Mud Takes Place Of Snow
AS Bowie Racing Resumes
jockeys Find
Oval Safe After
Fast Cleanup
By JOSEPH b. KELLY
Co. - -F r4..

A muddy track slowed fields
at Bowie this afternoon as rae
ing resumed in the wake of
Saturdays 4-inch snowfall that
shortened the nine-race card
to five.
Five buses Of die-hard fans
left New York this morning for
the track. Ordinarily a dozen
or more would be loaded with
players headed for Maryland.
But Bowie officials considered
five good, in view of road con-
dltions, and counted on a turn
out of about 5000 for the day.
Freezing temperatures slowed
the work of clearing parking
lots, but one-third of the area
was in good shape. The con-
dltlon Of the track was the
major consideration. for
Bowie's heated stands assured
Ine 1anS comfort.
Riders Test Track
Trainers and riders tested
the track this morning and
found it to be safe for racing.
Track crews worked through
out last night to whip the strip
back into condition despite
wind and numbing 14-degree
temperatures.
Saturdays program was
stopped after five races when
the jockeys voted to quit be-
cause the falling snow obscured
their vision. Other riders COM
planned that their mounts had
trouble handling the footing.
although there were no spills
or apparent bobbles.
Parking lots were not COM
pletely cleared today because Of
the freezing conditions but were
navigable, as were secondary
roads leading to the track from
the main highways.
Bowie officials were disap-
pointed, of course, over the loss
OF what had promised to be one
OF the biggest Saturdays in the
tracks history, but happy that
the experience of two years ago,
when 1000 were marooned, was
not duplicated.
Stakes Not Rescheduled
The decision to call off the
races in the middle of Satur-
days program enabled the sur
prlslngly large crowd of 1929
to get out before driving condi-
tions became impossible. AL
though some major tieups oc-
Cured within 10 miles of the
track, parking lots were cleared
about an hour after the races
were halted.
The Bowie management has
decided not to reschedule the
$4,000 Francis Scott Key
Stakes, which was lost Satur-
day. Nomination fees will be
returned to the owners who
named the twenty-three 3-year-
olds for the race.

Clemson Pits
ImprovedF Five
Against Terps

Clemson's basketball team
already has won as many
games 80 as any of the Tigers
seven predecessors in the At
lantic Coast Conference, which
means Maryland could be in
for trouble at Cole Field House
at 8:15 tonight.
The Terp Frosh meet Fort
Myer in 6:15 preliminary.
The Tigers are a sixth-place
team in the conference with a
3-6 mark, but they have won
six non conference games.
Clemson's $3.50 victory at Vir-
ginia Saturday night was its
9th victory, equalling the nine
triumphs of the 1856 team.
Loaded With Pennsylvanians
The Tigers again bring a pre-
dominantly- Pennsylvania club
to College Park, and if the
Pennsylvania Turnpike is clear
OF snow today several cars Of
parents and friends are ex-
pected from McKeesport. Pa.
Clemson has three starters.
Walt Gibbons and the Krajack
brothers, George and Ed, from
McKeesport. plus Dutch Sham
pie, who has been hampered by
an injury. Coach Press Mara
vich also is from that neck of
the woods.
But one of the big reasons
for Clemson's improved record
this year is Choppy Patterson,
a 6-foot sophomore from Pied
mont, S. c., just 20 miles from
the Clemson campus.
Patterson, a fancy dribbler,
is averaging better than II
points a game. The only other
Clemson player in double fig
ureS is George Krajack, with a
l2.5 average. Another Tiger
sophomore who has helped is
Tom Mahaffey, a 6-7 center
from LAGRANGE, Ga. who scored
l3 points Saturday.
Maryland could break a third
place tie with Duke with a
victory tonight. The Terps' con-
ference record dropped to 5-4
with Saturdays 48-46 defeat
at the hands of North Carolina
State.
Bunge Loses Lead
Virginia and N. C. State,
Maryland's last two opponents,
have held AL Bunge to eight
and six points. respectively,
knocking the Terps' star out
of the conference scoring lead.
Bunge's scoring pace has
dropped off with Maryland's
control tactics Of the last two
games. Maryland didn't score
field goal for the last nine
and one-half minutes of the
N. C. State game and took few
shots.
Maryland'S rather strange
schedule finds the Terps play
ing six games in the final two
weeks of the season. The Terps
are host to Duke Thursday and
George Washington on Satur-
day. Next week they visit North
Carolina on Tuesday. Clemson
Friday, and South Carolina
Saturday afternoon.

Walker From England
Embarks on Pacific-tO-
Atlantic Hike

SONOMA, Calf, RHDr. Bar
bara Moore, 56-year-old walker
from England, licked off 40 miles
the first day of her cross-country
hike, several miles less than the
first-day stint of two British SER
geants she says she will pass.
But the servicemen = Raj
Flight Sgt. Patrick Moloney and
Army Sgt. Mervyn Evans - left
San Francisco a day ahead of DR..
Moore. They spent Wednesday
night in West Sacramento.
Red-haired DR.. Moore stopped
early Wednesday evening at Sears
Point near here.
"She's very tired woman"
said her hostess, Jean Fadden.
Setting out jauntily at 900 am.
Wednesday from San Francisco
city hall, DR.. Moore picked Sac
ramento, SO miles away, as the
goal of the first leg of her 1882
mile hike. But the California cap
itol was still So miles distant
when she called it day.
DR.. Moore eats sparingly of
fruit and juices and says she ex-
poets to live "to be 200 years
old if I don't have an accident"
She says tricks like this one
and recent 1,028-mile jaunt in
England are "to prove that what
we eat can kill us or keep us
young indefinitely"
