Chicago May Drop Out Os Conference Chicago, Feb. 26— (UP)—Th withdrawal of the University of . clihago from Big T<-n competition in basketball will be discussed when conference athletic directors nu et here March 8-9, it w;ts learned today. Chicago returned to Big Ten cage play this season, after a oneyear layoff, and aifain was hopelessly outclassed. The Maroons last all 12 leagii games and now have a string of 60 consecutive conference losses dating back to Hie 1940 campaign. While there Is grumbling In student ranks at the Univ .ratty over the inability of the Maroon players "to stand a chance" in Big Ten competition, the greatest pressure for the withdrawal of Chicago likt ly will come from other j league members. The presence of the Maroons, it Is contended, throws the entire championship rac * out of balance and does not make for an equitable settlement of the cage title. The six teams fortunate enough to draw Chicago for a honv -and home verier, automatically arc git a ranteed two victories, while the three league members not n tling shots at the Maroons face far tougher drives toward a Big Ten title. it Ls significant that of the top seven teams in this current Big Ten standing that Northwestern alone did not have the "cushion" provided by the "automatics" over Chicago. Nelson Metcalf, athit tic director at the University of Chicago, admitted the Maroons' problem would be placed before the confereacis heads. "The problem of our place in the conference picture will tie discussed with the Big Ten dt i ctors at the March meeting." Metcalf explained. "I do not care to discuss the situation beyond that ■ point.” The sports program at Chicago is operati <1 by the athletic department under the supervision of the central administrative group of the universky. There Is not an athletic obard of control such as is in charge at otht r schools. a Fall Against Saw Is Fatal To Youth Winchester, Ind.. Fab. M—(UP) ■ —Albert Emery, 19.

At a press conference preceding his addn-Mi, Frey, who led in the development of th'* bomb, said that other naliotM would be producing the liomb within 10 years “without uny lielp fn tn u*.'' “There is no defense against the atomic bomb and there never will be any defense.'' he said in his I address. He cited the fact that not; a single V 2 rocket bomb was intercepted in World War 11. Such bom Im travel at speeds greater than sound, he said, and cannot be detected by radar. Shapley said that on a recent I visit to Russia he found ItuiMian scientists “friendly, willing to discuss their problems frankly.” “Tiie llu-olans have the ability to find out anything they don’t already know," he said. He said that policymakers of the great nations must realize that "the planet is too small for competing nationalities." ——-——o—*" Coast Guard Lowers Points For Release Headquarters Lists Point Requirements Washington, Feb. 26 —(l’p> Coast Guard headquarters has announced a lowering of points required for discharge.
