ATCHISON ' ®The old slogan, “Join the Navy And See the World,” holds no ¦.Enchantment for a fellow who’s •Jbeen around with the Redskins Jit Is a wonderful, if at times "trying education in social sci- ence. One meets so many in- teresting persons, gets to see so itoany inspiring sights and live In style once reserved for only ¦ the very wealthy. Some training trips were dizzy junkets, but none held quite as much promise as the one ap- proaching, which will wind up in a two-week stay at that new .’.motel near Rockville, which the ¦ press, radio and TV corps toured yesterday. The itinerary is one to excite even the interest of such a veteran traveler as George Marshall, who knows every rail- road timetable, every donkey trail by heart. This year the Redskins will train again at Occidental Col- lege, a Presbyterian institution in Los Angeles; live at Sonoma Mission Inn near San Francisco; at Little Rock, Ark., they will eat at Hank’s Doghouse; at Wins- ton-Salem dine at a Baptist Hos- pital cafeteria managed by a Catholic, and round out the pre- season work at one of the plush- est roadside bivouacs in the country. ii One got the idea yesterday, 1 ; in looking over the Rockville i plant in which Sam Eig and John McKeever have a joint in- [ terest, that the Redskins will be i transported to and from their specially-built practice field on i private pink clouds, lunch on pheasant under glass and cham- pagne, and munch four-pound filet mignons for dinner. It would m be quite a life, if Coach Joe Kuharich didn’t have otherJ plans. ** ** One year the Redskins stopped at Chicago's swank Ambassador East, with its even swanker Pump Room. In this eatery the waiters are disguised as ambassadors, the, bus boys as Far Eastern poten-; tates, and the food is paraded to the table on a flaming sword It was in this room that the late Jack Miley, shackled by no in- hibitions, saw the sword go by. Assured that all the food was served in that manner, he got a mischievous look in his eye. “I’ll have scrambled eggs,” he told the waiter, “and lemme see you carry them on that s%&(’ %* sword.” Some of the Redskins' trips were made under abominable conditions. Heading west the air r conditioning invariably broke i down in one of their cars, or the: . train would develop a “hot box” ’out in .he desert, and the ath-| letes would sit around in shorts; > and suffer in silence. It was only a few years ago;! at Amarillo, Texas, that the team i had to live in its Pullman cars ! several days because all available . space in the town’s one hotel ' had been taken over by a Shrin-;; ' ers convention. The Pullmans |, i were parked out in the yard, l 100 yards or so from the station, i and one unfortunate sports 1 writer’s feet were so badly ¦ bruised from jumping off the car , Ito the roadbed he couldn’t 1 dance for weeks. ' It was here, with the ther- ' mometer pushing 100, that Gene ¦ Pepper looked out of his window : and spie' a cool-looking, empty box car on a neighboring track. ; 1 Pepper took his pillow and sheet, , and in the soft Texas moonlight : i took up residence in the last of a 13-car string. Next morning ; 12 cars had been hauled away,; but Gene was left sleeping bliss- fully unaware of near-disaster. ** ** The Redskins have been around, as the saying goes, and Marshall long ago discovered 1 that it pays to go first class. At Colorado Springs, San Francisco, New York, you name the town, GPM insists on the best for his men. The best, that is, if the ¦'little opes—and the big ones— , are out of harm's way. Several ] times changes were necessary to get a little peace and quiet. In- frequently, the Redskins con-j tributed to the roistering, but, | that, of course, was in the good ] ¦ old days. I At Rockville the squad will be ' quiet, polite and even reserved. 1 , [lf Coach Kuharich doesn’t alter his plans, the boys will be too . I tired to raise a rumpus. ] ; Eight Races Slated I On Motorcycle Card An eight-race motorcycle card twill be presented by the Land and Sea Sportsmen's Club Sun- day afternoon at Vista Speedway, ¦ located at the intersection of De- fense and Palmer highways. > Trials are scheduled for 1 o’clock, t The top five entrants will be Billy Tyler, Reno Coletti, Jimmy s Brent, Bobby Mitchell and s "Chapel Oaks” Hawk. Other riders expected to en- ter include Dan Dupree, Floyd i Joy, Jim Johnson, Blackie Black- ! stone, Harvey Bigelow and Billy r Bell. j DELAWARE NOTES By JOSEPH B.

