Official DatesOf VacationFor those who wish to

know—and we suspect thatthere are many—we herewithofficially announce the dates ofthe spring vacation: Friday,March 20. at 11:30 a,m, toMonday, March 30, at 8 a.m.

The beginning of vacationwas moved ahead to Friday inorder to facilitate preparationsfor Farm and Home Week, heldannually on the campus duringthe spring recess.

Which is very nice: but weheartily recommend all takeheed of the fact that, in similarfashion. the closing date of va-cation has also been movedahead, and students will nothave Monday in which to re-cuperate from that "morningafter" feeling.

On The Inside - -EDITORIALS—It ka,. hi en recommended that the Navy employ psycholo-

gists to "engender in aviation cadets a hate for our enemies and theirmethods. We don't quite see it.

BEAR FACTS—A toast to Richard "Boo" Morcum who high jumped, polevaulted, and broad jumped the pants off his Madison Square Gardencompetitors last week ...not to mention an earlier encounter with theUniversity of Maine.

CAMPUS TO CAPITAL—Jay Richter, ACP's Washington Correspondent,offers a regular feature with plenty of information for the college stu-dent 2 S to what's going on in Washington.

SPOTLIGHT—The reviewer hates disagreeing with a Bangor columnist,but he cannot help feeling that "A Yank on the Burma Road" isstrictly a misnomer.

OPINION SURVEY—Believe it or not, but the reliable Texas poll indicatesthat a plurality of U. S. college students think the Axis might possiblybe running in the money.

Mumbling and Speed Star in Masque Play Student ElectionsHanson, Bean Stand Out; Pierce Calls Production Inadequate

In this scene from the first act of the Masque's latest Shakespearian effort,cast generally mixing it up with swords and daggers.

By Phil Pierce"Romeo, wherefore art thou, Ro-

meo?" That is what the first nightaudience were asking themselves lastMonday night when the Bard's lovetragedy had been unfolded before themon the stage of the Little Theater.Some of the most beautiful linesShakespeare ever wrote were com-pletely butchered amid some of themost beautiful scenery that NormanMennes ever created.

Misunderstanding of LinesThere seemed to be a complete mis-

understanding all around. The audi-ence didn't understand the lines anymore than did the actors who mouthedthe words. For the most part theminor characters mumbled in theirbeards, or when they had no beardsmerely mumbled.There were two redeeming features

of the production, Bryant Bean in thepart of Capulet and Frank Hanson asthe good Friar Laurence . Bean's lineswere delivered clearly and as showingan unslerstanding of what their con-tent included. Bean did, however,spoil some of his best lines, the punchlines which came at the end of several

of his speeches.Hanson Like an Oasis

The characterization of Hansonstood out like an oasis in an otherwisedesolate landscape.

Shakespeare's dialogue can not beraced. If this fact could be impressedupon the cast of "Romeo and Juliet"it would make for a much better pre-sentation all around. Dayson De-Conte', one of the most "natural"actors to appear on the stage, spoiledthe dialogue of Mercutio, whose char-acter he portrayed, by his machine-gundelivery.

Rankin's Gestures?Earle. Rankin, as Romeo, read his

lines clearly and with good emphasis.We did, however, object very stronglyto his puppet-like gestures whichseemed to follow some mechanicalprocedure, as though some unseen pup-peteer were pulling the strings.

Katherine Rice contributed a sym-pathetic Juliet who would have beenmuch more effective without the facialgrimaces she found necessary to insert.Her balcony scene was completelyruined because she played to the audi-ence, a practice which is inexcusable

—Photo by Gordon Erikson"Romeo and Juliet," we find the

in any actress outside of burlesque.Competent Performers

Gerard Goulette as Benvolio, MarkIngraham as Montague, Frank Woodas Paris, and William Brown asPrince Escalus all gave competent per-formances in their respective parts.

Juliet's nurse, as portrayed byGwendolyn Cushing was a differentnurse than the audience expected tofind. Here again the lines were de-livered too rapidly for the audience tocatch their full import. But even withthis fault evident there was a certaincompetence about the way she handledher role.

Inadequacy Is the WordThe entire production throughout

lacked the movement and sweep thatcharacterized last season's "Hamlet."The sword play lacked in enthusiasmand earnestness. There seemed to bea feeling that the actors had no heartfor their work, a condition whichcould only lead to a complete lack ofconviction on the part of the audiencethat here was one of the most tragicof all tragedies. Inadequacy is theonly word that seems to fit the situa-tion.

