DecisiveIY Tough
Prey Of Terps
Explorers Encounter
Strong Contenders
For Dixie Honors

College boxing goes on a mass
production scale in this precinct
tonight.
At Brookland Catholic University
squares away with the United States
Coast Guard Academy in search of
its second victory of the season. AT
Turner's Arena Columbus Univer-
sity's gladiators meet the challenge
of The Citadel. Both engagements
start at 8:15.
Unfavorably compared with Mary
land after last weeks triumph over
Lock Haven Teachers, the Cardinals
hope to whip the Coast Guard by a
larger margin than the Az -3l2 edge
eked out over the same team by the
Terps. Coach Eddie La Fond's boys
would like to win by an 80 count.
Even So wouldn't be so bad. La
Fond, however, is willing to settle
p for a single point-if c. U. wins
at all.
Columbus Making Debut.
Columbus, making its 1941 debut,
will settle for victory at any score.
The Explorers are going up against
a potent Southern Conference eg-
gregation and know it. The Citadel
dropped a one-point decision to
Virginia Tech last Wednesday night
after forfeiting the 120-pound bout,
and Tech is supposed to have one
of its strongest teams in recent
years.

165 pounds with Lou O'Neil, the
Tony Galento of the Coast Guard
squad ONeil repeatedly packs a
wicked right and although wild, is
dangerous. He lost to George Pyles
of Maryland
Cody, big, willing chap, is so
green LaFond is afraid the veteran
Fred Goettel may be too much for
him. Cody never has been in a
formal bout while this is Goettel's S
third year Of competition. The
c. U. rookie is aggressive, however,
and will have damaging, straight
left jab to support his morale.
Coast Guard Leaders Attend.
The official Coast Guard party at
tending tonight will include the fol-
following: Mr.. Herbert CASTOR, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury;
Admiral R. R. Waesche, comman-
dant, United States Coast Guard
Admiral L. C. Covell, assistant COM
mandant; Mr.. Charles Schwarz, Dr.

Columbus is reported to have the
best collegiate light-heavyweight
ever seen In Washington in Red
Doherty and his debut Is awaited
with interest. Doherty is said to be
the Billy Conn of the coIegians,
fast as thought and good punch
er. He meets rugged G. P. Joseph.
The other outstanding Explorer is
Lou Taub, a featherweight, who has
appeared better than ever before in
training. Taub was bothered by a
lack of weight last winter but this
year is hitting 124 pounds and has
more strength and endurance as a
result
Columbus will present several new
faces in it's lineup and all come well
recommended. Heavyweight Ray
Weir, senior welterweight Frank
Cuddy: lightweight Joe Gerry and
bantamweight Charley Rohmer are
a few. While this team is reported
strong in spots it does not appear to
shape up as well, as whole, as its
predecessors.

Three New California
Stars Add zestto
MiIIrose Meet
Georgetown, Maryland
And Washington A. A.
Well Represented
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. lon the
theory that it takes fresh blood to
maintain the public's interest from
one season to the next, the Millrose
Games Committee has imported
three young Californians for to-
nights track meet, which opens the
Madison Square Garden season.
The records speak volumes for the
combined abilities of the threesome
Paul Moore, once of Stanford, who
has run the mile better than 4:l2;
Harold Davis, national outdoor
sprint champion from Salinas
Junior College, who hit 9s for the
100 when still in high school, and
Bob Madrid of Fresno State. out
door junior 5000-meter champ.
None Likely to Win.
But, indoor running being a spe-
cialized type of competition, it's a
pretty safe bet that none of the
three will be listed among tonight's S
winners. None has run in Garden
meet before.
Moore has been built up as lad
who likes to set the pace, which
means he may get himself adjusted
to indoor conditions by leading the
Wanamaker Mile pack through a
fast three-quarters. The winner
should be one of three-Walter
Mehl, John Munski, or Chuck
Fenske, who hasn't won yet this
season but took this race in Garden
record time of 4:07.4 a year ago.
Davis. who ended the 1910 win
ming streak of Penn States Barney
Ewell in last summers nationals, has
been matched with the Negro flyer
at so yards and 300. Bad weather at
home restricted the California lads
training to 20-yard sprints in a
lettuce shed.
Terps' KehOe Tries Again.
Madrid figures to be little more
than an added bit of color in a 2
mile field that virtually is complete
merely through the presence of Greg
Rice, indoor record-holder and win
ner twice in Boston this winter.
The two Indiana sensations, Roy
Cochran and Campbell Kane, will
risk their seasonal winning streaks
in the classic Millrose 600 and the
half-mile, respectively.
Georgetown, Maryland and the
Washington A A. will be well repre-
sented. The Hoyas are sending a
team against N. Y. U. and Pittsburgh
in the top mile relay on the pro-
gram. Maryland will match strides
with Manhattan, Indiana and Ohio
State in the medley of mile and
-eighths.
Kehoe, second to Campbell Kane
in four races this year, will try again
to beat the Indiana's great middle
distance star. Kehoe is slated to
run in the $50 and 1000-yard spe-
cial.

