That's Lombardo's Tempo VI in the background.

Anthony (Amp) Orth, Wilmington's Hairbreadth Harry and one of the country's outstanding motor-boat mechanics, disclosed today that he had signed a five-year contract as racing partner of Guy Lombardo, the speeding orchestra leader who thinks that our Amp makes motors tick off the sweetest music this side of heaven. On Monday, Orth will report at Freeport, Long Island, to take complete charge of Tempo VI, the famed $50,000 225-cubic inch hydroplane that Lombardo drove to the Gold Cup championship in 1946 and to second place behind Danny Foster in the National Swreepstakes last summer. Campbell Holds Record He will immediately begin preparing Tempo VI for an assault on the world's one-mile record of 141.74 miles per hour, established by Sir Malcolm Campbell in August, 1939, on Lake Coniston in his native England. Lombardo has set Friday, April 2, as the date, and Lake Mount Dora in Florida as the place for his bid for a new worlds standard for single-engine hydroplanes. It also is Orth's assignment to ready the powerful three-ton Lombardo craft for motorboat racing's biggest events.

To be held between June and September, they include the forty-first International Gold Cup Regatta, which probably will be staged at Jamaica Bay, New York; the Silver Cup in Detroit, the Na tional Sweepstakes at Red Bank, N. and the President's Cup at Washington. Both Lombardo and Orth are veterans of these tests, Lombardo as one of the best drivers in the business and Orth as mechanic for candy magnate George Schrafft of Philadelphia and, later, brewer Jed Hanley of Providence, R. I. "This is it," said the 41-year-old Orth, a veteran of 23 years in the boat-racing trade but, at the mo ment, as excited as a kid with his first outboard.

"I'm really in the big leagues now. Guy is no publicity-seeking Sunday driver. He's developed into one of the great power boat racers. His record proves that, And the races he competes in the Industrial Playoffs Will Begin Wednesday INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE W. L.

With one exception, the Dyna miters have run over all local op position handily, both city and county. The exception was Wilmington High, which forced the Dynahs to the limit before finally bowing, 28-27.

Tonight, the Dynahs have to get by Brown vocational, a quintet that in spite of a .667 average and a previous loss to P. 32-27, can't be over-looked as a menace to the Dynahs' nine-game winning streak.

Ware added that P. S. will not close its season against Wiltnington after all, as another game has been added to the schedule for March 2 with Bridgeton, N. High on the latter's court. The Dynahs opened their season with the New Jersey five and won, 38-31.

Dr. Michael Scott removed the blood clot that night. A week ago, Dr. Scott performed a similar operation on Ed Franklin, Philadelphia heavyweight, who collapsed at the end of a fight with Bill (Chicken) Thompson. Franklin's condition was described as good by the hospital.

Johnson was replaced on last night's card at the Met by Cleve Simmons, 129, Philadelphia, who lost a decision to Sulla. Walnut 'Y' Team Wins Junior Playoff Walnut Street Y. M. C. A.

Were Racing Rivals The new partnership is not the result of a sudden acquaintance. Lombardo and Orth were in rival racing camps for 10 years and, in approximately 150 meetings with Orth or an Orth-serviced boat, the Royal Canadian of the airwaves won only one race.

So when he decided he wanted to take a crack at the world's record, Lombardo thought of those humming Orth motors and the result was a tel-phone call from the Hotel Roosevelt, New York, to the Orth residence at 101 Orchard Drive in Mc-Daniel Heights. The guy who got that phone call had thought he was in retirement. He had decided to withdraw from the drone of powerboat competition last fall and to build and sell at $1,250 per copy his own racing engines in his new shop at 1023 Gilpin Avenue. Last year was one of his best. The team of Orth and Hanley scored more points than any other entry in American Pow- College Basketball Louisville, 59; XT.

And, also for the second straight year, he was admitted to motorboat racing's Hall of Fame, an awrard given annually to only of 1,400 eligibles for outstanding performance. Offer 'Most Favorable' Orth was content to forget all that and to concentrate on his own business here he thought. But then he got that call from Lombardo and heard Lombardo's offer "it was most favorable" and what followed was a quick trip to New York and today's disclosure that he was back in action. Lombardo told Orth that he wanted to set a new world's rec ord, that he wanted to regain the Gold Cup and win those other big ones. "It's your baby, and your word goes," the maestro said.

