A roundup of the sports information of the week

ARCHERY—JOE THORNTON, 42-year-old Cherokee Indian from Tulsa, showed the European paleface how to shoot at the world championships in Oslo, Norway.

BOATING—Canada's MISS SUPERTEST III needed only two heats to beat Miss Detroit and sink for another year U.S. hopes of winning back the Harmsworth Trophy. It was the third straight time in the U.S.-Canadian contest that the mahogany-hulled hydro, driven by smiling, somewhat cherubic Bob Hayward, left the U.S. in its wake. While Chuck Thompson gamely struggled with a faulty Miss Detroit, which conked out in the first heat and sputtered throughout the second, Hayward piloted Miss Supertest III at a comfortable 100 mph in the first race and a moderate 96 mph in the second over the Bay of Quinte course at Picton, Ont.

Van der Vorm and sailed by his son Otto, survived howling winds and mountainous seas to defeat 98 other boats in a gale-swept 605-mile race from Cowes, England around Fastnet Rock to Plymouth on a corrected time of 81:32:03.
