CHAMBER BACKS UP WEsTERNERs

The action of the Seward Chamber of Commerce in endorsing the twice month mail service to the Westward out of the Port of Seward wise action for it tanly appears, judging from the months of comments made this subject by Westward citizens that they have just cause for greivance
 For quarter of century these hardy Westeners- the furthest West in these United Stateshave carried without single complaint cut off from the world in extremely bleak region and harvesting treasure from land and sea- in the form of fish and fur with but mail month and three times during the winter in what might be called the barren lands.
 It seems pity that of the richest regions in the entire Territory cannot be served better than this Even remote Interior districts where but handful of people live are given better treatment than the hundreds of real empire builders Westward.
 Their request is reasonable Let's not stop, here in Seward until every resource has been expended in aiding them in securing twice month mail service.

entries for the 102 events.
Featuring the opening days pro-
gram, which will continue from 10
am. until nearly sunset, is the decath-
Ion. or all-around championship. An
ordained minister is among the IL

University yesterday against Wake
Forest until the eighth when the Tar
heel loosed q batting attack that ac-
counted for seven runs and the game.
Three home runs, a single and three
bases on balls were mixed by the
sluggers from Dixie in this big frame.
A lacrosse game between the Uni
versity of Maryland Freshmen and
Baltimore Poly was by far the most
interesting of three competitions
staged yesterday at the University of
Maryland at College Park. The visi-
tors won, to 3, after two extra
periods. The Old Line youngsters,
showing marked improvement over
their first game with Baltimore City,
led the Baltimore stick-wielders until
the closing minutes Of regulation play
when Turnbull, Poly's first attack,
scored two goals to tie the score at
3 points. The first extra period saw
neither IL score,s but in the second
session Dukehart and Pearie came
through with one goal each to bring
the Baltimore schoolboys victory.
Maryland's varsity nine enjoyed a
field day to trounce St. Johns, II to 2.
There was nothing to the game after
the second inning, when the Old Liners
amassed II runs. The nine from An
napolis, however, is stronger than it's
work yesterday would indicate. 1t
simply went to pieces as do most all
teams once in a while.
In the third attraction yesterday the
Old Line Freshmen tennis team fell
victim to the strong Central High
combination, to 5.

encouraging to coach OReilly.

GREAT, DARING PLAY
MADE BY ECKERSALL

BY the Associated Press.
The play that has been recounted
for 20 years as one of most brilliant
and daring strokes in the annals of
intercollegiate foot ball history was
conceived and executed by Walter
Eckersall, quarterback of the 1905
University of Chicago team.
The play occurred in the Michigan
Chicago game. Chicago had stopped
Michigan close to the Maroon goal
line, and a punt from behind the line
seemed the only logical play. Chi
cago was leading, to 0. AS Eckersall,
kicking for the Maroons, outstretChed
his arms to receive the pass, he OBJ
served Garrells, Michigan end, shift
from his regular position. Eckersall
barked out new signals.
Set presumably to kick from 10
yards behind his own goal, "Eckie'
electrified the spectators and sur
prised Michigan by darting around
the unguarded end. With his great
speed Eckersall was not brought
down until after covering 10 yards.
Eckersall then punted and the slender
lead held by the Maroons was safe.

The tournament is being held about

WELD and track athletes of
l. Georgetown University, Uni
versity of Maryland, Gallaudet
4 and Catholic University will
compete in the Penn relay
carnival tomorrow and Saturday.
AS in former years, Georgetown
will send the largest and most for
lnidable squad, consisting of IL
varsity and freshman stars. Mary
land will send or 8, depending
largely upon the condition of Capt.
Roger Whiteford, who is recovering
from a spiked heel inflicted in the
last Saturday. His place on the re-
lay team may be filled by Leroy
Sheriff, who was entered in the 440-
yard low hurdles.
For the first time in recent years
Washington's schoolboy ranks Will
not be represented. The proximity of
the Maryland L. scholastics on May
Z is the general reason for the failure
of the local high school coaches TO
enter their charges in the big Quaker
carnival.
Maryland, Gallaudet and Catholic
University win have entries in relay
events only. with the exception of
The former. which has a lone entry in
the 440-yard low hurdles.
George Washington University will
he the only local college not repre-
scented in the mammoth meet. The
Colonials' squad is rather green, with
but two veterans left from last sea-
son, and il was decided not to send
relay quartet this year.
G. L. Not Optimistic.
Georgetown optimism, which was
/. H. Il tn F,A,r
mer years, is not prevalent. While
the Blue and Gray athletes have
strong hopes in several events, there
is no air of assurance.
Tip Maroney and Fred Wiesner
have been groomed for the decathlon,
in hopes that the laurels gained by
Bob LeGendre, Tony Plansky and
Emerson Norton in former years
might be defended. Neither of these
two lads is considered the versatile
star that any one Of the former Hill
top celebrities was, but both have
an inside chance of capturing the
most sought honor.

DESERT GOLF LINKS
HAS MANY HAZARDS
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Desert sheiks and Bedouin shep-
herds are freak hazards on the Abu
Zabal golf course. Sand is plentiful
and local rule allows players to brush
sand away until at least three-quart-
ers of the ball is exposed.
The fairways are all sand but the
sand greens are covered with thin
sun-baked mud. When the course was
established tin tee boxes were fre-
quently stolen for use as water buck
cts. The boxes were perforated and
the natives left them alone.
Raids on flags were stopped when
tin flags were substituted for cloth as
sheik robes or shepherds coats could
not be made from tin.
