Hickman, Old Line Ace
Last Year, Is Named
Cavalier Co-Captain

An underdog Maryland team,
which is determined to upset the
dope, and fast-traveling Virginia
eleven will meet tomorrow night in
Grinith Stadium in Washington's S
lone collegiate football game of note
this season. Action starts at 8:l5.
Despite the fact that Virginia, on
comparative records, Is heavy
favorite, the contest is one of old
rivals that usually is close and hard
fought no matter what has preceded.
The battle gives the Cavaliers a
chance to get on even terms in a
series that was begun back in 1919
and which now has become an an
nual classic. Maryland has won
nine Of the past 10 battles, Virginia
eight and two have been ties. There
never has been scoreless game.
An unusual angle to the contest,
that could happen only in wartime,
is that Bill Hickman, who toted the
ball for Maryland last year, is slated
to be co-captain of the Virginia
team. He's a Navy trainee at Char
lottesville. Coach Frank Murray is
sweet on Hickman's playing but he
also doubtless is starting him for
psychological reasons.
Played Every Game for Terps.
Hickman played in every game
for Maryland last year to easily gain
his M" starting the first two con-
tests and appearing in a reserve
role in the other seven and was a
big factor in helping the Old Liners
to win four of nine tussles.
He has earned high recognition for
his play at Virginia, too In fact,
he is the second best ground gain
ing back for the Cavaliers, having
reeled of 205 yards in IS tries. This
is just fraction less than 6 yards
per try. He lost ground only on
one run and that was a mere q
yards. He also tossed a pass for a
10-yard gain.
John Duda is Virginias ace ball
toter, having picked up 453 net yards
in 78 attempts and scored 10 points

In a recent announcement, Penn
sylvania State game officials warned
ammunition dealers, as well as
sportsmen, that rife ammunition
of Government manufacture, par
ticularly the 30-30 (some of which
Is being sold hunters) may not be
used lawfully to hunt game of any
kind in Pennsylvania. Those of you
who plan a deer hunt in the Key
stone State this year, make sure
your ammunition complies with its
laws. The Government cartridges
contain full-jacketed bullets, which
are not only dangerous and unlaw-
full in Pennsylvania, but subject the
user to heavy penalties. Your bullets
must be "all lead or lead alloy, or
soft nosed or expanding bullet or
ball"
The long-awaited WPB order au-
thorizing the resumption of produc-
ton OF shotguns and rifles has not
caused many dealers to dust of
their gun cases as they know it will
be some months before civilian small
arms can begin to roll of produc-
