NOTES OF THE GAME
ON THE HILLTOP

For the first time this season George
towns cheering section was out in full
force. and under the leadership OF Jack
Lange. president of the athletic asso-
citation. and Jimmy Walsh. manager Of
last years football team. with the rem
dition Of the Blue and Gray's old stand
bys.
Lengthy Niles. right half back for the
Lexington boys. time and again demon
strated his ability as a starter for for
ward passes. frequently tossing the ball
across the entire field. But for the fun-
bling OF those who received the passes
Washington and Lee would have scored.
During the entire first period the ball
was In Georgetown's territory. once be-
ing within three yards Of the Hilltoppers
goal line, where they met a stonewall de-
fense.
Tie first thrill OF the afternoon came
when Murray. playing half back for
Georgetown. intercepted a swiftly started
forward pass and advanced fifteen yards
before being downed.
One Of the prettiest plays Of the game
was a double pass from Dunn to Cos
teIlo on which Mine Point Harry ran
through the entire field for twenty-five
Yards.
The Injunction of White Fury in
the third quarter was too much for the
Lexington boys. whose line and ends had
not been asbestosized to withstand these
human dynamo, who carried the ball the
entire length OF the field on successive
line plunges and end runs, White going
over for the Touchdown.
Among the local football notables in
the grand stand were Coach Green. OF

Tech: .'korty'' Church. of Western:
Hip Dugan. Of Gonzaga; Wayne Hart,
of last years Georgetown eleven: Ben

Of commission by Luther McCarty in the
second round OF their bout at the Eighth

kaufman was sent to the floor. While he
was gathering himself up after the fourth
down, and while the timekeeper was still
tolling on the seconds. Referee Jim Grif-
I'm grabbed McCarty's gloved right fist
and held II on high.
1t was case OF doing the right thing
at the right time. for a few more
smashes OF the kind indicted by McCarty
might have produced serious results.
While the contest was very short, sharp
and decisive. II will require other engage
ments to determine whether McCarty is
really a fighter Of promise. The one
thing made plain by to-day's display is
that Kaufman has lost all that he ever
possessed In the way OF boxing qualin-
cations.

Cairo bakers worked 20 hours a

that 1t shows no increase in heighth.
Work was not resumed by the
Tenth street pump. Mr.. Magner
says he will try to arrange today to
put this pump to work. During the
excitement few days ago, when
the concrete covering over the
trough on Ohio street was broken by
the pressure when the pump was
started, nearly car load of sacks
were thrown down into the outlet
sewer. 1t may be necessary to get
many of these sandbags out of the
way before the pump can be run

200 RATIONS GIVEN
OUT TO SUFFERERS
FROM Bic WAThI.S.

The state commissary for the bene.
fit of the food sufferers located in
the banquet room at the Commercial
club gave out four days rations
yesterday for about 200 families,
nearly all of whom were negroes, all
from the drainage district. Only
four white families applied for ra-
tions.
Adjutant Genl. Dickson Is here

mittee looked after the service. All
applicants were rigidly examined as
to their right to be served. This
was done in SO thorough a manner
that there was little room to doubt
that those provided with rations
we're deserving.
One negro applied for rations for
his family although it was known
he had a bank account of 5000. He
was promptly turned down. An old
negro woman who applied when
asked what she did for living
promptly answered "go gov'ment
keep me. | gets a pension" She
had heard of the excellent hams,
bacon, coffee, etc, that were being
handed out and wanted some be-
cause it was choice.
All the stock of provisions sent
here by the state is of the very best
quality. The workers at the Com
mercial club who were looking after
the distribution of the goods, were
treated to a sandwich made from the
bread sent here and the ham, They
all said they never tasted better,
The. bread sent also being of the
best quality and perfectly baked.
