Terps Play CIV,
Z League Rivals
In Busy Week

Maryland's basketball pro.
gram this week calls for the
Terrapins to win their two At
lantic Coast Conference games
and solidify their hold on fourth
place in the league.
Standardized between these
family engagements tomorrow
night against South Carolina at
College Park and Saturday
night against Clemson at Glenn
son is Thursday night game
against George Washington
which the Terps want nightly
to win but which at this point
has CIV as the choice.
The boy counted on to supply
Maryland with the needed scor-
ing punch Is Bob Kessler. the
senior from Alexandria who has
come through as expected in
the early games and established
himself as the real solid player
OH the team.
Leading Tourney Scorer
Not only are the Terrapins
getting the reeded point pro-
lduction from this George WASH
lington High product, but they
are getting an all-around game.
His scoring, though, is plenty
good enough particularly under
the Maryland style OF play
which usually doesn't generate
large totals.
1t generally was overlooked In
1.-THE Maryland Mid : Winter
Tournament last week that Bob
emerged As the leading scorer
with So points In the two games.
! Bob pumped in 81 points
opening night against Michigan
State and q in the windup, not
playing full time, against st.
Francis. That brings his sea-
son total to lat points, an aver
age Of 81 for seven games.
Best Rebounders
/ Kessler's scoring tactics are
varied, as they must be with q
good basketball player. He has
la nice drive-in layup, and he also
lgets through the hoop with a
,lfadeaway hook and q soft jump
shot. His rebounding also is by
far the best on the team, aver
Iaging Is or better a game.
/ Kessler's looks are deceiving.
He's chunky, and doesn't app
pear as tall as the average col
'Ilegiate player. But he stands g.
'Ifoot-4 and weighs EOS. statistics
that at least keep him even.
physically. with most of the
players he faces.
| With Kessler the leading
scorer, the Terrapins now have
a 2-1 record for fourth place in
the conference, and 5-3 overall.
South Carolina, tomorrow nights
opponent, is LIS and A and
tiled for sixth place IN the league
with Clemson. the team the
iTerps visit Saturday night.
Clemson is 1-3 and 50, and OF
the two conference teams, Glenn
Ison may be the tougher.

OF the trade embargo against Communist
thlna and the question of a meeting be-
tween the Secretary of State and the Chi
nese Foreign Minister
1t Is question debated by many wheth-
er the talks have been conclusive. Some
diplomats, especially Europeans. believe
that this country's willingness to negotiate
with the Chinese Communists has perhaps
prevented shooting war from breaking
out around Formosa.
certainly, the United States has shown
patience and d willingness to negotiate on
the issues. 1t has almost certainly been
temptation for Ambassador johnson and
I. ). diplomatic officials to break off the
talks with the Communists. However the
United States does not want to be placed
IN the position of having refused to discuss
the issues and, therefore the talks have CON
tinued

an outstanding part in lifting the paper
curtain so unfair to the South for the past
year. Even the Saturday Evening Post,
which refused last year to allow any South
ern writer to answer the unfair impressions
left by Mrs. Sarah Patton Boyle. of Char
lottesville, is now opening to some extent
it's columns to Southerners who tell the
truth about the South.
The accompanying article from the
Manchester Union Leader comes to one
conclusion. We quote:
:. the North is not helping to solve ra-
cial problems. Instead, hypocrisy, busy
bodyism and propaganda, much of it Com
munist inspired are raising havoc with life
in these United States"
1t would be our guess that the New
Hampshire editor knows much more about
communism than do we. Frankly. we have
never known Communist, so that by first
hand knowledge we would be at a loss to
deal with them. We do know something of
their theory and operation, and we can see
pattern of communistic thought through
out the nation. 1t may be world revolu-
ton against which we will be unable to
cope but definitely theories similar to those
held by communists are expounded by
some people IN positions of Importance and
responsibility, either by design or naivete.
There are many pitfalls which can be
avoided only by turning on the light of
truth. Truth has always triumphed. Truth
Is much needed now.
We add our expression of appreciation
TO the News & Courier of Charleston, S. C..
Tor Its Journalistic enterprise. and to the
Union Leader of Manchester n. H.. for IFS
recognition Of it.

discussion of the school crisis with the spe-
