, didn't connect. But let him
play every day and his average
would be all right"
Shipley calls Berger the most
graceful inf1elder he ever
coached, and the one with the
best throwing arm.
He was another Joe Cronin
throwing EN- out from deep
third" Burt said, referring to
the American League president,
a veritable wizard on this par
ticular play when he was the
Senator's, shortstop.
IS y
Shipley coached others whom
he thinks could have made the
big leagues had they stuck it
out. Second Baseman Jack
Stonepraker, for example, was
good enough to play Triple-A
ball with the Kansas City
Blues, but left to enter the
auto business with his father.
Pershing Mondorff reached the
Pacific Coast League during
his pitching career in the Dodg-
ers' chain, but became impa-
tent with his progress and quit
to take a banking position.
Bill Plate, a first baseman
who reeled off a record 18-game
hitting streak at Maryland be-
fore a shoulder injury ended his
career, and Chet Hanulak and
Howie Dare - both halfbacks
who chose pro football careers
instead of baSeball-are others
whom Shipley feels could have
gone up.
"And I always thought that
Eddie johnson had the makines
Of a good pitcher" Burt went
on, referring to the son Of the
late Walter johnson. But he
thought he'd be riding on his
fathers reputation if he tried
to pitch and wouldn't do 1t.
He'd do anything but that"
Maryland boasted an out
standing big league pitcher in
Vic Keen. who helped hurl the
Cardinals to the 1926 National
League pennant, but he played
at College Park before Shipley
took over as coach in 1928.
\ %%
There has been much specu-
lation that the late Bill Guckey-
son, shot down in a fighter
plane over France during World
War II, would have been a big
Lacquer If hadn't chosen q mill
tary career. ~
mo question about it in my
mind" Shipley said. "Bill came
out for baseball only to cure q
bone spur he got in his shoulder
playing football, and he cured
it. He could hit, run and field.
And after playing a game for
me, he'd 60 over and win the
javelin throw for the track
team.
Shipley ranks Guckeyson as
Maryland's greatest all-time
au-around athlete, although
he gives a nod to Curley Byrd
and Granville Lewis, heroes of
earlier eras. Guckeyson was a
four-letter winner and one of
the finest natural athletes this
writer ever saw.

Therel be some good-nat-
ured wrangling Thursday night
about sports episodes at Mary
land, and Shipley's opinions,
but there can't be any argu-
ment about the greatest thrill
the old coach experienced.
That was the time we beat
Adolph Rupp and Kentucky in
1881 for the Southern Con-
ference basketball champion
ship" Burt said with a smile.
The old conference had %
teams and we had to beat
Georgia Tech to get to Ken
lucky. I've had lots of thrills
like beating Navy when we
dedicated Ritchie Coliseum, but
l like to remember beating
Kentucky best of, all.

Ie[ps Beaten
In Last Game
Under Ship!ey

The Burt Shipley coaching
era has ended at College Park,
and. unfortunately for Mary
land partisans, it wound up
yesterday on a losing note.
Virginia beat the Maryland
baseball team, 1912, in a free
swinging finale at Shipley
Field. Ships last team in SO
years Of coaching thus finished
with a 90 record.
Howard also lost yesterday,
81, to North Carolina AIT at
Banneker. The, dwindling area
college schedule lists Villanova
at Navy and Montgomery Jun
ior College at York (Pa0 &c in
a double-header today. No
other games are scheduled un-
til the week end.
Maryland outhit the Cava-
hers, 1910, but Virginia scored
eight runs on homers, and the
Terps' five pitchers walked in
another four runs while issuing
13 walks.
George Farson provided q
1910 lead for Virginia with q
srand-slam homer in the
seventh. Maryland scored once
each in the eighth and ninth
but with the tying run or
second and one out, Pitcher
Hardy billiard struck out
George Klinedienst and forced
Don Brown to pop up. Brown
had hit a triple, double and
two singles before that.
At Banneker, Dan Gather
hit his fourth homer of the
season for Howard in the first
inning, accounting for a 2-C
lead. but AIT finished with
i've runs in the eighth to hano
the Bisons their 18th defeat
against four victories.

Abbitt Tobacco
Bill Needs Only
Presidents Pen
1860 Support
Prices Will Be
At 1859 Levels

The U. S. Senate Monday
passed and, sent to the White
House the Abbitt bill to stabi-
lie the price support level Of
tobacco. The bill was passed BY
the House on February 8. It
applies to all kinds of tObaccOs.
The proposal was introduced
by Representative Watkins M.
Abbitt, chairman of the Tobacco
Subcommittee of the House Ag-
riculture Committee. The bill,
endorsed by all segments of the
tobacco industry, is designed to
stabilize support levels to pre-
vent their spiraling due to a de-
cline in price Of other agricul-
tural commodities
Tied To Farm Costs
Congressman Abbitt has said
the legislation will permit adj
justments for changes in farm
costs so that the support level of
tobacco will rise or fall in di-
rect proportion to changes in
prices paid by farmers for
commodities purchased includ-
ing taxes, wages, and interest.
The President is expected to
sign the bill inasmuch as it was
not opposed by the Department
Of Agriculture.
The 4th District Congressman.
speaking enthusiastically about
the bill. said at is necessary
that we have this legislation to
stabilize the price of our to
bacco so that we will not lose
our export trade in competition
with foreign grown tobacco.
While our tobacco condition is
good, we still need this legisla-
ton for the years ahead SO that
the foreign buyers and manu-
facturers will know they can get
sufficient American tobacco at
a fair price,.
Support Figures
The legislation carries out the
recommendations of the To
bacco Industry Committee and
is the result of considerable
work on the part of Abbitt and
others who felt the need for such
action.
It provides that tobacco sup
port levels for 1860 be the same
as 1859 and that in subsequent
years the support price be ad-
JuSted from. the 1859 level in
direct proportion to changes in
prices paid by farmers. The

average would be used as the
base and it would apply to all
