But Clell Perry, her driver, came out of’the race with both arms bruised from wrist to elbow from the pounding he had gotten and said he had never| been able to let her out. Perry de- | signed the boat for Herbert Mendel- son of Detroit and she took the water for the first time this vear in Gold Cup competition. He was quoted as believing the position of the motor | would have to be changed to allow the | Notre Dame to show to her best ad- vantage. On one lap she was clocked | at 575 miles per hour. Second in the race was the Jay-Dee, owned and driven by Jack Dunn of | Miami, and third place went to the | Becky, of John M. Rutherford, Port | Washington, Long Island. But little glory in their performance was dim- | med by the Notre Dame and the luckless Hotsy Totsy II Penalized One Lap. The latter, owned by Victor Klies= | rath of South Bend, Ind., beat the gun at the start, and was penalized | accordingly, this necessitating her | making seven laps—17'> miles—as compared to the six of the others. Nothing daunted, Horn was doing | just that thing when trouble overtook him. He had lapped the Jay-Dee and Becky and was giving the Notre Dame all she could handle on a boat-to- boat basis. Right off Highway Bridge, | Horn was making his turn around the outer marker, when the throng on the shore and on the boats scattered over the river saw his boat go up in the air, Then the rescuers crowded around. The Hotsy Totsy II will be back in the race again this afternoon, how- ever, when the final two heats are run At the start of the race a vagrant sailboat veered out on the course in the path of the flyers. Perry, Horn, and Horace Dodge, the Detroit mil- tionaire, in his Impshi, who were head- ing the procession, 'sheared sharply off to keep clear of the tiny craft, which unhurriedly slid on into safer territory. . Oil Line Breaks. The third time around Dodge ran into trouble, a breaking oil line forc- ing him out and bringing the police | boat on the run in his direction as smoke poured from his cockpit. | Two expected contenders in the race | failed to answer the starter's gun.| Overnight, E! Lagarto was scratched | by her owner, George Reis of Boltoni Landing, N. Y., engine trouble briug- | | | | | | | | | ing about the withdrawal. The other absentee was Miss Saranac, owned by Edmond Guggenheim of Columbia Yacht Club; New York. Under the rating system which de- termines the ultimate winner, Notre Dame gets 400 points for her first- heat victory; the Jay-Dee, 300 for second, and Becky, a last-minute en- | try, 225 for third. | One of the two new world records | set during the day came in competi- | tion, while the other, and the three | American records, were produced in | the mile trials for speedsters that were further up the river while the races were under way. Tommy Tyson, Stevens Tech stu- deat, of Chestnut Hill, Pa, sent the | card off to a flying start in the morn- ing by capturing both heats for the class A outhoards, amateur division,| setting & new mark in the first, and | then breaking it in the second. Driv- ing the Half Pint, he was caught at 42.336 miles per hour, and 43.774 for the respective five-mile heats, to bet- ter the mark of 42.734, established recently by Gar Wood, jr., son of the famed Algonac, motor boat racer. Young Wood spent all morning chas- ing Tyson, but the bobbing red jacket of the Michigander never was able to show in frcut. Emancipator IIT Sets Mark. The world mark in the mile trials was made by Emancipator III, owned | by S. M. Auerbach of Atlantic City | and driven by Anthony Pezzillo. Of the 135-cubic inch hydroplane class, | Emancipator III was timed at 53.611 miles per hour, beating her own mark of 50571, set last year. The Emanci- pator III had her trouble later, how- ever, her power plant failing after she had taken the first five-mile heat in | her class race. Victory went to her more consistent kinswoman, Emanci- pator II, which stuck it out for the two heats, to score sufficient points to nose out the Universal Eagle, owned and driven hy Edison Hodges, also of | Atlantic City. The new American records were get by George B. Ward, jr., of Wil-| mington, who drove his class C in- board runabout Hi Ho at 37.344 miles per hour about two miles better than the former mark which he also held; Jack Dunn, the Miamian, with Jay- Dee III, a class E inboard runabout, in which he boosted his own time from 42.775 miles an hour to 45.330, and John Rutherford, with a class H inboard runabout, in which he cut thiough the water at 45.371 miles an hour, replacing W. H. Pippen’s old | mark of 35.93. For the first time, a figure was set for class G inboard runabouts, John H. Shade, jr., of Philadelphia driving the Zippy over the course at 35.725 miles per hour. The mile trials for craft that will vie in the American speedboat cham- pionship this afternoon also produced a performance that may mean a new American mark, depending on whether it is recognized by the American Power Boat Association. At the wheel of the Betty V, Mel- vin Crook of Upper Montclair, N. J. traveled 82.759 miles per hour, about 10 miles better than any American single-engine retord. This however, is far short of the international rec- ord, which is a fraction over 110 miles per hour. The morning races also saw another title decided—high point honors of (8ee REGATTA, Page B-13.) A T | Virginia all were beaten and Alabama, Notre Dame, piloted by Clel Perry with Winton Buick as mechanic, and owned by Herbert Mendelson of Detroiit, as it flashed over the regatta course this afternoon to take the first 15-mile heat of the 45-mile President’s Cup race.

