For Contests Today

A couple of Maryland teams will
invade enemy territory tomorrow
when the diamond squad goes to
West Point for a game with the
Cadets while the lacrosse ten
journeys to Penn State for what is
expected to be a tune-up match for
Saturdays important clash with
Princeton at College Park.
Meanwhile, Georgetown and
Catholic University were keeping
the collegiate pot boiling today with
a couple of ball games. The Hoyas
were after their second victory of
the season over American University
in game slated for $3.50 at the Hill
top while the Cards were to enter
tain Bridgewater q half hour earlier
at Brookland.
Should BE Great Duel.
The Tigers and Terps are the only
undefeated teams left in the lacrosse
title scramble as result of the
formers AZ upset win over Johns
Hopkins last week. Maryland's S
elimination of Army in a previous
match cleared the way for the de-
cisive engagement and on paper the
teams are as evenly matched as a
couple of pennies. Both bowed to
Mount Washington by identical
scores, SD, In a fray that had no
bearing on the collegiate laurels
and their performance against this
star-studded outfit indicates it'll be
a hell-bent-for- leather fight with no
quarter asked and none given on
either side.
Penn State, beaten by Navy, 8-5,
in its first start, came back to
wallop Cornell with one of its finest
exhibitions in years. The Lions
performance was a gentle hint that
Maryland will have no 1873 romp
such as it enjoyed last year, but viii
have to hustle.
Finale Of Field Day.
Saturdays tussle with Princeton
will be a fitting climax to the annual
field day program at College Park
that incorporates a Maryland-Duk
varsity track meet with the usual
schoolboy hooflng. The affair be-
gins at high noon and is supposed to
be over at 4 o'clock when the stick
men come on the field.
For good measure Old Line off,
cials are tossing in a tennis match
with North Carolina at 3 o'clock
and ball game with Washington
College at 2:30.
Dukes thinclads include a quarter
of grid greats in Cedric Lofts, Mof-
fett Storer, Steve Lach and Bob
CAN'T. Lach is expected to hook up
in shotput duel with Tiny Horn
in one of the varsity features. He
won the Southern Conference indoor
championship with record-shatter-
ing heave of Al feet 61a inches last
February and has hopes of bettering
this mark outdoors.
Storer, dash man, was fourth
in the 60-yard sprint.

6. W. Undefeoted in 81
Matches in 3h Years

Probably the hottest collection Of
collegiate tennis players In the coun-
try will exhibit Its wares in this
bailiwick this week when North
Carolina comes out of the pine-cone
country for a four-match Northern
swing. The Tar Heels open against
Maryland at College Park next Sat-
urday and wind up their tour
against George Washington the fol-
lowing Wednesday.
The invaders record over a three
and-a-half-year period reads like a
typographical error--62 consecutive
victories. In all, the Carolinians
have hammered out 212 decisions
against defeats and 2 ties in the
Is years Coach John Kenfleld has
been at the helm. That's an aver
age OF .972, or enough to get by on
in any league.
Long Streaks Mark Record.
This isn't the first extended win
ming streak North Carolina has en-
barked on. Back in May, 1929, the
boys unsheathed their glorifled fly
swatters and began forging link
that was unbroken until May, 1884,
during which time they checked in
with 81 triumphs and a tie. Again,
between May, 1885, and the same
month in 1888, the Tar Heels racked
up So victories against a single tie
for another long reign of success.
The racketers who hung up those
records really could play tennis, says
Kenfield, who rates the current out
fit the weakest team in several
years. Harris Everett and Ham An
thony, only regular holdoyers from
last year; Harold Mass, a soph,
and Jack Markham, reserve last
year, are the squads four leading
players.
Everett boasts an unsullied three
year record in singles competition
with 80 consecutive victories. He
and Anthony have won the South
ern Conference doubles crown two
years in a row and are favored to
repeat this spring. Anthony's singles
record shows So victories against 4
losses.
Kenfield Shines as Coach.
Carolina goes against Yale, Prince
ton and G. w. in that order after
tangling with the Terps and ac-
tually expects to get run for the
marbles against its Big Three op-
ponents. But those who know Ken
field are confident he'll pull an
other trick out of the bag to save
the chestnuts If the Eli or Princeton
fire gets too hot.
Kenfleld has been turning out
winning net teams at Chapel Hill
since 1928, when he signed as goli
as well as net coach. He gave uI
his links rcle In 1884 when the uni
versity expanded its athletic staff
to devote all of his time to tennis

Day after day, the publication
states. they are patroiing both
Atlantic and Pacific coasts TO as

justifying the faith placed in them
by naval airmen.
To the navy'S K-type blimpS is
given much of the credit for the
remarkable decrease in sinkings OF
American ships. From May IA to
July Ia, for example, 1,1O5 ships
were moved in conveys up and
down the Atlantic, and of these
only two were sunk by enemy tor
pedoes or shells. Since then the
total number of sinkings has de-
creased so consistently that Amer
lean marine insurance underwrit-
ers have reduced their rates twice
within "A month.

In Crashes War Workers

With night traffic accidents

portion TO those occurring during
the daylight hours, street lighting
manufacturers urge municipal and
state lighting engineers to main
tain their present Illumination on
the nations thoroughfares, and to
increase il in localities where war
industries have created serious

Reports from motor vehicle
commissioners and state police

daylight traffic deaths was not
being accompanied by a similar
decrease in night fatalities. In

rose 10 per cent, while daytime
deaths decreased % per cent.

This Is not usually true OF

Either the shaft or cylinder is

ing accomplished simply by the