The 33-year-old Warmington, No. 2 driver in the Circuit of Speed's point standings last [year, will drive a 1956 Cadillac [convertible. Despite the "big [car” he drives, Warmington re- portedly has finished in the money in every race he has en- tered this season. Two others who rate highly are Lennie Justa of Fort Myers, Fla., and Len Page of Black Rock. N. Y. Justa, the circuit’s point scoring champion last year, will make his bid for vic- tory in a 1956 Ford. Also driving a Ford, a 1955 model, will be Wally Gore of Arlington, winner of the last four features at the Manassas track. Gore, Old Dominion Stock Car Club champion last year, is the current pace setter. 1 1 Meeting Opens j At Monmouth i > j '! OCEANPORT, N. J.. June 12 (/P). —The Oceanport Handicap, ' 1 feature of today’s opening-day ' ¦ program at Monmouth Park, has ' . been split into two divisions be- ( cause it attracted 21 sprinters, headed by River Divide Farm's 1 1 Decathlon and Brookfield Farm’s ; Impromptu.

Hambletonian Candidates In Laurel Trot Tonight There is a chance that fans attending Laurel Raceway to- night will get a look at the fu- ture winner of the SIOO,OOO Hambletonian. Some outstanding candidates for the “Kentucky Derby” of the harness racing world will be in a 10-horse field in the $3,000 Sykesville Trot. Best bet among the promising 3-year-olds is Valiant Rodney, owned by Mrs. David Johnston of Charlotte, N. C. A winner at Rosecroft in 2:O7Vs, Valiant Rodney will be driven by Dana Cameron and is i expected to get off at about 3- to-1. j Magnus Hanover, son of the ¦great Hoot Mon and winner oh Costa to Fight Chestnut Here I : Carmelo Costa of Brooklyn, rated fourth among challengers for Sandy Saddler’s feather- weight title, has been signed by Promoter Goldie Ahearn for a televised fight at Capitol Arena June 27. His opponent in the 10- rounder for the ABC network will be Ike Chestnut of New I York. Part of the proceeds of the fight will go to the Clark Griffith Memorial Fund being raised by the Home Plate Club. Both Costa and Chestnut have lost split decisions this year to Cherif Hamia, the French cham- pion and No. 3 contender for the title. Chestnut’s bout with Hamia was staged here at Uline Arena last month and was a close, good fight all the way. Chestnut, in fact, stood up so well against the French cham- pion that he was given an ova- tion from the crowd at the end, and Ahearn promised him at the time to bring him back to Washington at the first oppor- tunity. Chestnut and Costa have met twice before, once as amateurs with Chestnut winning and again as pros with Costa the winner Driver Breaks Leg In Trotter Mishap SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y„ June 12 (iP).—Howard Parker. 52-year-old Saratoga Springs aarness racing driver, suffered a broken left leg last night in a three-horse accident at Saratoga Raceway. The mishap occurred after Lassie Little, driven by Robert! Bennett, apparently broke stride going into the lower turn past the half. Signal Key, with Parker at the reins, and Barbie, driven by Wilford Evans, went into Lassie Little's sulky. Parker, who was thrown to the ; track, was taken to Saratoga Hospital. Bennett suffered a scraped right knee. i $23,861 as a 2-year-old, is an- ¦ other worth watching. He’ll be ¦ driven by his trainer, Ralph 1 I Baldwin, for Two Gaits Farm. Steady Hanover, Tom Acker- i man's Esquire Hanover, Add * Hanover and Homestretch Harvy i are others deserving considera- . i tion. Meanwhile, Queen’s Knight i definitely has established himself as a top prospect for the $65,000 , Little Brown Jug, the pacing i version of the Hambletonian. In 1 the $3,000 Homewood for 3-year- i old pacers, last night’s feature, j ¦ Queen’s Knight added to his sum of $33,000 in earnings by taking 1 : first money over Ash Walnut. ' [iFrankford was third.

