Underdog Terps Fly

Duke Tomorrow
BY Q Staff Correspondent Of The Stef

95 CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. Oct. IL
The University of Maryland's foot
ball team was due here early this
afternoon-it's flying down from
Washington-in readiness for to-
morrow's game against Duke at
Durham. The Terrapins will be
guests of the University of North
Carolina whose Tar Heels are on a
trip North" to play William and
Mary tomorrow
The Terps will find the Blue Devils
substantial favorites. Although the
Dukes this year have no really out
standing back, they do have a line
believed capable of stopping just
the kind of ground attack the Old
Liners have used with such success
in three previous games. Maryland's
team presents an almost opposite
picture: A line that permits sub
stantial scores from opponents but
some really good backs. headed by
Lu Gambino, able to run up greater
totals.
Aerial Defense Is Good.
Maryland's aerial defense also
is excellent, but its own passing
attack has been weak. 1t has
the throwers, but not the catchers.
Maryland finished heavy work for
the Duke game at College Park
yesterday and no workout was
planned this afternoon. All that
remained between them and the
Blue Devils was short skull session
tonight. Much of the time yester-
day was spent on dummy blocking
drill. defense against punt and kick
of returns and in taking a final
look at Duke plays as worked by
the junior varsity.
Over at Durham, 20 miles from
here, the Dukes also wound up their
heavy work yesterday. Coach WAL
lace Wade gave the Blue Devils a
taste of everything they can expect
from the Terrapins. He told his
players they can expect lots of tricks
from one of the most clever groups
of ball handlers Duke will meet this
season.
May Have All TailbackS.
Yesterdays workout at Duke also
indicated that chances are good the
team will be able to call on its full
group of tailbacks for the first time.
George Clark, Howard Hartley and
Rollo Hodges have been slowly re-
covering from early-season injuries
shd have Joined Fred Folger and
Hob Frye in running through Blue
Devil plays.
1t is definite. however, that the
line will not be up to par as Tackles
Al Derogatis and John Karmazin
are on the sidelines with more seri-
Gus injuries and will not get into
the Maryland game. Tackle Louis
Allen, Center Fletcher Wall and

Sc, has discovered employers are
not the only ones these days who
have to worry about picket lines at

down in front of his house, wearing
placards, none of them exactly COM
plimentary to him.
Further inquiry disclosed the line
was formed of boys, who used to play
ball in the small court OF Friendship
House, which faces Mr.. Erbeck's
home. He had recently asked the
police to stop the game, after the
boys had proved their batting PROV

nothing against boys or baseball
It's just that he got tired Of hearing

Government S Foreign Aid
Buying Policies AssaiIed

Representative Harrison, Demo
crat, of Virginia wrote Secretary Of
Agriculture Anderson yesterday that
there is developing "deep-seated
and widespread public protest
over Government policies in pur-
chasing food for foreign relief.
Criticizing the failure to Use spr-
plus poultry. Mr.. Harrison wrote
that the Agriculture Department is
selling "at dump prices" turkeys
purchased as part of the price sup
port program.
These turkeys were purchased ut
80 per cent of parity and the parity
price for poultry is less than the
cost of production" he said. Dump
ing these turkeys will further de-
press the poultry market Purchase
of grain for export will further raise
the cost of production of poultry.
"All this being true I cannot un-
derstand how it can be that the pur-
chase Of grain and beef can produce
more food for the dollar than poul-
try" do for foreign relief.

Britain Will Request
u. ). 10 Relax Terms
OF Loan Agreement
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Britain is
asking the United States to relax
further the terms of the Anglo
American loan agreement to ease
the drain on her borrowed dollars
and tighten her economic plight, a
Government informant said yester-
day.
He reported that Britain was
asking change in the $3.50. 900 900
loan clause which prevents her
from increasing imports from the
sterling bloc" Dominions at the
expense OF imports from the United
! States.
Britain wants United States ap-
proval to step up British purchases,
especially of food. from the Domin-
ions where she could pay in her own
currency. Her purchases in the
United States have to be paid for in
borrowed dollars.
On July q. the United States ap-
proved a slight relaxation Of the
agreement permitting Britain to buy
more from her non-Self-goverine
colonies end less from the United
States. Such dollar-conserving steps
coincided with an emergency pro-
gram of smaller armed forces, less
food and more work being readied
by the Labor government.
AS one means of cutting foreign
expenditure, the Foreign once an
nounced urgent" consideration was
being given to decreasing or with
drawing British garrisons in Greece
and Italy. The Foreign Once spokes-
man said, however, he was mot
aware" of any decision to reduce
the British occupation force In Ger
many, now estimated at 10000 to
300 900 men.
The spokesman said the United
States Government was being con-
suited on the matter Of British troop
Withdrawals from Greece and Italy
but such a withdrawal from Greece
did not necessarily imply the send
ing of American troops there In
stead. Other informsnts said the
implications of Britain's policy prob
ably would be debated by the joint
Anglo-American Staff Board in
Washington.
Publication Of Britain's heavily
adverse balance of trade figures for
the second quarter Of this year in
dicated that any men freed from
overseas military duties might be
used in boosting domestic produc-
tion-the major point in Prime Min
lister Attlee's recovery program.
Britain's exports rose 1880, ,0O0
pounds ($62, ,0O0, ,00O over the pre-
vious quarter, but the statistics
showed deficit of 191 ,0OO, 900 pounds
($764, 900 ,OOO because the value OF
imports was the highest for any
three-month period since 1920. The
value of imports for the quarter was
456 900 900 pounds 1881 1924 ,0o0, 600.
Well-informed sources said Prime
Minister Attlee will disclose to the
House Of Commons next Wednesday
the details of immediate and large
scale cuts In food rations, some Of
which already are more meager than
during the war.
