Doodle or America, the parrot would

The Mckinley parrot attained a rep
utation as an admirer Of the ladies.
1t was claimed than whenever q group
of women approached his cage he would
cry, oh look at the pretty girls!"
There probably would be couple Of
wild animals cavorting in the White
House grounds now but for the fact that
there was no way of bringing them
there from their native chimes. Mrs.
Hoover was presented with a monkey
and a species of Nicaraguan wildcat
known as an ocelot during her recent
good will travels below the Equator.
Both were the gifts of Marines on the
U. S. S. Maryland.
Mrs Hoover tried valiantly to make
friends with the monkey, but without
success. She even tried feeding him
some French pastry and cookies brought
fresh from her table. The monkey re-
fused to eat them. She had to return
him to his original owner. The ocelot
behaved in much the same manner. He
was about the size Of an overgrown
alley cat and was spotted somewhat
like a leopard Mrs. Hoover endeay-
ored to lead him around the deck by
string. but he was most recalcitrant.
When she picked him up to fondle him
he squirmed vigorously and scratched
her with his sharp claws. The ocelot
also went back to the Marines. Even
then Mrs. Hoover said she would like
to keep the animals, but she explained
there was no way of taking them over
the Andes and back to the United
States.
What Kitty, the Persian cat, would
have done if he had been given q Cen
trail American ocelot for a companion is
something to think about. At least It
would have aggravated the social prece-
dence situation. in which Kitty now

Tut is real Pharaoh among dogs His

paper weight when the wind threat
ened to scatter the various sections over
the room or porch Sometimes. 1t is
said, he took the paper TO Mr.. Hoovers
bedside and awakened him.
Conditions at the White House have
prevented Tut from performing these
services Of late, but he has shown his
affection for his master in other ways.
Mr.. HOOVER is extremely fond of
his old friend. He thought enough
Of him to pose beside him for the pho

human beings. The picture Of Tut and
his master was prominently displayed
during the campaign, and it proved To

Mr.. Hoover ever taken. The picture
undoubtedly played it's part in winning
votes for Tut's owner, for its appeal was
potent. 1t proved TO be an effective bit
Of propaganda against the too-preValent
idea that Mr.. Hoover was a machine in
stead of human being.

It is believed that followers Of
both Gonzaga and Dewitt would
like to see the game played, as ii
has, as the result of its annual
renewal for several years, become
one of the high spots of the
Schoolboy gridiron calendar here,
and lively rivalry has developed
between the schools.
Several months ago it was announced
by Gonzaga authorities that the game
would not be renewed unless Dewitt
agreed to conform to certain eligibility
rules specified by Gonzaga. Later hope
was expressed by representatives OF
both schools that an understanding
could be reached, but so far this hope
apparently has not been realized.
Each Has Won Twice.
Since the elevens started their grid
iron warfare in 1924 each has tri-
umphed twice. Dewitt won In 1924 by
80 to 0. There was no game in 1925.
but in 1926 Gonzaga was the victor,
80 to 0. Then in 1927 Dewitt achieved
a 60 victory and last Fall the Purple
came back to win, Is to 6.
1t is believed that a game this year
would be particularly spirited in view
of the fact that both elevenS are strong.
GonZaga, which was to engage Eastern

only one game, bowling to the unde-
feated Catholic University Freshmen

Gallaudet finishes its foot ball season
today by meeting an old rival, Shepherd

Should the Kendall Greeners win
they will have made their best showing
on the grid In decade, having thus
far split even in six games.
Johnny Ringle, as usual, was ex-
pected to carry the brunt of Gallaudet's
attack. He is well rested for the game.
In the 1928 game the teams were even
at half-ttme, but Ringle cut loose in
the second half and Gallaudet was de-
ciSively. It is understood that Shepherd
is stronger this year.
Gallaudet is the only Washington coll
lege team in action today.