Dr. Payson Smith To ConductNew CourseAtSummer Session"Workshop in Public School Ad-

ministration" will be a course offeredat the University of Maine regularsummer session by Payson Smith,member of the faculty of the school ofeducation at the University and for-mer state commissioner of educationin Maine and in Massachusetts, itwas announced here today by Prof.Roy M. Peterson, director of the ses-sion.

Designed for Superintendents

Designed for superintendents andprospective superintendents, its aca-demic credit will vary from two tosix hours according to the needs ofregistrants. Specific problems brought

to the course by its students will be

discussed in relation to the generalprospectus of topics to be covered,

such as school finance, salaries, or

Seven ElectedTo Tau BeteSeven join .r in the college of engi-

neering have been elected to Tau BetaPi, honorary engineering society, ac-cording to an announcement this weekby Charles Keniston, secretary.

ers.

While intended primarily for gradu-

ate students, undergraduates withteaching or administrative experiencemay be admitted by permission of theinstructor.

Prof. Smith, who has been the re-cipient of honorary doctoral degreesfrom the L'niversity of Maine, andBates and Bowdoin colleges, hasserved on many state and nationalsurveys and educational commissions.

He was a member of PresidentRoosevelt's advisory committee oneducation, whose report has been thebasis of recent educational bills beforeCongress.

Stink RaisedOver WarQuite a stink was raised over

"Background and Issues of theWar," a class conducted by Dr.R. L. Morrow, the other day,and possibly an explanationwould clear the situation up.

Because of its size, the grouprepairs twice weekly to 305 Au-bert. On Tuesday last, at theend of the hour before the classmet, a student inadvertentlytipped over a bottle of benzylchloride.

It happens that the best treat-ment for such a situation is towipe the stuff up with ammonia.Consequently ammonia was ap-plied, and the reaction with thebenzyl chloride was not such aswould immediately prompt oneto start breathing exercises.A general holding of noses

was in order, and any professorwho can lecture under such cir-cumstances certainly deserves tohave his name inscribed in thearchives of the University.

Psychological Nostrum... I Plurality Feels l United Nations

It was brought to our attention the other day that the Navy

has announced a scheme Whereby psychologists would be employed

to, quote, "engender in aviation cadets a hate for our enemies and

their methods."

This business of hating your enemies has been introduced from

several quarters as a psychological nostrum which would insure

success in the present conflict. We have been told that we must

"learn to hate," that we should have nothing but disdain and con-

tempt for our enemies.

Frankly, we are rather disgusted to see things going the saute

way they did during the last war (although we admit we weren't

around much before 1920). A popular comic strip would have us be-

lieve that the Germans are nothing but beetle-browed bullies with little

or no backbone. Hollywood and some of the more sensational maga-

zines would suggest that the Nazis do nothing but kick, beat, and

horsewhip each other.

It would be nice if the Germans were as low as they are de-

picted; for if they were, we should have nothing to worry about.

They would club each other to death, and we could merely let the

thing run its course until they wiped themselves out.

Obviously such a situation as that is fantastic; and it is equally

fantastic to suppose that by some sort of conditioned-response pro-

cess, we can all learn to hate the Germans and thereby win the war.

Our approach to the problem should be positive rather than

negative. First, we should inculcate a healthy respect for the Nazis,

whose ingenuity is rather considerable: and second, we should try to

develop among soldiers and civilians alike an understanding of the

basic concepts of freedom for which the United Nations are fighting.

Possibly it is easier to teach soldiers to hate our enemies on the

face of their highly-Publicized sadistic practices. But belief and

faith are much sounder psychologically than hate or contempt. Peo-

ple will die for what they believe in; they merely try to avoid the

things they dislike.

Kansas Sunflower...Alf M. Landon, the Kansas Sunflower, broke into the news this

week with the warning that Americans should put a stop to the

current "war muddling" and get down to business.

We know, he said, that there is waste and extravagance in

Washington, that there is bungling leadership. But—"because we

have the magnificent resources and manpower, the mass production

machinery, and the men who know how to operate it, the war's dura-

tion depends on how thoroughly and how completely we go at it

from now on.""We need some tough guys in high office," asserted Landon,

"who have only one thought, one ideal, one single purpose. That is,

winning the war."We consider these points well taken; in only one instance did

we have occasion to disagree with the former Kansas governor.

He said: "I do not agree with the President that the American

people need amusement."

