with a ecord-breaking crowd on
hand is "relax-go boating" But,
today for hundreds of exhibitors and
statesmen order of the day is "hold
your hat--here comes the kids"
The small fry were lined up before
the doors of Grand Central Palace
several hours before the regular
IL am. opening today.
I They were itching to get inside to
see the nautical wonderland, tc
Chamber over the many boats of all
sizes on display and-best of all
to collect many of the numerous
circulars and pamphlets extolline
the craft and marine gadgets on
display.
The lucky youngsters who got in
last night started the ball rolling by
snatching up literature on every
conceivable subject. But, as one
salesman put it: why not, aren't
they the yachtsmen of tomorrow
The show, the first since 1941, got
underway shortly after 7 o'clock last
night, with the traditional trill of
a bosun's pipe from group of
American Bluejackets, a nautical
organization of New York Juniors.
In a matter of minutes, boat
hungry visitors were swarming
through the four floors of the packed
palace. A. total of 222 exhibitors

latest in marine paints to 46-foot
cruisers.
The show, which sponsors said

Austin Lawrence, who wears No. 13

the ball and netting a layup to tie

Terps' Form Reversal
Floors Favored 6. W.
In Upset Of Season
BY MerreII Whittlesey

Burt shipley, veteran Maryland
basket ball coach who early in the
season said he didn't want any
publicity because then nobody would
know about it if he had q losing
team, today was praising the fellows
he hoped would neglect him.
Wonderful, wonderful" Ship said,
"and thanks to the guys who said
we had poor club, that we didn't
have a chance, that we were setup
and not, even a practice game for
G. w. thanks to them, we went out
there and played inspired ball to-
night and won one they thought
we couldn't win."
"Ship" was referring to Maryland's
44-43 triumph over George Wash
ington that will be the biggest
spectacle of the Basket ball season
in this section, regardless of what
happens from now on. On paper,
on the records and on past per-
formances, George Washington fig.
ured to win from here to next week.
But the only resemblance between
the Maryland team that played last
night and the inept one that was
seen in six previous games was in
uniforms.
ShipIey's Gamble Pays Of.
Shipley gambled by playing two
ex-Bethesdans, Johnny Shumate
and Bob Keene and alternated them
with Footballers Tommy Mont and
Vic Turyn and the gamble paid of.
In place of his usual mass and fire.
quent substitutions, Shipley used
only seven men.
In case anybody is walking around
today under the impression G. w.
won the ball game, their reasoning
is justifiable. In the absence of a
gun and in the mass histeria Of
4,300 screaming spectators, only a
few heard the final whistle and most
people thought Barry Kreisberg's
tap in won the game for the Colo
malls. But Barry's tap was a split
second too late, as G. w. Coach Art
Zahn and the G. W. timer concurred.
There is no doubt that G. WIS
comparative setup schedule to date
proved a liability and earned
rating over the teams ability. 1t
was only G. WIS second tough game
in nine starts and it couldn't shake
the Maryland players that wound a
web about the G. w. defense. And
G: w. couldn't do much about Bill
Brown, the rugged Kentuckian who
tossed in 18 points and played as if
he owned the territory around the
pivot.
G. w. Loses Cantwell.
G. w. had the outstanding player
on the floor in the anbidextrous
Jim Rausch, but the Colonials' big
men were pretty well tied uu by
the hustllng Old Liners. zai1n was
disappointed by G. WIS oHense, but
received his greatest shock in the
dressing room when Trsiner Doc
Lentz informed Zahn that Bill
Cantwell probably would be out for
q long time with an ankle injury.
Cantwell was hurt early in the
game.
The Colonials had horrible per-
centage under the basket as they
made only a few Of 10 layups and
IL rebound shots The Colonials
made is of rs. shots. Maryland 16
of 70, but the Old Liners did most

Danes 10 Call Election
AS Government Falls
Over Sch|eswig Issue
Premier Loses Vote
OF Confidence Because
Of Views in Speeches
By the Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 4.-Pre-
mier Knud KriStensen, whose
minority government fell today,
was granted permission by King
Frederik TX to call new elections.
No date was set, but it was gen.
orally expected they would be
held October 30.
The Premier paid a formal call
on the King to inform him of the
crisis, precipitated when the lower
chamber of Parliament cast an 30
to-66 vote of no confidence on res
olution criticizing Mr. Kristensen for
his attitude on the South SchlesWig
question as voiced in speeches out
side Parliament.
The King had ordered the lower
chamber dissolved to prepare for the
new elections. Under Danish law
Mr.. Kristensen's middle-of- -the-road
government will remain in power on
a trusteeship basis until election re-
suits are announced. Then 1t will
submit formal resignation.
Premier Named in 1945.
Resolutions of no confidence had
been offered by the Social Demo-
Gratis, with 48 seats in the lower
house; the Communists, with ID;
and the Radical Left Party, with H.;
representing together a majority in
the 149-seat house. The Radical
Let's resolution was the one
voted on.
Mr.. Kristensen-appointed Pre-
mier November 7, 1945, as successor
to the Social Democrat Wilhelm Burl
is the first Premier to have served
under King Frederik. who succeeded
to the throne last April 20 on the
death of his father, Christian K.
Mr.. Kristensen's Liberal Party
also known as the Farmers Party
won 38 seats in the 1945 election
and formed a minority government,
because no single party had a ma
iority and no coalition were forth
coming.
Now Part of Germany.
South Schleswig, which has been
a controversial issue for some time
is in Germany just south Of the
Danish border.
The Danish government notified
Britain October 13, 1916, that it did
not demand the incorporation OF
South Schleswig into Denmark for
the time being" but left the decl-
sion to residents of South SchlesWlg.
Mr.. Kristensen voted for the note
in Parliament, but in public speeches
he proclaimed his opinion as pri-
vate individual' to be that the posi-
ton assumed was insufficient and
that a date should already have
been set for a plebiscite.
Parliamentary opponents main
tanned that a Premier did not possess
the right to express views contrary
to those adopted by Parliament and
himself as Premier.
