BALI Seiinlas

Balfo seimas 81 karta, kaip ir
buvo numatyta, buvo negausus.
Susirinko apie keturios desimtys
delegatq, skaitant ir SUI direkto-
riatu, be to, dalyvavo daugiau
kaip kita tick sveciu, daugiausia
is newyorkieciu tarpo.
Seimui pirmininkavo E. Pau

pirmininkavimu, nes j sugebajo
ir tvarka islaikyti 'ir duoti pro-
gos visiems nuosirdziai pasisa-
kyti nuomones svarstomais rel

Svarbiausias priekaistas, berods,
buvo tas, kad tremtiniai, gauda-

Apie tai Dirvoje jau buvo ra-

ar tikrai ia "operacija" buvo
reikalinga.

OF the letters he received from
Navy men were sympathetic.
Erdelatz said outsiders expected
more of Navy this year than the
people in Annapolis. Remember
we won only two games last year
before we beat Army" Erdelatz
said. Beating Army was won
derful, but I told you fellows be-
fore the season started not to
expect too much. We didn't have
the personnel"
The Navy coach added that he
couldn't remember a season where
so many things have gone wrong
as this year. Penalties where
they hurt the most, pass-eatchers
dropping passes right in their
hands, players forgetting instruc-
tions, and he named other Incl
dents.

But the morale is still good, the
Navy mentor said. and he is hope
full OF upsetting the Terps. Some
body asked him if the theme at
Navy was to knock Maryland out
of the Sugar Bowl. and Erdelatz
said not particularly. Our boys
know Maryland is a nationally
ranked team. unbeaten and un-
tied and all that and we just want
to beat them. But I haven't heard
much about the bowl angle"
Eddie confirmed the story of
early in the week that Mike Sor-
