Twice Surprised
In Exhibition

Jimmy Mcclure, the present
United States table tennis champion,
was defeated twice last night in a
series of exhibition matches at the
Columbia Table Tennis Center.
Sander Glance, former co-holder of
the world doubles championship and
one of the greatest stylists in the
game, whipped Mcclure, 21-18,
18-21, 23-21, while Lou Pagliaro,
ranked no better than sixth ma
tional]y, took Mcclure by l8-21,
21-19, ALL.
Mcclure wasn't shut out, however.
as he won a long, exciting duel with
Jimmy O'Connor, Florida and Cuban
champion, by ALT, 14-21, 26-24.
O'Connor also bowed to Glance,
21-10, 21-14.
Mcclure and O'Connor whipped
Glance and Pagliaro in the one dou-
bles match IN which each team used
only one paddle.

A. u. Five Optimistic,

BuckneII Terrors Visit
Tonight; EoeIes Also
Look to 6. u. Come

The local lid Of the 193o-40 COL
lege basket ball season will be pried
of in double fashion tonight, a.
what has been tabled as American
University's "best" five entertains
Bucknell and Maryland plays host
to Western Maryland at College
Park. The games will start at 8:15
o'clock.
Even with three of the players
who went to the final of the South
ern Conference tournament last
year as a nucleus, Maryland will
present an uncertain combination
against the Terrors. George Dewitt,
runnerup for individual scoring
honors in the District last year, will
be at forward with Adam Bengoe-
chea, with Charley Weidinger at
center and Pershing Mondorn and
Milton MULTI at guards. Wei
dinge is new to varsity basket ball
and MULTI is back after a years
layof1.
Missing will be George Knepley
and Eddie johnson, q pair who did
much to give the Terps balance last
year.
Cassen Is Enthusiastic.
Out at A. u. Coach Staff Cassell
is rather enthusiastic about his
Eagle five, which will make its de-
but against repeatedly strong
Bucknell quint. A. U. has four
veterans in George Outch) Schulze,
former Western High star: George
Brown, Carl Byham and Ernie
Webb, with the 6-foot-5 Byham
giving them quite an advantage un-
der the backboards.
Although the Eagles naturally
will be out to get of on the right
foot against Bucknell, they are really
looking a couple of nights ahead
to the game with Georgetown on
Thursday.
Hoyas Respect Eagles.
AS a matter Of fact, Coach Elmer
Ripley of Georgetown said today
that he had a healthy respect for
A. U. and is shutting his lineup
which lost the opening game to
Baltimore. AL Lujack, a good look
ing sophomore, will start at center
in place of Giebel and Russ Miller
will supplant Dick Dieckelman at
forward.
Both Giebel and Dieckelman are
good men and will see plenty of
action this year." Ripley said, but
I believe Lujack and Miller will fit
in well with our veteran combina-
ton just now"

 New Schedule

The steamer Tongass of the Alaska Transportation Company brought in heavy cargo of general merchandise to Gastineau Channel this morning, put two crews of longshoremen to work and prepared to return this evening direct to Seattle.
 Cause of the rush is Alaska Trans portation Companys new schedule, with the Tongass scheduled to sail next from Seattle May 12, to be followed by the new Taku, May l9, and later the Tyee, maintaining regular weekly schedules.
 The Takn and Tyee are 1862 gross tons, make .l2ns knots, are of steel construction, and carry 12 passen- gers.
 Because of the hurried return trip to Seattle, 50 tons of freight for Sitka, including a 26 foot V-bottcm boat hull and three goats, will be sent to Sitka via the Estebeth. leav- ing tonight or tomorrow on a special charter.
 Inbound passengers today were Oscar Knight Oliver Knight, Cora D. Irwin, Mrs. R. N DeArmond and baby. and H c. Dunlop.
 Scheduled to sail south tonight with the Tongass are Mrs. Rex Chit tick, Mrs. H. D. Smith and Dave Femmer.

CONYOYS EFFECTIVE

The second trick was to use light cruisers and destroyers to convoy freight ships.
 German submarines might cross the Atlantic and sink ships right at our dooryard We would have to patrol the three-mile limit. Be- yond that point British ships would have to take over. Canadian sirplanes could aid them in spot ting submarines, a fairly easy job from the air.
 Nearing England, the ships would meet German submarines and bombers as well, There would be losses, particularly if Germany had such control of the air that she could maintain a fleet of bombers operating out into the Atlantic from a German base.

not so good England repented and bottled up the commerce raiders it was building for the Confectionery. After the war a treaty was written providing that it would be viola ton of international law for a neutral nation to build Warships for a belli9erent nation.
 But does the same law apply to military airplanes? Sources in the Navy. which is much concerned about such things. think that war vessel is a war vessel, whether it flies or floats.
 Of course if the present neu- trahty law remains in effect, air planes could not be shipped any way, but critics of the totalitarian nations want the law revised to permit England and France to buy all the planes they want here provided they come over and get them.
 That raises another question. How well could England an d France, with their big navies pro- tect their supply ships out in the Atlantic?
 Rather well, say U, s. Military students The U. s. taught England  TWO tricks during the World War One was to lay mine barrage be- tween England and Norway to block that northerly outlet from the Baltic.
