more than doubled in so years,
but, by 1767, just before the
Revolution, Virginia and
Maryland ports were handling
only 20 per cent Of the col
onies' foreign trade.
The tides Of fortune defin-
itely shifted, and then came a
staggering blow-the War of
1912. Fifty British warships
blockaded Chesapeake Bay,
and when the war was over,
Virginia's tonnage had drop
ped to 3 per cent.
But the end Of the decline
had not been reached. When
the Civil War started, Virginia
ports were down to seven
tenths of one per cent Of the
national total. Six years after
the war, with the South's mills
demolished and its fields dew
astated, the figure dropped to
two-tenths Of one per cent.
Evening star., 1954-05-30

New York was up to COS per
cent. Maryland had IS per
cent Of the business.
Alexandria was finished as
q port, although 1t has some
commerce now. Richmond's
sea trade all but vanished.
The Hampton Roads area
churns with maritime activi-
ties, but most of it is Army
and Navy business.
AS time went on, Virginia
built its port business back
to about 8 per cent, where it
now stands. New York still
leads, with approximately 40
per cent. Then come Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Boston and
the New England ports.
For many years. Virginia's
ports authority, known as the
Division Of Ports, was part of
the State Conservation and
Development Departm ent.
Now new industry Is moving
into the State and adjacent

areas. Railroads and high
ways criss- s-cross the State and
stretch over the mountains
into the midwest.
Maritime opportunity again
Is knocking. That iS why the
State Assembly set up the
ports authority as q separate
agency. Much work Is to be
done. Navigable waters need
20 be improved. Harbor wharf
age and storage facilities are
needed.
Specifically. the authority
Is charged with promoting,
developing, constructing,
equipping, maintaining and
operating the harbors and
seaports within the State and
its Jurisdiction"
What that really means is
that Virginia Is attempting to
regain Its bygone glorieS when
she, too, was a leader among
the States that sent their men
down to the sea in ships.

Beaver Defeat By Defiance Creates
Three Way Tie For Second In Mid-0hio

Defiance college pulled a surprise
out of the bag Saturday afternoon at
Harmon Field when they eked out a
1877 win over the Rlpffton college
Beavers in a game marred by num-
erous penalties. 1t WAS the final
contest Of the season for both schools.
The defeat left the Beavers in a
three-way tie for SECOND place in the
Ohio League RICE with Defiance
and Findlay. All finished with 2-2
league marks. Fihdlay and Defiance
actually ended with 3-2 league marks
but their wins against Wilmington
did not count in the final standings
as the Quakers did not play enough
games to have a bearing in the Mid
Ohio race.
1t was case of TOO much Howard
Meyer for the Beavers Saturday
afternoon. The 19O-pound halfback
scored both Yellowjacket ltouchdowns
the first on a.one-yard off-tackle play
in the second quarter apd the second
on 12-yard end rup' in the final
period.
Bluffton's only score came in the
third period whenF Reldon Schircf
went into the end zbne and added the
extra point. Charlie Spencer sped 6S
yards for another wouldbe Beaver
tally but it was called back wher

the two teams battled on even terms
and were forced to kick on numerous
occasions. Both the Beavers and the
Yellowjackets showed well balanced
ground game but unable to move
against hard charging lines.
The Beaver passing game, which
had shown SO well in the past few
games, failed to materialize and
Coach Ken Mast's eleven had to rely
on the running game.
The Beavers missed the services of
Emil Knorr, end and fullback, who
sat out the game on doctors advice
due to injuries received in the con-
test against Ashland
The defeat gave the Beavers A
record for the season with two losses
coming at the hands of league foes
and two to out of league opponents
Alma, Mich, and Heidelberg were
the non-leagpe foes to beat the
Beavers.
Beavers playing their last GRID
game were Jim Benroth, Dave Tice
Earl Campbell and Charles Spencer.

to do the work at last Thursday

stipulation that an engineer would
have to first approve the Spillwav.
The larger portion of the water
in the pond was drained over the
weekend and the remaining three
or four feet will be retained so
that existing fish in the pond
will be able to survive. Plans call
for the reconstruction without ever
completely draining the pond.

board as temporary caretakcr of
