w WESTERN HIGH SCHOOLS
a ! basket ball team may be
wv without the services the
coming season OF Capt.
Jimmy Thompson, clever
forward, who recently suffered broken
elbow while playing foot ball. 1t may
be that Thompson will be able to take
the floor by January /, but this is by
no means certain. Loss OF Thompson
doubtless would prove body blow to
the pennant aspirations of the George
town scholasticS who finished second In
the title series last Winter.
Preliminary practice for the western
aspirants is now being held couple
of times a week and serious preparation
will begin about November /.
Clifton r. Moore, who coached the
Red and White courtmen for the flrSt
time last season, and who will again
be on the job, is faced with the neces-
Sity of finding requirements for four
stalwartS of the quint of a campaign
ago, Herbie Thompson, all-high guard;
Mike Hunt, guard: George Baer, for
ward, and John Woods, specialized for
ward, who was captain.
Among the veterans in school besides
Jimmy Thompson are Bob Freeman,
who was an all-high center selection;
Dos Hatfield, guard, and Anthony La
tona, who can play either guard or
forward but who was ineligible last
season, and Eaton. forward, who saw
some action last Winter.
An attractive schedule is being ar
ranged for the Western team by Man.
ager Leonard Nicholson and negotia-
lions are on for several attractive out
of-town games. A contest has been
listed with Tome Institute at Port De-
post and a trip to Orange, Va, to en-
gage Woodbury. Forest and other
jaunts are in prospect.
According to plans the Red and
White will open its season around
December with a group of preliminary
games and later that month will en-
gage Swavely, Alexandria High and
other Quints. It is Coach Moore's plan
to have the team meet increasingly
stronger combinations SO that 1t will
be on edge for the title series starting
in January. Games with such teams
at the George Washington Freshmen
and st. Johns College Junior Varsity
of Annapolis are planned just before
the start of the title series.

After being outruShed in the
first half, the Maroon and Gray
came back in the second half to
outright the Blue and White, par
ticularly in the late stages, and
win. B1th touchdownS were made
by Willis Benner, clever end.
Tech scored the winning touchdown
in the last minute of play. when Ben
ner shared pass from Aubrey Spencer
quarterback. and after falling and
escaping being downed only by adroit
maneuv ering regained his feet in a
fash and twisted his way 10 yards to
cross the Central goal line.
Ties Score With 3O-Yard Run.
In the early part of the period
Benner also had counted touchdown
when lie caught a ball which had
bounded from the arms OF Larry
Pinckney. big Central fullback, and
streaked 80 yards down the left side
Of the field to goal.
Sabatiki Central left halfback, orig
inally had the ball, but it was knocked
from his grasp into Pinckney's, only to
be caught by Benner when the Central
fullback was unable to hold 1t. Benner'S
place kick for goal failed after that
touchdown, as it did after the second,
and until the Mckinley second touch
down it appeared that this Night mean
the difference between a tie and
Tech victory.
It was in the second period that
Central scored its touchdown. Pinckney
took the ball over from the 22-yard
line with four successive line bucks.
However. his attempt to score the extra
point also by rushing failed.
All Central at Start.
During the early part of the game it
was hard to see anything but Cen
trail victory. Pinckney particularly
proved virtually unStoppable, gaining
substantially almost every time he took
the ball, and McKinley'S attack APP
peared helpless before the big Central
line.
Capt. George Brandt, who played a
fine game at end for Central, also
punted well, generally -distancing
little Dick Nelson, Tech halfback. Mel
son got off some good kicks, but also
some that were decidedly not good.

ECKERSALL RETURNS
TO SCENE OF '23 RIOT

BY the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, october 26.-For
the first time since he was almost
mobbed by Infatuated Badger fans in
1923, Walter Eckersall OF Chicago was
back in Madison today to referee O
Wisconsin foot ball game.
EckerSall, former University Of Chi
cago gridiron star, refereed the Mich
igan- Wisconsin game in 1928 when
Rockwell OF the wolverines made his
disputed run, giving his team 6-tO-3
victory. AS soon as the game was fin
ished several hundred Badger rOoterS
dashed on the field and Eckersall was
saved by the quick action OF foot ball
players of both teams.
His contention that he was forced
to accept the ruling OF the field Judge
on the disputed run satisfied Wisconsin
officials, and now that hard feelings OF
fans have subsidized against him, he
was requested to referee today'S game
between the Badgers and Iowa.

C. U. FR0SH DEFEAT
GONZAGA, "a TO 6

That Catholic University again has
an exceptionally strong Freshman foot
ball team is evident today following the
24-6 victor scored by the Cardinal Club
over Gonzaga yesterday. It was the
third win in as many starts for the
c. U. youngsters, and the tenth straight
victory for Cardinal yearling eleven,
the Lafond-coached team having won
all seven of its games last season. It
was the first defeat in three starts this
season for GonZaga.
For the first half Gonzaga gave the
Cardinal youngsters an even battle, the
half ending 6 to 6, but in the closing
stages the latter got their attack func-
tioning In high gear and scored one
touchdown in the third period and add
ed two more in the final session,
BuSsink counted Gonzagas lone
touchdown in the first period, when he
plunged across after a long drive by
the Purple. Gonzaga got the ball to
the Freshmen's l-yard line near the
end of the game, but here forward
pass failed.
Woodward School took the measure
of the Warrenton High eleven, Is to O,
yesterday in the Virginia town. It was
the first win of the season for the
Y. M. c. A. eleven. Willingham scored
Woodwards first touchdown when he
skirted end in the first period, while
Myers ran l8 yards in the third period
for the second. Myers place-kicked for
the extra point after the first touch
down.

Carnegie Tech deployed against
Notre Dame on the Pittsburgh
front, with the Irish favored to
clip the string of the Plaid at two
straight. Holy Cross was no such
favorite over Marquette, which
went to the battle of Worcester

pie. Penn State had an edge over
Lafayette in a game which rated
as a comeback effort for both.
Two of the most evenly matched
elevens in the East clash at the Polo

battle against Davis and ElkinS, each

Elkins has come to be known as an

the pace; Fordham is so new to the
heights that it remains something Of a
puzzle, but was yet to yield a score.

CAPPER WOULD ADD
TO F|REMEN'S PAY
Senator to Do utmost" to
Increase Salaries of Dis
trict Employees.

Senator Capper will do his utmost
to secure adoption of the measure pro-
viding increases in the salary of Dis
trict f1remen and policemen during the
present session of Congress, he has
informed the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association.
Senator Capper, chairman of the
Senate District committee, told the
merchants association in a letter that
his committee probably would take up
the matter after the Christmas recess
and that he personally would do all in
his power to bring about approval OF
the bill by the Senate.
The letter was in response to a COM
munication from the merchants board
urging passage of the measure at this
session.
In reporting the action of the as
ISOLATION to Senator Capper, Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, president Of the trade
body, wrote to Senator Capper, saying
1t is our understanding that this
legislation would bring the salaries OF
these employees of the District In line
with those paid men in similar capacity
in other cities comparable in size to
Washington.
THE Merchants and Manufacturers
Association feels that such an increase
would greatly help in building UP the
morale of the employees of these de-
partments of public service ana would
result In enabling the city to attract
TO us service men of higher caliber."