Could Lose War

Almost As ManyBelieve The AxisWill Be DefeatedBy Student Opinion Surveys •

AUSTIN, Texas.—While a plu-rality of college students believes thatthere is a possibility of the UnitedNations losing the war to the Axis,

the latest Student Opinion Surveys ofAmerica poll shows that almost asmany believe the Axis will "probably"be defeated, and nearly as many thinkthe Allies definitely will win.

"Which one of these statements

comes closest to expressing your atti-

tude about the present war ?" a nation-

wide cross section of college students

was asked in a poll taken cooperative-

ly by college editors from Maine to

California.

39% Consider Possible Loss

A panel of four answers was then

presented to the interviewers The

statements, along with the answers

in percentages, follow:

The United Nations aredoing all they can, and

they will eventuallydefeat the Axis 26%

The United Nations aredoing as well as could be

expected, and they willprobably defeat the Axis 32

The United Nations are not

doing as well as was ex-

pected, and there is a

chance they might lose

the war 39

The Axis powers are doing

so well it looks as if the

United Nations might

Opinion. Suffers Great Change

Almost fourteen months ago, nearly

a year before the United States en-

tered the war, a Student Opinion Sur-

veys of America poll showed that 88

per cent of the college students be-

lieved that Britain would win the war.

But now, with the recent Japanese

successes in the Dutch East Indies

against the Allies, more students seem

to think there is some chance of a

final Axis victory.It should be noted that a total of

58 per cent of the students interviewed

thinks that the United Nations "will

probably" or will definitely defeat the

Well, now, remember what Aesop or somebody said, Mr. Lan- Axis, while only 39 per cent believe

"there is a chance" that the Axis maydon; "all work and no play makes Jack ..." win, and 2 per cent seem to thing pres-

ent conditions point to an Axis vic-

tory.

Definition, Please...We are seriously considering writing to the Willielmstrasse

for a "definition of terms." It seems that, according to an Associ- icaacca• 1 Gliderated Press dispatch, Berlin has acknowledged total losses • in the MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—(ACP)

Russian campaign of 1,500,000 soldiers.

This may seem like a fairly large number, but rest assured;

for Nazi officials describe these losses as being "absolutely bearable."

This is where we are stumped, because the words "absolutely

bearable" have a rather hazy connotation. The whole affair impresses

us as being just another example of German versatility; if anyone

can pass off losses of 1,500,000 men as being nothing to worry about,

the Nazis certainly can.

Do We Lack Patriotism?By Natalie Curtis

If you will excuse us for getting offthe beaten path this week, we wouldlike to inject our two-cents' worth intoan argument which seems to be gainingrather considerable proportions.

The argument—or more correctly,

accusation—apparently has originatedwith the older generation, which is

indicating the younger generation foran alleged lack of either understandingtif or enthusiasm for the current war.

It would appear that our immediateforebears are looking for the band-wagons and flag-waving rallies whichcharacterized undergraduate activities

during the last war. They do not find

them, they are somewhat disappointed,

and they charge it to a "hyposecretion"

of patriotism.

While reading over a recent A.C.P.

release, we found a quotation by Rev.

Dr. Remsen B. Ogilby, president ofTrinity college, which seems to fit our

side of the situation."Mass thinking, fortunately, is no

characteristic of collegiate groups.

In general the undergraduates of todayare seemingly somewhat tougher in

their thinking and certainly less senti-

mental than were their older brothers,

uncles, and fathers a quarter centuryago. They are loyal and patriotic, but

in a quiet and restrained manner which

would seem to indicate they are try-

ing to base their decisions upon rea-

son rather than emotion."

"0 Tempora, 0 Mores," we say;and here is an illustrative anecdote

from "The Pleasures of Publishing,"

issued by the Columbia UniversityPress.

For one of the mid-year economic

examinations at Columbia College, thefirst subject for the student to expoundupon, and show how much he hadgained from the course, was: "Theprices of the factors of productionare." One student answered as fol-

lows: "I couldn't pass this exam if I

studied for years. An F is all that Ideserve but I wish I could have at-

tended class more often. Instead Ihad to work to make up time that waslost when I was sick. By the way, sir,I won't be here next semester as Ihave been accepted in the Naval AirCorps.

I hope I leave by the 15th of Feb.

but I still need five points of collegecredit and it doesn't look as if I weregoing to get it. This is the queerestfeeling .I think I have had about anexam. I have never done anythinglike this before, but I don't want towalk out of here until about 10:30 soI have to waste time somehow. Wishme luck whoever corrects this for onlythe Lord knows when I'll see a class-room again.