POOLING THEIR BRAINS

We've heard a lot about shortages
in the defense program. Silk, copper,
aluminum-the list is growing. But
we haven't heard much about the
greatest shortage of all-the shortage
of facts. Facts about taxes, strikes,
priorities, price control and other vital
problems affecting business in the
midst of the greatest upheaval in the
history of private enterprise. Ameri-
ca must have such facts. That's the
only way we can solve the complex
problems ahead.
The Congress of American Industry
being held in New York next week by
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers will be big step toward pass
ing the facts on to the nations indus
trialists, large and small. Men in the
know about current business problems
are going to get together and thrash
them out. They have big job ahead
of them, but the fact that they're pool
ing their knowledge and experience in
this congress indicates their determi-
nation to solve their difficulties with
speed and accuracy.

Baltimore had so many forts in the
breastworks ring around the city that
they ran out of names and used num-
bers to designate them. Citizens, and
especially Southern sympathizers and
Negroes were hauled off the streets
to work on the bikes and embank-
ments. Baltimore also had at least six
military hospitals and a dozen or so
camps. Fort Federal Hill menaced
the city as well as potential Confed-
crate invaders, and old Fort Nc

On the Eastern Shore We're camps at

In the western part of the State,
there were fortifations overlooking
Harper's Ferry, at Sandy Hook, mile
below; at Camp Hicks, near Freder-
lex; barracks in that city and a camp
at Monocacy Junction. There were
camps and hospital at Cumberland
and hospitals near GAINESVILLE and at
Mount Savage.
In 1909, Fort Howard was erected
on the North Point battle-ground of
1914. Fort Hoyle is on the Gunpowder
River, Edgewood Arsenal and Aber-

Camp Meade rests on historic
ground patented to Maryland's early
colonists. During the first World War
about 100000 soldiers passed through
Meade, as many as $4,000 being there
at one time. After the war, a tank
school and a bakers and cooks school
were established there. For a brief
period it was called Fort Leonard
Wood, but now it is Fort Meade, a
brick and fame city covering $4,000
acres, with its own postoffice, theatre,
clubs, bakery, stores, as. we'll as its
own sanitary, water, garbage disposal
and telegraph systems.

Goose Or Duck Makes Attractive Hol-
iday Dish

For the family that chooses goose or
duck for the traditional Christmas din
ner, it is helpful to remember the fol-
lowing suggestions, according to Miss
Margaret McPheeters, specialist in
nutrition for the University of Mary
land Extension Service.
Both the duck and goose are fat
birds, so it is we'll to be cautious in ad-
ding fat to the stufing. Celery, parsley
and onion are used as seasoning veget-
ables, and among the herbs, savory,
thyme, sweet marjoram and sage are
favorites. Other good additions to the
duck or goose stufing are dried april
cotes, prunes, raisins and tart apple
cubes candied with suger.
Put stufing in both the neck and tail
cavities, but do not pack it. Then,
draw the skin of the neck to the back
and fasten it with string or skewers,
and sew up the opening under the tail.
Tie the legs and wings close to the
body with string that crosses at the
back where the marks will not show.
Start roasting the duck or goose
with the breast down on the rack of a
shallow pan, without water and with
out cover. Roast five or six-pound
young duck at moderate temperature
1850 degrees F.) for to 212 hours,

Farmers Planning
Larger Food Crops
Maryland Growers Are Respond
ing to Nation Wide Appeal
For Increase

Maryland farmers are responding
in generous degree to the nation
wide appeal for increased production
of food required by the defense pro-
gram, according to H. H. Nuttle,
chairman of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture State Defense Board.
A survey being made of all farms
to explain needs for greater produc-
ton Of certain crops and animals in
1912 indicated farmers planned in
creases of those requested by the gov
eminent. The survey is about one
third complete. Final results were eX-
uected to be available about Deem
Der /. The survey is being made in
this county as in other counties
throughout the state.
Preliminary reports show greater
increases than those requested were
being planned by farmers in produc-
ton of milk, eggs, hogs, beef cattle,
turkeys, tomatoes for canning and
soybeans. Farmers are being asked to
plant an adequate garden on every
farm, an increase of seventeen per-
cent.
Farmers were asked to increase
milk production six percent Farmers
replied with seven percent. They were
asked for seven percent increase in
egg production. They replied with six
teen percent. Fifteen percent more
hogs and ten percent more turkeys
were wanted. Maryland farmers in
tend to raise twenty-nine percent
more hogs and forty-five percent
more turkeys.

or until the breast and thigh are tender
when pierced with skewer, roast a
10 to II pound young goose at 325
degrees F. for to 4 hours, or until
tender.
Ducks and geese are fat enough to
be self-basting, but they must be
turned about every half hour to get all
the parts cooked evenly. If the bird is
very fat prick the skin during the
roasting to allow the fat to drain out.
Slicing the breast correctly is a
simple trick and makes for successful
carving. First remove the leg and wing
on the side nearest you-just as for
any other bird. Then make deep cuts
in the breast (about two inches apart
through the skin and flesh and down to
the bone Start these cuts at the ridge
in the middle of the breast and have
them go down the side at right angles
to the ridge. Then lift out the sections
of the breast meat and you will have a
layer of Drowned skin and rich fat on
top of each. Repeat the carving pro
cess on the other side of the bird.
