There are black eyes and heavy

Team honors went to the National
Guard in the senior class and Pete's

Five KnockOuts Scored.
Five knockouts punctured the pro-

District college quints are down

ican University at Tech in a game
that definitely will be played, while
Catholic University Is scheduled to
visit Western Maryland II the team
can get through.
Maryland was obliged to turn
back yesterday after starting for
Chestertown and game with
Washington College because Of the
binding snow and dangerous roads.
A car driven by Jack Faber, as
sistant coach, was in a collision
and others failed to reach the ferry
at Annapolis. Washington College,
incidentally, telephoned Is minutes
after the squad departed on the
hazardous trip, requesting cancel
lation of the game.
American dropped a 44-30 de-
cision to Georgetown in their first
game before the Christmas holi-
days, but Coach Staff Cassell has
polished the rough edges OF his
crew since and expects to square
matters tonight. The Eagles at
tack will be woven around Carl
Byham, 6-foot-4-inch center, who
played havoc with the Hoyas be-
fore being ousted on fouls In the
first game. Byham's supporting
cast will include Hugo, Schulze.
Webb. Etchison, Morrison and Reese.
Georgetown's big threat is ex-
pected to be George Pajak, sharp
shooting forward, who is setting a
burning pace for District scorers at
this stage of the campaign. Pajak
was mediocre in the earlier part Of
the season, but has averaged IL
points a game in the last five con-
tests.
The varsity game at $3.50 will be
preceded by q preliminary clash
between Georgetown Frosh and

Ships in Buenos Aires
Guarded After Bombinq

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, June 13.-Spe-
cial guards of maritime police to-
day were assigned to all ships OF
belligerent nations in Buenos Aires
Harbor as result of the explosion
of two time bombs last night aboard
the British royal mail freighter
Gascony, which killed an Argentine
stevedore and injured five others.
The bombs apparently had been
placed to sink the ship at sea. The
first, in the center hold, smashed q
fuel tank and blasted hole in
the 4,7l6-ton freighter's side, while
the second explosion occurred In
another hold. The ship probably
will have to go into drydock.
Maritime officials, who said this
was the first case of sabotage in
the harbor since the start of the
war, ordered all persons of the Gas
cony and made thorough search
for additional bombs in the ships
cargo of large cans of timed meat
At the same time they halted load
ing operations on other British ships
until they could be searched, ano
broadcast warnings to British ships
at sea to hunt for bombs which
might have been placed on them
One explanation for the appar-
emily premature explosions aboard
the Gascony was that cargo dropped
into the hold might have set of
the bombs.

For an hour they are allowed to

never relaxing supervision. Strict
rules prevail at the pool. Each child
has a card with his name on it at
the side of the pool. When the red
side of the card is up, the child is
in the pool. He turns the white
face of the card out when he leaves
the pool. The children also 60 in
as "buddies" or pairs, keeping to-

can count them more readily.
It's off to the showers at 4:30 pm.
Supper at $50 is followed by a long

shoes, the baseball and the volley
ball. For the smallest youngsters,
there is tag to play and ring games.
Sing Around Campfires.
When dark comes, the children
gather around campfires, singing,
telling stories and making plans for
their projects. Sometimes they
roast marshmallows or meet in the
