II - The Death of a Free Country

Freedom From FearA Message From Behind the Iron Curtain

By George Hartman as told to William S. McClanahan '55(George Hartman, a graduate student in architecture at Princeton

University, was born in Czechoslovakia in 1925.He. has vividly recalled threeepisodes from his experiences as a political prisoner of the Nazis from 1942-1945,as a witness of the Communist overthrow of his democratic Czech gov-ernment in 1948 and as a refugee from the grip of Red terrorism. The sec-ond of .these episodes follows.)

In April, 1945, when the firstAmerican tanks liberated Buchen-wald prison, I hoped to start a newlife and forget the past. To live inthe shadow of such memories wouldbe ghastly, if not impossible. Forthree more years I tried to live un-der the pretention that there wouldbe no more wars, or camps. I tried todo as anybody else would—to live thenormal life of a college student withhis daily worries about examinations,sports and girls and simply to enjoythe. life of a free Czechoslovakia.

That this was not possible is ob-vious enough today. The story ofCzechoslovakia, well known to all ofyou, should serve as a warning to anydemocracy, big or small, which iscarrying on a fight against a totalit-arian regime.

Communist Arrival Is SurpriseIf you had come to me a few days

before the Communists took over thecoalition government of Czechoslo-vakia and had told me that this wouldhappen, I would have laughed in yourface. The idea sounded absurd. Czech-oslovakia, ■ with her traditional dem-ocratic spirit, with leaders such asPresident Masaryk and PresidentBenes, was not going to follow the ex-ample of Russia, Poland or Hungary.

On February 24, 1948,none but theCommunist newspapers were distri-buted in Prague. The government ra-dio station broadcast nothing but

Communist programs. Even PresidentBenes was not allowed to speak to hispeople. The police were infiltrated bythe Communists.

Students March to See PresidentThe next day, some 10,000 students

from Charles University assembled toproceed to the residence of Benes atHradcany Castle. Everything seemedlost. The absurd had happened. Wemarched, with no noise or shouting, inperfect single file. While we weremarching to the castle, thousands oforganized Communistswere assembledin the main square of Prague.

We. wanted to see the President, toreassure him that the students wouldnot yield to. any terror, no matterwhether it was Nazi or Communist.In 1939, nine years earlier, the sametype of student demonstration hadbeen checked by the Nazis with sev-eral executions and hundreds of de-portations.

Police Block StreetThis time again we faced the police.

The tragedy was that it was not theGerman police, but that the Czechswere going against their own coun-trymen. A cordon of police blockedus in the, narrow and steep NerudovaStreet, leading up the hill to the cas-tle. We demanded that a delegationof students be sent to the. President.We began to shout very loudly and in

HRADCANY CASTLE, with the spires of its Cathedral rising above it, |graces the skyline of Prague. Ten thousand students tried to reach Presi- ident Benes in the castle after the Communist overthrow of the government.

Dean Says Date of Late Spring VacationDetermined by 'Late Swing' of Formula

"Spring Vacation is the latest thatit can possibly be scheduled this year,from April 5 to 14, because we've hitthe late swing of our formula for de-termining the school year," Dean ofthe College Francis R. B. Godolphin'24 stated yesterday.

"Every university has its formula,sometimes vacations coincide, andsometimes they don't," he continued."This is the first time in my experi-ence that Princeton has been this farout of step with the others."

Depends on CommencementThe University's formula for de-

termining the school year states thatCommencement must be on the. Tues-day between June 11 and 17. Thisyear Commencement is the latest itcan possibly be, June 17. The collegeyear must start 38 weeks before thisdate and spring vacation comes eightweeks after the beginning of the sec-ond term.

If Easter is on the eighth Sundayafter the new term, the vacation isscheduled from the Thursday beforeto the Thursday after Easter. How-ever, this year Easter falls on theninth Sunday; so the. University givesits vacation during Holy Week.

Next year the University will starton the backward swing of its formulawith Commencement one day earlier

and spring vacation from April 2 to9.Easter falls on the fifth.

