five yards. Time was when, to own your own boat, you first had to own your own country. Later, you either had to be running in rum or rolling in dough. You either had to be a Commodore or a Capone. Nowadays, though, if you can't find your plumber, chances are he's out water-skiing.

In his own boat. The milkman has his own burgee. The butcher is a vice-commodore of the yacht club. Next: "His" and "Hers" submarines. If you don't have a boat, your status symbol is a blank piece of paper.

You'd be better off socially taking in washing. The traffic on certain of our inland waterways need sigalerts. There isn't even room for the fish anymore. Still, when we think of a man going down to the sea in a stinkpot, or power cruiser, or in nylon sails we still tend to think of Felix Vcn Luck-ner, or Captain Ahab. Which is what sets Robert Bilderback Fry apart from the rest of the world's able-bodied seamen.

From tip to toe, he doesn't have a single tattoo. He doesn't even own a parrot. I don't think he even drinks rum. His "yacht" is only slightly bigger than ihe one cruised by the three men in a tub. It's 13 feet 8 inches from bow to transom and you'd look for oarlocks in it if it weren't for the 100-horse monster hanging off its back.

More Comfortable in Washing Machine Bob Fry can go any place in it that has a gas pump find lets him get home in time to show up for work at the missile plant early Monday morning. It doesn't look like the kind of boat you'd want to spend an afternoon in, in a heavy chop. Personally, you'd be more comfortable in a washing machine. But Bob Fry is such a tenacious sailor that he has won 8 out of 12 marathon or endurance races with it usually against far bigger hulls. Even if you put an eye patch on him and a knife in his teeth, Bob Fry wouldn't look like a seafaring man.

He's 49 years old, slight of build. He speaks with the slow, careful drawl of the scientist who has to measure what he says as if you were going to take a slide rule to each adjective. You expect an outboard jockey to be a kind of hell-and-high-water character with an Ascot scarf who scorns a life jacket and goes around buoys at a angle to the water. But Bob Fry puts on a life jacket just to warm his boat up at the dock. "I hit the water once two miles out at sea.

And when you're two miles out at sea with your shoes on and life jacket off, you make up your mind not to make that mistake again." Bob Fry is one of a hundred or so boat jockeys who will take part in a Lake Havasu Outboard World Championship at the resort city built by Parker Dam this Sunday, This is a 60-mile-an-hour, 6-hour verte he Tigers scored on lour Two long runs and a one- AUBURN'S 'AIRPOWER' Landing just like a long jump specialist, Auburn's Tucker Frederick- son sails over the Alabama defense Thursday for 35 yards to the 'Bama 10 to set up the first TD.
