Columbia Gets Lead On Sceptre in 3rd America's Cup Race By JACK V. FOX Newport, R. I.-CPD-Britain's sloop Sceptre got the whistling winds she wanted today but minutes after the start of the third Americc's Cup race she again was wallowing behind Columbia. It appeared the American boat was going to hand Britain another defeat by a big mar gin. A stiff breeze of 20 knots whipped up whitecaps in six foot waves as Sceptre skipper Graham Mann put his boat across the starting line first, But immediately the Sceptre began to buck up and down like a hobby horse. America's Columbia knifed cleanly through the water and took a lead to windward of four boat-lengths. Six Mile Legs Some yachting observers thought the race was settled in two minutes although it galled for sailing 24 miles on two six-mile legs twice into the wind and twice to leeward An American victory today would put Columbia ahead three races to none and make a clean sweep of four straight most likely. England's Sceptre sailed jauntily, home late Wednes day in the second race of this 107-year-old competition with skipper Graham Mann, friend of Prince Philip, displaying an unmistakeable smile. It must have hurt to grin and bear it for the Sceptre was arriving 11 minutes and 42 seconds after helmsman Briggs Cunningham pulled the Co lumbia express into the stop. Forlorn Sail Sceptre had been just a for lorn sail on the horizon two miles away when the Amer ican boat swept home in the reasonably fast time of 3 hours, 17 minutes and 43 sec onds. It gave America a 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven series. ' - It appeared Britannia had no better chance this time to take back her $500 silver mug than in the 16 previous times when Sir Thomas Lipton and less well-tempered contenders tried and failed. The weather forecast for to day was about the same as Wednesday's-winds of around and above 10 miles per hour. It still wasn't as strong as The true old - Kentucky I There are less expensive ways to make bourbon but they'll never give you the smoothness of Early Times. Slow distilling is the patient, old-style way, the smooth ing way to make whisky. Next time, ask for Early Times. KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKY 86 PROOF EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY COM PANY LOU 1SVILLE 1, KENTUCKY the British say is necessary for their boat to go well and they still cling to hope of a strong wind. Colin Ratsey, spokesman for the British crew, said after Wednesday's race: "We still concede nothing. If we get winds of 15 knots and up and Columbia still wins, then we must admit she is a superior boat." McKittrick Loses Arm Gresham-flJPD-Jerry McKit trick, star basketball and baseball player at Gresham High school who had planned to enroll at Oregon State col lege this fall, was operated on Tuesday for removal of his left arm. McKittrick was discovered to have a malignant tumor in his left arm during a routine physical examination. He hopes to continue his educa tion and enroll at Oregon State next fall.

Redmond passed much against Hermistop. Backs Now Able Fifteen minutes yesterday was devoted to goal line de fense. The second crew, given the ball on the three-yard line failed to score on the regu lars. A bright note for the Com ets is that injured backfield men have recuperated and will be on hand to give Crater depth with a second quartet in that department. Back for duty are Don Gillaspey and Jim Eldred, who have had knee troubles, and Bob Fow ler, who hurt his, hip. Dean Lamp, who had to work last week, is again with the squad. Backs Allen and' Kerman Bennett were sidelined by flu on Monday and Tuesday but are expected to be ready for the Panthers. In the line, end Tom White has a sore knee but should be able to play.

BRILL METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stainless, Galvanized and Copper Fabrication 2287 West Main PHONE SP 2-4440 Fanfare Followers of southern Ore gon junior high school ath letics will note the names of North Grants Pass and South Grants Pass in competition this year. The reason is that a second junior high in the Climate city has opened its doors. Grants Pass fans, who like their teams to be strong at any level of interscholastic competition, may find this division of athletic talent hard to take at first. But they should soon become recon ciled. For opportunity for more boys to play along with the keen competition between the two GP schools should help develop better material for senior high athletics We're certain Grants Pass fans like that idea. Medford's Hedrick ninth grade plays its first two games in football this fall with the two GP schools, meeting North this Friday and South on Oct. 3 with both games at Grants' Pass. HOAX CLAIMED Wayne Scott of the Klam oth Falls Herald and News staff maintains that the whole community of Coos Bay perpetrated a hoax just before the Marshfield Klamath season opener a couple of weeks back.

Questions about the Buc's potential met with much wailing, gnashing of teeth, wringing of hands and reaching for the crying towel, Scott said. The Marshfield went out and walloped KF 47 to 0. The following morning the pretended gloom and dire predicts had been swept away. Scott's comments were aimed at showing the community backing Coos Bay gives its Pirates and he brings out that "a situation like this can help but beget a winning team."
