When the Russians made their

camped in a separate village
eight miles from the other com
petitors. But this time they
agreed to mix with all other na
tions in the main village.
The Soviet team is expected

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.
The exhibition will feature the
personal appearance of Bill
Closs, one of the southwest's top
basketball stars.
Ashland High school gymna
sium will be the scene of the
activity scheduled to start at
7:30 p.m. There will be no
charge for admission.
Closs, who made the Helms
AU-American team in 1943 while
at Rice Institute, is now on the
Converse Rubber company's spe
cial basketball staff. He will
demonstrate and explain basket
shooting in detail along with
passing, dribbling, pivoting, of
fense and defense. The expert
will speak on rules and answer
question on rule interpretations.
Sole purpose of the exhibition
is to promote more interest in
basketball to simplify teaching
methods so that younger play
ers, as well as seasoned veterans
can derive the most out of the
game.
Close will stick to fundamen
tals. His exhibition does not in
terfere with coaching systems.
Francis Makes
Wrestling Debut
At Grants Pass
Gentleman Ed Francis will
make his initial Grants Pass
wresling appearance here this
Wednesday night when he
tangles with dashing Red Bas
tien in the main event of an
attractive card.
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. Fletcher is expected
to have his hands full in getting
another win streak started.
Fletcher is tricky with a jack
knife pin hold.
Matches will get underway at
8:30 p.m.
German Boxer's
Elbow Healed
Chicago U.R) Willi Hoepner,
a Hamburg, Germany light
heavyweight, was notified today

Wednesday but the bout was
postponed due to his injury until
Nov. 28 in Milwaukee.

Forest Grove (U.R) Gene
Manley's extra point gave Lin

"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

18, Salem, were apprehended by
Albany city police and state po
lice later captured 19-year-old

where a former girl friend of
Davidson's lived. Kenneth

girl friend.
Jail Escapee Hunted
In Central Oregon
Prineville U.R) Law en
forcement agencies in central
Oregon continued their search
today for a 29-year-old Toppe
nish, Wash., man who broke out
of the Crook county jail here
Sunday night.
Roy Stinehard, being held on
a break-in and robbery charge,
fled the jail some time during
the night, Sheriff Jesse Wool
ridge reported.
Woolridge said that wood sliv
ers around the jail door and in
the lock indicated that Stine
hard might have fashioned a key
from a piece of wood to make
his escape. The same method
was employed by a group of
prisoners here several years ago
when they fled the same jail.

Now the nose has radar eyes"
Several years ago United Air Lines foresaw the need for wwther
mapping radar to enable our pilots to "see" through cloudy skies
as much as 150 miles ahead, and select the smoothest course.
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.