Affects Bermuda VacationsThis year, however, many students

are complaining because most of theEastern college have their vacations aweek earlier. Reservations at the Stu-dent Travel Bureau for trips to Ber-muda have, fallen off by 75 per centwith only 15 men registered at thatagency. The Princeton Rugby teamwill be unable to compete in the tour-naments at Bermuda.

Nassoons Will SingInPuertoRico HotelDuring Vacation Jog

The Princeton Nassoons will travel•to Puerto Rico on their annual spring-vacation trip, tour manager Barry CPhelps '53 announced yesterday. It isthe first time, that the group hastraveled such a distance from theU. S., although they have been toBermuda in the past.

The popular songsters will enter-tain with their repertoire of 50 songsat the. Condado Beach Hotel at SanJuan, Puerto Rico. The trip is being

sponsored by Pan American Airlines.Sing In Fiesta Room

The Nassoons will leave Princetonon Friday and fly directly to PuertoRico. While there, they will do mostc.f their entertaining at the FiestaRoom of the hotel, popular meetingplace for the island's American col-lege contingent.

Eleven to Make TripEleven men will make the trip,

Phelps revealed. First tenors will bePhelps and William R. Pickering '53.Second tenors are Dunbar Abston Jr.'53, James D. Larkin '53 and WilliamG. Thomas '54.

The baritones are President Lamb-ert Heyniger '53, Garrit L. Schoon-maker '53 and Jeremiah Ford III '54.Lewis T. Byron '53, Clark M. Drie-meyer '53 and Richard G. Jones Jr.'54 are the basses.

Two Princeton Alumni, Stevenson and Williams,Considered Presidential Nomination Possibilities

Adlai E. Stevenson '22, Governor ofIllinois, seemed yesterday one of themost likely candidates for the Demo-cratic Presidential nomination.

The Princeton alumnus, who hasnot yet indicated whether he wouldaccept his party's bid if it were of-fered to him, returned to Illinois fromWashington leaving behind him agreat wake of political speculation.

Although he said in Chicago that"my status is quo, I'm running forGovernor of Illinois," many observersfelt that Stevenson was more unlikelythan ever to turn down an offer.

A.nother Midwestern governor andPrinceton alumnus was also men-tioned as a possible candidate.

Williams "Interested"G. Mermen Williams '33, Michigan

governor, announced Monday that "ifthe people want my services on thenational level, I certainly will be in-

terested in doing what I can to servethem."

With President Truman not a can-didate, Williams will almost certainlygo to the convention as a favorite, sonchoice. Despite these votes-in-hand, itwas generally felt that Williams doesnot intend to make a serious bid un-til 1956.

Vice-Presidency,He has already indicated that he

would not accept a Vice-Presidentialnomination. If he changes his mind,his chance of winning the spot de-pends largely on Stevenson's eventualposition. The Democrats almost cer-tainly would not put up a slate head-ed by two Midwestern governors.

Williams' possible candidacy wasnot widely mentioned until PresidentTruman withdrew. On the other hand,Stevenson has long been considered.

Time magazine featured the. Gov-

ernor in a January cover article, andLife cited him among the top pos-sibilities.

Stevenson-KefauverMercer County Representative

Charles R. Howell, a Democrat, an-nounced yesterday that he would sup-port a Stevenson-Kefauver ticket.More commonly mentioned has been aslate led by Stevenson and RichardRussell, Senator from Georgia.

Popular support for the formerManaging Editor of the Princeton-ian began to appear yesterday.

In St. Louis and Chicago, -Steven-son-for-President clubs were formed,and Governor Dennis Roberts ofRhode Island announced that he fa-vored Stevenson.

It has been generally believed thatPresident Truman's own favorite can-didate was the Illinois Governor. Tru-man has refused to deny this.

Yale's BuckleyTo Talk TonightAbout Freedom

William F. Buckley Jr., the authorof the controversial book, God andMan at Yale, will speak on"The Su-perstitions of Academic Freedom" to-night at 7:15 in the Common Room ofthe Graduate College.

