When member schools of the Pacific
Coast Conference give free tickets
to their varsity football players they
don't intend those ducats to be sold,
a faculty representative of the big
Far Western circuit emphasized
today.
The faculty group, in annual sum-

to give football players the option
of receiving tickets or the equivalent
in money.
1t went further. 1t indicated the
code would be amended to prohibit
sale of the free tickets, a problem
which has been before the faculty
men for years, but which never has
been specifically outlawed.
Varsity squad members receive
four complimentary tickets for home
football contests and two for other

BALTIMORE, Md, June 13.-
Following drills here yesterday, the
Southern lacrosse line-ups for the
game with the Northern picked
squad at the Baltimore Stadium
tomorrow night were named by
William H. Dinty) Moore of Navy,
who is chairman for the Dixie group.
Coaches Jack Faber of Maryland
and Avery Blake of Swarthmore sent
the stickmen through the PAGES.

that likely will start and three on
the other combination, although
they are not designated as first and
second teams.

All-America Places at Stake.
Many all-America selections are
likely to be determined by the
game, goalie being one of them. This
is about the most uncertain place,
with Turner, Fairlamb, Kelly and
Passano all being in the running. II
there is any edge at present 1t ap-
pears to be held by Turner.
Every member of the Selection

The water, he said, liberated

"A 1oo-pound bomb of this

bomb of the type now used by
Great Britain"
The cost would be about 30 cents
a pound instead Of the present

Hart related that he discovered

that once he orders an attack.

and utterly could lead to grave
consequences for Germany and fol

vers who have watched the rise Of
Hitler. at close hand have Judged
hat a great defeat at arms might
rock him as fascist army disasters
on two fronts evidently are shaking
his Axis mate. Mussolini.
1t is possible that revival Of the
invasion-of-England theme stems
from Italy's plight in Libya and
Albania. It may be designed to
stir up new public demands in Eng
land for recalling naval and air
forces from the Mediterranean;
and to offset the effect of fascist
defeats on a long inactive Nazi
army scattered along the continent
tai coast.
Full word of those Italian set
backs unquestionably reaches
much of that idle German army.
It makes Nazi boasting of Axis
military invincibility sound rome
in the ears of Nazi troops who
know what has happened to 1tal-
ian comrades.
It also may be that Nazi leaders
actually take the possibilities Of a
complete Italian collapse far more
seriously than is indicated by their

That Germany must attempt in

virtually stripped Of her offensive
powers as a German ally. A COM
