad
muscular injuries.
Meanwhile, "Gold Cup Fev
er" infected the populace of Seat
tle, swelled by thousands of vis
itors here for "Seafair," a mari
time Mardi Gras. Police estimat
ed that close to 500,000 spectat
ors would watch the race at Lake
Washington. Many thousands
more also will see it on televis
ion. Race officials said more per
sons watched last year's race
than any other single sporting
event in the world.