Buckley, who went to Yale in 1946after serving in the Army during thewar, headed the Yale Daily Newsduring the year before his gradua-tion in 1950. A.s chairman he arousedan apathetic readership with his live-ly editorials which the class historiansaid "neatly undercut tolerance andeverything to the left of SenatorTaft."

Subversion of ChristianityGod and Man at Yale is Mr. Buck-

ley's answer to what he terms thesubversion of Christianity and indi-vidualism by allowing individual fa-culty members to teach as they seefit, if they are "honest and profes-sionally competent."

Buckley believes that a universityfaculty should represent the alumnithrough the rulings of the trustees.

Buckley is alarmed at the evidenceof atheism on the Yale campus andin the classroom, and how theseviews are fostered by the faculty.He also states that the Yale Econom-ics Department undermines individ-ualism by concentrating on collectiv-ist theories and "Responsibilities ofthe State."

"Extraordinary Incongruity"Buckley believes that "an institu-

tion deriving its moral and financialsupport from Christian individualistsproduces an extraordinary incongru-ity by persuading the sons of thesesupporters to be atheistic socialists."

TonightBuckley will talk on how theSuperstitions of Academic Free-dom have, caused this situation.

In addition to his activities on thepaper, Buckley was Class Orator anda member of the secret Skull andBones society.

Triangle Club PlansSongwriting Contest

In Older to distribute a new tunewith possibilities of becoming a popu-lar hit this summer, the TriangleClub will sponsor a songwriting con-test for the writers who responded tothe Triangle call yesterday.

In the. past several Triangle songshave become national favorites. Theseinclude two songs by Brooks Bow-man, "East of the Sun" and "Loveon a Dime," from the 1934 show,"Stag at Bay," directed by JoshuaLogan '31. Last year Charleston fansacross the nation went wild over"Steam Roller Operators Ball" from"Too Hot for Toddy."

At the same time Donald J. Suth-erland '53, Publicity Director of Tri-angle, announced that songs from

Eye," with lyrics writtenby F. Scott Fitzgerald, will be pre-sented on WPRU tonight at 11:15by the Triangle Club.

Charles H. Schultz '54, Hugh G.Hardy '54 and Peter A. K. Reese '54,accompanied by Glenn G. Paxton Jr.'53, will do the singing.

SDA Will SupportStevenson in 1952,Paul '53 Announces

The Princeton Chapter of the Stu-dents for Democratic Action an-nounced yesterday that they werebacking Governor Adlai E. Steven-son '22 of Illinois for the Democraticcandidacy for President.

SDA president Peter C. Paul '53made it clear that the decision wasmade before President Truman an-nounced that he would definitely notrun again. The vote was taken inconnection with a poll being con-ducted by the national board of theorganization, which is composed of 80chapters.

The SDA, organized primarily topromote student interest in local andnational political affairs, also plansto send delegates to the Convention ofAmericans for Democratic Action to

of the top individual performancesof Tiger basketball history when hescored 30 points against Pennsylvania

I on their home court. His inspiredperformance enabled the Tigers totop the Quakeits 79-77 and sent themon their way to the Ivy title andthe NCAA playoffs.

Murray-Dodge Ceiling Collapses,Nearly Strikes Princeton Student

Arguments for the speedy construc-tion of the proposed Chancellor GreenCampus Center received a substantialboost yesterday when a large sectionof the Murray-Dodge ceiling collapsed.

The heavy plaster fell at about3:05 p .m. It ruined a table, a lampand — nearly — Richard F. Weeks'54.

Weeks was standing at the maga-zine rack in the present Center'slounge, when about twelve squarefeet of ceiling nearly crushed him.

There was apparently no connectionbetween yesterday's mishap and theclosing of the Center earlier this yearbecause of filth. Some students, nev-ertheless, saw in the event anotherargument for the new Center.

