! DEWITT IS LOOKING
FOR SCORING PUNCH
Has Failed to Count in Two Games,
but at Same Time Has Held
Rivals Pointless. :

Unscored upon by Catholic Univer-
gfty Freshmen and Newport News High
school. yet unable to count themselves,
Dewitt PREM gridderS are hard at work
now under the guidance Of Coach Jim
Mcnamara, who Is trying to tnstil
real scoring punch.
Both games have resulted in score
less ties, speaking well for the Dewitt
defense, but the offense, according to
McNamara, has been lamentably weak.
McNamara's warriors came out OF the
Newport News game Saturday rather
the worse for the wear, five of his
regulars being able to participate in
little or no practice.
Al Cohn, end, will be out for week
or two with q badly Sprained ankle.
George Nagroni halfback, also will be
missing for a week or more. Nagroni
Is suffering from water on the knee.
Buddy Moore, 265-pound guard, has
o broken rib and will not be able TO
play for some time. Moore's injury was
not known until yesterday, when he
began to feel pains for the first time.
Added to that, Paul Tangora and Ray
Millard are banged up, but both are ex-
pected to play Friday against Alexar-
dria High which has been booked IN
place Of the George Washington Fresh
men.
Capt Bits Schriver is expected to I'LL
Nagroni's shoes Friday, while Bill Hall
probably viii take over Moores place
on the line.
Thus far Joe Cronin and Buddy
Mayo, two newcomers to Dewitt, have
been outstanding. Cronin, the only
triple -threat player on the team, has
impressed all around, while Mayo. the
lightest player on the line, has been
giving a good account of himself both
on defense and offense.
The game Friday with Alexandria
High should give Mcnamara an oppor-
tunity to see what Dewitt can do in the
way Of offense. They play at $3.50
O'Clock on the Alexandria field. The
game scheduled for SATURDAY. with
Jamaica High Of New York also has
been cancelled, owing TO the latter
schools inability to make the trip.

born GRIDDYNAMO;
POOR PLAY PICKER
Worst Yale BIunder in Tilt
With Georgia Was Taking
Time-0ut Penalty.
BY GEORGE TREVOR.

n i 6W LO1S1N3 OCNODCA ~
nj Albie Booth should not call
/ Y signals. There's a reason
two of them, in fact. To
begin with, this foot ball genius
has shown no evidence of having
quarterback mind"
Able is a born driver, a great hand
at infusing zip and zest and life into a
lopgy team, but he is a poor play
picker-constantly violates the rules OF
strategy. AS the Georgia Tech scout
put it, "a high school quarterback would
know better than to throw a pass at
midfeld with the game nearly over and
his team leading, II to H."
This Tech observer secuted Georgia
In the bowl. He couldn't fathom Yales
incredible dumbneSs in taking extra time
out when Georgia had a first down on
the 9-yard line with barely two minutes
to 60. Imagine ceding five vital yards
voluntarily at that crucial moment!
This free offering was tantamount to
handing Georgia the foot ball game.
When the ball was automatically moved
ahead to the 4-yard mark Yales chance
Of averting touchdown vanished.
Somebody Numbered and the blun-
der probably cost Yale game it did not
deserve to win.
It is no easy task for hard-driving
team like Georgia to hammer out
touchdown from the 9-yard line in four
tries, with the defense concentrated
and the secondaries supporting their
line. But when Yale's overtime PEN
atty put the ball four yards from the
goal the Jig was up! Why didn't Yale
send in substitutes for its fagged-out
players instead of handing Georgia the
five yards that made the touchdown
inevitable? Eli partisans couldn't be-
lieve their eyes when they saw that
precious yardage surrendered without a
struggle.
The second and most important rea-
son why Booth should be relieved of his
signal calling lies in the youngsters
suddenly acquired diffldence. A year
ago he wasn't afraid to hog the ball
to call his own signal again and
again-to rely on himself in scoring
emergencies.
Publicity has evidently made Booth
self-conscious. He acts as though he
were afraid Of being dubbed "a show
off," Certainly he didn't give himself
enough chances at crucial moments last
Saturday.

brought UP with loyalty for
country, respect for law, and
today I find myself q social
outcast, a suspicious character
and, in all, undesirable to a
community.
Three months ago I had a
job in a small drug store in a

ways seemed to please the boss
until the third Saturday night
in August he came around and
told me that he was sorry but
he would have to let me go.
His nephew was out Of work
and so he would have to give
him work, mad business would
not permit the keeping Of me,
too.
Out Of o Job
So, with winter coming, and
no notice, was without a job,
with little money ahead. One
can save little on what a clerk
makes. and to this day, after
travelling thousands of miles,
doing everything from washing
dishes to chopping wood to
earn something to eat on. I
have been unable to find work.

AND OF FINDING OUT
