REAL THREAT

DEAL, n. J., June 25.-Four
strokes back Of Princeton with a
gross score Of 314 and six ahead
of Yale. Georgetown's four-man
golf team has an excellent chance
of winning the national team col
lege golf championship here today.
More than that. che visitors from
the shores of the Potomac may
Qualify five men in the flight OF
52 who will fight it out for the
individual championship. when
match play starts tomorrow.
Led by Maurice Mccarthy. the
defending champion. the George
town youths who are playing A
prominent part in the effort to lift
the team trophy from Princeton
are Dick Wilson, F. Joseph Beger,
Mark Flanagan, John Foley. J..
Nevins Mcbride and Roh Manning.
Mccarthy. although topped by
George Dunlap, of Princeton, in
yesterdays first 1S qualifying holes,
is far from out of the picture for
medalist honors. The fard.hitting
young Irishman shot "A against
Dunlap's II yesterday, finishing
with a pair of 3's, which gave him
g. IS round after going out shakily
in SO. Dun1ap's 70 was even par
for the difficult Hollywood course.
The scores turned In by the
other Georgetown players in the
first 18 were:. Wilson, ~: Beger.
80; Foley and FLANAGAN, S3 each;
Mcbride. "a, and Manning, 30.
All but Manning have been nOmi-
mated for the team. so that the
low four Of the six will c0uHt

The only other Washingtonian In
the tournament besides the George
town contingent was John G. Shorey,
jr.. of George Washington Uni
versity, who came home in SO yes
terday. Estimates made by the Of
ficials are that it will take about 165
to qualify for match play so Shorey
and some of the Georgetown lads
will have to cut their rounds today

that California, weighted down with

And even though Columbia was al

For to the honor Columbia knows

The Ramblers from South Bend, Ind. unbeaten and united, needed victory to clinch their claim 10 a share in any national honor that may be passed out. For the Army the test was to decide whether the 1929 sea son must be marked down on the ledger sheets as total loss. Even a triumph over Stanford in the Army's last game of the campaign at Palo Alto on December 2S. could do little toward checking the disappointment in Army circles over the cadets fail ure 10 win the Notre Dame clash or any other major game so far this season.
 If any other incentive were need cd the boys from West Point wanted to present head coach Riff" Jones with a fitting farewell present in the shape of a win over Rockne's Ram blers. Jones. victim of Army regula- tions, leaves West Point and Army football at the close Of the year.
 The odds were all against the Cadets, however. In crmching through formidable opposition in nine successive games. Notrc Dame has given q demonstration of of tonSlve and defense strength not surpassed by any eleven and cquall- cd by few The Ramblers have beat "n Indiana, Navy, Wisconsin, Carnc- Sie Tech.

CITY DEPARTMENTS

Heads Will File Reports at Con-
 mon Council Meeting

Three departments Of the city government have promised Mayor Paonessa reports on work that may be started next month to give relief to the unemployed, and Chairman Edward F. Hall Of the board Of finance and taxation has pledged hls efforts to that end. The reports. at the mayors request, will be ready for action by the common council Il, a meeting December 1G.
 Mayor Paonessa met Vest orday afternoon with Chairman Hall of the finance board; Chairman George i:. Dobson and City Engineer Philip \. Merriam of the board Of public works; Chairman James j. Watson and Engineer Joseph II. Holden of the water board; Chairman William r. Mangan and Supt. Clyde Ellin5- wood of the park department: Well fare Supt John L. Doyle and Direc- tor Frank Rogers of the employ mcnt bureau
 He made it plain at the outset that speeding up of municipal un- dertaRings which will require extra help is not only desirable, but also q necessity at the present time. An added appropriation to the welfare department is q certainty, the mayor condition in itself.
 S75,000 Sewer Bond Balance
 From City Engineer Merriam, the mayor learned there is q balance of 15,0OO in authorized sewer bonds. Sanitary sewers on Hatch and Am | hcrst streets, and on FoXon place. will require about $20,00G; cleaning , up the outfall of the storm water sewer on the Nibberts tract will take SlJ,g0O, and the Willow Brook flooi relief will account for about $35.- OOO. Maintaining the present forrc | for the remainder of the year will take the entire amount, the engineer ! pointed out.
 Questioned as 10 type of men who make up the group of 2JO seeking 1 jobs from the city, Mir. Rogers said 7j were lnd off in factories and the
 remaining includes former city la borcrs who lost their jobs when street work stopped. and construc~ | tion workers.
 DObSOn ShuduerS at Jail Chairman Hall mentioned the pos i sibilitN of doing some storm water sewer work, but Chairman Dobson i or the board of public works cy- pressed fear that. this would entail an oycrdraft and, he added, statutes prescribe jail sentences for officials

