greater lad he spent four years in col
lege foot ball, ought not to hurt the
chances CT the Marines in the least, be-
cause it insures Coach Ready of q man
at the head of his work entirely sympa-
thetic with the sport.
MY team of last year is shot to
pieces" says Ready, land I do not have
the least idea what We shall be able to
do this fall. You know, in some re-
spects it is just as difficult to build an
eleven in the Marine Corps as 1t Is in
college. We get older men as a rule,
but unless these older men have had
begin to teach them from the ground up.
"Some of the men who have come
into the corps this year, men we know
were fine players in college, will not be
available. They have been sent to
school in Philadelphia and they cannot
be used until next season. We nave
some strong college elevens to play, and
may not show so well. Which Is some
thing I suppose We shall have to mako
the best of, as no foot ball team can
hope to be at top notch every year."
AS matter of face, 1t may be good
thing for the Marines If they are not
so very strong this season. They are
playing an all-college schedule, eXceot
II1C1I Sup
colleges, no matter how much they
value the Marines and no matter how
attractive may be games with them, do
not relish taking defeats year after year.
College elevens, as well as others, like
to play with opponents they have a
chance to win from once in a while.
It is possible that the game between
the Marines and Coast Guard this Fall
may be designated as the Presidents
Cup game. The Navy won the game
last season, but has stated 1t will not
take part in the competition this year.
If Navy makes good its intention and
remains out of the play the game with
the Coast Guard probably would be
just about as attractive.
But no matter what game is deSig-
mated as the one for the championship
OF the service, no matter how many
strong teams the Marines meet and iio
matter how unpromising may be their
immediate prospects, it is likely that the
team that beats the Marines will know
it has been through foot ball game.
High morale, an instinct to do or de
a belief in their own capabilities make
the Marines a worthy opponent under
any and all conditions, just as much
when they are In group as well
coached and eficiently managed foot
ball team as in any other way.

LITTLE SEARCHING
FOR BIG FULtBACK

Is Pretty Well Fixed
With Material.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,

~ CEAN CITY, N. j.. September
6.-Any one possessing knowl-
edge Of big Furnishing half
~ back lurking undiscovered
among the student body of
Georgetown University can earn Lou
Titles eternal gratitude by speaking
up now before 1t is too late.
OF the very few things Lou would
like for his foot ball team this Fall
this unknown back is the most i'm
portant. OF course, Lou also would be
Interested in another fast, husky end.
But for the time being the job of ind
ing q hammering 200-pounder to lead
his squadron OF fleet but light ball
toters into action has the Georgetown
coach more hot and bothered than the
blazing sun at this seaside training re-
sort.
with a typically rugged Georgetown
schedule ahead, Little would like, for a
change. q rugged man who could smash
a path for Hudak, Barabis, Maczees,
Scalzi, Bozek, flanagan, all speedsters,
but averaging less than 100 pounds in
heft. But O'Hearn, a youngster, may
be the answer to eoach's prayer, but
even Bud isn't as large as he might be.
Otherwise, the big director Of ath-
letics at the washington university Is
content with the material. Only four
regulars have been graduated from the
eleven that beat New York University
last Fall.
Johnny Tomaini, a type of gridiron
poisoning for the opposition, is gone
from one end, but Ken Provincial, who
galloped 95 yards with tumble to beat
N. Y. u, is back. along with Capt.
Mooney and Lisston, fine pair Of
tackles; Wynkoop, center, and Cordo-
rana, guard.
Duplin and Dwyer back, have grad
uated, but there are many to take
their places and the line reserves. sey-
eral Of them incoming sophomores, are
big and capable.
They're fine boys" Little says. land
they're getting into the kind of condi-
ton that wins foot ball games in No

cally, they're right mentally and there
are no misgivings when the tight spots
come in the Fall"

During their first day the squad spent
several hours helping TO unload trans
port at Ouantico, work that ougnt 70
develop physical condition, but yeSter-
day practice was begun IN earnest. From
now until the first game In october not
much time will be lost. Ready expects
to have the squad in shape for It's nrSt
scrirnmage with the Marylanders week
from tomorrow.
Gen. Butler Is Back.
In speaking of the Marine squad it is
interesting TO note that for the flrst
time since he initiated foot ball on
big scale in the Marine Corps at GUAM
tico, Gen. Butler Is back at 2uantico.
That undoubtedly means that the squad
will get real support, as Gen. Butter
usually goes the limit in carrying out
anything he starts. Probably some OF
the most attractive games ever played
here were the result OF meetings pc
tween the Marines, when Gen. Butler
formerly was in charge at Quantico, and
the old Sd Army Corps. Not only were
the games here brilliant, but, II memory
serves infallibly, it was one OF these
games that filled the Baltimore Stadium
for the first time, the only game Tor
which the stadium has ever been tlled
except one between the Army and Navy.
Gen. Butler, in the beginning, in COM
pany with Gen. Lejeune, probably was
more responsible than any other one
man for the building up Of foot ball
teams such as have represented the
CORPS. And certainly much of real good
has been accomplished through 1t, not
only in stimulating activities of this
kind throughout the entire corps, but
also In maintaining high morale. In
cidentally, the team has served in many
ways to bring to the attention Of the
Young men Of the Nation some of the
attractive sidelights of the corps and
been a means of stimulating interest
among a high type of prospective per-
sonnet.
with Gen. Butler at Quantico and
with Gen. Nivelle, at Marine Corps
Headquarters, committed to carrying out
athletic policies along lines initiated by
Gen. Butler and developed so ably by
Gen. Lejeune, it hardly seems likely that
the Marine Corps eleven will suffer q
good deal. It may be weaker than usual
for this year, but If so, this year Is pretty
sure to be an exception.
Mai. Brewster in Charge.
Mai. Brewster, who last Spring sue
ceeded Mai. Fegan as athletic off1cer at
headquarters here, is none other than
the Dave Brewster who used to play end
at Technical High School and George
Washington University. Fred Nielsen,
who at that time coached George Wash
inRton, said that Brewster was as good
as any university end in the country,
but Brewster, instead of remaining at
George Washington, went in the Marine
CORPS. The fact that Brewster was q
great end, and would have been even

