the end OF the school year.
The allaround type of ath-
lete, such as a winner of three
major letters must be, is now
somewhat rare at the Academy,
few, in fact, participating in
three sports during the year.
Owing to the demands of schol-
asticS, many feel that they must
take a rest during at least one
season in order to maintain their
grades.
Always Busy
However, Berries and Dornin,
and a few others have been busy
during the whole school year
ever since they entered the Acad-
emy. During the fall and winter,
football and basketball occupy
their attention, but in the spring
they separate, Berries playing
baseball, and Dornin taking up
the lacrosse stick.
In the number Of major ms
Berries has gone ahead of his
mate, having won three in foot
ball, two in baseball, and two
in asket ball-seven in all.
Dornin has won the same mum.
ber in football and basketball,
but taken but one in lacrosse, a

him from playing last season
Both Berries and Dornin are
likely to win two more major
letters before graduating next
June. Both are regulars on the
basketball five, while Berries
will have another season of base.
ball. and Dornin one more OF
lacrosse. Berries will not equal
the record of Ira Mckee, who
won 10 letters, having had four
years of varsity sports, there be
ing no one-year rule at that
time.
Cutter May Earn Three
Slade Cutter, the big tackle
who kicked the field-goal which
won the Army game, is likely tc
get in the three-letter class this
year. He has major letters n
football and boxing, and will play
lacrosse in the spring. with ar
excellent chance of making 9
regular place, with a letter in
this sport following. He took ur
the game last season.
In the next lower class, there
is a candidate for triple honors
in Tom King, halfback of the
eleven. King also plays basket
ball and baseball, and has q
chance of winning letters in both
this year. He is slated for the
position of first base on the nine
and is a strong candidate for
guard in the court game. Unless
King completes his three-lette1
program this year, the academy
will be left without a holder of
the triple honor upon the gradua-
tion of the class of 1885.

YANKEES LIST |
q SPRING
CANES

There are twenty,seven spring
games for the Yanks,. seventeen
of them with National League
clubs. Following their custom,
Business Manager Ed Barrow of
the Yanks has not scheduled any
games with teams in his own
league. This is a commendable
policy as intraleague games only
take the edge off the regular cam
paigning.
Play Braves
A full third of their spring
games will be played by the Yanks
with the Boston Braves, who as
usual will also make the Sunshine
City their headquarters. The COM
ing spring will be the Yanks'
eleventh consecutive annual en-
campment in st. Petersburg, Fla,
while it will be the Braves four
teenth straight visit there.
The first squad of Yanks will
report in st. Pete Monday, March
4, and the second squad Monday,
March II. The Braves, it is imag-
ined, will be getting in about the
same times.
Reside There
Several players of both clubs
have their permanent winter resi-
dences down in that section of the
healthful Pinellas peninsula, so
some of the boys will be on hand
considerably ahead Of the dates
specified, for informal exercise on
the golf courses and the softball
diamonds.

domestic citrus industry. Two years ago when the department had two men in South America searching for disease .- resisting potatoes to be used in breeding work, several Russians were there for the same purpose.
 The expedition now in Japan is looking primarily for grasses and other foliage plants. It comprises H. G. MacMillan, veteran plant explorer. and J. L. Stephens, de- partment forage crops specialist. They expect to explore the remote Hingan mountains where, because of extreme temperatures, it is hoped the search will yield many plants suitable for hot. dry regions in this country.
 "Macaroni" Wheat
 In 1904 a department plant ex- plorer named Mark Carlton went to Russia and returned with durum wheat seed which proved ideally suited to cold. dry areas of the north central states where it now is an important crop. This wheat is known as the ''macaroni" va riety.
 Fro m the Orient, department scientists have brought back near ly 4.000 strains of soybeans, Illin- ois alone now grows more than 300,000 acres of this crop annually.
 Officials are hopeful that valu- able new plants may be found in what mgiht be figuratively re- ferred to as their own backyard. A party of 10 botanists is at work in Washington and Oregon. Other groups will soon be sent to Ari- zona, New Mexico, Texas, Okla homa. North Carolina and Ten nesSee.

The piece of paper being presented, the date was seen to be day after tombrrow, and the name of the hotel, the Claiborne.

CHINA DEVELOPES
 TUNGSTEN ESTATE
Deposits of Great Value Located in Kivangtunk
 Province

Peiping, China (UP)-With the development of number of tung- sten ore mines in northern Kwangtung province, China, the Kwangtung provincial government and a number of associated Chf- nese capitalists now hope to'get in on the selling and more profitable and of the international arms in- dustry.
 Heretofore China's chief contri- button to the arms industry in Lu- rope and the United States mas been in the role of purchaser.
 Under Red Control
 The best known tungsten de- posits in China happen to be in territory controlled by the Red army in southern Kiangsi prov ince: Along the border regions Of Kiangsi and Kwantung provinces. however, there are deposits located in territory controlled by General Chen Chi-tang, the Canton mili- tary power, and according to new reports. mines have begun opcr- ation there.
 Not long ago a British firm, sen- sitive to the useability and sale ability of tungsten, secured the right to exploit the deposits in tie Kiangsi- -Kwangtung areas.
 Mining Men Complained
 This led to complaints by south ern Chinese mining men and these in turn awakened the Canton au- thorities to the profit-making pos- abilities of the tungsten. Since central Kiangsi is wholly under Communist control and the British could move their tungsten only down through Canton, the Canton csc had a lever on which to turn their complaints.
 The ultimate result was the vol untary withdrawal of the British interests.

There was nothing the matter with the Claiborne Hotel. It was a decent, pleasant place. But the Ellington tradition demanded that the tribe should blow itself when visiting the metropolis. America fortunately for the metropolis-is full of people like that!
 "But we'll stay," the sisters agreed, flor Grandma's sake"
 And having day and half be- fore the old lady's return, set out to spend it agreeably.
 They were later than they'd meant to be getting back to the ho- tel the next day. It had been a crowded and exciting afternoon. And now, breathless and a bit anx- ious for fear Grandma might be there ahead of them, they came hurrying in to find out.

Washington - (UP) - Agricul- ture department scientists are hunting widely separated parts of the world for plants, which are thought to be useful in checking soil erosion. One party is in Russia and another in Japan. Others will start soon for western and south ern United States.
 H. L. Westover and c. R. Enlow will visit Russian Turkestan, Per- sia and Afghanistan, looking for plants which would help hold in place soil in southwestern portions of this Fcountry. Five years ago Westover spent year in Turkes- tan and Persia and brought back several strains of 'wilt-resistant al- falfa.

Breen, assistant to Will Hays, president of the Motion Picture Pro- ducers and Distributors of Amer ica, Inc, announced today after his appointment as MIRA code ad- ministrator to pass on all pictures produced by the Hays group.
 The action marks the first step of the industry toward internal regulation since protests against objectionable films began growing late last spring.
