HOUSING INQUIRY
SOONcOMPLETED
Final Reports to Commission
ers' Committee Expected
Next Saturday.

The several subcommittee of the
Commissioners housing committee ex-
pect to complete their investigations
during the forthcoming week and sub
NIT final reports TO Mrs. Ell Helmick.
chairman. next Saturday.
This was stated today. following
meeting of the committee in the
boardroom of the District building
yesterday afternoon. AS soon as the
, subcommittee reports are in the COM
mittee will set itself to the task of
preparing its general report to the
Commissioners.
The report to the Commissioners
will contain suggestions for stimulat-
ing the building of homes in Wash
ington.
Developments at Meeting.
The committee meeting yesterday
developed the fact that the finance
subcommittee is not in accord as to
the financial situation in Washington
with regard to home building.
Thomas Bones chairman. submitted
majority report, stating that All
/, available labor and material in the
city are being used and that most OF
is being furnished by local institu-
tons.
1--WE are. therefore, forced to con-
clude," reads the report, that the
financial support Of the local housing
situation is keeping its place very
we'll in the work going on. upon
further investigation We find that the
rate of interest and commissions
charged on building loans in the Dis
trfct are as low, and, in many cases,
lower than are charged on similar OPP
erations in other cities.
Minority Report Submitted.
William Deane Ham submitted a
minority report on finance. in which
he said, in part:
I'VE have unreasonable evidence
to prove that large number of finan-
cling companies and still larger
number of individuals are reaping IN
considerable profit through the dis
counting of second mortgages. In
tions they openly boast that they
make from 80 to 60 per cent per an
mum on capital, and that the profit l.
rs per cent on the investment Of eacn
second mortgage. which, including
the interest. gives an annual interes
Of 33% per cent.
when banks will not loan more %
per cent on first mortgages. even whsn
the first payment is 20 per cent OF TIE
selling price, and they positively refuse
to loan on second mortgages. there =
an implied admission that the second
mortgage has practically no value. and,
therefore. the home buyer is actua iil !
paying from 90 to 40 per cent aboTe
the value of the property"
Complete Details Ordered.
After a discussion Of the two report
the finance committee WAS instructeL
to make its final report next week more
in detail.
Fearing that the extension of rail-
road trackage in the District at this
time might tend to reduce available
housing accommodations. the commit
tee went on record against the bill now
pending in Congress which would au-
thorize the Commissioners to grant per-
mission for such extensions.

Many foot ball enthusiasts have
wondered greatly at the showing of
Vanderbilt against Michigan. in view
of the way Yost's men outplayed Ohio
State. The truth is that the strong
and sound line defense developed by
McGug;n. with the secondary defense
fairly close to il. prevented Michigans
strong backfield. and Kipke in par
ticular, from getting away. McCul-
Tough, who can play either end or
tackle, was McGugin's strong man
on defense, while Reese was remark
ably clever at running back kicks
Pacific coast teams are throwing the
forward pass freely. and although
some are'being intercepted and others
fail to find their man. il is this kind
of work which best develops this i'm
portant feature. If more of the east
ern teams would do likewise they
would learn more of the possibilities
of aerial attack and, equally impor-
tant development of defense to meet
it Middle-weStern teams are supe-
rior In both these departments over
some eastern elevens
The question Of mIddle-Sest honors
is complicated on account of confer
ence team schedules. For example. if
Chicago. Michigan or Wisconsin had
chance to meet Iowa they might he
compared with Yale But Iowa does
not meet any of the three Chicago
and Michigan do not meet, SO Michi-
gan has chance of comparison with
Princeton.

Penn State has lost some valuable men
who did much to make the 1921 outfit
great. but Hugo Bezdek's ability as
developer may have counteracted these
losses. At all events. the Penn State
team will be an example of as enlight-
ed system of advancing the ball as
exists in the east. Bezdek 'habitually
pays less attention to defense than most
coaches. Possibly Syracuse will point
out for him the error of his ways.
Whatever happens in the Penn State
game. the Salt City athletes will find no
occasion for letting down the following
week, for on November the Nebraska
eleven appears at the Archbold Stadium.
In the writer's recent trip through the
middle west the name Of Nebraska was
most frequently mentioned as a really
formidable machine. In gigantic stature
no gridiron outfit ever approached 1t.
And size. it is claimed, is not It's only
asset. They have such men. for instance,
as Noble. a back-weight, 201-who
finished third out of large field in the
seventy -five-yard dash at the Illinois
track meet last summer. And there are
other men equally terrifying in their
various specialties.
Princeton men will be interested
in knowing that Fred Dawson. the old
Tiger backstop and back on the 1908
eleven. is spending his second year as
coach Of the Nebraska team, and that

pected to romp over the Business

he could do little against the Busi-