It's too bad I couldn't have writtensomething and appealed to your sym-pathy to pass me but I couldn't getstarted. I studied for this but I guessI studied the wrong things. Goodbye,sir. It would have been a good courseif I had attended it but that provedimpossible."

Comment and Criticism

Animals and Air RaidsBy Sam Collins

The re.pol.e ti at week's sugges-ted air raid rules was so gratifyingthat this week (in all seriousness, how-ever) we present a few regulationsconcerning the care of animals duringa hypothetical air raid.

A few general directions include thefollowing recommendations:

Learn to use first aid on injuredanimals.

Handle gently when bones are bro-ken. Keep animal on uninjuredside and improvise splints.

Treat burns promptly. Cover withtannic acid jelly or strong coldtea.

Horses and other stabled animalsoffer a particular problem because oftheir size and the necessity for rapid

evacuation. Several rules especiallysuggested include the following:

Be prepared for proper actionagainst fires, particularly from in-cendiary bombs.

Use quick release devices to insurerapid evacuation of horses and cat-tle from a burning building.

Keep runways clear of all vehiclesand other obstructions.

Blindfold horses during the emer-gency.

Have pails of water and sand alwaysin readiness. Keep surplus strawand grain off the stable floor.

Small pets, such as cats and dogs,cannot be taken into public air raidshelters but must depend on private

In The SpotlightBy Phil Pierce

The bedroom scene of "Romeo andJuliet" had an actor who was not listedin the cast of characters. last Mondaynight. It seems that somebody pulledthe curtain before technical directorRennes had finished arranging the

scenery to suit his tastes.

This editor wonders if anyone everseriously considered cutting a hole in

the roof of the Little Theater to pro-vide some sort of ventilation?

If any of the ladies have a desire to

reduce, there is no need of going to a

Turkish bath. All they have to do

is to go and sit for a couple of

in the theater.

This reviewer hates to disagree with

critic Oscar Shepard of the "Bangor

Daily News," hut we still have our

pride to consider. Shepard gave the

motion picture play "A Yank on the

Burma Road" a couple of stars in oneof his recent reviews.

The only comment this corner has tomake is that the title is a misnomer.It should read "A Jerk on the BurmaRoad."

We always like the one of the brightboy who cut classes in his correspon-dence school course by mailing themempty envelopes.

Swing is art. So says Dr. J. F.Brown, professor of psychology at theUniversity of Kansas."The difference between Beethoven's

Fifth Symphony and Benny Good-man's 'Opus Y.' is one of degree, andnot one of kind."Shucks, Doc, we could have told you

that long ago if you'd only asked.• • • • • •

Most people who write for a paperspend a good deal of their time try-ing to think up a word that will force-fully express their opinion of the edi-tor who always has something that hewants done in a hurry.

. . . JOBSThe Civil Service commission faces

a tremendous task. Recent passage ofthe Ramspeck amendment brings 85per cent of federal jobs—an all-timehigh—under commission scrutiny.

Workers in non-war agencies must befunneled into at-war agencies. Count-

less new workers must be found anddovetailed into the government army.This means thousands of potential

jobs for college people, whose special-ized training is eagerly sought. Oftenthe government is stepping in, through

civil service, to give college peopleon-the-job training—"majors" in lineswhere they are needed most.An example is the recent move to

enlist college women for "men's work."

As laboratory aides in army arsenals,

they inspect gauges used in testingordnance materials. Co-eds who wish

such jobs should have at least two

years of college work, including some

physics, chemistry, and trigonometry.

•

It's open season "indefinitely" on

seniors and graduates in chemistry,

physics, and engineering. So hot is

the pursuit that civil service has aban-doned competitive examinations inthese fields—probably for the duration.

Simply show on your applicationblanks that you have had requisitetraining. In the case of successfulcandidates who are seniors, "pro-

visional appointments" will be made.Which means jobs, come spring andgraduation.

. . . WAR

It is unlikely, according to nationalSelective Service headquarters, that

any student in the 20-year-old draft

age group will be called up before

June. The lottery isn't until March.

New draft registrants won't be com-

pletely classified until sometime in

May.General Hershey's office has cleared

•The National Education Associa-

tion's educational policies commission

(President Conant of Harvard is a

member) is recommending a plan to

anticipate Selective Service by two to

three years—catch promising boys as

thcy !cave high school, steer them into

fields where they will be of most use

in the war effort.

A "reserved category" of most

The goal of civil service is 100 girlsa month for the next ten months. In-itial pay, $1,620 annually.

