Dotted With Bigtime Prospects
Second Team.

team, team IT'S three each for George;
town, 70, . ,,ana Maryland. and two each
for george washington and Gath
Fonc.ns
The individual who strikes every
body's fancy is Wapinsky, the big
Colonial backstop. He hit a terrific
400 in tough league, and the scouts
are beating each other oyer the head
for a chance at him. Andrus, Mary
lands centerfielder, is another we'll
secuted player. although he might
not have quite the heft usually
needed in the bigtime. He has a
neat 1853 average at the plate, and
covers half the other fields in addl-
ton to his own.
Another good galloper in center
field is George Washington's Bunny
Citrenbaum. Here's another little
player with a grand arm. His 1853
average doesn't look good and it's
the only one below 800 in the first
team outfield. The potential is
there, however. as G. WIS leadoh
man he proved to be good clutch
hitter most of the time. Completing
the first team outfield is George
towns Ray Corley, capable all
around player and 1927 hitter.
Chosen with Shortstop Brewer IN
the first team infield are Jim Noel
Ter of Maryland on first, Joe Con-
nors of Georgetown on second and
Hossick of American on third. Con-
nors' hitting fell away of toward
the end of the season, but he was
the cleverest fielder of all the sec
ond hasemen. First team pitchers

Arctic Reconstruction To
Cost S220,o0o,000

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The first
detailed survey of reconstruction
needs in the Nazi-leveled Nor
wegian provinces of North Troms
and Finnmark was recently placed
before the Norwegian Parliament.
According to these estimates, a to-
tai of S22O,OOO,0OO will be needed
to restore these far-northern prov
inces, and a minimum of 10 years
will be required to complete the
job. Of the projected amount,
S144 900, 900 is to be spent between
1945-50 Based on careful esti-
mates from various Government,
provincial, and community de-
partments, as well as private or
CARNATIONS, the survey is expected
to comprise the basis for more de-
tailed economic studies in the
future.
Replacement of the II COS dwell
ing houses, which were burned or
blown up by the retreating Ger
mans in 1914, will cost an esti-
mated S61, 734, 900. Some 80 per
cent of these houses have been re-
placed to date, and this portion of
the project is expected to be COM
pleted by 1852. In addition, S11,
$780, 900 in office and combined
business buildings are to be built
during the ten year period. OF the
1881 barns and farm out build.
ings destroyed in 1914, 1045 per-
manent and 1850 provisional re-
placements had been completed by
January l. 194S. Farm buildings
alone will cost an estimated S14.-
$4,000. Thanks to the special
stress laid on this phase of re-
building, it is already possible to
provide shelter for as many ami
mails as before the war.

Fish processing plants, sheds,
