X X
Mr.. William Klein, a legal light OF
Chicago, has induced certain legislators
from his mighty State to introduce ana
support bill into Congress which would
forbid that novel form of piracy which
means stealing designs OF hats, coats
and gowns from the original makers
and turning out the identical article at
a lower cost without the formality OF
paying the designer Every woman in
this broad land is interested in the out
come of this bill, but all agree that 1t is
likely to get nowhere at all. 1t is\com-
mon knowledge that woman with an
eye for designing can cast a casual
glimpse at the most novel Partisan out
fit and then make near enough copy
to render her one look profitable in
vestment. Indeed, enterpriSing milliners,
modistes and tailors send their agents
to modish assemblies just to look over
the fashionable throng for the very
purpose of creating just as good as they
better. Certain high-claSS
modlSteS in Paris ask lofty price for
their apparel because they claim 1t Is
exclusive. But it is unique only so long
as 1t hangs in the firms wardrobe.
Once exposed to the public gaze hum
dred copies more or less worthy may be
on promenade within the week. The
Chicago lawyer claims for a large mail
order coat and gown mandatory that
dresSmakers and tailors
buy one or two of their best products
and then. with only slight changes,
turn out enough to ruin trade for the
original owner. Such people are classed
as subtle pirates and difficult to convict
in court, for any change makes their
garment a different one, although to
the unframed eye it may appear to be
the same.

South atlantic Grid Season Starts Early School Squads Return
c. j. GRID OUTLOOK
BECOMES BRIGHTER
Mills, Handicapped by Young
Squad and New System,
Turns Optimistic.

-OR several days Georgetown did
~ not regard its foot ball outlook
as any too rosy, according to
reports, but now word comes
that things are taking on . brighter
color. H. G.. Murphy, graduate man
ager Of athletics on the Hilltop, thinks
that conditions seem much better, and
says that Coach Tom Mills also is de-
veloping an optimistic line Of rea-
soning.
Murphy sums UP Georgetown's pres
ent situation remarkably well in this
Coach Tommy Mills has begun 10
vary his pesSimtstic outlook for the
coming grid campaign. Mills, starting
his first year at Georgetown, facing q
difdcult schedule, inaugurating a new
system and left with practically a
rookie squad, had more than sufIicient
reason to be downcast about the i'm
mediate future. The past week, how
ever, has given cause for q brighter
outlook.
The squad has been unusually alert
about grasping the intricacies Of the
Notre Dame system, and many q sup
posed weakness has begun to disappear.
DubofSky and Katalinas have shown
up remarkably well at the tackle posi-
tions. Leavey and Brennan, have done
good work at the end, and show prom
Use of further development. Capt. Bill
Morris has lost all effects of his old
injury and Is reproducing his Brilliant
play of the past.
IAN interesting battle for the quar-
terback position Is being waged by
Scalzi and Danieu, and continues to be
a neck-and-neck affair. Mills merely
grins and makes no comment as to the
relative standing Of the two. John
BoZek Is playing q sensational game,
the same that brought him fame under
Lou Little. He is further aided and
abetted by the younger Bozek, Emile.
He looks to be likely successor to his
famous brother, and he probably will
make for himself the other halfback
position. Bordeau, who played a few
games last year has the edge on ellis
for the fullback position.
with three weeks before the opening
game, it is very likely that Georgetown
will send a team into competition that
will be on q par at least with the
Georgetown teams of the past. The
eleven will play practically q road game,
which may handicap 1t somewhat.
With the exceptions OF the home COM
ing game with West Virginia and the
Michigan State game in Washington,
an International opponent the i'm
portant contests are scheduled abroad.
Western Maryland at Baltimore, VII
lanova at Philadelphia, New York Uni
versity at New York, Boston College at
Boston, Detroit University at Detroit
and Loyola University at Chicago. OF
these major contests. Villanova, Loy-
ola and Michigan State are new to
Georgetown foot ball."

ANNAPOLIS VARSITY
GETS HARD WORKOUT
Six Full Teams Are Used During
Extended Scrimmages as
Selection Date Nears.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, September 49,
"A scrimmage between the Naval Acad-
envy squads and varsity with constant
ay changing personnel in both teams
occupied the whole afternoon at the
Naval Academy.
No player was allowed to remain in
the game for more than a half hour,
the average being about 20 minutes,
ard six full teams from each SQUAD were
used during the course Of the playing.
On the varsity were relieved, as the
none Of their keymen should be In
The varsity, at the beginning, lined
tackle, Bowstrom; left guard, Under
wood; center, Pray. right guard, Gray;
right tackle, Bryan; right end, Miller:
quarterback, Bauer; left half, 10th;
right half, Tschirgi; fullback Hagberg.
Some of these look like first choices
eor the early games, while there Is much
doubt as to other positions.
Bauer and Hagberg are likely TO start
in the backfleld and Bowstrom and
Bryan are first choices for the tackles
Gray, guard, and Byng, end, are others
wi1o look like fixtures.
The coaches, for the present, are con-
eentrating on giving every candidate
complete elementary instruction, rather
khan picking q varsity.
The present squad win be divided into
varsity and squad B some time next
week The varsity will number A and