SC to Enter NCAA Playotfs ' VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June ‘l2 (A 3 ).—The Southern Confer- -1 ence will make “every effort" in the future to send a team into ' all NCAA playoffs despite NCAA ] eligibility rules which might . ruin the team's championship chances. Athletic directors of the con- | ference agreed with Wallace , Wade, league commissioner, here > yesterday that representation in ¦ he playoffs is desirable to pro- -1 tect the circuit’s relations with the national body. , Since the Southern Conference I allows four years of varsity ath- letic eligibility and the NCAA . limits eligibility to three years, l conference contestants in NCAA ' playoffs often must enter wlth- out numerous key players. -; This situation resulted this spring in failure of the confer- ence to send a team into the NCAA baseball playoffs. George Washington’s league champions. West Virginia and Richmond r successively turned down chances ¦ to compete in the playoffs be- ; cause of the ineligibility of im- -1 portant personnel. Virginia Tech i couldn’t accept an invitation . because of examinatons. ‘ [ At yesterday’s meetng of con- I ference athletic directors here, >;Wade indicated he was “dis- . turbed” at the prospect of trou- ¦ ble with the NCAA if the con- ference goes often without representation in playoffs. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June,] 12 (A 3 ). —The fadeout of Ameri-!| can riders in the dressage sec-!, tion of the Olympic three-day , trial was completed today when Walter Staley of Mexico, Mo., ran up the most penalty points iof any rider this far in the [games. ! Staley’s 182 penalty points j coupled with the 155.6 suffered 1 yesterday by Maj. Jonathon R. [Burton of Berwyn, 111. And the 1 162.4 by Frank Duffy of Birm- ] ingham, Mich., assured the f United States of either last place or next to last in the team com- ' petition for the dressage section. Great Britain and Germany 1 are far in front among the 19 nations competeing in this par- 1 ticular event. ' ( British Lead j Col. Weldon, riding Kilbarry. \ had 103.2 penalty points and Bertie Hill, aboard Queen Eliza- beth's horse. Countryman Hl,'] had 108.4 as Britain took thej] lead i nthe Dressage section of; 1 Britain’s team led with 3.13.2; penalty points, and Germany was second with 330.4. The: The points do not become official until the end of a one-hour pro- j test period. Queen Elizabeth and the Duke . of Edinburgh were among the; crowd of more than 10,000 in 1 .the stands. Otto Rothe of Germany on Sissi led yestrday after the open- 1 ing competition with 98.4 pen-; alty points, and today August j s Lutkewestheus, with Trux von i Kamax, suffered 129.6 penalty c points. ij France Disqualifieed j Guy Lefrant of France arrived i a half hour late and was disqual- ; ified. This also disqualifies his ' team in the trials. 1 James Elder of Canada, riding , Colleen, scored 142.2 penalty points. , The flop of the Americans ( started from a high place. Four years ago at Helsinki ( in the Olympic Games the Amer- ican team was third in Three- i Day trials and eight years ago i at London the Americans were i first. The endurance section of the Three-Day will be tomorrow! with the jumping Thursday.;! However, America’s bad marks ] ihere today and yesterday make [them almost a dead certainty to ' finish very low in the overall ' [Three-Day trial. J Americans Far Down Americans were far down onjj the list after the opening day,; j in 27th and 28th place in a | field of 30. L The results led to the inevita- j ble question: Why are the Euro-!< peans so good and the Americans j| so poor? I, Billy Steinkraus, the 30-year- ] old unofficial spokesman for the[] United States team, thinks he , has the answer. He watched the j crowds pour into the stands be- ] fore the second section of to- ( day's dressage tests of the three- day event and observed: ] “Big crowds turn up regularly for horse shows all over Europe. , It all adds up to mounting pres- 1 , itige for the shows, better sta-j, diums and consequently a higher standard among European | riders." New Woodbine Opens Today TORONTO, June 12 (/?). ] North America’s newest race ] track the sl3 million New! Woodbine—opens this afternoon. There will be bands, both pipe ' and brass, an official flag raising , [and an official tape-cutting cere- i mony, with E. P. Taylor, presi- 11 dent of the Ontario Jockey Club, 1 * handing the shears to Premier Frost of Ontario. Most important to racing fans, will be the running of the Quen’s! Plate Trial, with the Plate itself, June 16. Set on 780 acres of pastureland near Malton Airport, northwest of Toronto, the entire plant com- prises a four-tiered, escalator- connected, red-brick grandstand seating 6,223, a clubhouse with room for 2,528. and standing room for 20,000 more on the apron in front of the stands.

