COLONIALS USE
REGULARS

The George Washington Colonials,
who fear" the American University
gridders in Saturdays game sched-
uled in Central High School Stadium
at 2:30 O'Clock, are starting every
regular against the MethodistS.
Coach Maud Crum, of the down
towners. will have his full compile
ment with the exception of Capt.
CbaIkey Lopeman, who will PROP
ably rest until the Thanksgiving Day
game with Catholic University.
Jimmy Carey, who, though in
jured, played for a time against
Penn State last Saturday, will start
at center against the Massachusetts
Avenue boys. Emory Babe" Clap
per. another crippled Colonial. Will
be at his halfback post when the
opening whistle sounds.
Coach Crum has decided To
rely upon Charming Davis, from
last years freshmen, for one Of
the guard stations. lie COM
ported well against Penn State
last Saturday, and merited his
new appointment The veteran
mike" Goldman will be Ia the
other guard hole.
Assistant Coach Nate Wcinstock
will take the linemcn this afternoon
and give them a series of drills that
figured to give them a finish that
has been lacking this year Coach
Crum viii seek better results from
the backfield, which has also been
more of a drawback.
The Colonials are really pointing
for the tilt with Catholic University
on Turkey Day. The George Wash
ington eleven has not triumphed in
the annual classic since 1924, when
G. u. lost by 14s0 score.

a member OF q little team like
Maryland, but when the reckoners
start counting up qualifications for
All-America teams, and IL Satur-
days performance was q regular
sample, Madigan deserves some
kind of recognition. To say some
thing nice about him, he played
like Dud Charlesworth played for
Yale last season--and that's saying
a lot
It might be mentioned that
CharleswOrth was AlI-Amerfca
center last year.
Two other Eastern High boys also
are slated to start along with Madi-
gan against the Cavaliers on Satur-
day. They are Bill Heintz, a fine
guard. and Julie Radice. husky
halfback.
Georgetown makes It's last home
appearance, and most likely the
last time District fans will see a
I.ittle-coached Hilltop eleven or the
sod at the Clark Griffith Stadium,
when the West Virginia Mountain
eers hook up with the Blue and

A victory over West Virginia Is
cherished by the Hilltoppers as 1t
would place them back on & firm
footing and atone somewhat for the
loss to Carnegie. The M0untaineers
however. have gathered seven
straight imposing victories over
powerful eleyens and their only re-
verse was received from Davis
ElkinS In the first game OF the
season when the Rodgers eleven
was unprepared. West Virginia
would probably maui Davis Elkins
at this time.
Head Coach Lou Little may elect
to start Johnny Bozek over Bob
Dwyer as the Flexible Flyer was
the only Hilltop ball-lugger who
could gain ground consistently
against Carnegie. That was un.
usual considering the weak HILTON
running attack this year. Even
a gainst minor teams, the HILLTOP
game hasn't looked any TOO
strong.

the series Monday night, will spend
at least the next 10 days in Gal

as to his sanity. He was removed
to- Gallinger last night after having
been held without bail for action

by Police Judge Robert e. Mat

Meanwhile Headquarters Detective
Frank Varney, who with Policeman
Horace Lineburg, OF the Thirteenth
precinct, received Fishers confession
within 80 hours after the first fire
was started, is continuing his In

to determine how many other fires
of recent date may be placed at the

mobiles were destroyed,

that the night of the Owens fire
he reached the scene before the

there. The two men helped extin'

thing of. the old warmth, the old
eare-f free quality, missing from
her smile, only Mother and Dad
noticed and understood, for Diana
lived up to her intention OF being
proud. So stubbornly. indeed, did
she hold to this as to insist upon
attending the wedding on the last
day of August, though even Ben
advised against 1t.
"Why do you give that little

Say the word, and not one OF us

Diana laughed, visioning Ham

spectacular loyalty. I'm not
thinking Of her at all, Bea. l
don't want Be anyone to think
I care. Besides, I couldn't do
that to him; he's got troubles
enough ahead"
So it happened that Diana was
among the guests. striking lit
tie figure in a misty mauve frock
with a wide hat shading her pale
cheeks, bringing out the blue-sray
of her eyes-those truthful eyes
whose gaze Benny Black was to
remember as long as he lived.
Perhaps he was thinking or Dl-
ana's eyes, Of the merry red ups
raised to his, as he stood oefore
the altar and heard the WORDS
which made the dazzling little
creature at his side his vile. Like
a moonbeam wrapped In ends OF
cloud she looked, with her bright
hair shining through the long all
too laborate veil, her tiny tlgure
respondent in ivory satin, smile
of victory curving her lips:
Something not quite real ABOUT
her, not quite suggestive of the
home-maker. the potential mother
as she stood there t1midly, yet
with perfect poise, fixing a wide,
innocent gaze upon the clergy
man.
Benny may have sensed this
unrealness. contrasted 1t In a
swift flash of misgiVing with DE-
ana's wholesome charm. For he
did not look quite the happy
bridegroom as he turned away
with his wife on his arm for the
slow walk down the aisle, while
the wedding march tumbled glee-
fully from the organ loft.
He had taken only a few steps
when he raised his head, his at
tention drawn as by an irresistible
force, and his eyes met Dana's.
A look between them, one void of
any expression at all: contact of
souls laid bare for a startled in
slant.
Her face was frozen as on the
night at the camp, and he colored
