SKI OUTLOOK

Area ski conditions will be
somewhat clancy this week
end although fair to good con-
ditions are expected to prevail
in those areas which have
snow-making equipment.
No reports have been re-
ceived from West Virginia and
Maryland slopes which are de-
pendent on natural snow. Poor
conditions are believed to exist
since there has been no major
accumulation since last week
end.
New England conditions have
improved greatly. with almost
all slopes reporting good to ex-
cellent conditions.

THREE STRAIGHT DEFEATS
Poor Shooting Causes
Concern at Maryland

at Wake Forest where the At
lantic Coast Conference lead
will be at stake. Maryland Coach
Bud Millikan is likely to be ex-
tremely interested in Dukes de-
fensive plan against the Deacs'
brawny Len Chappell, who hit
for SO points against Virginia
and has been averaging a bis
tering 81 over his last 6 games.
Wake, of course will have a
score to settle when it en-
counters Maryland Saturday,
although it isn't likely to be
thinking that far ahead right
now. The Terps pulled off a TO-
81 surprise at College Park and
Coach Bones Mckinney vowed
it would be different in the
rematch at his place.
Stars Go Sour
Since that December meeting,
both clubs have gone a long
way, although the direction has
been downhill recently for one
Of them. In those three losses,
the shooting of Maryland's
three offensive threats-Bruce
Kelleher CT per cent?, Bob
Eicher 80 per cent? and Jerry
Greenspan (38 per cent)-all
went sour at the same time.
Eicher still hasn't recovered
the zip he had before his slight
conclusion, Greenspan has been
plagued with a heavy cold and
Kelleher has had some back
trouble. although he shrugs off
references to it. Millikan can
hope only that the recovery of
his club now will be as speedy
as its relapse.

training camp probably will be
right here in Washington. He's
thinking about Georgetown
again and from what I hear
none of the players may get
in. Georgetown has summer
sessions that really pack 'em in,
and with only one air-condi-
toned dormitory the Redskins
might not get much sleep in
our August weather. But it
hasn't been settled yet and Nc
Peak may change his mind. It's
a good thing you decided not
to return to California this
year. With all that rain your
practice field might have been
washed away.
If you know Bowie's new
owner, and could talk him into
running his meeting during
July and August it would solve
the entire weather problem.
Bowie opened last week and
it hasn't stopped showing yet.
Imagine what a boon it would
be to Washington to have
summer snow! Come to WASH
ington for winter sports in
July!

Along with it's other recent
physical ailments, Maryland's
basketball team has suddenly
developed a case of fading eye
sight, which helps account for
that ragged look.
Here was a club that wasn't
a world-beater to be sure, but
it was shooting in the 43 per
cent neighborhood not too long
ago, the best mark in Terp
history.
Good shooting can hide a
multitude of sins in basketball.
So now all of a sudden the
Terps' slips are showing.
They shot only ..36 per cent
against South Carolina, dropped
to 80 per cent against Clemson
and then dipped to an alarm
ing 81 per cent Tuesday night
against Duke, taking three
sound whackings along the way.
Terps Visit Wake Forest
Is it a slump or a full-scale
plunge? The Terps will have a
couple of days now to try to
lift their spirits and improve
their sights before encounter
ing Wake Forest Saturday and
North Carolina Monday, both
on the road. Neither figures to
be easy.
The area card tonight consists
Of only two games. Baltimore at
Catholic U. in a Mason-Dixon

land, has been having it's
troubles lately, losing its last

things figure to improve. Balti-

Authorities blamed the blast
on Communist terrorists, who
also were blamed for a bomb

Interior Minister Carlos An

firms in retaliation for the

LONDON, Oct. Is (AP).-
Premier Khrushchev's summit
feeler eased today European
fears that the Soviet Union and
the United states might go to
war over Cuba.
Demonstrations protesting the
United States blockade of arms
shipments to Cuba still flared
around the globe. Some neu-
tralist nations lined up in
opposition to Washington's &C
ton.
Americas allies in Europe
rallied behind the United
States. So did those in Latin
America, and a number offered
military aid to help enforce the
blockade of Fidel Castro's Cuba.
Washington reports thatSome
Soviet freighters bound for
Cuba had altered course also
raised hopes that the two great
powers might reach a peaceful
agreement.
A Soviet Embassy official in
London asserted arms supplied
to Cuba by Moscow are not
fitted with nuclear warheads.
Mr.. Khrushchev'S suggestion
that "a meeting at the highest
level would be useful to discuss
all questions that have arisen
and to eliminate the threat of
nuclear war" was contained in
a message to Lord Bertrand
Russell. The British philosopher,
who campaigns for nuclear dis
armament, had sent appeals
to both Mr.. Khrushchev and
President Kennedy.
Odd Approach
Diplomats in London con-
coded this was an odd way to
propose such a vital conference.