Some Jobe in CapitalAlthough about 87 per cent of gov-

ernment jobs are "in the field," asWashingtonians blithely dismiss theUnited States, some are located herein the capital. Don't take too seri-ously what you read and hear ofcrowded and costly living conditionshere. A salary of $2,000 here is equal,roughly, to one of $1,800 in a city ofcomparable size. Living quarters arecrowded to be sure, but turn-over oftenants is high. Which means you'llalways find a place if you watch close-ly and jump quickly.If you were one of the some 16,000

college people who filed with civil ser-vice last month for a "junior pro-fessional assistant" job, it may interestyou to know the exams won't be givenuntil this spring. April's the bestguess.

up the confusion on how new lists willbe integrated with the old. The an-swer is, they won't be. Not exactly.

New Quota Scheme

Instead the war department willbegin an entirely new plan, aboutJune 1, of specifying not only quotanumbers but also the age group fromwhich quotas are to be filled. Thus, ifthe army says it wants men 21 to 35,the-old list will be used; if it wantsmen below 21 or above 35, the new listwill be used.The latest advice to collegians from

Selective Service is still, "stick to yourcollege work until you're called." Pa-triotic fervor has its place, but a wildrush of volunteers will only serve tocomplicate planning.Co-eds are in for careers, with or

without husbands to manage. For"the ultimate" is 9,000.000 more wom-

en workers.

promising boys 17 through 19 would be

allocated to schools and colleges for

training. The "reserved category"

would be picked "absolutely irrespec-

tive" of financial status of their par-

ents, with Uncle Sam financing the ad-

vanced education.

BEAR FACTS.. by Will JohnsHATS OFF!

Not that we feel that Maine men of the sports world are not among the

hest, but, rather, that congratulations are in order for our rivals when such

honors are due, this week we take our hats off to a slim New Hampshire

sophomore who last Saturday night hurled himself into the national track

limelight. Richard "Boo" hforcom, who high jumped 6' 6",, pole vaulted

13' 2", and broad jumped 2! 10" against the Black Bears on February 21 for

meet and field house all-time highs in the first two events, and for a meet

record in the broad jump, took Madison Square Garden fans and the IC4A

competitors from all the nooks of the nation by storm last week-end. The

boy with the bare foot and lucky charm set a new intercollegiate record of

14' 4.A" in the pole vault and won the high jump with a leap of 6' 4". As a

freshman, he won the Junior National A.A.U. outdoor crown in the pole

vault last summer.

THOSE BATES "BUMS"

Now that spring is theoretically around the corner and reports of the

Brooklyn "Bums" and Boston's problem child, Ted Williams, have started

an annual northern migration, it might be well to take a hurried glance in the

direction of Lewiston where the Bates baseball "bums" are holding a pre-

season swatting warm-up.

Coach Raymond "Ducky" Pond has three veteran hurlers on whom he

can rest the weight of the defense of the state diamond crown which the

Bobcats shared with Bowdoin last year. Big Mike Matragrano, a right-

hander from New York, and two Massachusetts boys, Al Wight and Dave

Shiff, compose the mound trio,

hfatragrano looked good in relief last spring and relies mostly on a tricky,

slow delivery. Wight, a junior, spelled Don Webster in past campaigns and

may have learned some of the "Goon's" tricks. Shiff was injured in a car

crash last spring but may return to the fine form he showed in his spohomore

year.Pond is apt to be puzzled as far as the rest of the team goes since gradua-

tion hit hard last June. "Gubby" Genetti, a sophomore, looks like the lead-

ing candidate for the job behind the plate; Carlton Josselyn, for first base

chores; a sophomore trio, Keller, LaRochelle, and Melody, for the remainder

of the infield positions; and a lone outfielder, Del Johnson, to chase the fly-

balls.

PREP COURTMEN CAVORT

Basketball fans will have one last chance to fire a four-gun salute in

Memorial Gym this week-end as Coburn, Kents Hill, Hebron,. and Maine

Central Institute fire away for the winning baskets in the elevento annual

State Championship Prep School Tournament. Many will long remember

the thrills and chills of last year's court climax as Hebron nosed out 14.f.C.I,

in the final seconds of the second overtime, 55 to 53.

And for basketball at its best, keep your eyes on the green, maroon and

black, red and white, and red and yellow jerseys plus the ball, as the best

basketeers Maine prep schools have to offer put the final polish on the waxed

boards this Friday and Saturday. To the winner we can say, congratulations

for winning, and to the losers, congratulations for trying.

