SHOWERS HERE
TONIGHT, SAYS
EXPERT
Yesterday Was Coolest Since
Aug. |, but Natural 'Parasol'
Now Leaves City to SCorch

Local thunderShowers are ex-
pected to afford temporary relief
from the intense heat tonight and
tomorrow, according to Weather
Bureau officials today.
Today is scheduled to be fair
with the mercury rising to around
95 degrees. Tonight is expected to
be warmer than last night.
Relief Won't Last
Weather Bureau officials hold
out no hope for an immediate
relief from the general drought
over the East and Middle West.
The showers promised for Wash
ington win not break the heat
wave but will only afford relief
while the rain is falling, officials
said. Old Man Heat Wave will go
back into action as soon as the
clouds roll by.
Yesterday was the coolest en-
joyed in the Capital since August
! The highest temperature
recorded was 88 shortly after /
o'clock.
Water Conserved
Suburban Washington is still
drawing water from the District
to replenish its badly depleted
supplies. Curtailment OF water in
the suburban sections Is still be-
ing enforced.
Forest fires in Maryland added
further menace to rural sections
It is estimated that $1OO,OOO
worth of timber was destroyed
in Allegany county. Nine hun.
dred men were fighting the fire
on a 2O-nile front.
Crop Losses Enormous
Crops losses in Maryland and
Virginia, due to the drought, are
estimated by the thousands of
dollars and the total damage will
run into millions. Reports of
widespread disaster to crops IN
general are carried in the blti-
letins from the Department. of
Agriculture.
The lowest temperature here
yesterday was 78, at o'clock III
the morning. Low clouds, shield
ing the city from the scorch
ing rays of the sun, added con-
siderably to the comfort Of the
day.

Ten conference football champion
ship and there its little prospect Of
the precedent being broken this
year, but if the boosters have fair
share of luck there is a fair chance
that they will finish in first division.
Coach Pat Page has only two var
sity backs and two regular linemen
left from an aggregation that won
only two of its eight games last fall
and he has booked another heavy
schedule, calling for excessive
travel, but there are indications
that Indiana is going to be STUN

Indiana has been becoming in
creasingly tough year by year since
Pat Page took up the coaching
reins and this season has the larg-
est grid squad in the history of the
school, including seventeen letter
men from 1929 and a wealth of
sophomore material.
Development OF a capable line is
Pages big problem, and the lack
of beef among line candidates is
causing him worry. With Chuck
Brubaker, quarter back, and George
Ross, half back, as a nucleus for
his back field, Pat believes his ball
carriers will have little trouble
gaining considerable yardage if he
can build up presentable forward
wall
Brubaker, rated by Page as The
best quarter back in the conference,
and Ross are certain of places in
the back field with Vic Dauer and
Walter Koenig, subs from last sea-
son, the leading candidates for the
other two posts. Other back field
candidates include Ed Hughes, full
back; Lucien Ashby and Marian
Dross, quarter backs, and Emery
Parks, half back; from the 1929 re-
serve squad and the sophomores
Saluski, Edmonds and Streicher.
Ben Mankowski, who saw consid-

Joe Zeller, guard, are counted on to
hold down their old positions.
