The Canadian champion went on to defend the Harms worth Trophy for Canada, establishing world record com petition times. It was not the thrilling race predicted due to the fact Cantrell's "Gale V" failed to start. A dead battery proved Cantrell's undoing. He stood in his craft at the pit wharf with his helmet and lifejacket off feverishly attempting to start the boat as the minute hand ticked off the seconds. As the three remaining com petitors passed the 500 yard buoy at the start, "Nitrogen" and "Nitrogen Too," both owned by Sam DuPont of Wilmington, Del., broke well in the lead. The DuPont boats crossed the line together at the start ing gun boomed over the water. "Supertest" followed with a terrific burst of speed, eventually catching and pass ing the DuPonts. . . "Supertest's" average speed for the 45-miles was 115.48 mph, with a total elapsed time of 23 minutes, 22.8 seconds. Her fastest lap was the second, when Hayward averagea 126.22 mph, to break Friday's lap record of 124.82. Spitting fire and dark smoke on the south end of the Long Beach course, "Nitro gen Too" conked and failed to finish. Miss Supertest's" only surviving rival was "Nitrogen," which Hayward left far behind. At the end of the race, the sleek Canadian beauty was 2V4 miles ahead.

Russian Five Gives U.S. Competition Rome-WPU-Russian basket ball coach Nikolai Semashko promised "real competition" Saturday to the U.S. stars his team expects to battle for a gold medal. "I don't know if we can win," Semashko told United Press International. "We have caught up with the U. S. team in tactics but they are still superior in technique. "But we'll give them a hard fight-that I can prom ise." The Russian cagers' who have head U. S. basketball coach Pete Newell frankly worried, spent the afternoon lolling around listening to Italian and U. S. jazz over the radio. Six Feet and Over Tomorrow Semashko is taking his agile giants-five of them are more than six feet, eight inches tall and one is seven-feet-two-to the little stadium for a warm-up ses sion. Yankee spies can be ex pected to be watching. The U. S. basketball team is rated among the best ever; but Newell doesn't think victory is a sure thing. He has admitted that he is worried about the Russians and the Brazilians, in that order. , "The Russians are very well organized and disci plined," Newell said at West Point, N.Y., before leaving for the Olympics. "Their coaching is excellent. They are very sound on defense and have a good passing game." Learned From Americans Semashko, a big, friendly man with steel grey hair blowing back over a weather beaten face, indicated that whatever the Russian basket ballers have learned they have learned from the Ameri cans. "Basketball was born in the United States," he said. "We've been trying hard . to come up to their level but they start with one natural advantage. "U.S. kids start playing basketball much earlier than ours do and they play more of it. As a result there is a lot more team material to pick from. "At the 1952 and 1956 Olympics we didn't stand a chance against the American national basketball teamf-but In s time we nave everyiea,- son to expect to offec.ieal competition. , i " " y. j '! '.
