Await LEAGUE Status

Action on the applications of
Chamberlain and Bell Vocational
Schools for membership in District
public high athletic leagues is being
deferred, but it may come before
the official opening of the basket
ball league on January 7.
The question was discussed at yes
terday's meeting of the Board of
High School Principals and was re-
ferred to special committee which
will study the physical education
setups at the schools and make rec
concentrations.
The two schools were scheduled to
meet in basket ball game today at
Bell. Another top game on the aft

Basket ball at the University
Of Maryland has reached the
point where they are going to
start selling tickets.
Before the season opened, 1t
was announced Terp home games
would be on a student only pol
icy because there were 1000 more
resident students than seats in
Richie Coliseum. But after four
defeats in five starts, the stu
dents have deserted the team
and fewer than 1850 turned out
to see the Terps lose. 53-47. to
the University Of Virginia last
night.
Coach Flucie Stewart is mysti-
fed. He has some pretty good
material, but each game so far
some Of his key men have had
an off night. The spirit is good,
better than that of the students,
but they can't win.
The Terp's luck has been mis-
cradle. Against Temple, one of
the top teams in the East, Mary
land was only 8 points behind
with four minutes to play, but it
started gambling and lost by 10.
It beat v. P. l., then lost to
Loyola by 2 points. 1t lost to
Richmond after pulling up close
In the last few minutes. and last
night 1t looked as though 1t
might pull one out of the fire
when it pulled to 45-49, but 1t
was Virginia that spurted at
that point.
Johnny Edwards. leading scorer
last year, has been in a slump.
He made l point last night and
is not in the teams top five
point producers. Both Edwards
and Charley Mack, the touted
freshman. have been slowed up
due to sprained ankles.
But losing to Virginia is no dis
grace. The Cavaliers. coached by
Gus Tebell for the 25th straight
year, have a rugged ball club,
without too much finesse, but
with two or three dead = eye
shooters. They have won five
out of seven and lost to Navy by
only z points.
Joe .Noertker. the Cavaliers
touted high scorer, soon was the
victim. Of hungry" chants by,
the Maryland students, but after
the game both coaches said
Noertker didn't shoot enough.
He made II points, dropping
his average in seven games to
20.4 per game.
Ronald Richard had a smart
overhead shot that accounted for
1s points and scoring honors for
the night and Lou Morris was
q good all-round man for the
Cavaliers. The Terps perked up
when 5-foot-4 Eddie Crescenze
entered the game, but little
Eddie soon became over anxious
and lost the ball almost as times
as he stole it. Crescenze, to the
delight of the students, tied
Bernie Smith for point honors
for the Terps with nine.
Flucie, still trying hard to snap
the losing streak, is going to
Richmond today to scout Glenn
son. Maryland's opponent tomor-
row night.

Republic Steel Urged
To Sell Pig Iron Output
BY the Associofed Press

War Assets Administrator Jess
Larson yesterday urged Republic
Steel Corp. to make the output of
the Gadsden (Ala.) blast furnace
available to the foundry industry.
The Government is willing to
make liberal concessions" in Re-
publics 10-year lease of the Gov
ernment -owned pig iron plant if it
will do this, Mr.. Larson said in a
letter to Republics president,
Charles M. White.
The offer is another development
in the three-cornered argument
among WAA, Republic and the
Kaiser Frazer Corp, which started
with the leasing of a Government
owned blast furnace at Cleveland to
Kaiser Frazer.
Republic originally operated the
wartime steel plant at Cleveland.
Negotiations for a postwar lease
were lengthy and Republic finally
threatened to shut down the fur
mace
Mr.. Larson then offered the plant
to Kaiser Frazer, and the motor car
maker promptly signed up. Repub-
lie and Automobile Maker Preston
Tucker protested, each saying he
Kaiser gave the Government.
Gaiser gave the Government.
Republic also charged the KAISER
Frazer deal would cut off pig iron
supply to a large number of foun-
dries.

operated by Republic for some time.

drunk and disorderly conduct on the
night he contends police mistreated