Photo by Richard F. Weeks '54FALLING PLASTER nearly hit a Princeton Sophomore yesterday in thelounge at Murray-Dodge. The hole was about twelve feet square.

Princeton Will BenefitFrom Glee Club Trip

Throughout the past year Princeton organizationsof all sizes and varieties have been making trips tovarious parts of the country and spreading the nameof the University in the process. First it was thebaseball team and its trip to Omaha, and more re-cently the Triangle tour and the Varsity five's par-ticipation in the NCAA finals in Chicago have con-

tinued the trend. However, noneof these groups have embarked onas ambitious a project as that un-dertaken by the Princeton GleeClub in its trip to the West Coaststarting last night.

Besides setting some sort ofprecedent in travelling so exten-sively by plane, the Glee Club isalso the first Princeton organiza-tion to journey west of Denver,

where the hockey team made an appearance a yearago. President Stokes Carrigan and the other GleeClub officers are to be congratulated fc/r the amountof work they have put into this trip in order to in-sure its success.

A large amount of credit is also in order forthe Princeton alumni in the cities to be visited by theClub. Besides putting up most of the money to fi-nance the Club's appearance, these alumni are doingmost of the work in organizing the concerts in thevarious cities. It is especially encouraging to notethat in the West, where the alumni have not beenso fortunate as their Eastern classmates in entertain-ing groups from Campus, there is the same sort ofspirit and drive to make the Glee Club's visit asuccessful one. Without such strong alumni support,a concert tour like this would be impossible.

Princeton University will be the direct beneficiaryof this tour, if the good-will aroused by similarjourneys to other parts of the country in past yearsis to be any criterion. We wish the Glee Club thegreatest success possible on its transcontinental trip.

A Building RevoltsThe collapse of the ceiling in Murray-Dodge Hall

yesterday has many implications which bear the mostserious thought. Contentions that it was merely aharmless April Fool's joke that the old buildingwas trying to perpetrate on unsuspecting loungersbeneath do not hold up under serious investigation.Just what the old edifice was trying to protest ishard to ascertain, however.

One cause might be the impending removal ofthe Campus Center, which has livened the place upconsiderably. Maybe, even though the SCA is an-xious to be rid of the sandwich bar, Murray-Dodgeitself isn't so happy about the whole thing.

The janitor issue might also have shaken loosethe plaster. That Princetonians could get so excitedabout the impending possibility of having to maketheir own beds may have come as quite a shock.

Or maybe the plaster fell over religious contro-versy. The chosen spot was right under KeithBeebe's office, but the possibility that Mr. Beebemight have been stamping his feet was ruled out bythe fact that he is in the Middle West.

The fallen plaster has one good ramification. Allthe ceilings in Murray-Dodge received a thoroughcheck yesterday afternoon.

Behind the Screen

By Richard L. Milliard '52A Valuable Commodity

The star creates the category of picture — Western,

musical, comedy, romance, cloak and dagger, etc. If yousee that Esther Williams is billed in a certain feature,you go for certain reasons and if the studio is clever,you are not disappointed. Hollywood feels that, unless apicture is of such a fascinating nature that it needs nostar appeal (The Thing, Wlien Worlds Collide), it must

otherwise have a big name attachedto it. It is interesting to see how thestudios calculate the type of audi-ence which will be interested in thefilm and try to star a person whowill reinforce the appeal or draw innew customers. I cannot, however, ex-plain the rumor that Van Johnsonwill play the part of Vincent VanGogh. Possibly, the studio feels thatthe bobby-soxers (or whoever John-son appeals to) will be drawn into

intrigues of the painter's life.A star cannot be created by the studio. The publicity

men can do a lot to surround a "name with glamour andlegend," and the producer can be sure, the star is castwell, but the public must provide the final ingredient.It will be lured by a "name" when it discovers that thestar can be counted upon to provide consistently a cer-tain type of character.

