Maryland will send a varsity re-

The Terp varsity relay will be
composed Of Bill Theis, Logan

chosen from among AL Miller, for.

Improve Sport
Last spring, nine colleges in the
vicinity Of the District, formed
this new conference for the pur.
pose of improving the sport in
the various NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
In all probability, seven Of the
nine will have entrants in the
Penn Relays. While the distance
of the championship relay for the
MaSon-Dixon group is not yet
known, more than likely the con-
teStants will ask for a mile relay.
Among the colleges expected to
compete in the MaSon-Dixon Relay
are C. u, Delaware, Johns Hop
kins, Washington College, Gal
laudet, r n dolp h-Macon and
American University.
Naturally, interest hereabouts,
centerS on Georgetown's relay
team. Ever since the Hoya relay
quartet won over Manhattan, in
the Knights of Columbus Games,
indoors, Georgetown has been
accepted as one of the outstand-
ing relay teams of the Nation.
It would seem, however, that
with Leroy Green out of it, the
Hoyas will be just short Of top
form.
TerpS Entered
Maryland's individual entries
Guckeyson and Males-will have
to improve if they are to make
good Showings in the javelin at
the Penn Relays. Both have it
in them to be up with the
leaders.
The Terp relay team will be
in a class relay competition. It
is not known at this early. just
what combinations the TerpS
will be asked to run against.
As for Georgetown's relay
team, more than likely it will be
called on to tackle, among
others. Princeton. Manhattan
and Dartmouth.

COTTON PARES
BIG LOSSES

NEW YORK, April IS G.N.S) .
After breaking as much as 81 q
bale at the call today, cotton fu-
lures steadied, and after the first
hours trading were down not more
than 65 cents a bale.
Good foreign and trade buying
came in on the decline to levels
close to 10 cents a pound, and as
shorts covered the list rallied.
Unevenness in other commodi-
ties and weakness in grains were
counteracted by an upturn in Sc
curities, which encouraged buying
of cotton. Among factors in the
decline were pessimism about con-
tinuance of the present high con-
sumption rate. export prospects
and favorable crop reports.
Trade and spot house demand
on the slump, and a fair amount
Of foreign buying were in evidence
after the opening. Contracts were
sold by the South, the ring and
the Far East.
After causing some apprehen-
sion on the market by pressing for
stricter regulation of futures trad
ing, Senator Smith of South Caro-.

be delayed a year, in the hope that

ures to curb undesirable practices.
