4 our College Teams Vie
In MARYLAND Field DQv
Rutgers Tests
Terp Field
Aces
BY CHICK KENNY

The University of Maryland's
four-Star carnival listed for Satur-
day afternoon at College Park pro-
vides the highlight of the weeks
college card. Following today'S
game with William and Mary, ath-
leteS of the Old Line institution
will point for the banner carnival.
which calls out the track, base
ball. and tennis teams against
worthy foes.
This is one day of the year when
Maryland throws all it's resources
to the front in the hope of making
triple killing. Just in case you
don't know, the trackmen meet
Rutgers, the netmen clash with
Catholic University, and the ball
cub stacks up against Washington
and Lee.
While this three-way assign
ment is in progress, the Maryland
h e ic department entertains
scholastic tracksters from all over
the Middle and South Atlantic
sections.
RUTGERS ALLAROUND STAR
Much interest is attached to the
appearance of Big Bill" Trana-
witch, o. the Rutgers cinder-and-
field brigade. The Scarlets' Trana-
witch is some Shucks as a shot
putter and discuS-heaver and
looms as a double winner in these
events over the Terps Saturday.
The lad is a fine football play
er, and carried off the nations
third high-scoring honorS last
year.
Tranavitch finished seventh in
the shot event in the Penn relays
last Saturday with a heave of 46
feet 9 inches. He has tossed the
discus better than 1870 feet in prac-
tice this year. These marks are
better than anything accom-
plished by the Maryland athletes
holding forth in the field depart
ment of the team.
TERPS STRONG ON TRACK
While Maryland appears to be
outscored in the field competition
on paper. it appears just as GER
tain to lead in the track events,
with such running aces as Frank
Cronin, Alan Miller, Bill Thies,
Coleman Headley, Joe Peaselee,
Jim Kehoe and Mason Chronister.
Eddie Miller, who did feet 2
inches at Penn, also is expected
to win the high jump for the
Terps; Cronin will be hard to beat
in the pole vault, and John Beers
and Francis Kenney doubtless
will pick up the majority of points
in the broad jump.
However, the meet shapes up
as hotly contested one through
out, with the probable winner de-
termined in the last one or two
events of the day.
SCHOLASTIC DEADLINE
Thirteen open scholastic events
and eight that are closed to
county high schools of the State
are booked concurrently with the
Rutgers Maryland varsity entan-
clement.
Forty-Six schools were repre-
Senated in the last years games,
but the mark is expected TO be
broken this year. Deadline for
entries has been set for tomorrow.
Baltimore and Washington are
expected to set the pace for TIE
scholastic meet championship.
Outstanding locally are the teams
of Central. Tech and Washington
Lee, of BallSton, Va. Another
school which has possibilities is
George Washington High of Alex
andria.

Missed Opening

Billie's kid brother, William,
10, malignS her. She knows a
good deal about baseball and
she likes to go to the games.
She wanted very much to be at
the Indians opening game
with the Mats yesterday, but
she doesn't believe in playing
hooky from Temple School
where she is taking a business
course.
After school every day she
tends to the office work at her
fathers service station on
Georgia Avenue and when she
finishes her business course,
she'll be able to help him a lot
more. Mr.. and Mrs. lavish live
with their two children on Chevy
Chase Parkway in a small red
brick colonial house. Aside
from her interest in baseball,
Billie is very fond of her fox
terrier and writing letters to
newspapers.
In order to give Billie a seri-
Gus answer to her intelligent
sporting question, I had to con-
suit one of our baseball authori-
ties, Mr.. Kirk Miller of the
Times Sports Department. He
regretfully gives the Mats "only
q remote, fighting chance to
win the pennant." The whole
trouble is the weakness of the
pitching staff. The team is do
ing well as a whole, but it is
believed another good pitcher
or two is needed, otherwise that
fighting chance will grow more
and more remote.
But, dear Billie, there's al
ways tomorrow.

nine runs will win behind almost

Wesley Terrell was knocked off
the rubber in the fifth inning, by
which time the Indians had
gathered eight runs, a very tidy

was Ken Keltner's home run with
two on bases in that prolific frame.
Pete Appleton was nicked for

The boys have had 20 men left

these dried in the afternoon sun

win games by leaving men on the

it, but couldn't succeed.

Bert Leeds Would
Film Bard's Life
Saws He Has Good Subject
in Shakespeare's Career
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
u. p. Hollywood Correspondent

IL
HOLLYWOOD, April 27. (UP)
We received a painless postgrad
uate course today in Shakespeare
which was far more interesting
thanv any similar lessons we even
| had in school.
So read on, and learn things
+ about Shakespeare the schoo
teachers always omit.
The professor was Bert Leeds
young 10th Century-Fox director
now doing Jane Withers current
picture, "Hello Hollywood" and
spending most of his spare time
trying to persuade his bosses to
let him make a film biography OF
the Avon Bard.
"They're a little cold on the
idea" he admitted, "but that may
be because no play of Shake
speare'S ever has been much Of a
success as a film. But I'm a nut
on Shakespeare, himself, and his
life story ought to make one OF
the finest films ever.
First off he had an elegant
love affair. He and his wife lived
together for months before they
were married. That in itself is
interesting. Such a wedlock was
no disgrace in Shakespeare's day.
Everybody did it, because Of the
high taxes a man had to pay as
soon as he married.
$50 young Shakespeare had to
earn money to pay for the prlVll-
eye of making his wife legitimate.
HE. got a job as a carriage
starter in front Of a theater. he
took such good care Of the aud
fences horses and carriages that
soon the patrons were asking for
him when they drove up. 1t wasn't
long before he had numerous as
sistants.
Eventually he had a counter
part of the modern parking lot.
One night one of the actors was
sick. Shakespeare filled in. There
were no women on the stage then,
so Shakespeare's first part was
that of female impersonator.
"Gradually he worked his way
up. He sold out his horse parking
business and devoted all his time
to acting-an dwriting sonnets.
''He never did consider himself
a playwright. The actors then
wrote their own plays more or
less of fthe cuff, much like they
did in the early days of the NOV
les. 1t was young Shakespeare's
job to copy down their ideas and
put them in scrip form.
"He polished up the sentences
and displayed masterful skill in
doing so, although he never real
lied it. One thing he did realize,
though, was that he played a part
in each of the plays. So he pad
ded his own part and made it
juicy. You can read almost any
one of his plays today and dis
cover at once which lines he read.
They're the longest ones, the

