Two Complete Channel Swim as Seven Fail DOVER, July 28 (IP)- Two men swam the English Channel today, the first to make a successful crossing of the 21-mile stretch this season. The two, who crawled ashore in St. Margaret's Bay here, were Abdel Litif Abou Helf, 22, an Egyptian student, and Phil Rising, 41, an English watchmaker.

a Choppy Channel The Egyptian conquered the choppy channel after churning for 15h. 42m. Rising made it in 15h. 56m. Georges Michel, a Frenchman, set the record of llh.

5m. in 1926. i Seven others making the atr tempt at the same time failed. They were five Egyptians, a Swede, and a 17-yearold English girl. Abdel Litif was one of a group of six Egyptian long-distance swimmers who plunged into the water simultaneously at Cap Gris Nez, France.

The other five were pulled from the water be tween six and seven miles off the English coast Two of the Egyptians, Bakr Hosein Solinam, 24, and Abdel Megid Mohammed, 37, were suffering from exhaustion when their boat brought them Into Folkestone. Other Failures Philip Mickman, 20, who In 1949 became the youngest man ever to swim from France to England, set out tonight in an attempt to make it across the hard way. Last year young Mickman swam to within 200 yards of the French coast but had to be pulled from the water after battling a treacherous tide; for 25 hours and 30 minutes. The other Egyptians who tried and failed were Abdel Monheim Abdu, 27; Lt. Helmi Maraghi, 23; and Mohammed El Sharmi, 40.

The English girl, Doris Fell, gave up after 12 hours of battling the choppy water. She became sick. The Swedish swimmer, Lars Warle, gave up after swimming for llh. 58m. He was within two miles of the English coast when he was pulled into his escorting boat.

Beyond Measure Outdoormen don't measure what they get out of hunting fishing in dollar terms. There is treasure found in outdoor living which is beyond any measure of dollars spent. It would be a sorry victory in military and political fields if we exhaust some of the most precious things we possess things not imperative in national defense. There is a very definite element of maintaining national spirit, stamina, love of country, -in outdoor days.

These are most vital things we should emphasize in protecting what we possess in outdoor America.

Norm flew home to Eugene, on Friday to be with his ailing wife. The first touchdown was scored by Towler on a fullback delay. He tore away from two Training Center team against the Rams in Round 2. The grapevine whispers that Tay has a very potent first team, but lacks reserves. Inasmuch as NTC has dates with Loyola and SC later on, you can expect Jordan Olivar and Jess Hill to have their spies planted in Balboa Stadium Friday night.

Ex-Collegians And Coach Herman Ball of the Redksins hardly could be expected to pass up such a nice opportunity of getting an early line on the Rams. Not that the 'Skins particularly need one. They've whipped the Rams three straight in the annual Times classic. The windup, offers the Rams against the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot team, skippered by Capt. Pat Boyle.

Bears Sign Paul Lea CHICAGO, July 28 The Chicago Bears announced today the signing Paul Lea, Tulane tackle. BY CAL WHORTON Johnny Gonsalves is finding more work in this area than in his home town of Oakland.

Loser by a narrow split decision here last week to Art Ara-gon, the 20-year-old Portuguese boxing master comes south again this week to give Rudy Cruz, Los Angeles Mexican, a 10-round rematch Friday night at Hollywood Legion Stadium. It was against Cruz last June 15 that Gonsalves made his local bow. His debut was impressive as he outjabbed the willing Cruz to nab a unanimous decision. Army Calling Gonsalves is clamoring for a return shot with Aragon, but it's doubtful if the two will ever get together again. Johnny is slated for Army duty in the near future.

Cruz has engaged in one fight since losing to Gonsalves. Early this month he won handily over Freddie (Babe) Herman. Neither Gonsalves nor Cruz is an exceptional puncher. In their first scuffle Rudy went all out in carrying the action to his opponent. It was possibly this style of attack that cost him the fight.
