Players Scholarship
Defended by Tatum
In Long Statement

The academic record of Mary

at all. In fact, it's quite good
according to a lengthy statement
issued by Coach Jim Tatum in a
rebuttal to criticism of some OF
the Terrapins' classroom stand

Declaring the picture at Mary

standings are better than the
average of the entire student

declared, and not typical of the
work done by the average player.
Case is described the courses
taken by a football player who
was still a junior after five years
at Maryland.
Noting that fewer than so
per cent of the students who
enter college complete the work
for a degree, Tatum pointed out
that 80 per cent of the 81 foot
ball players who used up their
varsity eligibility were grad
uated.
"In Case 16's graduating class
there were nine regular football
players from the 1858 national
championship team" Tatum
said. Five of the nine had
academic records good enough
to be honored by membership
in the ODK honorary society.

FORE AND AFT

Yachtsmen for all their pro-
fessed self-reliance and inde-
pendence appear to be as inter-
ested in group activities as most
Americans. Witness the many
yacht clubs, boating organiza-
tionS and the like all over the
United States.
Now comes Lee Harris, COM
modore of Selby Bay Yacht Club
at Edgewater, Md, with sug-
gestion that a commodoreS asso-
citation be formed for the Ches-
apeake Bay area. Working to-
gether with a common interest
in boating, the outfit could do
a lot of good, Commodore Har-
ris observes.
For instance, starting with
the flag raising ceremonies in
the spring, one of the things
that could be accomplished is
to see that these ceremonies are
held on different dates so that
each club might support the
other" he adds.
"All activities could be pro-
NOTED and organized so as to
avoid conflict of schedules and
promote the participation of all
yacht clubs on important open
affairs of the other"
This one deserves some study,
particularly when it's realized
that for years sail and power
races have been co-ordinated
through such outfits as the Ches-
apeake Bay Yacht Racing Asso-
citation and the American Power
Boat Association.

Post-Season Games
Approved for Army
In Action by Board
BY the Associaied Press

WEST POINT, N. Y, Feb. II.
-Army's participation in post
season football games, probably
the Sugar or Cotton Bowl. had
the backing today of the Mill
tary Academy's Board of Visi-
tors.
The board. an 18-man group
composed of members of Con-
gress. the military and civilians,
is strictly an advisory organiza-
ton. but it's recommendations
carry weight in formulation of
Academy policies by Army Off
cials.
The move to break down the
Army barrier against participa-
ting in poSt-season games
reached a climax last night when
the board held its annual meet
ing here.
Representative Hebert, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana. made the
motion. It was seconded by Rep
resentatives league, Democrat,
Of Texas, and johnson, Republi-
can, of California, and met with
unanimous approval from the
board headed by DR.. James Bax-
ter, III. president of Williams
College.
ITO all intents and purposes,
the way has been cleared for the
acceptance of a bowl bid by the
Army" Hebert said. He pointed
out that his motion had the
backing of Secretary of Defense
Wilson and. while not binding
on Academy authorities, it will
be given serious consideration.
1t. Gen. B. NJ. Bryan, super
intendent of the Academy and
former Army football star, and
Head Coach Earl Blaik both
were advised of the boards ac-
ton. They will not learn of it
officially, however. until after
the groups recommendation,
along with others, has been sent
to President Eisenhower. He
bert pointed out that the Presi-
dent takes no official action on
the boards recommendations.
Both Gen. Bryan and Blaik
declined comment.
The public information Office
at West Point said the Board
of Visitors was appointed by the
President to make a report and
no comment can come from West
Point until the President has
seen the report. The Office added
that any announcement. in ref
erence to Army's participation
In bowl games would have to
come from Washington.
Although the boards recon-
mendation approved Army's
participation in any recognized
bowl if a bid is extended, ac-
tually the Cadets probably would
be limited to either the Sugar or
Cotton Bowls. They are the
major bowls not entirely tied up
with individual conferences.
Representatives of the Big
Ten and Pacific Coast Confer
ences play in the Rose Bowl.
The Atlantic Coast and Big
Seven are under contract to
send their teams to the Orange
Bowl.

Smoke Screen Used in Vital Test To Cut Down Heat Radiation in
 Fifth Atomic Blast of 1855 Series

LAS VEGAS, LR - Nevada's fifth atomic blast of the 1855 series rocked and illuminated the desert Saturday while the Army Chemical Corps conducted vital experiment to determine the power of a smoke screen to cut down heat radiation.
 The detonation from a 30O-foot tower at Yucca Flat came at 5:20 am. and was less than major size. Observers in Las Vegas clased it in the 'baby A-bomb" category.
 II was seen as a brilliant, short white flash in Las Vegas, about 75 miles away In Los Angeles, some 25O miles distant, the flash was like a faint flicker of white light, resembling a heat lightning flash. Other localities which saw the flash included Phoenix, Ariz., where observers reported the showing was considerably smaller than the March 7 blast, biggest of the series. It was seen faintly in the San Francisco area.