It is a known fact that such an actor is usually notable to act different roles, In my opinion the most skill-ful star in American movies is Clark Gable. In TheHucksters he retired into a .telephone booth, insertedthe proper coin and made a call to one of his numerousgirls. Nothing could be heard through the booth, but heprovided every intonation through a superb pantomimeand ended with a sly kiss into the speaker which broughtappreciative sighs from the feminine audience as wellas envious giggles from the males.

Obviously, this is not "acting" in the finer sense ofthe word, but it brings in the cash. Obviously, too, onemust have cash to make a movie. Therefore, in most pic-tures, it is necessary to make a compromise. If the di-rector is sincerely interested in providing elevating en-tertainment, he must use the star in his expected per-sonality but add subtleties to other parts of the film.A work like A Place in the Sun started with an almosthopeless cast from the point of view of versatile acting'ability, but the director used his opponents' abilities toadvantage and created a very fine film. The fact thatother directors cannot do the same illustrates the lackof ability and poor aspirations of directors rather thanthe inherent defects of the "star system."

Behind the Ivy CurtainKaz Enters New Field;Dodds Saved From Water

By Princeton Cholly

KAZ HAS DONE IT AGAIN!, according to an ad ina nationwide magazine. The advertisement, run by theHouse of Kaz, 210 Fifth Aye., New York, leads off withthe statement, "ONLY 5 MINUTES A DAY for a MOREGLAMOROUS BUST LINE." The item then goes on todescribe a new scientific discovery called the COIL TEN-SION DEVELOPER, "a lightweight, streamlined ex-

ercising developer specifically de-signed to help DEVELOP, TONEand FIRM the underlying musclessupporting the breasts which are im-portant for bustline beauty." The, adconcludes with the startling info thatthe COIL TENSION DEVELOPERplus Chart can be had for only $5.95prepaid, and a manual for BustBeauty Care will be included free.Commented former, "Prince" chair-man Bill Rentschler '49, who sent in

the item, "Our hero apparently has multiple interests."

University photographer, was approached at the finalsof the, NCAA swimming meet Saturday night by a youngtownie, who offered to push President Harold W. Doddsinto the pool as he was congratulatingwinners for a merefive-dollar fee. (The townie was to get the fee, notDodds.) Richards nobly refused to get the picture of theyear, but apparently his chief motive in declining wasfear of not getting satisfaction for his five dollars.

SportsAngles

By William T. Dalton '54Ln 1904, Princeton graduated one

of the best center fielders ever tocavort around the outer pastures ofUniversity Field. More than that,Wallace B. Cosgrave gained a reputa-tion as one of the freshest but funni-est guys ever to take leave of Nas-sau Hall via a respectable route, andWally added to this in subsequentyears as a semi-pro player through-out the East.

Princeton officials have long sincegiven up attempting to locate thenumber of baseball uniforms whichdisappeared from the campus in theyears 1901-1904, but it's more thanlikely that Eddie Donovan wouldgladly give up a few uniforms if hecould find a Cosgrave to hawk thefly balls which go out center fieldway this year. The tall, lean out-fielder captained the Tiger nine inhis senior year and returned as acoach in 1906 and 1907.

Cosgrave was not one for beatingaround the bush. On the day aftergraduation he found his way acrossthe mud-flats of- New Jersey fromTigertown to Hoboken and strolledinto the offices of the local semi-pro club. There he learned thatmanager Dave Driscoll — who laterbecame an executive with the Brook-lyn Dodgers — was down at the cor-ner having a shave.

Cosgrave went down to the cornerbarber shop, opened the door andhollered, "Is there a guy named Dris-coll here?"

Driscoll, an amiable but quick-tempered Irishman, raised himselfslightly from the barber's chair andanswered "Yeah, I'm Driscoll."

"Well, I wanta play ball for you.""If you could wait till I'm through

with my shave and would lower yourvoice, I might be able to talk toyou."

"Well, how long're y'gonna be?""About ten minutes.""I GUESS I can wait."After learning from Cosgrave that

he was as good if not better thananyone on the club, Driscoll wentover to the clubhouse and told hisplayers, "We got the freshest kidI've ever met playing for us todayand I want you boys to give him awork-out."

