Big Six Foe
Tomorrow

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 3.-With
all preliminary skirmishes behind
them, the University of Richmond
Spiders will hop with both feet
into the Big Six championship
race against William and Mary's
Indians at Williamsburg tomorrow
night.
With one exception, every same
on the schedule for the rest OF
the season will be against the Old
Dominion'S select half dozen, and
the Big Six title and Southern
Conference tournament invitation
loomed as twin prizes for the
victory-bent Spiders.
Mac Pitt, outspokenly pleased
with the brilliant team play OF his
charges against Randolph-Macon,
cautioned against over-confidence
and pointed to the long Richmond
William and Mary rivalry which he
said reduces every game to a
tosS-up."

he'll string along with the same
starting lineup he used against
the Jackets and that the little but
fast Jack Bristow would win a
forward job in company with
Capt. Bucky Jacobs. "Mush"
Green, who showed a pleasing re-
turn to form against Randolph
Macon, will be stationed at cen
ter, while the Spider coach will
start what he considers the States
best combination of guards-red'
headed Pete Jacobs and Al Dickin-
son. Dickinson, a reserve last
year, has moved up to the varsity
ranks in fine style and gave a
great exhibition the other night
in holding Lyle McFall, Jacket
ace, scoreless in the contest at
Ashland.
Bill Robertson, a fine inspira-
tional player, may get chance
at guard, too, and Jimmy Mundy,
an up-and-coming sophomore, may
have an opportunity to alternate
with BriStoW at forward.

Don Lash 10 Run
InMiIeFedture

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Don Lash,
the Indiana flyer, today accepted
an invitation to compete in the
Wanamaker mile next Saturday,
the highlight of the Millrose
games.
Lash will compete against Glenn
Cunningham, Archie San Romani,
Gene Venzke, Charles Fenske and
Miklos Szabo, Hungarian cham
pion.
This is the same field that
forced Cunningham to a 4:11.9
mile in Boston last Saturday, and
track experts believe the winner
of the Wanamaker mile may
break Cunningham's 1904 world S
indoor record, because the track
here is estimated to be four sec
onds faster than the Boston track.

MARYLAND RINGNEN SLIGHT FAVORITE TO ]
Match Listed
At Cavalier
Stronghold

For the first time since they have
been meeting in the ring, Mary
land will go into its boxing match
with Virginia at Charlottesville
Saturday figured to have better
than an even chance for victory.
The Terps, strong in every class,
have compiled slightly better
record than the Cavaliers. Both
beat North Carolina 5 to 3, But
Maryland scored over V. M. I. by
7 to | after the Cadets had held
the Cavaliers to 4-all. However, the
Cadet team that faced Virginia
was stronger than the one Mary
land engaged.
The engagement at Charlottes-
Vile Saturday has been made
double bill by transferring the
Maryland Virginia freshman ring
tilt that originally was scheduled
at College Park.
AS Virginia will not be repre-
sented in the Southern Conference
boxing tourney at College Park
February 26 and q, Maryland is
doubly anxious to score over the
Cavaliers Saturday. Right now
the TerpS loom as tourney favor
ties.
COurtmen on Spot
Maryland's basketball team Is
strictly on the spot in regard to
qualifying for the Southern Confer
ence tourney at Raleigh, March
4, S. and 6. Starting with the
North Carolina tilt at College Park
Saturday, the Terps have just five
more games with conference rivals
and they will have to win no less
than four of them to have chance
to be among the eight making the
grade on their season records.
Games with conference foes,
other than the one with the Tar
Heels Saturday, all at College
Park. are, February 9, William and
Mary; 13, V. M. l.; 18, Washington
and Lee; "a, North Carolina State.
Maryland's relay team and Cole
man Headley, middle distance
star, are in good trim for their
races in the Millrose games in New
York Saturday night. Headley
will run in the classic 1,000-yard
invitation, but Maryland has not
been advised as to its relay rivals.
Ed Miller, a soph; Bill Theis,
Hermie Evans and Frank Cronin,
all juniors, are slated to run for
the Terps. with John Schultz and
Joe Peaslee as alternates.
The team appears to be about
on a par with the one that beat
Amherst. Princeton and Yale in
the Millrose games last February
in 3:272.