Intramural BasketballIn a round robin tourney held March

4 and 5, the North Hall basketballersemerged victorious and were crownedIntramural Champs of the 1942 sea-

son-

The Commuters played Lambda Chiin the first game. Setting a fast pace,the Commuters piled up a nine to twolead at the quarter, and from there inthey were never headed, despite a gamelast half rally by Lambda Chi. Thegame ended Commuters 30, Lambda

Chi 23. Tourtillotte led the Com-

muters with five baskets and threefouls, while Wheeler was high scorerfor Lambda Chi with four baskets.

The final game c hursday night, be-

tween Lambda Chi and North Hall,

was a thriller all the way. At the

quarter the Hall boys were ahead by

a point, but at the half Lambda Chi

led by a basket. With the game all

even going into the third quarter, the

North Hall boys surged out in front,

the final score being North Hall 30,

lambda chi 25.North Hall won its first game of

the round-robin by handing the highly

rated Commuters a 29-25 setback for

their first loss in nine games. It was

North Hall's ninth straight win, as '

the freshmen jumped into an early

lead and held it all the way although

the Commuters came up in the last

period. It was 12-7 at the first period,

17-12 at the half, and 25-19 at the end

of the third period. Al Robertson led

the frosh with 10 points while Bob

Cahoon had six. Gunn was high man

for the losers with nine points.

Co-Champions In The State Series

Second row (left to right) : Manager Brown, White Downes, Steinmetz,

Curtis, Whitten, Coach Kenyon.

Front row (left to right) : Kilpatrick, Morrill, Quint, Abbott, Suminsby,

Nutter.

%Viten questioned concerning the

basketball season just concluded,

Coach Bill Kenyon expressed himself

as very much pleased with what he

termed a "highly successful season."

While winning seven games and los-

ing as many during the the course of

the campaign, the Pale Blue won

themselves a place as co-holder of the

State Championship along with Colby.

Also their performance in the New

England series games was highly com-

mendable.

Small Wins Crown

Among the highlights of the past

season was the sensational scoring rec-

ord which Parker Small chalked up.

His 179 points scored in 14 games was

enough to give him the State scoring

crown and to place him high among

New England scorers.His teammates, Gene Hussey and

Nat Crowley. also stiiod high in the

scoring column with 107 and 90 points,respectively.

The Best GamesWhat- was probably the best game of

the year, at least to the spectators'

eyes, was the 44-42 defeat whichMaine handed Colby here in Memorial

Gym. From the start of the first

period to the end of the second over-time, sparkling hall playing by both

Colby and Maine kept the fans ontheir feet cheering.

Another game which deserves men-tion was the R. I. game here at Maine.

In this game a scrappy Maine team

came back in the second half and

played a fine brand of ball against a

worthy opponent. In spite of the score

the Maine team deserves credit for

their efforts.The prospects for next year's team

are doubtful at present. Coach Ken-yon's starting lineup will all be lost

Hussey, Leger, Crowley, Blake,

Presnell, Small, Pratt, Bartley,

via graduation and the army. As tothe way in which National Defensewill affect the remaining members ofthe squad, it is impossible to say atpresent. One thing is sure, however;and that is that Maine will be raringto go next year with their eyes on anundisputed State Championship.

Hebron, Coburn, MCI, Kents Hill Prep TeamsThis week-end finds the Uni.ersity of Maine hard to fanar of the greater Maine Prep School quintets

for the Annual State Prep School Basketball Tournament. Invita s have been sent to Coburn, Kents

Hill, Hebron, and Maine Central Institute, and more.than one hot battle is expected. The first game will get

under way Friday night at 7:30 with either Coburn opposing Hebron, or Kents Hill playing M.C.I., and the

•econd game is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. The final will be played at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, preceded by the

consolation game at 1:00 p.m. Officials for all games will he Charles Koharian of Fort Fairfield and Jack

McKernan of Bangor. •

Coburn Is Favored

Boasting the best record of the

teams, Coburn Classical Institute

be the outstanding favorite of

tournament. Coach Readon has

ried his squad through the season

will York ChampsFinal Foes In

, 10 wins out of 14 starts. They have

scored a total of 5% points to their

opponents 516. They knocked the

Maine Frosh off in the yearlings' last

game of the season to the tune of 52to 39.

Although their schedule did not call

for a meeting with the Big Green of

Hebron, they are paired with this

quintet in the semi-finals. The first

time that they met M.C.I. one of their

four defeats was recorded against

them. MCI. outplayed them to win

31 to 28, but in the return game Co-

burn came through to win 43 to 40.

