Track Meet Listed
For University

Five dual meets have been sched-
uled for the University of Della
wares varsity cross country team
in addition to the Middle Atlantic
Track and Field Association Cham
piOnships which will be run at the
Newark Country Club Course this
year.
The Delaware barriers, who are
already working out under the
guidance of Coach Kenneth D.
Steers, posted their best record
last season by downing five of six
opponents. Their only defeat came
at the hands of strong Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh team on the lat
ter's home grounds.
Due to scheduling difficulties, the
Fit team will not meet tie Blue
Hens until next year, but the re-
mainder of last years opponents
return to action. The highlight OF
the season will be the MACTFA
meet at Delaware on November
14th, in which some fifteen to
twenty Eastern schools are expect
ed to participate. The Delaware
team placed sixth in this event last
year.
Coach Steers reported that only
a small squad of varsity men will
be available for duty. Losses from
the 1851 team include Captain

Frank Ewing, and Bill Bolton-all
members of the 1852 graduating
class. Four other promising run
ners, Irv Carty, Ralph Peters, Ed
Hoffman, and track captain Don
Vane will be unable to participate
this year.
The 1852 aggregation will be led
by Captain Bill Reybold and Bo
FOuracre, both consistent scorers
last season. Jim Click, also a let
ter-winner, Jim Holcomb, and Har-
ry Kline return after having gain
ed valuable experience in last
years meets.
Two returning veterans may
help the teams chances for a sue
cessful campaign. Tom Clayton, a
1948 letterman, has returned from
the Merchant Marine and Walter
Deputy, former freshman track
performer, has been released from
the service. Newcomer Richard o.
Conner COMPLETES the squad.
According to Coach Steers, the

in recent years. Two of the run

Pharmacist Trying
To Retire

WAUKON, La. (P)John C. Opfer,
a druggist for So years, has been
trying to retire for eight years anu
hasn't been able to yet.
Opfer, still active at IS, sold his
business in 1914 to Francis Sulli-
van, who had been a clerk in
Opfer's drug store for % years. But
because of the shortage of pharm-
acists during the war, Opfer stayed
on as an employee of Sullivan.
Now Sullivan has a graduate
pharmacist working in the store
But state law requires that he
spend a years internship under d
registered pharmacist, so Opfer is
still at work.

BY Stoff Correspondent OF The Star
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. THE
Fenwick bill to place a new 10th
congressional district in Northern
Virginia today was reported favor
ably by the State Senate Priv.
leges and Elections Committee.
The district, embracing Airing
ton and Fairfax Counties and the
cities Of Falls Church and Alex
andria, would be carved out of the
present 9th district of Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Alexandria. The vote in COM
mittee was 8 to 2.
The plan will be vigorously

Of their own to bring the 1OtE
to their area. Altogether there
were four different congressional
redistricting plans considered at q
committee hearing this morning.
Spokesman from the Norfolk
area indicated their strategy now
will be to prevent the bill, offered
by Senator Charles r. Fenwick OF
Arlington, from passing as emer-
gency legislation by mastering
sufhcient votes to prevent q nee
eSsary four-fifthS majority.
The legislation must carry an
emergency clause in order to give
congressional candidates sufficient
time to file before an April dead
line. Without an emergency
clause, legislation cannot become
