MARYLAND NINE|
PREPARES FOR.
SUICIDE SLATE.
BY CHICK KENNY


A Herculean task has been ar
ranged for the University Of Mary
land baseball team for the next
six days. Starting with Penn
State today, the Old Line nine is
scheduled to play six games in
six days, including a double
header with Duke University a.
Durham Monday afternoon.
Should the Terps manage to
squeeze through with victory in
all these games, which is not at
all unlikely, chances Of defeating
Georgetown University a week
from Saturday should be at even
money.
Tomorrow Maryland clashes
with Michigan, Georgetown's foe
Of today. Then Saturday the
team journeys down to Charlottes-
vile for \ game with Virginia, and
after a brief rest Sunday, spent
on the train, Maryland will tie
into the Durable Dukes in the
bargain bill that may have COM
plete bearing on the Southern
Conference baseball champion.
ship.
CLOSE TITLE FIGHT
Last year Maryland lost the
conference baseball banner by a
2-to-1 margin.
Following the Duke debacle,
Maryland will stop en- route to
College Park, meeting william
and Mary at Williamsburg, Va.
This program of six games in
six days will be a severe test for
the Terp hrlers. Instead of
working two and three Fingers in
each game, as had been the GUS
tom during the past few weeks,
Coach Burt Shipley will be obliged
to step up his mound corps to
full nine-inning stretches.
Six hur4ers are counted upon
for duty with Charley Weidenger,
leading pitcher ON the team, prob
ably down for no less than three
Of the games. Following today's
battle against Penn State, Charley
will probably face Virginia Satur-
day and, if able, will work against
Duke in the second game Of the
set Monday.
SET FOR SMICK
OF particular interest to Ship
ley Ia tomorrow's game is the man
ner in which the Terps hope to
shackle Dan Smick. Ship, who
coaches the Maryland basketball
team as wen as the nine, watched
a nice lead melt away last winter
when Smick staged one-man act
to score 10 points in the late
stages Of the game with the Michi-
gan dribblerS Smick is considered
q pretty fair sort of player and is
reported to have attracted the at
tention Of big-league scouts by his
sterling featS on the diamond.
With Weidenger starting today,
it is expected that Southpaw
George Wood will dish out offer
ingS against the Wolverines to-
morrow. Just who will be nomi-
mated by Coach Ray Fisher will
not be known until after the
Georgetown fracaS today. But
don't be surprised if Smick doesn't
turn up in the box to tantalize
the TerpS.

Reduction Locally Cited By Safety Commission in
 Hartford Monday

Reduction in automobile fatalities in Waterbury was cited during. a discussion of traffic problems in the states four largest cities at the monthly meeting of the Connecticut highway safety commission at Hart ford yesterday afternoon.
 Hartford, it was stated, has had an increase in traff1c fatalities this year, while Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport have had reductions. The decrease in Bridgeport has been the most striking, approximately 60 per cent.
 Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port credited engineering with much of the Bridgeport decrease. Esplan- ades have been constructed in the center of many main streets, he said, bringing about smoother f1w oof trafiic and reduction in ac- cidents and fatalities involving pe- deStrianS.
 Waterbury's auto fatalities are considerably below the total at this time last year. If the present rate is maintained to the end of the year, very striking, fatality rate reduc- ton will be effectde. .as
