Best Boating Season
In Six Years Is Seen
For D. C. Skippers
By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.
Unmoved ?by a late spring, Wash
ington yachtsmen are getting ready
for what the experts say will be
the biggest boating season In at
least six years.
Interest In all phases of yachting
and all types of craft is enormous,
according to the boating industry
here. There had been some doubt
that the white heat of interest dis
played at last January's motor boat
«how In New York would be main
tained.
The manufacturers now say that,
barring *\ recession in business
generally, there is no reason why it
should not keep up.
Orders for new boats are far
ahead of deliveries, dealers report.
Some prospective yachtsmen ac
cordingly may not get afloat for
months. Oldtlmers who may be
tempted to sell their craft In the
present high market are reluctant
to do so because of the steep re
placement cost, one water-front
observer reports
Meanwhile, local yacht clubs are
beginning to stir as members throw
back winter covers and begin annual
fltting-out operations.
Commodore C. C. Jadwin of Co
rinthian Yacht Club reports the
club railway has been rebuilt com
pletely and is ready to haul mem
bers' boats. The club also is going
to have a .flag pole on the club
lawn—the first In many years.
Dedication ceremonies are being
considered for later this spring.
Commodore Earl Baker of Capital
Yacht Club predicts a bu*y season
for members. He says the club will
have several new boats added to its
already large fleet.
Potomac River Sailing Association
members, always out early, are get»
ting ready for the opening of their
spring series.
Commodore George Dankers an
nounced yesterday that a 12-race
series will begin May 4 and continue
through June IS. The traditional
warmup race will be held April 27
and the Gunston Cove regatta over
May 30. All series events will be
held on the Potomac off Hains
Point.
Dankers anticipates a big turnout
and says the season looks "better
than ever."
A full calendar of Chesapeake
Bay events is in prospect for local
sailors, once they finish racing here.
Two major yachting events prom
ise to attract much attention this
year. One is the ocean race from
Newport. R. Ï., to Annapolis, spon
sored by the New York Yacht Club,
Annapolis Yacht Club and the
Naval Academy Yacht Squadron.
It begins June 21.
The other is the Gold Cup race
August 10. on Jamaica Bay, Long
Island. Band Leader Guy Lom
bardo will-defend his title won last
year at Detroit.
Washington again will be hast to
outstanding drivers of the country
at next September's President's Cup
Regatta.
Member-Guest Tourney
Starts Golf at Manor
The Manor Country Club Women's
Golf Committee will open its season
on Tesduay with a member-and
guest tournament at 18 holes, Chair
man Mrs. John R. Daily announced.
The committee will hold a meet
ing Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock
at the club, according to Mrs. J. V.
Brownell. publicity chairman.

Terps' Nine Scores for Shipley
As He Quits Basket Coaching
Maryland's baseball team helped]
Burt Shipley celebrate his résigna-'
tion as basket ball coach by coming;
from behind to nip Dartmouth, 7-4,1
on a heavy field yesterday at College
Park. Shipley's action in surrender
ing the basket ball reins, a decision
he made over a year ago, was reluc
tantly accepted by Director of Ath
letics Jim Tatum.
Tatum, in New York on a com
bination good-will and business trip,
was aware of Shipley's intention and
already has a successor picked out.
Maryland officials said his identity
might be revealed by Sunday.
Shipley has no regrets in giving
up basket ball and most assuredly
didn't seem gloomy as Outfielder
Stuffy Evans paced his mates to vic
tory over the Indians with a 3-run
rally in the seventh. Evans clouted
a single and double and climaxed
the seventh inning uprising by steal
ing home. Baseball has been
Shipley's game first and last and the
helter-skelter modern brand of bas
ket ball was not to his liking.
Maryland, tuning up for today's

Fletcher expects to have all 1*3

The herring also are on the run

Terps' Lacrosse Class
Not Established by
Rout of Harvard
Although Harvard displayed a
more ruggey defense than any
previous lacrosse team from "the
Squayah," Maryland's Coach Jack
Taber isnt ready to award his boys
the national title on the .strength
of their 15-2 victory over the Crim
son yesterday at College Park.
"I'll know more about it after the
Duke match at Durham tomorrow,"
he said today, just before the team's
caravan set out for the scene of bat
tle. "We made enough mistakes
yesterday to lose 10 matches simply
because of inexperience, but there
were some bright spots in our work.
But Duke will be more of a test and
IU settle for a one-goal victory."
- Jiles Freeman, speedy six-footer,
paced the Terp attack against Har
vard with four points. He twisted
and dodged through the Crimson's
burly defense for three unassisted
goals and played a bang-up defen
sive game himself. Tom Hoffecker
stood out àt goal and Rookie Char
ley Herbert showed enough to mark
him as a potential star.
Harvard's attack was inept. At
one time the New Englanders had
the ball in Maryland territory with
three Terps sidelined by penalties
and still couldn't score.
Harvard is due for another wal
loping today at Navy, which tuned
up by trouncing Dartmouth, 19-5,
yesterday far it· oecond straight
win.
