Out of focus and dull images Jockeying for position in the sensational five-mile finals over treacherous course the cream of the nation's out-board pilots compete for the famous trophy. Diving through narrow holes as the fleet of daredevils take advantage of every opening, many of the reckless aces meet near-disaster on the whirlwind turns when their boats capsize. Plunging, chugging, slapping his way ahead of the field Walter Widegren of Glen Cove, N. Y., rides home to a well-earned victory.