Favorable Attitude Seen.
All three companies are believed to
now look with favor upon extending
their service into Maryland.N orth-of-
Washington.
The Baltimore Consolidated Gas d
Electric Co. has already extended its
lines to Laurel, where the population
Is smaller and the general consump-
ton per square mile Is less than In
the Maryland North OF Washington
communities.
The Hyattsville Gas Co. has already
made studies Of the advisability OF ex.
tending Its feeder lines into the general
Silver Spring section, and 1t Is reported
they are regarding this rapidly grow
ing suburban section Of Washington as
an excellent field for expansion.
The Washington Gas Light Co.. en-
gineers also recently completed'a survey
Of the general Maryland North of
Washington area, and 1t is known that
for the first time they recommended
the advisability of that company ex-
tending its lines and mains In this sec
ton. Previously this company had not
regarded such an extension as prof1ta-
BILE and advisable.
Agreement Believed Likely.
Because of this favorable attitude OF
the three companies local business men
believe that q satisfactory agreement
Is certain to be worked out with one OF
the three companies for gas service in
this section.
The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Dolan to negotiate with the gas
companies consists Of w. z. Smith, Maj.

ORDINANCE PASSED
New Law Requires Permits
for All Buildings in
Arlington.
BY a star Correspondent of The Star.

BY SJan correspondent OF me star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, August 15.-The Board Of
County Supervisors at their meeting
this morning passed a new temporary
coming ordinance requiring permits
from the Office of the county engineer
for all new buildings, whether residen-
tial, commercial or industrial, and for
the repair or addition to. any building
the cost Of which is more than $500.
This ordinance is more drastic than
the previous temporary ordinance which
required special permits only for the
erection of commercial or industrial
buildings, and was passed for the pur-
pose of protecting the county against
undesirable construction until the ION.
ing ordinance is adopted.
AS further evidence Of their intention
to curb the promiscuous erection Of
signboards, the board notified M. e.
Church, realtor, and the Brumback
Realty Co. to remove their signs now
located at the intersection Of Lee High
way and Glebe road.
Applications for the erection of signs
in Jefferson district by the Morton Ad-
vertising Co. and the General outdoor
Advertising Co. were denied.
At the request Of the board the
Rosslyn Gas Co. filed with the county
treasurer a check for $500 to guarantee
the replacement in the condition In
which they were found Of any roads
torn up for the laying Of gas mains.
The contract for the widening and
reconstruction of Wilson boulevard was
awarded to John II. Olcott, who al
ready is working on the project, hav-
ing been advised previously that he
would receive the contract.

BUILDING LAW HELD
ILLEGAL IN FIGHT
Court Rules Mount Rainier
Cannot Delegate Power
to Committee.
Nv . star ccrrespondent Of Tn. Star.

: BY a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md, August Is
Ruling that the building ordinance of
Mount Rainier was illegal in that 1t
attempted to delegate to a building
committee powers vested by law in the
mayor and council, Judge J. Chew
Sheriff in Police Court yesterday grant,
ed a motion to quash the charge of
violating the building ordinance against
William S. Keys, Prince Georges County
delegate in the State Legislature. Bird
4. Dolby, corporation counsel for the
town, noted an appeal from the opinion.
Keys was arrested several weeks ago
by order of the mayor and council after
he was accused of renodeling build
ing at the corner of Tnfrty-fourth
street and Rhode Island avenue
northeast without obtaining permit
from the town. He did, however, obtain
a permit from the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission.
Through his attorneys. Charles B..
Calvert and Arthur c. Keefer, Keys first
obtained change of venue from the
court of Robert z. Joyce. Mount Rainier
justice Of peace. to the county Police
Court. and then assailed the legality Of
the town building regulations in mo-
ton to quash when the case came to
trial before Judge Sheriff. Extensive
briefs were filed by both sides before
the court ruled on the case.
Opinion Of Judge.
In his opinion Judge Sheriff said:
The mayor and council of Mount
Rainier, Is municipal corporation, and
its powers are those which have been
expressly granted by the Legislature of
this State. The Legislature, in 1918
gave the council power to regulate the
erection and repair Of all buildings and
grant permits.
In pursuance Of these acts, the
mayor and council. In 1925, enacted
town buildings regulations, one section
of which provided that any person de.
string. to secure, building permit
ing committee and submit certain
plans. The section further provides
that when application is made to the
building committee for a permit 1t
shall at once examine the plans anC
other papers submitted, and If these
are approved 1t shall issue an order
on the town clerk for the necessary
permit"
Personnel Not Disclosed.
Although the personnel of the COM
mittee is not disclosed by the ordi.
nance, Judge Sheriff'S opinion points
out. the ordinance attempts to vest the
building committee with unusual pow
ers, for it is within its discretion
either to issue or reject applications
for building permits without consulting
with the mayor or council.
When public power or trust Is i'm
posed by law or charter on a governing
body. such power cannot be delegated
to Others" the opinion states. $50 any
ordinance is void which attempts to
delegate a discretion which can be ex-
ercised only by the mayor and council.
THE court holds, therefore, that the
attempt by the mayor and council to
vest the building committee with such
broad powers is beyond their authority
and is, therefore, of no effect"
