ton narrowed down to battle for
the 1941-42 honors between Amer
lean Brass and Chase Metal, the
all-important match of the mid
season is scheduled for tonight
when Chase and Brass tee off at

which is apt to become most i'm

though a great deal depends upon
what happens tonight.
A clean sweep by Chase would
give the team a nice, safe two

Brown University's basketball
team, beaten only once this season,
a team quite generally ranked as
one of the most outstanding in the
East, comes to the Payne Whitney

be another hard one for the Ellis
who were unexpected set back by
Penn last Saturday. Brown has

Sheffe, who has been a high scorer
for the Providence team all winter.
Sheffe Is the man who tied up the
Harvard game with there seconds to
go, forcing the game to overtime
during which Brown won, in one of
the best games Of the year.
Coach KEN Loeffler of the Yale
team put the Ellis through an in
tensive workout yesterday, after
noon. The team, still handicapped
by injuries hopes to create somewhat
of setup by upsetting the team
which beat Harvard, who in turn
defeated the league champion,
Dartmouth. Whether 1t can be done
depends somewhat on the physical
condition of the starting five and
their substitutes who will be in
action tomorrow night.
Loeffler plans to start Art Wight
man and Ingley in the fore court
with Norton in the pivot post and
Captain Seelbach and Vogt in the
back court. Frank Kearney who is
third high scorer in the league so
far with q points, will get in the
game early. The game tomorrow
will start at 7 o'clock and will be
followed by a game with the Pratt
and Whitney Trainees of Hartford,
against the Timothy Dwight College
of Yale. 1t will be possible, there
fore, for patrons of the Varsity bas-
ketball game to take in the Yale-St.

players including Pete Grace, Stew

tet. Princeton will be represented
by Bob Bordley, Bob Burke, while
Harvard men in the st. Nick's group
will include Fred Moseley and
Stacey Hulse. JUNE Merriam of
Dartmouth is slated to play wing
position. This will be one Of a SER
les Of two games between Yale and
the st. Nick's, the other being
scheduled for February at Rye.
1t is expected that Gig Carton,
Yale's scrappy lineman will be in the
fame for the Ellis. Carton has been
on pro but it is thought that 1t Will
be all right for him to play tomor-
row night. Ace Pike soon to leave
Yale, will be in his regular place
at left wing. Yale has lost the
services Of Hugh Wallace, left wing
on the third line, who has left col
lege to join a governmental service.

Baltimore Gasoline

Single Days Supply
Closing Of Pipe Line
Three Weeks Ago
Brings Pinch This Week

Following the closing of a pipe
line which supplied much of the
citys needs, Baltimore is facing a
critical gasoline shortage, the Asso-
ciated Press reported last night.
The pipeline, owned by the Sim
clair Oil Co., extends from Marcus
Hook, N. j., where the company has
a large refinery, to Sherwood Point
on Curtis Bay. The line was closed
ABOUT three weeks ago because of a
shortage of crude oil at the New
Jersey refinery.
One major wholesaler in Balti-
more reported yesterday the city's
storage tanks were virtually dry.
Though gasoline stations reported
Sufficient fuel was on hand to sup
ply motorists Sunday, q spokesman
for an association representing ap-
proximately 300 retailers in the
Baltimore area stated that the
pinch would become tight" on Mon
day and Tuesday.
A spokesman for another whole
saler pointed out that much of the
city's gasoline had been coming to
Baltimore by this pipeline since the
curtailment of shipments by sea
following United States entrance
into the war.
Representatives of the dealers here
handling products of the Sinclair
Oil Co.'S subsidiaries expressed the
view last night that closing the
pipeline would not affect the local
gasoline situation. In addition to
the New Jersey refinery, they ex-
planned, they obtain gasoline sup
plies from half dozen other points.

The Navy announced yesterday that

81 Inland Vessels
Being Built 10 Speed
Fuel Oil 10 East
81 Coastal Tonkers
And IS Borees Slated
To Go Into Service

Nearly 100 small tank vessels
adaptable to the inland waterway
transportation of fuel oil to Middle
Atlantic and Eastern States are
under construction, the Maritime
Commission revealed yesterday.
They are part of a construction
program of several hundred small
vessels to keep the war supplies for
the armed forces moving and to fill
vessels. which are being rushed to
completion, include both self-pro-
PEELED boats and barges.
Thirty-tWo of them are coastal
tankers, many of which soon will
be in operation. Twelve are being
built on the Great Lakes, IL on the
Gulf Coast and eight in Atlantic
yards. The tankers are about 200
feet long with capacity of 1880
barrels. Because of their small size
and maneuverability they are well
adapted to shallow-water operations.
IS Barges to Speed Oil.
The commission said that trans
portation of vitally needed oil will
be further facilitated by IS REIN
forced concrete oil-tanker barges
now under construction at three
newly. built shipyards. These YES
sells are $50 feet long with a capacity
of about $4,000 barrels. They are
now expected to be used principally
to transport medium density fuel
oil. such as is burned in homes and
small industrial plants.
More than 40 shipyards and plants
scattered along the coasts of the
United States, the Gulf and the
Great Lakes are engaged in this
program. In addition, practically
all privately owned vessels have
been requisitioned and are being
converted to some type of war serv-
ice. Within recent months more
than 1000 ships of 1000 tons or
less have been taken over by the
Government. Many of the small
sized coastal vessels have been taken
over and now are being used in
overseas transportation service.
The commission further stated
that it also is building 26 reinforced
concrete dry cargo barges to operate
between the United States and Latin
American countries. and "a self pro-
PEELED reinforced concrete freighters
for the same purpose.
Seagoing Tugs on Order.
To handle the cargoes, the pro-
gram includes specially designed
seagoing tugs 200 feet long. These
tugs are said to be among the larg-
est and most powerful vessels of
this type ever built. About so are
on order and many are nearing
completion, according to the COM
mission.