Enter Cosgrave: "Hi!"No answer."What the devil's the. matter with

this ball club? Can't anyone speak?"In that afternoon's ballgame, Cos-

grave turned the ribbing against hismates with his fine fielding, surehitting and wise cracks after eachof his own sensational moves.

The lean outfielder — he was awonder to his friends because ofhis failure to put on weight de-spite an enormous consumption ofbeer — continued wise-cracking hisway throughout an outstanding semi-pro career with the Orange A. C,the Crescent Club and the Ridge-woods, both of Brooklyn. In thosedays these were top-notch teamswhich played exhibition games onSundays with major league teams inNew Jersey, because of New YorkState law prohibiting ball playingon the Sabbath. Cosgrave proved hecould hit and field with the best of,the major leaguers.

Switching from baseball to a morelucrative venture, Cosgrave estab-lished himself as a leading busi-nessman in New York. In 1939, at

the age of 56, he died, only threedays after being warned in jest byDriscoll — a friend since the day ofthe barber shop scene ■—■ that therewas to be "another drawing (death)in about ten days."

It's been a long time since anyoneof Cosgrave's ability at either base-ball or wise-cracking performed onthe local diamond and another mightbe coming along soon. Certainly, Ed-die Donovan would be well satisfiedif a reborn Cosgrave approached himthis afternoon, shouting, "I wantaplay ball for you."

Tiger Wins IAA Cage TitleIn Last Second, 48 to 47

A free throw by Jack McCune in the last second of play gave Tiger Inna 48-47 victory over Pyne and the lAA basketball championship last night.

McCune's free throw climaxed a hectic eecond half during which the- leadchanged hands nine times.

Dodds Leads ScoringJack Dodds scored 19 points to

lead the scoring for Tiger, whileDick Conroy scored 18 for Pyne.Warren Perkins of Pyne was thirdwith 14 points.

Pyne was unable to solve the Tigerdefense for most of the game, havingto resort to long set shots.

Tiger broke into a 19-to-8 lead atthe end of -the first quarter, but aPyne rally cut the margin to 26-24at the half.

In the second half neither teamcould move more than four points infront. With one minute remainingtwo free throws by Conroy tied thescore at 47*11. Tigers stalled untilthe final five seconds when McCunedrove in for a shot and was fouled byPerkins, setting up the winning point.

Shooting Percentage CloseThe game was actually decided on

free throws, as Tiger hit on 12 outof 21 while Pyne could only sinkseven of 15.

Shooting percentages from the floorwere practically the, same, the win-ners hitting on 18 out of 59 shots for

a percentage of .305 while Pyne sank20 out of 66 for a .303 percentage.Box score:

unison, "17 November," the day in1939 when the Nazis killed a numberof students as they tried to defendCharles University with machineguns.

At that moment, cars approached,packed with more police who had beenordered to drive out the students. Asthey approached us, rifles in hand,we started to sing the national an-them. The police, surprised, stoppedand stood at attention. But as soon aswe had stopped, an officer gave theorder to attack. We started to singagain but the police no more respect-ed it. They opened fire and severalstudents fell. A girl next to me wasbleeding. Several other girls, tryingto make an escape into a church, weredragged out and beaten by the police.

In front of me was an old, white-haired policeman who was weeping.His son was among the demonstra-ting students. In a little while wewere dispersed.

First Thought of EscapeIt was then that I first thought of

escape. Free Czechoslovakia existedno longer. The only successful fightagainst Communism would be fromthe outside. But it took me ten moremonths before I succeeded in myplans.

As I was still a student at CharlesUniversity during those ten months, Ihad a real opportunity to witnesswhat was going on under the Com-munist domination. As Communismhad been one of the four politicalparties in Czechoslovakia since 1918,the tendency was to think of it in in-

ternal, purely national terms, whilein reality it was Russian.