ones that are definitely Overwllt-
ten.
"After several years of success
on the London stage, Shakespeare
tangled with the municipal au-
thorities, who claimed that thea
ters were dcns of vice. 1t wasn't
long before all the theaters in
London were closed.
$50 Shakespeare led his troupe
to one of the suburbs, where the
laws weren't so strict and opened
up again.

him. but even this brief outline
should indicate why | think he

TRAILERS ADD
TO PROBLEMS
Welfare Agencies Reveal
Plight Facing Nashville
Transients

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 81.
(UP)-Wclfare AGENCIES here are
faced with Il new problem-that
of the stranded trailer families to
whom Home, Sweet Home Is
nothing but a song.
Mrs. J. Il. Bogart, social
worker for the Travellers Aid, has
met every type of transient. She
has assisted in obtaining medicine
and has sung at the burial of Il
baby.
Her trailer "clicntS" range from
those who have been gathering
shells on the Gulf Of Mexico for
home manufacture of novelties to
be sold to those who fashion table
decorations from tin cans they
found in alley heaps.
Trailer children, as a rule, she
says. are poorly educated, since
most of them do not linger long
at once place.
Last year, she said, 10 children
Of families helped by Travellers
Aid were out of school. These
children helped in weaving bas-
kets from boughs gathered in the
woods and in the making of rough
porch furniture from small limbs
collected along the way.
1t is when some member of the
family is i'll, when money is gone
and all other chances for self
support have vanished that the
trailer families make requests for
help, Mrs. Bogart SAID.
This willingness 70 help them
selves is a general characteristic
among them." she declared. "But
it is no wonder that so much sick
ness prevails among them-when
you consider the crowded living
conditions, the slight protection
against the weather and the in
adequate food"
AID is RESTRICTED
The Travellers Aid can give only
groceries and medical care to
those in need, and cannot give
them gasoline for trip to another
city unless they have permanent
residence there.
Most of the stories of stranded
families are filled with pathOs and
Mrs. Bogart said. ''The
hardships experienced in their
struggle for existence are present
in all the cases. Some have given
up the fight.
Death entered trailer family
here recently" she said. "a three
weekS-old baby whose father was
in the hospital with pneumonia,
was stricken with the same dis
ease.
There were no flowers for the
grave, no preacher to conduct the
funeral and no rites with the ex-
ception of a song. AS the casket
was being lowered the mother
asked someone to sing" /
Mrs. Bogart, who said she had
not sung in years, sang a hymn.
Another case, she said, reached
the Travellers Aid when the trail
er of a young man and his wife
was burned, leaving only the bare
iron frame. The woman was serl-
ously i'll.
Mrs Bogart finds hitch-hiking
tourists the most troublesome, and
saws there are far more of them
tbon there are trailer families.

Narcotic Fans
Arabs Frenzy
In Holy Land
Authorities Say Hashish
Plays Large Part
In Terrorism
By JACOB SIMON
United Press Staff Correspondent

JERUSALEM, April y. (UP)
The virulcnt drug haShish appar,
emily is playing Il large part in
keeping Arab terrorism famed to
fever pitch.
Nearly all terroriStS captured
by the police and troops have
been found to be under the IN
tluence of the drug, whose in
creased smuggling into this coun-
try has presented authorities with
problem almost as serious us
the Arab-Jcw disturbances.
Men of the east have used
hashiSh for centuries. The word
assassin" is derived from it's
name. And today, according to
authorities, the Arab bands swal-
low large doses before they go
out to ambush and kill in the hills
around Jerusalem.
According 10 the Arab press in
the Arab city Of Ji,ffa alone TO-
600 hashish addictS are known to
the police out of Il population OF
$4,000.
The bandits 90 to extraordinary
lengths to get the drug, whose
chief effects are aphrodlSlac, and
a sense Of extreme courage and
aggresSiveness. One of the chief
prison officials in Palestine has
told the story of how Sheik Far
han. leader of the terrorist bands
in northern Palestine, obtained
the drug while in Acre jail await
inc execution.
His four wives came to kiss him
farewell. All of them kissed him
on the mouth. Now the warden
knew that it was not the custom
of an Arab to kiss wives in public
under any circumstances and that
in any case an Arab usually kisses
woman on the cheek.
His suspicious aroused, he IN
vestigated and found that each
of the wives had transferred a
dose of haShiSh from her mouth
to the Sheik'S.
Today the terrOriSts follow al
most the same semi-religious rit-
ual of the mysterious Order of
ASSaSSinS formed originally in the
18th century to fight the CruSad-
erS.