So this week-end, it will be off to Free- port for Amp Orth. He'll bury those powerful, oil-stained paws in Tempo VI for several weeks, in stalling an entirely different mo tor, then bring it to Wilmington to give this mahogany beast of the waterways a final tuneup before the big attack on time.

Pro fessional football, which for years nas oeen Duymg tne Dest oi uie cui- lege sport muscle, now is raiamg its brains. Within the last month, three well-known college mentors have been lured from their character-building enterprises by the bulging bankrolls of the money game. A fat offer is winking at a fourth. It's the biggest coaching grab in history and it must have the col leges blinking. Bo Joins Lions The latest to be tempted into a professional fling is silver-haired Alvin (Bo) McMillin, the astute tactician of Indiana University, 20 years a college coach.

Bo responded yesterday to a call said to be $30,000 a year for seven years to lead the Detroit Lions the National League. Before him three weeks ago it was Ed McKeever, the young no mad who coached at five schools a dozen years. ivicjveever waa plucked from the University of San Francisco by the Chicago Rockets of the Ail-America Conference. After he signed, he said the contract made him the "highest paid coach in professional football." At the time it was figured his salary was more than $25,000. Dons Eye Snavely Brooklyn's football Dodgers, an other All-America club, obtained the services of Carl Voyles after the latter had severed his head coaching connections with Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn).

His salary is reported to be around $20,000. The Los Angeles Dons of the All- America are making overtures to Carl Snavely of North Carolina. They've offered him the job Snavely says he'll answer "soon." St. Stephen's Cagers Post Sixth Victory SENIOR CHLRCH LEAGUE Pct. St.

Tentative date for the opening of the golf program at Hercules is April 24 Now that George Davis has been released, it would be nice if the Blue Rocks could get Charley Dykes, son of the old A's star, to second Young Dykes is on Utica roster, but there is a chance he will wind up here They say Jimmy's son is quite an infielder who definitely does not get by on his pop's name He in the Canadian-American last season with Schenec tady.

Bob Orlando has resigned as assistant football coach at Franklin and Marshall, clearing the way for Woody and Boyd Sponaugle to take over. Orlando was the choice of Charley Soleau, who recently resigned as head roach, and is going into the contracting business with his father in Erie, Pa. And Dot's Dot "jVfOBODY is losing any sleep in Lancaster because the ball club there no longer is working with the Athletics The Roses have bfen beefing about the help or lack of help they've received from the A's ever since the tie-up was made The friction became glaring last season when the A's promised to send Nelson Fox to Lancaster "in the next day or so." The Roses finally got Fox, who is a good second baseman, but by that time they were virtually counted out of the running for a playoff position. Lancaster has enough players signed 31 to operate independently this year, but is making no rash state ment as to the quality of this crop. Three Wilmington teams will compete in the Barber Shops Quartet Singing Championships in the Philly Arena tonight.

They are the Tunesmen (Ed Yatkowski, Maurice Donovan, Earl Crow, Ed Hessel-burg); the Delawareans (Bert Bee-son. Earl Reed, Ash Hackett, Joe Aiello), and the Wildela Four (Bill Groundland, Harry Brown, Bill Yound. Ray Phillips). The Arena has heard a lot of music, from Ernie Dusek's grunts to Eddie Gott-leibs screams, but this is the first time it's ever been advertised. As if you didn't know, Sunbury's Inter-State League team now is known as the Reds since it became connected with Cincinnati.

Phillies will hold a spring tryout camp at Dover between April 11 and 15 under the direction of Jocko Collins. William F. Steedman, who writes golf for the Times in Seattle, welcomed Ed Oliver this way: "Ed Oliver, one of the outstanding personalities and most successful tournament players of American golf, will take over this spring as professional of the Inglewood Country Club. In Oliver, Inglewood has obtained a professional who is likely to do much for the club and for Pacific Northwest golf." The University of Maryland will play 30 baseball games this spring, which must be a collegiate record More than 60 pictures and drawings of Wilmington's old-time teams and athletes are on display at Mul-lin's Bob Vance has several sketches in the group, which includes a picture of Bill Mc-Gowan when he was calling 'em In the Southern League in 1923 One of the oldest identified pictures is that of the 1894 Wilmington High football team.
