Col. Lawrence CBif) Jones, West
Points graduate manager of ath-
letics, has informed the Senate
Military Affairs Committee that
scalpers will find 1t difficult to OBJ
tain Army-Navy football game
tickets this year because the official
demand was SO great no tickets were
available for the general public.
Senator LANCER. Republican, of
North Dakota, raised the question
of scalpers a couple Of weeks ago
in the Senate when he said "specu-
lators, race-horse touts and scalp
ers" were demanding $25 and $50
for the tickets.
Jones replied to a letter from
Acting Chairman Edwin c. john
son of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee. He pointed out that
"eradicating scalpers was well nigh
impossible" but that the Academy
had done everything in its power to
prevent tickets from falling into

As Big Hope Against Cavaliers

After resting over the week end.
the Maryland football squad was to
get back to work this afternoon with
the realization that it will be a dis
tinct underdog to a great Virginia
eleven in Griffith Stadium Saturday
but determined to make the dopsters
look bad.
Old Line scouts rate the Cavalier
outfit, unbeaten in its last IA games,
as at least 25 per cent stronger than
any team on their schedule this
year. They report Virginia as hav-
ing by far the most versatile attack
of any college outfit they've seen
this season with shifting defense
that offers five, six and seven man
lines with backf1eld arrangements
that embrace most everything in
the category, including a 3-2-1
setup.
Granting Virginia's superior pow
er, the Old Line coaches see ray of
hope in the psychological angle of
the game. Virginia, one of the four
undefeated major teams in the Ma
ton and a bowl probability If 1t
beats Maryland and Carolina. has
much at stake while Maryland has
all to gain and nothing to lose.