 The club will sing a substantial array Of music selected from classic and modern composers, ranging from Bach and Purcell 10 writers of more recent times. Meticulous care has been expended upon an artistic interpretation of the works. Mr. Steele has been found very cXacting leader.
 Miss Nelson, the assisting artist, has specialized in oratorio and sing tug with organizations such as the choral club, has made many tours throughout the country, and has frequently been heard over the New York radio stations. She has q neat array of press notices. all of which speak highly of her. art. Included among these are notices from the New York Tunes and the Chicago Tribune.
 Mir. Steele is widely known as a conductor of important singing or ganizations. Before graduating to the exalted post of welding a ba- ton he was a widely known tenor, having sung in leading New York churches. His cquaintanceship with noted musicians is widespread. and it was due to such an acquaintance ship that he vas able 10 include the string and woodWind band upon the local program.
 The Max Barr Ensemble is so named from ,he leading instru- mentalist, really the director. Of tn" ensemble. This organization rarely performs outside of convenient en- ragements in New York, as it's members are subjected 10 almost daily rehearsals with the philhar- monic orchestra. The proximity Of New Britain to the metropolis makes 1t possible for them to come here for an afternoon and evening in the early part of tho week.
 It is fran ly conceded that the Junior high school auditorium IS not large enough for such a stellar musical event. but at the present time no other centrally located au- ditorium was available. The the aters are not procurable. It is planned 10 give the second concert Of the club in the auditorium of the enlarged Senior high school. This will take place in the early spring or latter part Of the winter.

Tax Reduction Expected to Be
 Speeded All Along Line

Washington, Nov. % (Up) In a happier mood than at the end Of the special session week ago, congress is reasscmbling today for the open ing of the long session Monday.
 Tax reduction is to be the first and biggest order of business. The leaders of both the house and the senate have become so optimistic during the brief recess they predict law will be enacted within two weeks making the taxpayers q Christmas gift Of $1G0,0O0, ,000.
 speedy Passage Urged
 The reductions of one per cent all along the line will be made effect i've upon payments for March, but speedy enactment of the legislation is planned in order that business houses may be assured of it in plan ming their budget for next year.
 A resolution Of 50 words or less is now being framed by the legis- latiyc drafting service for Chairman Hawlcy of tho house ways and means committee. He will introduce it as soon as the house is called to order at noon Monday if it is ready by that time.
 His committee will meet Wcdnes- day 10 hear Secretary of Treasury Mellon as a matter of form. Mellon is to tell the committee the state of the nations finances, h" believes, warrant the reduction he has rccom- mCndcd.

 Such speed is not unusual in the house but the prospects for similar speed in the senate is extremely un- usual There is some opposition to the measure in the senate but il is scattered, unorganized and by no means formidable
 Some of the midWestcrn indepon- dents feel the measure is "a Wall street tax reduction," although its proposed one per cent slash would affect all taxpayers alike. They arc dissatisfied with it. but they realize it is exceedingly difficult to fight q tax reduction.
 Assurances that the coalition re- publican group would not contest it was offered by the coalition leader, Senator Borah of Idaho. "I am in favor Of all tax r"duCtions,' . he said. The senate democratic ! leaders have already expressed their approval.