Kents Hill fell victim to this smooth

passing squad twice, 55 to 42 and 50

to 49.

Anderson and Collins Star

The lone representative from the

lower end of the state, the Big Green

of Hebron likewise boasts a good rec-

ord, having won 10 games and lost 7.

Their total points averaged up to 55

per game to their opponents 49 for a

I total of 935 to 835. They also beat

the Maine Frosh, but in a much closer

game. The Big Green managed, after

a tight contest, to nose out the frosh

by one point, 43 to 42.

The Hollis-coached team did lose

to both the other entrants in the tour-nament. M.C.I. had quite a job in the

first encounter to nose them out 49 to

46; but in the return game the Maroon

and Black had little trouble in down-

ing them 52 to 46. Rents Hill had no

in the pole vault and broad jump, and

Joe Leclair and Emerson in the high

jump. Leclair and Bunnell will also

be the hurdlers for this meet.

Indoor TrackFrosh Are UndefeatedIn Their Four Meets;York Power UnknownThe curtain will be mm down on the

freshman indoor track season on Sat-

urday when the York County Cham-pions meet the froth in the field housein a night meet to be run in conjunc-tion with the varsity affair withNortheastern.

Ken Vennett and Sid Skiffingtonwill be the frosh choices in the dash.Sid had an accident in'the Bates meetas he came off a corner in the 300 but

may be able to run this week Vennett

will be the favorite in the 300 while

Howie Barber will pick up points in

the 600 and broad jump.

In the 1000 it will he Bill Marble

while Elmer Folsom and Virgil Colewill handle the mile. Barber may

also run the 1000 along with Barkley

Goodrich and John Doescher. John

Crocket, will he running with Barber

in the 600.

In the field

*trouble in either of their two games.Hebron fell in the first game 64 to 52and in the second game 82 to 53.

M. C. I Won TenMaine Central Institute will venture

back to Alumni Gym to place its bidfor the State Championship. AlthoughCoach Higgins started out with some-what of a green squad, he managed tokeep his team on the winning column

more than the losing column. The

Maroon and Black closed the regular

schedule with 10 wins and 6 losses.

The Maine Froth, coming from be-

hind. managed to skin by them, 41

to 40. They won over Hebron twice.

49 to 46 and 52 to 46. Coburn beat

them once, 43 to 40, and they defeated

Coburn once, 31 to 28. They walked

over Kents Hill in the first game, 46

to 39, and they played the second game

last Saturday.

Kents Hill Is Dark Horse

Kents Hill is the only team of the

four which has suffered more defeats

than it has victories. The Hill squad

has won 5 and lost 8 games. They

have averaged 46 points per game to

their opponents 48 for a total of 597

points to the opposition's 622. The

Maine Frosh handed them the worst

defeat of the four entrants. The year-

lings had little trouble in walking

away to a 54 to 38 victory.

Coach Herman has faith in his fair-

ly green squad and predicts that they

will be the dark horse of the tourna-

events it will be Bill ment. The team lost both of its two,

Bunnell. Earle Vickery, and Mike scheduled games to Coburn, 55 to 42

Mininni in the weights, Bob Emerson and 50 to 49, although they did look

good in places. They came through

with flying colors to take Hebron 64

to 52 and 82 to 53; but again lost to

MCI., 46 to 39.

Northeastern vs MaineThe end of the 1942 string of var-

sity indoor track victories looms Sat-

urday night, when Northeastern Uni-

versity brings a powerful, well-balanced team to Orono for the onlyeverting meet of the year. The visitorsmatch Maine when it comes to bal-ance, and top the Pale Blue when itcomes to power.

That by no means should be takento mean that Coach Chester A. Jen-kins' crew of runners, jumpers, hur-dlers, and weightmen has conceded themeet to the Huskies, but it does meanthat the visitors will be heavy fa-vorites.

Maine Working for WinMaine wants to win in the worst

sort of way, and most of the strongerrunners are already planning to doubleup in two events, whether or notCoach Jenkins asks them to, just onthe off chance that they may in thatway prevent Northeastern from scor-ing a point or two.

Northeastern is led by the famoustwin-brother combination of Bob andBill Carroll, but boasts plenty of othergood men in every event. They haveMike Prohodslcy, former IC4A twomile champ; Ed Parker, cross-countrystar; Fitzpatrick, third in both the300 and the 600 a year ago; Bill Fri-ary, Reggis Cooke, and Francis Cor-coran in the dash and 300.