Invitation to Join CommunistsOne afternoon two students, a girl

and a boy, came to my apartment withan invitation to join the Communistparty. Tlyey devoted -their time forthis missionary work every Sunday.They began this 'way:' ~ "We knoweverything you are going to tell us,George. There are manythingswrong.There are camps and prisons andthere is not enough criticism in theparty, but you must understand thatthis is a revolution and some incon-

veniences are natural as a result ofprogress. Now, it is no good to criti-cize. We need you; we need all thegood people. If only you join, you can.help us build."

The activities of the students' Com-munist party, as they outlined them,included organizing working brigadesand skiing tours, distributing free,theatre tickets, sponsoring the ex-change of foreign students and manyother things. "Now," they said, "willyou join?"

Politely, I threw them out. I real-ized I had made a big mistake andthat sooner or later my time wouldcome. Once you are asked to join theCommunist party, you dare not re-fuse. A compromise in a Communiststate is not possible. The slogan, "Ifyou are not for Communism you areagainst it," held true. It was alsoclear that the place for the personwho was not for it was in a "re-edu-cational" can^.

Most Powerful Factor—FearAmong all the known aspects of

Communism, I would like to stressone: the fear. Fear, abstract as it is,can become the most powerful factorin the Communist policy. Not know-ing our enemies, many of whom hadbeen our close friends, we were afraidto talk, even in our own homes. Itwas the uncertainty—or better, it wacthe certainty that one day therewould be a knock on your door andyou would disappear like the rest,that drove, one crazy.

After ten months of such life, I,my brother, Jan, and two other stu-dents finally decided we could notwait one day longer. Slipping throughthe Iron Curtain would be dangerous—it was really made °f bullets. Butwe had reached the point where deathwas no deterrent. When the decisionwas made we felt free already. Thefour of us started to the border, un-der the pretention of going for a va-cation skiing trip, and with the in-tention of never coming back.

i(ln tomorrow's chapter, entitled"Flight for Freedom," George, Hart- <man will conclude this series by de-scribing his actual escape across theheavily guarded border of Czechoslo-valna into Bavaria, in the Americanzone of Germany.)

Varsity Stickmen Will FaceThree Top Teams in South

Princeton's lacrosse team faces arough Spring Vacation schedule.. With-in the short space of six days it playsthree major games; the team will op-pose Virginia, Duke and the MountWashington lacrosse, Club.

Virginia and Duke have both lostone game. Virginia dropped a closeone to Maryland 12-11, while the BlueDevils lost to the Maryland lacrosseClub by a score of "9-2. Both winningteams are considered very powerful,however.

Mount Washington is a differentstory. Coach Ferris Thomsen consid-ers them the best team in the na-tion. In a 23-gaine series Princetonhais won only once, and flhis win wasgarnered by last year's championshipteam.

Grippe EpidemicCoach Thomsen has been greatly

hindered in his efforts to rebuild the

team by an epidemic of intestinalgrippe, Guy Hollyday, star defense-man, has bieen sidelined for two weeksand several other members of thesquad have been affected.

Because of the epidemic, CoachThomsen has not been able to havehis first-stringers practice together.As a result he is not satisfied withthe coordination between the mid-fieldere and the attack.

Mahoney Hurt. Thomsen is pleased, however, by theplay of Captain- iGasey Miller, goalieCy Horihe and "attack Mike Mahoney.Unfortunately Mahoney hurt hisankle in practice yesterday. It lisnot yet known how bad the injury is.

When asked about the chances ofthe team, Thomsen said that althoughit was not going yet, it is the kind ofteam that plays well under pressure.

Party After Virginia GameImmediately after the Princeton-

Virginia lacrosse game at Mt.Washington, Baltimore, on Wed-nesday, April 9 at 3:45, there willbe a cocktail party for Princetonand Virginia, alumni and under-graduates at the Lacrosse Club.

Tickets may be obtained fromNelson T. Offut, 8 South Street,Baltimore 2, Md., for both theparty and the game.
