It's not bad idea to know your
,hostesses If you want to cut a con-
spicious figure in Hollywood's party
land. At one time an introduction to
the sacred portals of Pickfair was
all you needed for your Hollywood
debut. The Duke of Kent chose
this entry when he came here as
Prince George. More lately it was
Mrs. Basil Rathbone whom you had
to konw for the biggest and best
party invitations. But Mrs. Rath-
bone has soft-pedalled on the par
ties since the failure Of her last
when the rain washed out all her
beautiful snow and ice background.
And besides. parties for parties
sake are old-fashioned just now.
They must have a motive. Which
makes 1t easier to attend them. You
just buy ticket and have the
double satisfaction of helping a good
cause as well as dancing in fashion,

current worthy" affairs are Ms.
Charles Boyer. Claudette Colbert,
Mrs. Ronald Colman and Merle

If you like and understand "art"

At Cukor's exclusive Sunday break

For those gals who know nobody
who knows some one'-there is
still hope Of corralling attention
and possible success. Go to the big
premieres wearing startling get-up
the crazier the better. The camera
boys will snap you first and ask,
"Who is she?" Publicity is the life
breath of Hollywood social success
So If you can get it by wearing a
stove-pipe or stocking on your
head, don't hesitate. I've seen
many a weirdly dressed woman

method of breaking into society is

Murphy's Absence Hurts.

with Rutgers last Saturday would
have given Maryland a 63-63 tie
with its host and a victory would
have given 1t the meat. But Joe

and at least place second, failed to
appear at New Brunswick and Cor
don Kluge was left at home with
an ailing knee. Kluge might have
gotten the necessary points in the
javelin, but Murphy was considered
lock to win his event.
Eppley hasn't heard from Joe
since Friday when he departed fol

Jersey. He was to motor the 10t

Brunswick in time for the games
Saturday. "Swede" figures he took
a look at the nasty weather and

himself, and the Terp coach has

Basket Date Awards
Keep Chicago in
Big Ten Group
Statement by Hutehins
On Athletic Viewpoint
Appeuses Directors
BY TOM SILER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


CHICAGO, April % The Univer-
sity of Chicago, subject Of q whis-
pering campaign ever since inter-
collegiate football was abandoned,
still is in there pitching for the re-
mainder of its sports program.
President Robert M. Hutchins told
the athletic directors of the Big
Ten yesterday what he had said
and what he had not said about
intercollegiate football at Chicago
and elsewhere, clearing the air of
many charges and counter-charges.
Directors Were Miffed.
After Chicago explained its posi-
ton the athletic directors voted
unanimously to give ,the midway
institution a place on their basket
ball schedules for the season OF
1940-41. To have declined to sched-
ule the Maroons would have meant
virtual ostracism from the circuit.
The directors, in meeting March
9, refused to complete the basket
ball schedules until they heard
from Chicago. Some of them plainly
were miffed over remarks attributed
to high Chicago officials. An "un-
known spokesman" for the trustees
had been quoted in the newspapers
as saying a winning football team
could not be produced in the Big
Ten without cheating the rules.
The directors asked if this senti-
ment was expressed by school off,
cial and. If so, that the institution
either offer proof of rules violations
or apologize.
Hutchins Restates Stand.
A letter from Hutchins, presented
to the directors yesterday by T. Nell
son Metcalf, Chicago's athletic di-
rector, said:
"On the subject Of subsidization
in the Big Ten have said in public
and private only this: To achieve
the peculiar advantages of winning
football, the University of Chicago
must, under its conditions. subsidize
players. The intercollegiate confer
ence Chg Ten) has a sweeping rule
forbidding subsidization. The uni
versity does not want winning foot
ball at the cost of violating that
rule"
The directors deferred drawing up
schedules in any other sports until
their next meeting May 24-25, dur
ing the outdoor track meet at
Northwestern University. The di-
rectors awarded the 1941 indoor
track meet to Purdue University and
set the date for February 28-March
l, a week earlier than usual as a
special favor to the Illinois relays.

matches and track meet we're on

same program for tomorrow.
American University furnished
most of the home competition today,
with its baseball team playing of
a postponed game with the Wilson
Teachers on the East Ellipse, its
track team playing host to William
and Mary and its tennis team enter
tanning Catawba at Columbia Coun-
try Club. In addition, the Eagle

Virginia trips. The Colonials are at

and v. M. I. tomorrow. Maryland

A special treat for college baseball
fans looms for tomorrow, when

Whoever made the draw for posi-
tions in the Penn Relays coming up
Friday and Saturday at Philadelphia
did Metropolitan Washington squads
no favor, for in all but two races
Washington men will be far on the
outside when the starters gun sends
them away. This is exclusive of the
Mason-Dixon Conference relay, in
which American University drew
No. 3 position and Catholic Uni
versity, No. S.
In the featured mile college cham
pionship, for example, in which
North Texas State drew the pole,
New York University's cinder- -scorch-
ing crew was placed 7th, Georgetown
9th and Maryland 18th. This means
the team on the pole and those
close to it will have decided ad-
vantage, for it is the custom at Penn
Relays to keep men in their starting
lanes, forcing outside teams to run
as much as 20 yards farther than the
pole team. Few quartets, regardless
Of proven ability, can give away that
much ground in competition of this

Burden on Georgetown.
Georgetown, carrying it further,
may have to travel full yard more
than N. Y. us team, and George
town bettered 800 only once during
the indoor season, while the Violets'
team of Jim McPoland, George
Hagans, Harold Bogrow and Jim
Herbert hung up a world indoor
mark of 3:15 at Dartmouth last
month. A yard can be as good as a
mile in a close finish when inches
sometimes are the difference be-
tween victory and defeat.
