u. OF MD. FOOTBALL TEAM
ROUNDING INTO SHAPE

Aided by twice weekly scrim-
IMAGES with the Washington Red
skins, the University of Maryland
football team is rounding into shape
and should be ready for the first
game with the Curtis Bay Coast
Guard on Sept. 25
Practice sessions in the past few
days have been speeded to include
more body work. AS far as posi-
BILE, joint workouts will continue
with the Redskins to give the unex-
periened Marylanders taste of real
competition. In a scrimmage this
week many of the squad were put in
against the Skins and showed sur
prisingly well against one of the
top flight grid aggregations in the
country.
Most of the men out for the Liner
squad are light and inexperienced,
but incoming freshmen are arriving
daily and have bolstered the squad
considerably. Out of the group of
aspirantS on hand now, Doctor
Spears has fashioned three teams
which function in the daily scrim-
images as unit. Although the
teams are still subject to many
changes, several players already
stand out as sure bets for the Var
sity.

Chaplain Helped Attu Wounded.

OHdpidlH uelpeu ALLu WOun0ed.
Chaplain julius S .Busse, report
ing to the War Department on his
service in the Attn campaign, said
the chaplains had many opportuni-
ties to help the wounded. Chap
lains, he said, should travel light.
IF you are not loaded down there
are many times when a tagging sol
dier can be helped with his load and
if you have heavy load you can't
support wounded man." Every
chance he had, Chaplain Busse said,
he filled his pockets with ID" ra-
ton and few packages of cigar
cites for the men. Troops appre-
ciate the presence of a chaplain in
the tense moments awaiting orders
to advance" he said. Chaplain
Busse, native of Des Moines, Iowa,
was commended for his courage and
service in combat by his command
ing officer While the chaplain was
aiding the wounded, two bullets
passed through his raincoat, and la
ter bullet smashed his eyeglasses.

A wife sued for divorce at Knox

sions were listed as rifle and a
goat. Her attorney asked for the
rifle in return for $11 he loaned her
to pay costs in filing the suit. The
goat, sought by the wife as perma-
nent alimony, disappeared before a
court order caught us with it. Any
way, she got the divorce

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

liicI lllplG pldy llldb lOIlilly Lilies
hit into last week may be another
record for the Interstate League.
In a Southern League playof1
game last Monday between the New
ORLEANS Pelicans and the Nashville
Vols, the Vols hit into a triple play
that also started in centerfeld. Lar
ry Gilbert, manager of the Vols, and
Roy Blades, manager of the Peli-
cans, both oldtimers, commenting on
the play, said that it was the first
triple play they had ever seen that
started in the outfield.
l am going to dig down into the
record book and will let you know,
next week, what l find out.
Well the pennant race is over, but
there's still the playoffs, so get down
to the Stadium tonight and show
Manager Bobby Maier and his gang
that you appreciate the fight they
put up and that you are pulling for
them to cop the Governors Cup.
This scribe is not in the habit of
throwing bouquets all over the lot,
but you can't get around the fact
that Orren Sterling not only gave
the people of Hagerstown a chance
to enjoy Americas most popular
sport all season, but he also gave
them a first division club, that, with
a little luck, would have won the
pennant.
And here's something else. In
spite of the pleasure driving ban
and consequent much smaller
crowds than last year, owner Orrin
Sterling was always ready to dig
down to get help for his club. 1
happen to know that, in the closing
weeks of the pennant race he and
business manager Bill Kerstetter
burned up the wires trying to get
OFT from Buffalo, to bolster our ov-
erworked pitching staff It wasn't
money that kept Sterling from get
ting help for his club, it was just
question of not being able to dig up
ball players that might have helped
the team
And while on thl subject, I'd like
to throw in a word of praise for the
Owls pitching staff.
Angstatt, Maggie, Miller, Rankin
and Morgan deserve a lot of credit.
They worked in turn and out of
turn; started games one night and
came right back in relief roles the
next; and they took their defeats
just as hard as if they were playing
in the big time.
All in all, we had a darned good
ball club, and this scribe, who, like
a good many other grandStand man
ayers, didn't always agree with the
teams strategy, takes his hat off to
Bobby Maier and every member of
the team.

PAGEANT OF PETERSBURG OUTSTANDING

The realization Tuesday evening April 20, of what had been a la Dor of love of many years duration, was experienced in Petersburg with the. presentation of Mrs. John AL lens musical pageant of the his- tory of Petersburg.
 Begun as one section of a larger Alaska Pageant" sponsored by the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, the Petersburg section as presented was fresh and sensitive ly poetic interpretation of the spir- it and history of the Scandinavian town
 Given in the Coliseum Theatre, every seat was filled, Dr. and Mrs. J. o. Rude, who went down for the event in their boat, report after re- turning to Juneau.
 Opening the program, the school orchestra led by R. Griffin played group of semi-classical numbers which were very well received, while the pageant itself opened with the realistic rFishernlen's c orus," made up of an excellent chorus of full mems voices, the singers dressed in oilskins and carrying long net which they brailled in ef- fectively as they sang lustily. Seat ed at the back of the stage the chorus formed an effective back ground for the remainder of the pageant numbers.
 Two solos by Arne Lund, Be cause We Are Free" and Our Pret- ty Girls" were excellently done, as were the fighting choruses W Stands for Viking and Victory and Viking Fighting Song" In the Victory number, high school stu dents in white slacks and sweaters with blue V on the backs, exc cuted some intricate maneuvers.
 An accordian interlude by Jac- queline Hemnes was followed by the chorus All Good Americans" which showed the transition from native land to American and the change in mood and allegiance.
 Albert Heimdahl described the early history of Petersburg, follow ing which a colorful folk dance, the girls in remarkably beautiful authentic old country costumes, dis played truly professional schot- tische steps.
 The Grandniother's Song. 4The Purple Hills of Norway" captured poignantly the homesick longing of the older emigrant who still looks back with strong loyalty to home ties. However it ended in robust laughter, when the reminiscing grandmother is whirled off in spry dance by her entirely Americanized grandson, and the old lady's red wool stockinged legs twinkle through the intricate steps. Grandmother was played by Mrs. Evelyn Welde.
 Choruses Happy Petersburg, The Pounding Fathers l"Ameri- cans Alp' and the grim war mood of Men Behind the Guns,' which were given in succession, highlight- ed the moods and history of the town and ended pertinently on the threshold of today Mary Allen, daughter of the composer, accom- panied the numbers on the piano.
 Following the pageant, composer Mrs. John Allen was called to the stage where she was greeted with enthusiastic handclapping and pre- sented with a big bouquet of rose- buds, tulips and daffodils.
 Mrs. Allen, who will soon cele- brate her 79 birthday, is one of the most loved of Petersburg citizens. An ardent lover of flowers as well as of music, the Allen home Green rocks is a bower of flamboyant bloom from early spring until the heavy frOStS arr;vp
