dates who based their campaign solely on the old age pension plan, were leading their opponents. The others seemed defeated on the basis of incomplete returns.
 Won By Own Parties
 Eighteen of the 90 incumbent congressmen seemed to have won renomination by their respective parties, and five, entered in both primaries, were given both denlocra- tic and republican endorsement, which seemed to assure their cleo. ton. These six were: Harry L. En. glebright, R., Prank H. Buck, D. Richard J. Welch, R., B. w. Gear. hart, R., and Charles Kramer, D.
 Some of the contests were close enough to make Q change possible with the final count but most of the vote in populous areas was inc cluded in tabulations and in Q maj. ority of districts the status of cane didates was not expected to be al. tered.
 Leading Opponents
 The thirteen leading opponents in their respective parties were: Clars ence F. Lea, D.: Florence P. Kahn, R.; John H. Tolan, D.; John J. Mo. Grath, D.; Henry E. Stubhs, D.: John Steven McQroarty, D.; Thom. as F. Ford, D.; John M. Costello, D.; John P. Dockweiler, D.: Charles J. Golden, D.; Byron N. Scott, D.: and Sam L. Collins, R., Albert w.. Carter, R.
 The incumbents endorsed by the Townsend organization were Engle. bright, Welch, Garter, Tolan, Mo. 0rath, Gearhart, stubbs and Kra. mer. Dr. Townsend's followers rec garded all as friendly to the $200- a-lmonth pension plan.
 Three independent" Townsend candidates leading opponents were Nelson B. Van Matre, R., Harry R. Sheppard, D., and Ed P. Sample, R.
 Townsend Attorney Licked
 Ono of the outstanding Town- send contests occurred in the third district, where Congressman Buck administered 0 smashing defeat to Sheridan Downey, Dr. Townsend'S attorney, in the democratic priEn- ary.
 Another, in Dr. Townsend's home district, resulted in Joseph N. Ma. ton, indorsed by the pension fol- lowers, trailing Congressman Scott on the democratic ticket.

Both Stoney and Harlee attacked the New Deal; Byrnes defended 1t. e Returns Are Slow Returns from four congressional races were slow and showed no con- elusive result, though in the third district the incumbent J. 0.

Maryland Touchdown on Short
Pass in Second Matched by

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October
~ 17.-With both teams scoring in
identically the same, way, on short
passes, the University of Maryland and
University Of Virginia freshman elevens
battled to 6-6 tie here yesterday in a
preview to the clash between the two
-varsities this afternoon.
Maryland scored first, in the second
period, when John Carliss, brother of
a former Old Liner star, tipped short
aerial to Francis Beamer, who raced
Is yards to score. Virginia's yearlings
did not score until the last period.
when a similar pass, Williams to
Southall, found the latter on the 90
yard line, from which point he dished
over the goal line. Both attempts at
conversion from placement were
missed.
In addition to tossing the scoring
pass, Carliss served notice that he can
run and kick with the best of fresh
men, his long boots getting the visitors
out of trouble on more than one occa-
sion.
