While the collegiate foot
ball gossiping is good, we would
like to add one bit Of scandal
to the rumors and reports that
are going around as to who viii
coach where next season.
1t comes to us from a pretty
hot spot that Catholic Uni
Yersity win be looking for q
football coach and athletic
director before another year is
out. Jack McAuliffe is enter
tanning q tempting offer which
he is expected to accept, pos
sibly before another gridiron
season starts. While McAuliffe
is understood to have another
year to serve at Brookland
under his contract, that little
difficulty can be abridged as it
was In the case Of Lou Little.
Should G. U. get q new deal
in the matter Of coaches, the
whole football front hereahoutS
win have changed conSid erably
within the short space of two
years. Walter Young succeeded
George Baltic SpringSton at
American University, Jim PixIee
succeeded Maud Crum at
George washington, a successor
to Lou Little will be appointed
by Georgetown shortly, and the
change at Catholic University
is a great deal more than a
remote possibility.
And here's another bit Of dirt
to be taken seriously or other
wise, just as you please. Jerry
Egan, Of the Georgetown class
Of 'O2, Is q candidate for the
Job Of graduate manager Of
athletics at the Hilltop. But
Eddie Brooks, athletic director

HALL NPROVES
As GOLF PRO
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
A golf pro whose game has
leaped forward at an amazing
pace is Walter r. Hall, Of the
Annapolis Roads Club, so main.
tains Arthur B. Thorn, pro at
Woodmont Club and president
of the Middle Atlantic Pro
fessional Golfers Association.
His play at PinehurSt sur
priSed me" stated Thorn as he
touched on Halls improvement.
II hadn't seen Hall play since
the sectional p. G. A. qualifying
rounds at Indian Spring in the
fall Of 1928, and I was struck
| by the wonderful progress he
had made in his game.
with the exception of Gene
Larkin, ! viii say that Hall is
the best prospect among the
younger pros around here. He
was hitting his irons and woods
firm and straight at Plnehurst
and I don't mind saying that
Walter is forging ahead with
great speed. He has a sound
game now and ! look for him to
cause some noise in the pro
circles before long,"
That's high praise coming
from one of his own prOfeS-
sion. Yet, Thorn has never
been one who has refrained
from passing his true esti-
mate Of fellow pro. That's
one great principle that
makes Thorn SO well esteemed
by others.
Hall had great opportunity
to improve his game down at An
napoltS Roads this past spring
and summer and he fully CAPT
talized on it. He spent many
long hours practicing on various
shots and Stunned distance for
the safer style Of accuracy. He
tried daily to pick out q spot
where he wanted his shots to
land and kept hammering away
until he approached some eff
cheney in this point.
II hit a long ball, but most of
my drives are down the middle, %
declared Hall himself. Some
golfers think one must hit a
powerful drive to keep down
around par, but give me accuracy
over distance any day in the year.
Il certainly praSticed hard and
long down at Annapolis Roads
and my game has improved 100
per cent. Those sand green's at
Pinehurst brought a crash In my
putting, but I think / can steady
this as well as my play off the
greens"

Iowa University's intention Of

banned % athletes from further

action was announced following

afternoon until midnight and
came as q complete surprise here.
Resignation was expected instead.

II would not be surprising 70

lima. and q Rockne product is the

Collins has been in washington
the last two days. and it is known
he has been In conference with

tiOn, and that he Is being

LittIe's probable successor.
The Washington times., 1929-12-12

Regardless of who takes over
the position, that coach is going
to have a difficult time Of it next
fall. TO begin with, there Is
mighty scant hold-over veteran
material and there are very few
promising players on this years
freshman squad.
Collins is aware Of this Situa-
ton, which, while decidedly un-
encouraging, is certainly no worse
than the one he confronted when
he took charge of the North
Carolina destinies four years ago.
AT that time the TarheelS were
walloWing at the bottom Of the
heap In Southern Conference
circles. Since the advent Of Col
Inns, however, the Tarheels have
advanced to the front by leaps
and bounds, completing their
most successful season this year
by going through a 1O-game
schedule with the loss Of only one
game.
Georgia was the only team
that defeated North Carolina this
fan, Snatching two tuochdowns in
the last six minutes Of play 70
exc out q 19-to-12 victory. This
loss followed q week after the
Tarheels had downed Georgia
Tech, their most respected foe
for which they had pointed, and
there was q letdown in their play,

that he has conferred with Collins

What is most outstanding
about North Cardinals record
this fail is the fact that they
maintained an average Of S4.6
points scored in each game. They
finished second only to Southern
California in team scoring for
the year Notwithstanding the
fact that the greatest number of
points they rolled up against any
one opponent was IS. which they
registered against both Wake For
est and Duke.
II Collins were to accept the
local offer he would bring with
him one Of his two assistants at

