BushneI's Eastern intercollegiate

Washington are the only schools
importing officials, and the home
town whistle-blowers haven't the
heart to ask the others for boost
But they're frying because the
Georgetown and the Colonials pay
out-of-town arbiters $25 and ex-
penses and still hold District men
to $3.50 when they work-which is
infrequently.
The tall, handsome gent an

the Maryland-C. U. fight ducats,
which are scaled at their customary
level.
Maryland's diminutive mat coach,
Joe McDaniels, who has held more
titles than a couple of broken-d
foreigners, is rumored headed for an
athletic instructors role in one of
the Nays three new training acad-
emies. One of the reasons Joe's
grapplers aren't doing so well Is
the unexplained absence Of Roy Nc
Neil, ace 175-pounder, who may be
ineligible for competing in intra-

Error Makes Schwagel Happy.
Rome Schwagel Is congratulating
himself for accepting 81 dozen ten
mis- balls, the result of typo error
on the order sheet, before the pfiori-
ties people clamped down on rubber.
Georgetown will need them and use
them. North Carolina has 10 dozen
in stock and no chance of getting
more and Schwagel can reap
handsome profit if he chooses to
resell his supply to the sportSing
goods concern.
George Washington has no trepi-
dations about Monday nights game
with st. Johns at Madison Square
Garden, even though the Colonials
never have won a game there. They
lost to City College and Long Island

batting an even 500 in six games
against the Indians, incidentally,
and has three-two edge on Chick
Lapchick, the Johnnies present
coach.

gear and gnawing their f1ngernails
to the elbows before the final whistle
of the campaign ended hostilities,
with Schmarr the winner, 1876 to
1913.
Travis, fairly raining leather on
the hoop, threatens to make run
away of the current chase. He holds
substantial lead, gives no hint
OF slackening his break-neck pace
and has the benefit of a longer
schedule than Zunic. But Mad
Matt will gain honor enough for
his modest self by hauling down
Forrest Burgess an-time G. w.
scoring record of 544 points and
hoisting new one of approx
mately CTS, basing the figure on his
average of IA points a game.
Schmarr's three-year record is
unavailable, but Joe Joers, C. U.
Tower sports editor, generously
comes across with his Junior year
mark of 260 points, still standing
as the all-time District mark at a
late hour this morning. That would
give Herman 453 total for his last
two years of varsity competition,
and adding another 200 points,
which isn't stinting, for his soph-
omore year would make grand
total Of 653-still not enough to
match the potential totals of either
Zunic or Travis if they continue
at their furious PAGES.
Zunic's ultimate record sounds
plausible enough. but Travis pos
sible all-time tally scars into fam
tastic figures and makes Schmarr's
mark pale into insignificance. In
IA games he ripped the cords for
223 points, an average OF nearly Is
a game. At that hasty gallop he's
a mortal cinch to rack Schmarr's
season record wide open and very
likely break 300. He still has eight
games ahead. On that basis, fig
uring on normal improvement as a
junior, he'll rack up at least as
many more next year and posi-
bly, get even better in his senior
season. In our McGuffey's that adds
UP to 900 points.
Stretched over a three-year per-
iod, during which Maryland will
average 10 games a season, Travis
might consistently score 16 points
a game, which isn't a beggarly
figure in any competition. Perhaps
next year or the one after, if the
boys are still heaving inflated cow
hide and not hand grenades, some
unheralded sophomore with a sharp
eye will come along and give him
a run for the scoring laurels. Then
we'll see a real battle. But at the
moment the turkey-necked Terp
is in a class by himself. and the
trick isn't done with slide rules.

Not single case of malaria has

DR.. Felix ]. Underwood, State Health
Officer, announced today. "Impor-

Underwood declared, "in view of the
fact that a diagnosis of malaria au-

days."
The State Board of Health and
county health departments backed by
the United State Public Health Ser
vice, are waging an intensive cam
paign to get the jump on malaria
in war areas, according to the
health officer. Briefly, the plan is
based on control of adult mosquitoes
and mosquito breeding areas within
a mile radius of a militray cantone-
ment," said DR.. Underwood. This
area is subdiVided into zones, with

Check is kept on mosquito infes-
tation explained the health officer,
by maintaining catching stations and
dipping stations; adult mosquitoes ta-
ken form the catching stations indi-
cate the prevalence of malaria mos

According to the health officer

The State Health
Officer Says:

Again DR.. Thomas Parran, Sur
geon-G General of the United States,
makes an appeal for physical fitness
of civilian population. The purpose
of this campaign is to develop a
strong, vigorous, and courageous
people needed to endure long, hard
war and the difficult readjustments
which will inevitably follow.
Since heart disease is the prime
killer of the nation, this crusade to
make us fit to fight stresses con-
servation of heart energy of people
in middle life. In Mississippi, as in
the nation, heart disease ranks first
in causes of death; $3.50 Mississip-
plans died of this alment in 1941.
Using your head to conserve your
heart is a patriotic bid for physical
fitness. Here are few suggestions
that will help ration heart energy:
Strive for a balanced plan of liv-
ing with plenty of sleep Cat least fiji
! ty hours week. and recreation. Tx
ercise for recreation should not be
strenuous enough to produce short
ness of breath, chest pains or undue
exhaustion.
Avoid exercise Immediately after
meal.
Learn to do things in a leisurely
fashion. Don't hurry and push.
Cultivate and practice the art of
complete muscular relaxation.
Don't eat too much or in a hurry.
"Emote" less and think more.
The prevention of heart disease is
based on sound principles of well bal
anced living, with emphasis on mod
Grafton, equanimity and conservation
of energy through the middle and lat
er part of life.
