6th annual canoe race A day for winners By JOHN FADDOUL Leader Staf Reporter It was a day for winners both on and off the water, for two persons who thought they had won, and for those who had to settle for second through fifth as the Pontiac Sportsmen's Club held the Sixth Annual Vermilion River canoe race Sunday. Besides the winning canoeists, the club won with "by far the best race" in the event's history, with a record 265 entries and also its largest financial profit, according to dub president Richard Schwahn, who also lauded William Hoggins' work in running the event. The two who thought they had won were Steve Durham and Terry Christopher, both of Pontiac. Because Durham had to. play in a doubleheader baseball game in Streator later in the day, race officials allowed to the team to run the course beginning at 9 a.m.

They finished in 1:45.46 in the cruising Junior Men's Division, the fastest time in that category. But an out-of-state team protested. Since the canoeing rules governing the event provide that all races must be run under the same water conditions, race officials had no choice but to disallow the first- place prize Durham and Christopher thought they had won. Following are the final results of Sunday's marathon races: Scouts (12-15) Won by Christopher and Jeffrey Finnell, Montgomery, 2nd, Carl Batson and Bob Malinowski, New Lenox, 3rd, Rick Boulais and Tim Peck, Pontiac, 4th, Dave Friant and W.

Saxbe pleads guilty PHILADELPHIA (AP) --Antiwar radical Susan Saxe withdrew her innocent plea today and pleaded guilty to bank robbery charges in a special deal with federal prosecutors. Miss Saxe, a self-proclaimed feminist and lesbian, agreed to plead guilty to stealing $6,240 from the Bell Savings and Loan Association in Philadelphia in September 1970, and also to participating in a robbery at the Newburyport, federal arsenal in August of that year. The 26-year-old Brandeis University honors graduate from Albany, N.Y., stood before U.S. District Judge Alfred L. Luongo and said she agreed to change her plea after consulting with her lawyers.

Under the deal, the government and defense attorneys said they would recommend to the judge that Miss Saxe receive a sentence of no more than 10 years in prison. She could receive as much as 40 years in jail and a $30,000 fine. In the agreement, the government said it would not prosecute Miss Saxe for 1970 bank robberies in Evanston, 111., and Beverly Hills, and would dismiss a federal warrant charging interstate flight. Miss Saxe, before her arrest March 27 on a Philadelphia street, was on the FBI's 10 most-wanted list for more than four years. Ford joke WASHINGTON (AP) --President Ford, who tumbled down an airplane ramp in Salzburg, Austria, last week, has jokingly accused his wife of pushing him.

"But she denies it," Ford told reporters Monday. The President, chatting with reporters after his news conference in the White House Rose Garden, said he was holding his wife's hand and and an umbrella as they descended the ramp. He said his wife "walked off with the umbrella and left me wallowing in the water." Daily Leader, Pontiac.Ul. Page 6 Tues, June 10,75 326 Pinckney St. OPEN FRIDAYS 'TIL8 P.M.