¦kATCHISON'S „A !? ANGLE .

: §|fi!By LEWIS F. ATCHISON '

®The old slogan, “Join the NavyAnd See the World,” holds no¦.Enchantment for a fellow who’s

•Jbeen around with the RedskinsJit Is a wonderful, if at times"trying education in social sci-ence. One meets so many in-teresting persons, gets to see so

itoany inspiring sights and liveIn style once reserved for only

¦ the very wealthy.Some training trips were dizzy

junkets, but none held quite asmuch promise as the one ap-proaching, which will wind up ina two-week stay at that new

.’.motel near Rockville, which the¦ press, radio and TV corps touredyesterday. The itinerary is oneto excite even the interest ofsuch a veteran traveler as GeorgeMarshall, who knows every rail-road timetable, every donkeytrail by heart.

This year the Redskins willtrain again at Occidental Col-lege, a Presbyterian institutionin Los Angeles; live at SonomaMission Inn near San Francisco;at Little Rock, Ark., they will eatat Hank’s Doghouse; at Wins-ton-Salem dine at a Baptist Hos-pital cafeteria managed by aCatholic, and round out the pre-season work at one of the plush-est roadside bivouacs in thecountry. ii

One got the idea yesterday, 1;in looking over the Rockville iplant in which Sam Eig andJohn McKeever have a joint in- [terest, that the Redskins will be itransported to and from theirspecially-built practice field on iprivate pink clouds, lunch onpheasant under glass and cham-pagne, and munch four-poundfilet mignons for dinner. It would mbe quite a life, if Coach JoeKuharich didn’t have otherJplans.

** * *

One year the Redskins stoppedat Chicago's swank AmbassadorEast, with its even swanker PumpRoom. In this eatery the waitersare disguised as ambassadors, the,bus boys as Far Eastern poten-;tates, and the food is paraded tothe table on a flaming swordItwas in this room that the lateJack Miley, shackled by no in-hibitions, saw the sword go by.Assured that all the food wasserved in that manner, he got amischievous look in his eye.

“I’llhave scrambled eggs,” hetold the waiter, “and lemme seeyou carry them on that s%&(’%* sword.”

Some of the Redskins' tripswere made under abominableconditions. Heading west the air

r conditioning invariably brokei down in one of their cars, or the:. train would develop a “hot box”’out in .he desert, and the ath-|letes would sit around in shorts;

> and suffer in silence.It was only a few years ago;!

• at Amarillo, Texas, that the teami had to live in its Pullman cars! several days because all available .

’ space in the town’s one hotel 'had been taken over by a Shrin-;;

' ers convention. The Pullmans |,i were parked out in the yard, l100 yards or so from the station,

i and one unfortunate sports

1 writer’s feet were so badly¦ bruised from jumping off the car ,Ito the roadbed he couldn’t

1 dance for weeks.' It was here, with the ther-' mometer pushing 100, that Gene ¦Pepper looked out of his window :and spie' a cool-looking, emptybox car on a neighboring track. ;

1 Pepper took his pillow and sheet, ,and in the soft Texas moonlight :

i took up residence in the last ofa 13-car string. Next morning ;12 cars had been hauled away,;but Gene was left sleeping bliss-fully unaware of near-disaster.

** * *

The Redskins have beenaround, as the saying goes, andMarshall long ago discovered

1 that it pays to go first class. AtColorado Springs, San Francisco,New York, you name the town,GPM insists on the best for hismen. The best, that is, if the¦'little opes—and the big ones— ,are out of harm's way. Several ]times changes were necessary toget a little peace and quiet. In-frequently, the Redskins con-jtributed to the roistering, but,

| that, of course, was in the good ]¦ old days.I At Rockville the squad will be 'quiet, polite and even reserved. 1,[lf Coach Kuharich doesn’t alterhis plans, the boys will be too .

