LOS ANGELES, May ?. up -
Venerable Dean Cromwell will use
everything in the books when his
University of Southern California
track squad goes out to avenge last
years one-sided defeat at the
hands of the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley Saturday.
That loss last year was the first
dual meet reversal suffered by the
Trojans since veteran Dink Tenn
pletcn's Stanford crew turned the
trick by a three-point margin in
1898, and the first by the Golden
Bears since 1924.
California. minus its 1943 aces
Gordon Klemmer, blonde, bronzed
quarter mile champion, and flying
Hal Davis. fastest sprinter of the
40s will be a decided underdog to
southern Gals squad. loaded with
individual stars but lacking in all
around strength.
But you'd never believe it to hear
the moaning dean. We don't have
a chance" Cromwell cried. Sure
we have several stars. but it's those
second and thirds that decide a
track meet. Look what happened
last year"
THOSE MOANS ARE OLD
Those close TO the athletic scene
at use. have heard that song
before. Last season was the first
time in years that a Cromwell pre-
dicticn came true, but, even so,
the cagey maker of champions is
taking no chances this year.
If worse comes to worse, he'll use
his 19-year-old iron man Al Law
renee in five events. The blonde
freshman handy man usually COM
petes in the high and low hurdles
and broad jump, but if things are
going bad late in the afternoon
Cromwell will throw him in the 22O
yard dash ana poe vault.
The Trojans chances Saturday
hinge on the performance OF the
slim naval trainee Lawrence. He
appears headed for snap wins in
the hurdles with marks of 14.7 and
23.8 posted this season, far better
than anything Coach Al Ragan's
Bears can offer. His % foot mark
in the broad jump tops the Bears
best this year, and his l3 foot pole
vault mark stands him a fair
chance in that event.

LOOKS LIKE A WINNER

LOOKS LIKE A WINNER
Some of the niblick waverS who
figure they have themselves firmly
ensconced in the first and second
flights of the Barbara Worth tourn-
eys had better start looking to
their laurels Hugh R. Jantzen, new
Security Title manager, played the
club course in 78 last week. He said
the course is an excellent one, but
tough, which means he'll concen-
trate on doing better. Don't say we
didn't warn you.
WE'RE ASKING YOU
Somehow it is difficult to put our
finger on the reason for the eXcep-
tionally small turnoutS OF fans at
the Sunday baseball games. The
last three games played at the Ell
Centro stadium drew smaller croWoS
than should be expected of a city
this size. Especially when one con-
siders the fact that little recreation
and entertainment is offered ON
Sundays and when one would be-
lieve that local people would well
come economical entertainment
within walking distance.
THERE'S TALENT HERE
1t is interesting to know that
the coast leagues as we'll as a rep
resentative of the St. Louis Browns,
who last week equalled the consecu-
tive win record in the major leagues,
have secuted valley baseball play
ers. Whether they have seen any
thing is purely a matter of conjec-
ture We do know that young Jerry
Womack was asked to try out with
the Angels, and that a couple of
other high school players have been
given the eye. Womack is 16 and
has demonstrated, during his sea-
son with the Ell Centre Merchants,
a team comprising youngsters most
ly, that he is good material and he
certainly has our nomination to
the western team of the All-Ameri-
can boys baseball team to be sent
east to compete in Esquire maga-
zines Living Memorials" game in
August. The game will honor A
merican heroes of this war both
living and dead. Another boy who
has been looking good on the Spar
tan team is Noland Harvey. To be
eligible the boy must not have
reached his 18th birthday by jan
uary l, 1914.
GETTING UP STEAM
Next Monday night Clyde Lee,
president of the summer softball
league, will call the managers of
the teams into conference and set
up the league schedule as well as
iron out other problems. Umpires
are being sought for the games
which will be played four nights
week, Mondays, Tuesday, Thurs
days and Fridays. Extra games will
be played at the Holtville air sta

Two Former D. {. Priests
Finish Chaplain Course :

Two Catholic priests who were
stationed in Washington at one
time, Father Michael F. McPhelin,
S. j., and Father Alban G. Sheehan
were to be graduated today from
the Harvard University Chaplain
School at Cambridge, Mass.
Father McPhelin taught in the
Army specialized training program
at Georgetown University before
joining the Army about four months
ago. He previously had founded the
Manresa Retreat House on the
Severn nea- Annapolis, where
weekly retreats were held. 'Ie was
origin-lly from the Aurie5villc, N. Y.
diocese.
Father Sheehan CT the Oblate
Fathers, studied for the priesthood
at the Oblate Scholasticate, 39l
Michigan avenue NE, and was Or
dained at st. Dominic's Church in
1925 by Archbishop Curley. He
came from Essex, N. Y, in the

country, predicts that if air freight
rates can be cut to cents per ton
mile, fresh produce alone will furn-
ish enough air cargo to total 233
times the combined weight of all
commodities so carried in 1941. The
scent rate, the study says, is fore
seen by many authorities as possible
In the near future.
But. even though air rates remain
substantially above those of other
carriers, it was concluded that air.
borne fresh fruits and vegetables
will be available in the Capital after
the war.
The study, under way for more
than a year, was financed by a
grant to the university by Col. Ed
ward S. Evans, president of the
Evans Products Co. It was carried
out with the advice of the Agri-
culture Department, shippers and
dealers, and covered prospective air
traffic in fresh fruits and vegetables
between their main production
areas and 10 large cities-Wash-
ington, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Atlanta, New York,
New Orleans, Los Angeles and San
Fr2ncisco
A special analysis of the prospec-
tive traffic to Washington reveals
that at rate of cents, $500 900
ton-miles of fresh produce will move
into the city by air. OF this total,
vegetables will furnish 2,750,00O ton
miles, the leading candidates being
lettuce, with 1,274 900 miles; to-
matoes, with 5000, and beans,
with $4,000.
The leading traffic potentials in
fresh fruits are Strawberries. with
500 900 ton-miles; contalouples, with
$1,000, and grapes, with $4,000. A
total of 765,0O0 ton-miles is indi-
Gated.
In terms Of carlots, the study
shows that in 1941 Washington re-
ceived a total of 1850 carlots of
fresh produce. OF these, 10,701 came
from points more than $50 miles
away, California furnishing 2,379
and Florida 2.811. At cents ton
mic, it is eStimate:l thas about 2
per cent of the 10701 figure, or 214
carlots, should move in by air. At
cents, this figure would increase
to 6 per cent, or by the equivalent
of 642 carlots.

out and carefully rehearsed. The
browning of the May Queen, Anita
Brown, will be followed by a series
of dances representing various
countries.

tivity going on back of the scenes
and in the halls.
