 KING IN BOROUGH

Naugatuck, April 29-Ralph Blake's five game victory over Howard Eggly makes him the new ping pong champion, and his name will be inscribed on the Marlor tro- phy as singles champion for 1937- 1888.

New York, April 29-(UP)-Great oaks from little acorns grow (copy- right) so who knows but what Creighton university's football team in omaha may revolutionize the snort by its decision to carry ad- ycrtising on the backs of its jerseys ttiS fall.
 The Creighton players, who are coached by Marchie Schwartz, the old Notre Dame all-America, will bear on the backs of their jerseys a map of the state of Nebraska. All in white, the idea of the map is to sell hat state as the white spot Of the nation"
 ! would not be surprised to hear that some enterprising young ad- vertising executive, taking his tip from Creighton, had started on a swing of American universities buy ing up the backs of the prominent football players for use as advert1s- ing cpace.
 "Drink zilch Beer" or "Visit Baumgartners for Furniture Bar gains" in old English script would look lovely across the shoulders of Marshall Goldberg as he ran to a touchdown for Pittsburg behind the interference of two big tackles across whose posteriors was emblazoned Gall 3-1-4-3 for Quick, Courteous Ambulance Service"
 Advertisers might rent the backs for tho nntirp season or for just single game. Rates would vary according to the impor- tance of the game and the number of spectators. The Army-Navy Notre Dame Minnesota, and the bowl games would bring on some lovely bidding.
 The cost of the space would de- pend quite a bit on the caliber of the players, too. It would cost much more to advertise on the back of an all-America than it would on the back of a second string end. Manufacturers of limited means could employ the backs of the stu dent managers, trainers, and water boys.
 Night games would be ideal for advertiser and spectator alike. The player would wear neon sign and even the boys and girls back of the goal posts could follow the progress of the play. The announcer could call the product advertised instead of the players name. A sample of the announcing will give you an Idea:

 To generate the power for the signs players would carry small elec- trio plants on their hips, the power to be supplied by generator fast ened to their legs. A coach would be able to tell at glance what players were giving their all, because the minute player began loafing he would cease to generate power and his lights would go dim. The coach could yank him out and send in fresh bulb, so to speak.
 Such an advertising scheme would do much to curb the evil of subsid- ization. Players would be given a 50-50 cut and everyone would be happy.

PENN RELAYS DRAWS 5000

By HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Philadelphia, April ,29-(UP)- The 1888 eastern outdoor track and field season has its official opening today when upwards of 5000 ath- letes swing into action in the two day, 44th annual Penn relay car- nival at Franklin field.
 College, high and prep school and former collegiate stars will partici- pate in 80 relay events and 13 in- vitation events in tracks greatest athletic extravaganza.
 Feature of today's competition will be three major college relay races-the quarter-mile, the dis tance medley of 2h miles, and the sprint medley. In addition, there will be five special invitation events designed to break the procession of relay races.
 Tomorrow, the feature relay events will be the half mile college, four and two-mile college. In addition, the great Glenn Cunning ham vii lrun special mile race against Gene Venzke, his perennial rival, and two other milers who have yet to be designated.
 Sandwiched between the feature events will be all sorts of relay races for college and high and prep school competitors, designed to prepare the youngsters for big-time com petition.
 ill the winners of major relay titles last year are entered again and most of them loom as formid- able defenders. They are: Indiana, half mile, four mile and distance medley of 21a miles; Manhattan, mile and two-mile; North Texas State, 440 yard, and Pittsburgh, sprint medley winner.
 New York university, which hasn't won a relay crown since 1883 and which took the indoor A. A. U. 1000 meter medley and 1,600 meter titles this year, shapes up as formid- able contender for mile and two mile honors. So does Pittsburgh, in- door I. c. A mile winner, with Olympic 800-meter champion John ny Woodruff running anchor.
 Indiana, which capped 8 mid- west cleanup last year with a world record in the four mile relay, has the same team as in 1897 with the exception of Don Lash, who has graduated. Lash tomorrow will run against Joe McCluskey of New York in a specail 3,000-meter event de- signed to create a new record.
