Upcoming now are a couple of events that could well be true biggies. On June 14, San Pedro's gift to the auto racing world, J. C. (Aggie) Agajanian, whose western sombrero has become a trade-mark, will take his first "dip" into motorboat race promotion, along with Los Angeles Boat and Ski Club. w.

Exchange Students Visit Stadium To us, one of the nice things the other (Memorial) day, was the appearance at the first of the holiday meets at Long Beach of 15 young and generally handsome men who are foreign exchange students at SC. Among them, eight nations were represented France, West Germany, Ecuador, Pakistan, Iran, Belgium, Japan and Korea.

It's of note that they enjoyed the action, but it seems more of note that, via events of sport, those people of many nations get another picture of America at play and work. And, speaking of work, if you don't think these race-boat guys work at their play with a vengence stand and watch while they ready for a meet in their home garages. Any meet. If important ones, plan for a couple of long watches. Speaking of accent on youth, that's exactly what Edward (Ed) Lester and Ginny Smith plan for their Ma-rineros Camp, which they have leased at Fourth of July Cove, Catalina Island, and w-ill open June 27.

Must Go Ashore Sometime Instruction in outboard motor maintenance and operation will be featured; also sailing, with San Diego helmsman Tony Bill as counselor; and, of course, land sports. Every boatman has to go ashore once in a while. Ed and Ginny have long been ardent in the cause of boating, writing the salty gospel for Various publications and giving with the news on their regular KCOP "Sea-Larking" program, usually from their sloop Typee, on which they spend the summers and all other time they can, anchored at Cherry Cove. Los Angeles-born Ed will direct the camp, with Ginny as first mate. The Smiths are happy about their enterprise, but already know one thing for sure: they'll be in for hard work, and have already had a load.

Sahara Cup Race Grows Too Big for Its Sponsor LAS VEGAS, June 4 One of this area's most successful sports promotions was offered to the commu nity for sponsorship last night when Hotel Sahara of- ficals relinquished all rights to its Sahara Cup race for unlimited hydroplanes on Lake Mead. Sahara officials said that in its three-year history the race simply has become too big a project for sponsorship by one organization, but agreed to assist in retaining it for the area.
