{ EXHIBIT HOME
PLANS NOW
COMPLETE

The first model home exhibit for
1929 will be sponsored by The Times
and Herald in conjunction with l..
j.. Breuninger e Sons, builders and
developers of Shepherd Park, which
is located north of the city just off
Sixteenth Street, bounded by Four
teenth Street, Kalmia Street and
Alaska Avenue.
The new model home. which will
be opened TO the public in one week,
is situated in the heart of this fast
growing development where over 80
homes have been built and sold and
when all construction Is completed,
Shepherd Park will contain over zoo
homes.
Open In One Week
In making a selection. The Times
and Herald decided upon a home
ideally situated on a large lot. re-
quirfng a community where proper
restrictions would safeguard its en-
vironment, This was found in
Shepherd Park. which is restricted
by covenants demanding high class
detached homes which has shown
marked response by home pur.
chasers, emphasized by the fact
that not one home has remained on
the market in this section over two
weeks after completion.
Shepherd Park is on a high ele-
walton 450 feet above the city pro-
per. presenting a commanding view
over Rock Creek Park valley. The
community has been carefully plan
ned with broad avenues preserving
natural beauty with large lots for
every home, modern in every re-
spect, containing all modern civic
improvements.
Governors Estate
Shepherd Park was at one time
a part of the estate of Alexander
r. Shepherd. the last governor Of
the District of Columbia, for whom
this ideal home community has been
named. Governor Shepherds ideals
were dedicated to the development
and Identification OF the Nations
Capital which resulted in the more
beautiful Washington that is en-
joyed today.
L. l.. Breuninger & Sons. estab-
lished builders in the District for
81 years, have fulfilled the traditions
established by the noted governor
and Shepherd Park bears evidence

Academy Chiefs
to Talk ReUiOoL
of Service Tits

0 NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Prospects
of a renewal of the annual Army
Navy football classics hinge upon a
meeting to be held in Washington
between Major-General William r.
Smith, superintendent at West
Point. and Rear Admiral S. S. Rob-
inson of the Naval academy.
There is a chance that the teams
will meet Dec. 6, at Soldiers Field
in Chicago. This chance, however,
is remote because examinations at
the military academy begin on Dec.
2, and continue through Dec. 10.
After that, the Cadets will leave for
the west coast for the Stanford
game on Dec. %.
Army and Navy fell out in an
an athletic way in 1927. Navy
wanted Army to observe an eligi-
bility rule in effect at the naval
academy. This rule provided that
an athlete could play but three
years of varsity football, and if he
had played one year in college be-
fore entering the academy he
could play but two years for Navy.