Maryland'S next big twin bill at
home will be on All-University
Night, February 13, when V. M. I.
will visit for basketball and Rutgers

Hunger of promoters and poll
tiCianS is giving the sport out in
California a rough time of it. Ap-
parently, the Golden States horse
racing must endure its growing
pains, even as Florida did.
An Oakland architect-politiCian
threatens to go on through with
his projected track in IngleWooo

and race next summer in def
ance of the State racing board.
Something easier to talk than
to do. Raising a million dollars
to build a racing plant in Cali
fornia, with a permit already
granted, would be almost as sim
pie as the Governments floating
of a loan. But rounding up that
kind of money to build a track
for summer racing, without per-
NIT and all the bugaboos that can
be raised against such PROPOSE

Perhaps the IngleWood promo

Any horsemen would hesitate
to try such stunt with known

.BEAUTY- Gl0rifving
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

A healthy body and sunny dls- position are the first requisites or true beauty, the kind which lasts long after your hair has turned 10 silver and you can't squeeze into a size 16. Correct makeup and De- coming coiffure are important, ot course, but you should not ignore exercise, proper diet and regular health habits.
 The girl who eats sensibly, takes A moderate amount of exercise, sleeps enough and maintains a pleasant frame of mind is much more likely to be lovely at 45 than one who eats all the pastry and rich foods in sight, never walks more than the distance from front door to taxi, burns the candle at both ends and gets upset and cross whenever things don't go her way. Bad tenn per puts lines across the toreheao and makes the mouth hard and un- attractive. Makeup will cover these lines for time, but not for al- ways.
 Just for one month, have soup and a large green salad for lunch each day, and substitute fresh or stewed fruit for heavier dinner des- serts. Sleep at least eight hours every night. Walk one mile a day or do limbering and stretching exercises for ten minutes. Even though the idea itself seems a little silly, try whistling or humming a gay tune whenever you find your self getting angry inside or choking up with self-pity.
 At the end of the month, go m for a little self-analysis? Don't you look less tired? Isn't skin clearer? Aren't eyes more sparkling? Do you step along lightly instead of drag ging feet heavily?
 Bad posture has a more disastrous effect on health and temperament than a good many seem to realize. Lift your chest, eliminate hollow in the back so stomach will be flat, hold head up, then see how much better you feel and look.
 NEXT: Bathing beauties.

YOu1" Childrgn
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Let us try terribly hard to en- courage children in their generoSi- ties.
 Really the little folk are much more soft-hearted than we are, we who are so full of prejudice and a fearsome stinginess, also.
 Try to pass /. pencil-man or a street-minstrel without dropping a coin into the cup, and see if small James won't remind you: Aren't you going to give the man some thing, mother?" Try turning away a hungry dog or cat, and expect to escape Mary's tears or Johns coax ing. Try to discourage the unkempt waif that one or the other of them brings home to play, and not have their hurt and accusing eyes follow you.
 Yes, yes, it's true, of course, what you say, that we simply can't let our hearts run away with our stitt old heads, or our purses, either, but isn't there something rather won- derful to be caught and held in these humane and sympathetic urges ot our children?
 Can Cultivate Generosity
 Parents ask how to cultivate gen. erositysin their children. One answer is to give it freedom. There is hunger of the soul in all human beings big or little, to help. to give to be kind.
 The selfishness of little children .s not related to morality, but to developing sense of posseSsiveness, one of the natural, normal com plexes. It must, of course, be diverted and not allowed to crowd out other parallel impulses, but much of it is to be expected, as each of us is sel- fish.
 One of the best ways to keep Selfishness from dominating is to allow its partner, generosity, to have greater sway. Generosity, contrary to popular opinion, is natural born characteristic of all children.

Obstruction of the nose, or con- gestion, or stoppage or stuffiiness in the head, as you prefer, is more or less annoying in many acute and chronic conditions, some being of systemic, constitutional or general character, some strictly local lesions.
 The child or adolescent with lymphoid hyertrophy (adenoids and enlarged tonsils) becomes accus- toned gradually to mouth breathing and so is least conscious of discom- fort from nasal obstruction. Dis- cusSing prevention of adenoids and enlarged tonsils here five years ago we said:
 "At all time, therefore, nakedness and nudiSm must be regarded as healthful for infants and children. The fashion of bare knees or bare legs or bare feet is comlnendable. Scantiness of attire which shocks us olGtr fogies is likewise commendable from the viewpoint of health. Even in mid winter it is healthful to go without clothing or without this or that superf1uous garment if one finds it comfortable to do so. (This pre- supposes one is not an idiot. An id tot would not know in any gwen circumstance whether he or she is comfortable. A child of normal mentality does) ''The m:d-winter sunshine or skyshine is compara- lively poor in ultraviolet, but still it is beneficial if it can get to the skin"
 The ultraviolet rays of direct sun- light change ergoteror in the skin to viosterol, vitamin D, which is car ried by the blood to every part of the body. More and more evidence is accumulating to support the be- lief that vitamin D, and not vitamin A as some investigators thought and some physicians still think, prevents and cure lymphoid hypertrophy in the adenoid and tonsil.
