Terp Nine Scores Again as Ten
Subdues Princeton in Thriller

Maryland staged its last double
header of the season and it's final
home lacrosse clash of the campaign
at College Park yesterday and it was
a happy occasion, particularly be-
cause the stick outfit ended it's long
est losing streak in history by SUBJ
DUNG Princeton in overtime, 1910
1t was more or less routine for the
Old Line ball team to win another
Johns Hopkins being the victims
1876, for the tenth triumph in a
dozen battles.
That gratifying lacrosse win, after
three losses in row, was the eighth
time the Terps scored over the Tigers
in nine contests and was the most
stirring between the two since the
Old Nassau ten licked Maryland at
College Park, 1910, in 1912 and took
the national collegiate crown.
Hot Battle All Way.
1t was a nip-and-tuck battle all
the way and it was f1ashy piece of
individual work by Charley Williams,
second defense man, that turned the
tide for the Terps. With the score
10-all and with the overtime. period
all but gone, he raced almost the
length of the field to score the win

500 Boys, Is Schol
Listed for C. Club
Games Saturday

More than 500 boys, representing
Is schools, have been entered in the
28th annual &C" Club track and field
meet, one of the biggest. oldest and
most colorful high and prep school
events in the country, which comes
up this Saturday at Central High
Stadium.
Baltimore Poly, which won the
meet in 1912, has filed the largest
entry of 81 athletes in this annual
assault on time and distance.
Schools from as far away at Phila-
delphia and Newport News also are
sending top-notch runners and field
men and more numerical superiority
is no guarantee that Poly even will
be among the leaders when the meet
ends next Saturday. Locally. Will
son has the largest representation
with IS.
Despite the large number Of en-
trants, it's not likely that many,
if any, records will be broken. The
closest any one has come to a rec
ord in recent years was in 1943. when
the high hurdles time of 1874 seconds
was equalled. Techs Ed Barham
was the last one to break a record
when he high jumped feet, S
inches in 1941. Many Of the other
figures have stood for long periods.
The 100-yard record of 81 has stood
since 1924 and many of the other
marks are more than 10 years old.
One of the special events again
this year will be the baseball team
relay, first tried last year and which
proved popular. In this race four
members of the schools baseball
team, dressed in diamond uniform
and wearing baseball spikes. each
will run the distance of a home run,
120 yards.

Flying Jeeps' Given
Bigger Role in Army
After War Workout
By A. A. HoehIinq

The Army's flying jeeps" are here
to stay.
Impressed with the wartime per-
formance of its reconnaissance and
liaison light planes-the ugly duck
lings of the air-the Army Air
Forces has placed orders for new
models, spokesmen in the Pentagon
revealed yesterday.
Thus the "grasshopper" fleet
tried out before Pearl Harbor only
as a hearted experiment-will
become as integral part Of our
postwar air arm as the more spec
tacular jet fighters and 10,O00-mile
bombers.
The Navy, on the other hand,
which never had the same need for
"grasshoppers" as the Army, is SELL
ing about one-third of its total num-
ber of light planes, and the remain
der will be used largely by the Ma
rine Corps. No orders for new planes
are anticipated.
New Model Being Built.
Being built by Consolidated Vultee
in San Diego for the Army is new
model known as the Lib. 1t will
carry four persons including the
pilot, and will be assigned to AAF
staff work.
The Boeing Aircraft CO. in Wich-
ita, is constructing model known
as LIS, which will carry one passen-
ger and the. pilot. 1t is expected
that it will be assigned to ground
forces.
Both types will be faster and have
greater range than any others OF
the general type used before. None
has been delivered as yet. So far
as is known. they will be OF con-
ventional high-wing design with
fixed landing gear. Other charac-

teristics, Or quantities ordered, have
not been revealed.
The Army employed more than
1000 light planes during the war.
How many are left the AAF will
not say. Hundreds OF well-Worn,
battle-weary ones, however. have
been declared surplus, sold, or
junked.
The remainder of its original fleet,
the AAF says, is still serving lin
all theaters," including Alaska and
Japan
Types still in use include the
La, or Piper Cub; the LIZ, or
Taylorcraft; the L-3, or Aeronca;
and the LIS Sentinel made by
Vultee.
All account of their wartime ac-
tivities is contained in book to be
published in December called "Jeeps

Ten Eyck.

He describes the service the

Conventional purposes included

surveys, ambulance work, flying post
Offices and quick transportation be-
hind the lines, particularly for rank

"Grasshoppers" are credited with
at least two kills in the European
theater. Fast German fighters at
tacking the tiny aircraft at low alti-

quarries.