Grid Upsets Common but Alabama’s Deadlock With Howard College Is Biggest Jolt of Day By the Associated Press. HE wooly lambs of intercol- legiate foot ball roared like lions yesterday and cut the! big fellows right down to their \ own size. | Cornell, Illinois, Wisconsin and | Rose Bowl champion, was tied as the 1935 season formally got under way | in spectacular style. Bob Zuppke's Illini, hailed in ad- vance as possible dark-horse con- tenders for the Big Ten crown, fell before a fighting Ohio University out- fit, 6-0, and Wisconsin’s Badgers were upset by South Dakota State, 13-6, in the Midwest’s two big form reversals. Cornell, although threatening often, could not develop a scoring punch and went down before St. Lawrence University of Canton, N. Y., 12-6. ‘The biggest shock of all, however, was the failure of Alabama’s crimson tide to get better than a 7-7 draw with Howard of Birmingham. Miss- ing the scoring punch provided last year by the Dixie Howell-Don Huston combination, the tide found itself held in check by the smaller school's | stalwart defense. Notre Dame, aiming at regaining its former position around the top, trounced Kansas of the Big Six, 28-7, while Minnesota, the Nation’s power- house in 1934, had to turn loose some extra steam in the second half to turn back North Dakota State, 26-6. Nebraska, co-favorite with Kansas State for the Big Six crown this year, whipped Chicago easily, 28-7. In the East only Navy, Colgate, Dartmouth and Villanova lived up to advance notices. Navy thoroughly trounced William and Mary, 30-9, the same margin by which Colgate’s Red Raiders whipped Niagara. Dart- mouth had no uneasy minutes in a 39-0 conauest of Norwich. and Villa- nova battered Ursinus, 31-0. Pitt’s Panthers, however, had trou- ble with Waynesburg, winning only [ Dt 14-0, and Fordham had to score twice in the final quarter to whip Franklin and Marshall, 14-7. West Virginia got no better than a scoreless tie with West Virginia ‘Wesleyan. Among the Southern powers, Duke’s machine rode rough-shod over South Carolina, 47-0, and Clemson spilled Virginia Poly, 28-7, in another South- ern Conference game. Tulane, South- A 8he was driven by Bill Horn, who, with his mechanic, Otto Capra, were speedily rescued. Totsy II had already been disqualified for- beating the starter’s gun. Sl ‘The Hotsy- eastern Conference array, ran over| Virginia Military, 44-0, in an impres- | sive display cf power. Ray Morrison's Vanderbilt outfit | won the only Southeastern Confer- | ence game of the day, a 14-9 victory | over a scrappy Mississippi array. Virginia bowed to little Hampden- | Sidney, 12 to 7. Oklahoma’s Sconers, making their first start under the leadership of | Biff Jones, scored a hard-earned 3-0 triumph over Colorado University. KANSAS CITY *September 28 (A).— Nebraska and Oklahoma proved them- selves worthy challengers today for the Big Six foot ball championship held by Kansas State. Scorning “breather” openers, Ne-| braska trounced Chicago, 28 to 7, and Capt. Lawrence “Biff” Jones' Okla- | homa Sooners defeated Colorado, co- holders of the 193¢ Rocky Mountain title, 3 to 0.

