Monday Quarterback
MARYLAND, 81; Va, Tech, 19.

MAI yldIu, va SCN, l0s
The grand showing by underdog
Virginia Tech should silence alumni
criticism of Coach Jimmy Kits.
He certainly fired up the Gobblers
for this one. They played over
their heads for three periods and
almost had the ball game until
Maryland staged It's last-period
comeback and scored two late
touchdowns. For much of the way
the Old Line attack was stymied
by an inspired and hard-charging
Tech line.
Finally, it was Vic Turyn's pass
ing that swung things in Mary
lands favor. He was hitting re-
ceivers all afternoon, and they
eventually started holding onto the
ball. Vic is a cool passer under
fire and was at his best at Blacks
burg Saturday. He completed nine
of l8 tosses for 1873 yards and two
touchdowns, and set up the other
with passes. Vic also is something
of a fancy ball handler as a T
-4ol lHldtlOIi QudIIcTUdCk.
What actually made the differ
ence in the scoring column was
the three successful placements for
point after touchdown made by
Maryland's Tom McHugh. Until
Saturday that was one department
in which Maryland was weak. Ed
Schwarz was the placement kicker
most of the early season, but con-
'verted only three times in 10 at
tempts in three games. McHugh
made good on his only try against
Duke, and then hit those three i'm
portant ones in a row against the
Gobblers. C. H.
Miami, 2S: G. w., 7.
The principal after thought to the
Colonials' fifth straight defeat was
not in the score or how they lost but
the fact that two college football
teams that had won one game
between them drew a crowd o1
Is. .746 to the Orange Bowl in Miami
The college football promoters ir
Washington could take a lesson
The fans in Miami turn out ever
to see losing teams because they gel
the little extras that help make u.
a pleasant evening.
In addition to lavish half tim.
show, there was something doins
throughout the game. A figure
dressed as George Washington hov.
cred near the G. w. bench, accom-.
panied by buddy who was tht
Spirit Of '76. When the game cap.
tains walked onto the field, they
were escorted by two pretty co-eds
ard blanket was presented tc
G.W.'s Carl Butkus. ..
The call to colors preceded the
National Anthem with an American
Legion guard doing the honors. AT
halftime the Miami band formed
a head of George Washington and
played Hail to the Buff" The
next maneuver was to spell out
Hurricane with flaming M OF
majorettes in the center.
The field then was surrounded by
majorettes from 5 to Is years OF
age in white halters and shorts
while so more ran onto the field
with flaming batons and the lights
were turned out Red flares en-
circled the field. They had a cannon
for Miami touchdowns and q siren
that sounded the end of a period
In all it was a refreshing sight

Disability Claims
 Of PrisOners-Of-War

The Veterans Administration has indicated that it is giving special consideration to disability claims of prisoners-of-war who have any reason to believe that they are suffering from a disability result ing from their confinement.
 Veterans who have filed such claims and have had them denied are now advised to make applica- tion to have their cases reopened.
 Veterans Administration Rating Boards have been instructed to give priority to all prisoner-of-war claims, and each such veteran may obtain a comprehensive physical examination to determine the ex tent of his disability.

 Now to union labor, here are some figures which should amaze and startle:

 Sir:
 There are many ways to show how undemocratically unrepre- sentative the Connecticut House of Representatives is.
 One way is this: The eleven largest towns in Connecticut have 52% of the Connecticut population. and these eleven largest towns have equal House legislative power {22 votes) with the fourteen dD smallest towns in Connecticut having .0045 or .45%-less than ene-half of one per cent = Of the Connecticut population!
 Another way: If all the House districts be arranged by their pop ulations in arithmetical ascending order. it will be seen that the first 137 districts of then-iust bare majority of all 272 districts-have 6.3% of the Connecticut population. Hence it Is possible to construct a majority of the Connecticut House based on only 6.3% of the states population. Hence 6.3% of the peo- pie can outvote and rule the other 93.7% of the people Of Connecti- cut!
 Still another way: Connecticut has B towns over 10000 in pop ulation (of which New London, Groton, and Stonington are three of these 33). These B towns have 77q6 of the states population, and have 2496 of the vote in the House. Hence the other 23% of Connecticut has 77qo of the votes lin the House.
 Towns with over 1O,0O0 in pop lation get representatives at the ratio of one to each 19,939; while towns under 1O,OOO get representa- lives at the ratio of 1900-or 103a

 What perhaps pleasant news to us all in the Labor Movement spelling the actual return to free collective bar gaining the Presidents desire to do with possible of the presidential wartime restrictive and dc tatorial powers There no doubt that pow will be retained until the last treaties signed with hostile powers and "al clear war officially over signal is given from the White House.

 The President went to great lengths to describe the harmful ursdctiona disputes strikes between the crafts but neglected that the AFL Executive Council has already taken that by the horns and has prom sed strengthening out of all such disputes through just mediation board of their without loss of time the jOb hold up of operations.
