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 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."

Redmond passed much against

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

are expected to be ready for
the Panthers. In the line, end
Tom White has a sore knee
but should be able to play.
Earl Cooper, another end,
chipped a thumb bone and

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. He
felt that the whole town
had been sworn to secrecy
concerning the prowess of
the Marshfield Pirates.
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."