Ky Laf- | foon and Olin Dutra dropped a 1-up fed | decision to Charles and Ernest Whit- combe of Enzland. Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa., ard scowling John Re- volta of Milwaukee shot a 73 in the ! morning and turned 7 up on Alf | Padgham and Percy Allis, finally wine ning by 6 and 5. | Runyan Shows Sand. IMINUTIVE Paul Runyan, who should have been cowed by the | dismal weather if any man was today, | paired with Horton Smith to plaster a 9-to-8 licking on W. J. Cox and E. W. Jarman, turning in the best score for the Americans with a card |2 over par for the 28 holes they | played. Hagen and Sarazen won by | 7 and 6. with three above the rigid | par for Ridgewood at the finish, while | Picard and Revolta did not have to | turn on much steam in their match, winning almost as they pleased with a score 6 over par for 31 holes. There always must be a geat in any big team sporting contest, and Ky Laf« foon is it this year. The swarthy half-Indian stood on the thirty-fourth tee late today with the match in which he and Olin Dutra opposed the | Whitcombe brothers all square. And | then Ky proceeded to belt a tee shot | s0 far into the bushe: at the left that | even big Dutra couldn't whack it out far enough to get home. Ky put a brassie shot short of the goal, while | E. R. Whitcombe stuck his second shot | hole-high, and Dutra then chipped } boldly and well. The ball almost went in, but when Ernie Whitcombe putted down stone-dead, Dutra picked up the British ball and conceded defeat. But there was more to it than that, for at the thirty-fifth it looked as if the Brit= ish were to go dormie 1 down. But from a bunker came Brother Ernie to whack the pill out two feet from the cup for the needed half. That | may have had something to do with | Laffoon’s hooked tee shot at the last | hole. As it was, Laffoon and Dutra | lost the only match dropped by Amere ica in the opening joust. - Tradition Is Maintained. OTH nations have won two matches in the series for the cup put up | by Samuel W. Ryder back in 1928. | The Americans won at Columbus in 1931 and at Worcester in 1929, while the British won in 1932 and 1933 in England. So far the matches have been won uniformly by the team play- ing in its own country, and the cur- | rent series seems destined to go that way again, for a victory today will give | America the edge. If you listen to Robert Harlow, ro- tund booster for American pro golf, you wouldn't think the Americans | could be licked anywhere, but the rec- ord proves that that is not true. The British are sturdy lads on their home grounds, but they don't do so well abroad—meaning in America, but even the deepest-dyed Briton couldn’t have found anything wrong with conditions today. A typical Scottish mist shrouded the Jersey countryside almost from the time the first ball was hit, and all through the long day the rival pros sloshed and slugged over soggy fair- ways and heavy putting greens. “These matches prove again that the American professional is the most | finished golfer in the world,” Harlow | said. Conditions Bad. Il’ THEY prove anything, they prove that Britons won't. play smart golf under bad conditions. Where the Americans were closing the blades of their iron clubs and chipping the ball with a little run the British were opening the faces of their pitching tools and fading the ball off the slip- pery clubfaces into the bunkers at the right. They almost wore out their niblicks and their newly acquired sand wedges, an American innovation which they have been slow to accept. But good' as they are they couldn't make up for missed pitches and bad shots against the smart play of the Americans. It was quite noticeable over the soggy greens at Ridgewood today that the Americans were closer to the pin with their pitches and their chips, leaving them comparatively little to do with the putter, while the Britons were striving to get those lengthy ap- proach putts dead or lay & wedge shot close enough to hole the putt. If bad weather comes again tomor- row America's professional brethren may collect as many as six of the eight points in the man-to-man singles play, handing dear old Albion the fanciest licking she ever has takenw’ in this series.