Hodge Podge in High JumpDeimo Alberghini and Powers in

the hurdles; "Hodge" Podge in thehigh jump; Lavin in the high andbroad jumps; Tarbell, who won at11 feet 9 inches last year in the polevault; and football stars Gale Foster,Gustafson, and Pistorino in the shotput and 35 pound weight throw.The Carrolls between them should

take care of the 600, 1000, and mile.Last year Bob won the 600, placedsecond to Bill in the 1000. Bill islikely to run the mile as well as the1000 this time.

Cooke Favored in DashCooke a negro will be favored in the

70 yard dash, although Corcoran setthe meet record two years ago at 7.4seconds. Prohodsky won the mile ayear ago, but is likely to team up in the

' two mile with Parker this year.

Both Podge and Lavin are normally

good for better than 6 feet, 1 inch in

the high jump, while Lavin has alreadybettered 21 feet in the broad jump thisyear. Foster, a Portland boy, probablyisn't as good as Bob Dodge of Mainein the weight throw, while Weismanshould be at least equal to Gustafsonand Pistorino in the shot put.

Mainstays for Maine

Maine's reliance will as usual be onStan Phillips, Dick Youlden, and JohnRadley in the dash and 300, JohnStewart in the 600, Dwight Moody inthe 1000, Dick Martinez in the mile,Phil Hamm in the two mile, Bill Had-lock in the hurdles, Walt Brady and AlClements in the high jump, and Wise-man and Dodge. These men will allhave to turn in their best performancesof the season if Maine is to win.

Apparently outclassed in the fightfor first, but still apt to figure in theMaine scoring, are Warren Nute andCharlie Rowley in the pole vault, Tal-bot Crane and Hadlock in the broadjump, Bill Harding and Herb Johnsonin the weight throw, George Walkerin the shot put, Al Hutchinson in thedash, Fred Kelso in ti e 600, HenryCondon in the mile, Leo Estabrook inthe two mile, and Dick Fuller and BobJenkins in the hurdles.

Phillips Possibly OutStan Phillips may be out of action

because of an old muscle injury thatis bothering him again. He won thedash last year. *Bill Harding mayprove to be the darkhorse in the weightthrow. He fouled a 51 foot practicetoss Tuesday, good for a first almostany day, anywhere.

Pale Blue men who can be countedupon to work hard to upset north-eastern men, even though their ownchances of scoring are practically nil,

are: Ted Phillips and Charles Chap-man in the dash and 300, Dave Cald-well and Ken Johnson in the 600, Tom

Sleeper in the 1000, Al Crockett in themile, Mark Ingraham and Irwin Hig-

gins in the two mile, Dick Palmer in

the hurdles, Dwight Sawin in the

weight, George Lobozzo in the pole

vault, and John Gorman in the shot

put.

Every Event a Toss-up

Maine should do her highest scoring

in the shot put and weight throw, while

Northeastern is apt to clean up in the

Northeastern vs Maine - -(Continued from Page Three)

broad jump and pole vault. On thetrack every event is a toss-up for first,hut Northeastern is all too likely totake two of the three places in each of

these events.

Bill Hadlock paced the squad Satur-

day at Lewiston to a 68-49 win over

Bates that was closer than the score

indicates. Hadlock scored first in the

hurdles, second in the broad jump, and

tied for second in the high jump, for

ten points. Dick Martinez placed first

in the mile and second in the two mile

for eight points. Other first place win-ners were Dodge, Clements, Hamm,Moody, and Herb Johnson.

The latter set a new meet and col-lege record when he threw the discus152 feet, 54 inches. He sent onethrow whirling up against the roofnetting of the Bates cage with suchforce that Ray Thompson, Bobcatcoach, estimated it would ordinarilyhave been good for at least 165 feet,or within ten feet of the world outdoorrecord, and better than all known in-door records in the event.

Animals - -(Continued from Page Two)

shelters for protection. The animal

should be firmly secured, and food and

water should be on hand for emergen-

cy feeding.Dogs and especially cats often be-

come panicky when unusual noises oc-

cur, and various treatments are recom-

mended. •Treatment of dogs for fear:

For mild cases-use sodium bromide;

for severe rases. nembutal cap-

sules. Dosage in both cases de-

pends on weight or size of dog.

Treatment of cats for fear:1!., grain tablet of amytal given bymouth to an eight-pound cat willinduce sleep and quid.

Sturdy wooden or wicker cagesshould be provided for pet birds. Thecage should be covered and the birdremoved to the safest room in thebuilding. Attention should be givento properly ventilated coverings forprotection from weather extremes.
