Might Jump We
By Lewis F. Atchison

"Sure I ran on my high school
track team-me and three other
fellows" said Edward Patrick
Matthews, bending over a shoe
lace. And we won the State
Championship. I was in 10
events that day and didn't win
anything, but ! placed in nine of
them. Missed out in the shot
put"
So the saga of one of Mary
lands brightest track stars goes
back to Immaculate Conception
High School in Jacksonville,
Fla, and. winds through steel
ribboned railroad freight yards
at Baltimore, Md, down to Col
lege Park. Where it will end
nobody knows, but Ed hopes the
postmark will be: Olympic
Games. WembleS Stadium, Lon
don. He's touted as a standout
candidate for the United States
team by critics who know run
ming piece of stuff when they see
it.
II hope they're right" says
Ed. I'm going to try and I'm
brushing up on the hop-skip-
and-jump just in case I miss
out in the 400 meters. They
still have the jump in the Olym-
pics-have it in the nationals,
too-but you don't hear much
about it because it draws so few
entries. Kitty Risk, my high
school coach, told me as 4 fresh
man I might some day win the
jump in the Olympics and I've
never forgotten it. But I'd even
push peanut around the track
to be in the Olympics."
Experts who've watched Mat
thews' long strides devour Gin
ders and pound the boards are
thinking of him as runner, not
a contestant in trick event like
the jump. He's % year old, 6
feet /, $50 pounds and should be
near his peak Certainly last
weeks anchor performance on
Maryland's record shattering
mile relay team at the Carolina
relays was proof enough that Ed
can run with the swiftest of
them.
THE boys fooled me COM
pietely," confessed Coach Jim
Kehoe, no slouch at a middle
distance in his own undergrad
uate days. Il clocked Ed at about
48,8 in the mile and about 48.6 in
the distance medley and when a
man does two 48s in one day, he's
good-real good. If Ed holds
that pace, they'll have a hard
time keeping him out of the
Olympics. When you do 48 you're
knocking on the door and when
you shave it to Al you're in"
Maryland's mile quartet chopped
and chopped is the word-9
seconds off the Carolina relay
record when it went the distance
in 3 minutes and 81 seconds, but
Matthews denies that a little
brown mongrel dog made him
speed up. This was the pup that
ran out on the track. nipped him
on the heel and made him break
stride in the Southern Confer
ence 440-yard championship last
year. If you remember.
HE ran right between my
legs" Matthews recalled, And
they say he chased me in the 220
and in the relay. I don't know
why he picked on me, but we're

Terps Try Comeback
Against vi|lanova
After Lo S. 10 Yale

University of Maryland's baseball
team hoped TO overcome jinx to-
day by getting back in the win COL
umn at the expense of Villanova.
The teams were to meet on the
Terps' field BIT $3.50.
Maryland lboked good in whipping
Syracuse in the opening game on
March Is. but since has tied two
and lost three. including hard luck
6-5 setback yesterday by Yale at
College Park.
The Terps will rest over the week
end after today's encounter, then
meet George Washington next
Tuesday.
Joe Fitzpatrick limited the Ellis
to six hits yesterday, but erratic
fielding and delayed action in the
infield cost him the game. The
Terps hammered three Yale pitch
ers for nine bingles, including a
home run by Shortstop Bob Brewer.
Brewers round tripper was the
lone spark in a desperate attempt
by the Terps to get back in the
ball game in the eighth. Yale put
four runs across in that inning to
ice the game.
The visitors scored two runs in
the first on singles by Art Moher
and Tom Redden, sacrifice by
Second Baseman Dick Mathews and
an outfleld fly by Paul Russ. But
the Terps tied it in the fourth when
Gene Emsweller doubled to score
Jim Moeller and Brewer and went
ahead in the next inning on singles
by Emsweller, John Condor and Ed
CrescenZe.
Maryland led, AZ, going into the
eighth, but mishandling of two pop
flies and slow thinking in the Terp
infield put three Yale men on base
and Mathews tripled to score them.
Jim Duffus singled to score Mathews
and, except for Brewers homer, that
completed the run-making.
George Washington was slated to
play host to Fort Belvoir today in
a game postponed from April 2.
Only other losal college nine slated
to see action today was Howard,
scheduled to go against North Caro-
lima College for Negroes at Durham.
Howard's game against Virginia
Union yesterday was postponed.

Nick Migas, fighting delegate
of Local 1910, United Steel
workers, CLIO, to the recent Bos-
ton Convention, came home to
his local last Thursday to receive
a hero's ovation.
Migas was the delegate who
was beaten and kicked on Bos-
ton streets by goons after he
criticized the USA's lack OF
militant wage policy.
A packed hall, estimated at 500,
booed right-wing delegate Breen
off the floor after he finished
his convention report. Breen,
speaking for three other dele
gates as well, had gotten up at
the Boston convention to apol-
ogize to Phil Murray for Migas'
criticism, and had promised to
lead an attack for Migas' expul-
sion from the local.
EFFORTS of staff representa-
tive Jeneske to re-create the
red-baiting hysteria of the Bos-
ton Convention fell flat when
the membership began to cry
from all sides, "This amt Bos-

Let Migas speak"
Jeneske finally surrendered the
floor to Migas who received an
ovation. In calm, dignified tones,
Migas reported on the Conven-
ton, stating:
Now know how a Negro in
the South must feel as he faces
lynching. That is what l felt
in Boston,"

back home.

night few blocks away, a we'll

to delegates "Chuck" Fizer and
Ralph Hyndman, the only dele
gates to receive applause for their
reports.
Both reports sharply criticized
the convention proceedings and
the attack on Migas, declared
support for the wage policy
Migas had outlined, and stressed
the need for rank and file activ-
ity to restore the union to its
membership.