Home Hunters In
Berlin Aided BY
City's Treasury

BERLIN. May 1s.- Up With
about 10000 people house hunting
in Berlin. a three-year program to
provide $4,000 new homes annually
has been drawn up by the munich
pality.
Funds for $4,000 houses viii be
provided by the income from the
tax on house rentals. and the cost
Of the remaining 5000 will be COW
cred by municipal loans.
The capital city is paving the
penalty of overcrowding for its
growing ecoonmic Importance as
the center for German industry and
business. Homeless apartment seek
ers must be ticketed, registered and
investigated by government bu-
raus before they can achieve pri-
vate living quarters. Even then.
there is usually a premium to be
paid, and one room with possibly
the use of the kitchen, must be
reserved for the apartment owner.
Apartments allotted by the bu-
rear under this ssytem have risen
rapidly from 1857 in 1924 to 26,-
069 in 1927 and 81. 194 in 1928.
Building. however. has fallen far
short of keeping up with the de-
mand, chiefly because capital has
been attracted to more profitable
lines. The 1923 construction, in
stead Of showing an increase over
1877, provided 200 fewer homes.
with the result that the municipal
ity has been forced to aid the pri-
vate builder.

BY the third week in April more
than $4,000 OF the new models had
been built already this year, with
every indication pointing 10 a
greater gain In 1929 over 1928 than
In any previous twelve-month per-
iod.
With the plant now operating nc
its peak of efficiency, further de-
mands upon the production depart
ment may render necessary addi-
tons to the plant, IL was pointed
out. The Pontiac car. during its
first year. was built in the old Oak
land factory. but the immediate
popularity with which it was met
rendered expanding facilities i'm
perative.
Land Purchased
A large tract of land was pur-
chased on the outskirts or the city,
and construction crews worked day
and night 20 erect and equip the
new Pontiac factory. AS a result,
1927 saw the huge plant thrown
into production. It represented the
largest single industrial contract
awarded the previous year In the
United States. and was the largest
automotive project eyer completed
at one time.
All major operations In building
both the Oakland and Pontiac lines
have subsequently been moved To
other new buildings with more than
100 acres OF roof area.
The Pontiac unit first began pro-
duction on two assembly lines.
with provision for a third. SO rap
idly did sales increase that this re-
serve assembly line also had 10 be
put into operation early In 1923.
Each line Is 100 feet In length,
and carries the car through pro-
gressive steps from the bare frame
to the finished product ready for
the shipping docks.

that II was impossible TO transport

There was only one solution-the

PONTIAC PLANT
HEAVILY TAXED
Huge Demand Causes Over
Half Million Skies to be
Built in 40 Months

PONTIAC. Mich. May IA vi
vid picture Of how the automobile
industry Is forging ahead beyond
even the optimistic plans Of those
on the inside" Is aptly illustrated
here at the modern plant operated
by the Oakland Motor Car company
for the production Of the new Pom
tiac big six.
When planned less than three
years ago. the new structure was
laid out on a production scale that
was regarded as ample for years to
come. yet during the past few
months every operating division has
been running at peak capacity. Day
and night and Saturday afternoon
shifts are still somewhat short OF
turning out cars 10 meet the imme-
date demand.
Fortunately. the plant stands on
a huge plot of undeveloped land
which may be utilized as increasing
sales volume renders imperative a
further branching out Of production
facilities.
With new cars Of the Pontiac big
six rolling Off three assembly lines
at the rate of 1000 or more a day,
Oakland officials announced the
building Of the 500. OO0th Pontiac
six during the latter part OF April.
One More Record
This established still one more
record for the Pontiac line. which.
since Its introduction at the auto
mobile shows OF 1926, has consist
emily shattered all records ever set
by a new make OF car.
The half -millionth Pontiac was
built less than forty months after