I tired to raise a rumpus. ]

Best race on today's card hereis the $4,000 Tangled Purse Inwhich Ella K. Bryson's KlndaSmart, a 46-to-l winner lastweek, will try to prove that was;not a mere flash of his 2-year-old form which escaped him last!season.

SC to EnterNCAA Playotfs

' VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June‘l2 (A3).—The Southern Confer-

-1 ence will make “every effort" inthe future to send a team into

' all NCAA playoffs despite NCAA] eligibility rules which might

. ruin the team's championship

chances.Athletic directors of the con-

| ference agreed with Wallace, Wade, league commissioner, here> yesterday that representation in

¦ he playoffs is desirable to pro--1 tect the circuit’s relations with

’ the national body.

, Since the Southern ConferenceI allows four years of varsity ath-letic eligibility and the NCAA

. limits eligibility to three years,

l conference contestants in NCAA' playoffs often must enter wlth-

’ out numerous key players.

-; This situation resulted thisspring in failure of the confer-ence to send a team into theNCAA baseball playoffs. GeorgeWashington’s league champions.West Virginia and Richmond

r successively turned down chances¦ to compete in the playoffs be-

; cause of the ineligibility of im--1 portant personnel. Virginia Techi couldn’t accept an invitation. because of examinatons.

‘ [ At yesterday’s meetng of con-I ference athletic directors here,>;Wade indicated he was “dis-. turbed” at the prospect of trou-¦ ble with the NCAA if the con-ference goes often withoutrepresentation in playoffs.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June,]12 (A 3).—The fadeout of Ameri-!|can riders in the dressage sec-!,tion of the Olympic three-day ,trial was completed today whenWalter Staley of Mexico, Mo.,ran up the most penalty pointsiof any rider this far in the[games.

! Staley’s 182 penalty points jcoupled with the 155.6 suffered 1yesterday by Maj. Jonathon R.[Burton of Berwyn, 111. And the 1162.4 by Frank Duffy of Birm- ]ingham, Mich., assured the fUnited States of either last placeor next to last in the team com- 'petition for the dressage section.

Great Britain and Germany 1are far in front among the 19 ‘nations competeing in this par- 1ticular event. '

(

British Lead

j Col. Weldon, riding Kilbarry. \had 103.2 penalty points and •Bertie Hill, aboard Queen Eliza-beth's horse. Countryman Hl,']had 108.4 as Britain took thej]lead i nthe Dressage section of; 1Britain’s team led with 3.13.2;penalty points, and Germany

was second with 330.4. The:The points do not become officialuntil the end of a one-hour pro- jtest period.

Queen Elizabeth and the Duke .of Edinburgh were among the;crowd of more than 10,000 in 1.the stands.

Otto Rothe of Germany onSissi led yestrday after the open- 1ing competition with 98.4 pen-;alty points, and today August jsLutkewestheus, with Trux von iKamax, suffered 129.6 penalty cpoints. ij

France Disqualifieed jGuy Lefrant of France arrived

ia half hour late and was disqual- ;ified. This also disqualifies his 'team in the trials. 1

James Elder of Canada, riding ,Colleen, scored 142.2 penaltypoints. ,

The flop of the Americans (started from a high place.

Four years ago at Helsinki (in the Olympic Games the Amer- •ican team was third in Three- iDay trials and eight years ago iat London the Americans were ifirst.

The endurance section of the ’Three-Day will be tomorrow!with the jumping Thursday.;!However, America’s bad marks ]

ihere today and yesterday make[them almost a dead certainty to 'finish very low in the overall '[Three-Day trial.

JAmericans Far Down

Americans were far down onjjthe list after the opening day,; jin 27th and 28th place in a |field of 30. L

The results led to the inevita- jble question: Why are the Euro-!<peans so good and the Americans j|so poor? I,

Billy Steinkraus, the 30-year- ]old unofficial spokesman for the[]United States team, thinks he ,has the answer. He watched the jcrowds pour into the stands be- ]fore the second section of to- (day's dressage tests of the three-day event and observed: ]

“Big crowds turn up regularlyfor horse shows all over Europe. ,It all adds up to mounting pres- 1 ,itige for the shows, better sta-j,diums and consequently a higherstandard among European

|riders."
