Program

It's "All-University Night" TO-
night at University Of Maryland.
All-University Night, if you
know it or not, is a lengthy and
colorful spectacle and features
every phase of recreational activ-
ity undertaken on the Terp cam
puS.
Quite naturally, two of tonight's
outstanding events are a basket
ball game and a dual boxing meet.
The first named event will find
Maryland pitted against Virginia
Military Institute, starting at 7:30.
Boxers Face Rutgers
Major Harvey L. Miller's Terp
boxers will tackle a team from
Rutgers, after the basketball tilt is
completed.
v. M. is baSketerS are not con-
sidered strong enough to hold the
Terps in check. Maryland, bat
tling to get into the Southern Con-
ference floor tourney, is a top
heavy favorite to take the Cadets
into camp.
Rutgers boxers may cause Mary
lands mittmen some concern. The
Rutgers team is fresh from a Z
to-1 win over Massachusetts, InSti-
tue of Technology. In the M. l. T.
meet, Rutgers scored five knock
outs, warning enough that Mary
land cannot afford to under-eSti-
mate the visitors.
NedOmatsky To Fight
First reports that Ivan Nedomat-
sky, Maryland star, would not box
tonight, are now found to be un-
true. Nedomatsky will be in there
singing blows. Ivan was out for
just a few days with a slight at
tack Of influenza.
Bob Walton, however, will not
box for Maryland He will be re-
placed by Lancelot Jacques. The
latter returns to ring wars after
a long absence due to illness.
The remainder of the Terp line
up will be the same as that which
faced Virginia last weekend.

for Coyotes IN Colorado

Denver.-W. e. Ritter, Colorado
district agent Of the United States
biological survey, credits wire
haired terriers with playing an inn
portant role in the determination OF
the dreaded coyote in the West.
The diminutive terriers supple
ment the work Of the hunters by
1earlessly going into the small open
ings Of the dens and bringing out
one by one the litter Of coyote pups
inside the dens.
The trail hounds which are used
BY the hunters to pick up the scent
Of the predatory animals and locate
the dens are too large to get through
the openings. The work Of the ter
riers saves much time for the hunt
ers, who previously passed hours
digging.

vising the plan and training the ter

Indian Sweating Cave"
Is Discovered in Maine

West Lubec, Me. - An Indian
sweating cave has been discov-
cred here.
The cave was identified as such by
Jim Mcdonald. Of Black Head, vet
eran trapper and hunter.
The cave was built Of stones with
out mortar. In the center was a
hollow where a fire was built and
stones placed around it. When the
stones got hot, those suffering from
colds, coughs and pneumonia would
gather around while water was
poured over the hot stones.
Steam penetrated their blankets
and the patient perspired. This was
done until all pain was gone from
the body.
