BOY To PLAY
BY George A. Simpson

Not all eyes viii be focused on
Harry ('.Light Horse'1 Wilson when.
the Army lacrosse twelve takes the
field Saturday afternoon in the
Central High Stadium to oppose
Johns Hopkins in one Of the second
round Olympic elimination matches.
Considerable interest will be at
tached to Dick O'Keefe, who was
schooled at Dewitt Prep here before
going to West Point to prepare for
military life. O'Keefe is q regular
on the Cadet twelve.
He was also a substitute on Biff
Jones Army eleven that handed
Notre Dame its lone defeat of last
year and also triumphed over Navy
in the annual game.
O'Keefe also won the plebe
wrestling and boxing champion
ships. but has not taken part
in either sport since his first
year ~ West Point.
As Saturday win mark the first
appearance of an Army team in the
Nations Capital, the occasion OF
the initial visit Is expected to be
lmomentous, especially since their
dear foes from down by the Sew
ern" are also playing that after
noon. Navy has not shown here
since 1923 when Maryland upset the
Middles, 5-3, in a lacrosse match
on the same soil they are to clash
again.
Oddly, the four teams have met
each other in previous games this
season. with the exception of Army
and Maryland. The Cadets were
the first to inflict defeat on Hop
kins, winning by a 5-3 score in a
game played in Baltimore. The
Terrapins downed Navy, 3-2, in a.
contest at College Park, Md, plac-
ing the first dent on Nays shield.
Navy scored over Hopkins.
5-3, but the Blue Jays sOiled
Maryland,s record. winning by
81 count. Army and Navy
fought to a "A deadlock.
The Army stickmen, headed by
Harry Wilson, are due to arrive
here Thursday. They will probably
have a workout Friday afternoon
at the Central field. Wilson was pre-
scented with two swords at the
athletic review last Thursday at
West Point. He received the Edger-
ton saber, given annually to the
football captain, and the Army Attn
letic Association saber for all-round
excellence. He is the first Army
athlete to ever receive these awards.
The first clash Saturday viii In
volve Maryland and Navy and is
due to begin at 2 o'clock. The Army
Hopkins event is scheduled for 4
o'clock.

Many Functions Are to Be Given Before Cool

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-White House functions are being moved ahead at least a month so Presi- dent and Mrs Coolidge may com piete their social obligations to offlcialdom before leaving the Executive Mansion March 1.
 This will bring many official hostesses immediately back to Washington after the election. The Cabinet dinner will be at the White House November s. two days after the elections and by a curious coincident even if Herbert c. Hoover is elected President he will not be able to attend the last official gathering of this nature. as he will be in California to cast his vote.
 The following Thursdays in Mo- vember will be devoted to diplo- matic functions.
 The reception in honor of Chief Justice and Mrs. William Howard Taft and members of the judiciary will be given December 6, and Thursday, December 13, the Su- preme Court dinner will be served.

 Representatives of the company are now in Seattle negotiating with cannery concerns and it is understood enough have already signed to insure considerable ton mage.

Youth must be served and when it combines with Halloween its service is apt to be swift and to take on many forms. Even the grownups have come to realize that fact and to accept it with tolerant resignation if not with enthusias- tic acquiescence.
 Chief of Police George A. Getch- ell, who is responsible for that as- sertion-it's true he didn't phrase 1t exactly in that fashion-wants it understood, however, that Hal lowe'en observance is to be con- fined to one night only. and that night is October 31.
 On that nlgnt witches ride through the circumambient atmos- phere on brooms, spirits foregath- CT and hobgoblins work their topsy turvey will. If there isn't more than one night of broomrid- ing, and spirit conclaying, and if topsyturveydom doesn't inyolYe1 wanton property damage, the Chief isn't going to be too interested in the identity of the witches, hob- goblins and spirits. But if it goes beyond one night, or if there is any material injury to property, there's certain to be a convention of spooks and their intimates be- fore Judge H. R.
