Vier EARN FBOM THE ii f & ICX ASSOCIATION Ex-Olympic Swimmer Predicts Records Break With Less Suit By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer Aboard S. S. Mariposa (U.R) Duke Kahanamoka, one of the greatest aquatic stars the world has ever known, said to day that if the Olympic swim mers were allowed to compete without bathing suits they would crack every record on the books. The Duke didn't propose that the good Olympic fathers should follow the idea, but he did say the less swimming suit a person wears the faster the speed re corded, and that the Bikini-type suits now worn by the men had lot to do with cracking the old records. "When I was swimming in the 1912 Olympics," said the Duke, "we were forced to wear Hoop Clinic At Ashland On Thursday Ashland Coaches of the area have been invited to bring their players to a basketball clinic here Thursday, Nov. 8.

Francis formerly held the world junior heavy champion ship, belt put up by the NWA but got so heavy that he had to get into bigger class. He is rated as better than Leo Wallick or any of the past greats. His pet hold is the deadly su plex Greco Roman back drop and he grew up and learned his wrestling in Chicago. Francis is big at 215 pounds and knows his way around a wrestling mat. Tough Opposition He will meet seme real tough opposition in the person of Ba stion. Red refeated Bill Fletcher last week to break his win streak and is well liked here for his colorful dashing style and his fiery disposition when aroused. His pet weapon is the corkscrew toe hold and he is given an even chance of up setting the champion. This is rated potentially the finest match of the fall season. Lee Wong, sensational orien tal matman, will make his debut here against popular Fletcher. Wong is a well built fast mov ing boy well versed in judo and jiu jitsu.

"I recall when we were kids around Honolulu, we used to swim in the ocean without any suits and we always could go much faster. The silver-haired sheriff of the island of Oahu is up for re election this year, but while the rest of the nation's politicians are sweating out the results to day, Duke is on a South Seas cruise off the coast of Tahiti. The Duke has no worries. He is held in such high esteem by the good people of Honolulu that just putting his name n the ballot is tantamount to election. The reason for this trip is to see the Olympics in Melbourne, his first visit to an Olympic games since the Los Angeles show in 1932 when at the ripe age of 42 he was a member of the U. S. water polo team. Now a silver-thatched 66, the Duke looks 20 years younger and still tias a keen interest in sports of all sorts. "Improving swimming facili ties, better teaching and better equipment have resulted in all the old records being smashed in recent years," he says. Dallas Escapees Returned To Cells Dallas, Ore.

United joined with RCA in a series of tests that led to the dev8-o opment of such an airborne radar device. Now, United, the first airline to order rada? for its entire fleet, has completed installation in Mainliner Convairs-the planused exclusively by United in serving this city. o Benefits for you include smoother, more comfortable flights and even greater on-time dependability. Eventually all United Main-liners-DC-7, DC-6 and DC-6Bs-will be equipped with this new radar device. Total cost will come to over $4,000,000. Weather-mapping radar has been called one of the greatest f , all technological advances in air transportation. It's one of $e many reasons why the word Mainliner means quality travel.
