1 PASADENA, Calif. 1/P)—Repre
sentatives of the Pacific Coait con
ference wind up their annual win
ter meeting today and report on
three days’ considerat;on of ath
letic eligibility, football schedules
and a code of ethics framed by the
national collegiate athletic associa
^ tion.
A pattern for the proposed code,
designed to make uniform policies
of scholarships, aid to athletes and
eligibility rules, was drawn by the
NCAA in Chicago last summer.
Grid coaches admittedly tackled
a bigger problem than ever in
mapping 1947 schedules. This was
due to the many intersectional
games booked by the conference
schools next fall.
The faculty section, which con
trols the conference, debated elim
inating the GI eligibility rule Jan.
1. 1948, on the grounds that most
veterans by then would have re
turned to the school of their choice.
If individual instances arise, such
as a hospitalized veteran being de
tained from re-entering college,
his case could be handled separ
ately.
MEW YORK. 1/P)—1The Boston
Yanks who never have been higher
than fourth in their division of the
national football league, will try
to improve their position next sea
son under the coaching of Clipper
Smith . . . The Clipper quit the
University of San Francisco over
a week ago but the Yanks haven’t
made it official because they had
to straighten out Herb Kopf’s con
tract, which still had a couple of
years to go . . . If he’s lucky, Smith
may get Herman Wedemeyer, the
Hawaiian Gael of St. Mary’s, un- i
less the movies get him first. When
he winds up his college career,
Herman will turn to either pro
sports or the films 'which have
been bidding for him' under the
guidance of Ray Carlen, Lou No- (
va’s former manager . . . anyway
he won’t turn Yogi.

Daily Ledger: “Looks as if the
Bowl promoters have messed
things up. Rice should go better in
the raisin bowl, or even the sugar
bowl. They might mix things up
and give us the pudding bowl.”
When the Washington Redskins
lost the eastern (National league)
football title to the Giants last,
Sunday, 26 of their players went
into the game wearing bandages
covering various bumps, bruises,
etc. They acquired a few more
during the game. . . . Allie Stolz,
; who twice fought lor the light
I weight title, opened a laundryette
in New Brunswick, N. J. this week.
At least it’s better than being
taken to the cleaners.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (/P)—Ordin

just that, but not Harry Finne
more, who closed shop eight years
ago after 32 years as a retail gro
cer. To pass the time, he entered
the real estate business and last
year sold 52 houses, an average of
one a week.

New Plane Able To
Fly 1,700 Per Hour
LOS ANGELES, (/P) — A tiny
plane with which the army air
to.ces and Beil Aircraft Corp., its
maker, expect to delve into the
uncnarted realm of supersonic
speed, has successfully completed
its first tests.
The XXS-1, with 23-year-old pi
lot Chalmers <Slick > Goodlin, new
Alexandria, Pa., at the controls,
was cut loose from the belly 01 a
B-29 bomber over Muroc army air
base Monday. Seconds after Amer
ica’s first rocket-propelled plane
dropped away from the big bomb
er, Goodlin turned on the power,
and the craft darted away with a
momentum which the former navy
pilot compared to the thrust from
a catapult aboard a carrier.
The plane is designed to fly at
1,700 miles an hour, but Goodlin
made no attempt to step it up that
high. He loafed along at a mere
550, using first one cylinder, then
two, and finally—for only a few
seconds—all four.
The plane was cut loose at 25,000
feet. Goodlin climbed under his
own power to 35,000, meantime
diving, banking and climbing. He
flew for 19 minutes, not quite
seven under power, and made a
perfect landing with his fuel less
engine idle.
The plane’s power is measured
in terms of thrust, rather than
horsepower, but R. M. Stanley,
Eric, Okla. Bell’s chief engineer
and designer of the plane, said by
the only available means of com
parison, the engine could be said
to develop 30,000 horsepower. It
burns ethyl alcohol, oxidized by
liquid oxygen.
The engine is unbelievably
small to generate such a tremen
dous thrust. Without fuel it weighs
only 210 pounds, and its overall
length is 56 inches. The plane it
self is smaller than the average
fighter, measuring 31 feet from
tail to tip, with a wing span of
only 28 feet.
Army authorities emphasized at
a press conference that the plane,
of almost conventional design, wa.
not designed as a fighter, a bomb
er or any other especial type of
craft. Its mission is purely and
specifically to permit investiga
tion of the supersonic speed
ranges.
