fering then by whitewaSheS of
SO, 81 and SO respectively.
That makes Little and Crow
ley stand-offS as coaches insofar
as the first three games Of the
season are concerned and next
Saturdays game between Dart
mouth and Columbia will tell
the story that so many advo-
Gates at MorningSide Heights
are listening to hear. Last year
the Hanoverites won by 81

And Lou Little is doing some
writing independent of his
newspaper efforts. The current
issue of Enlightened Homes"
the house organ of the Pepco,
carries Little'S answer to the
question propounded to him
by the staff writer Ruth
Brindze, Should My Son Play
Football?"
The answer is an emphatic
yes, the authority pointing out
the mental and physical quail
tiles which football develops in
a young man against the game
Of life which awaits him be-
yond the college portals.
There is self sacrifice as
well as courage to be learned
from the game Of football" Lit
tie tells Miss Brindze. "The
player Of football learns self
discipline and Self-preservation
in football" declares Little,
"and learns what it means to
keep ones body in splendid
physical fettle the while"
But Lou must have smiled
when he told Miss Brindze that
football as now played is not
the rough-and-tumble game it
was a quarter Of a century ago
and that the sport is now
largely a matter Of speed,
brains and alertness. I have
never been able to see that
football, in its various stages
Of refinement, has lost any of
its rough-and-tumble attributes,
although any byStander can
see that the game is no longer
one in which Drawn alone
counts, it having been made
highly scientific the while it
has still retained all of its
brawny, body-contact character
isticS.
However, the question which
Little discusses with Miss
Brindez Is not a general one to
be answered finally by any in
dividual for all others. Wheth-
er the son plays football in
this day and age is more up
to that son than it is even
to his parents-if we Judge
the modern youth correctly.

If you don't believe football and
politics mix, then it might he
worth your time to engage Clip
per" in conversation on either sub
ject. The problems Of the Com
monwealth of Connecticut are
just as much a fluent and practi'
cal bit of understanding and
knowledge to him as are the du
ties of a guard on the 81 play, or
any other plan for that matter.
Clipper" was an all-Amer1can
guard Just three falls ago when
he captained Notre Dame.
That Clipper will be elected
to office is the fond and
earnest hope and expectation,
not only Of his friends here,
but also his political advisers
back in the Nutmeg State.
OF course, by coaching here,
Smith is greatly Handicapped be
cause Of his inability to be present
at many political rallies back
home. This, however, In a large
measure, is overcome by his I'M
mense popularity there.
A resident of Hartford, Smith
is known throughout the State
not alone for his football deeds
but also for his ability as a
lawyer. After receiving his de-
gree in law from Notre Dame in
June 1928, Clipper" returned
home and Immediately Joined
one Of the leading firms in his
own city.
Success came his way so readily
that his friends practically drafted
him to run for nomination as
State Senator. He was the over
whelming choice Of his party in
this nomination and his case
comes up before the voters just
three weeks hence.
To point out the esteem and
affection in which he is held at
home is best shown by the ban
quet rendered him Immediately
after he was named on the All
America team when he returned
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

home at the Christmas holidays
in 1927.
The hall could only hold
1,OO0 and it was. over-sub-
Scribed as soon as the tickets
were placed on sale. Cover
nor Trumbull, of Connecticut,
was there, so was Mayor
Jimmy Walker, Of New York,
and a host of other digni-
tarieS.
A modest chap, Smith was
overwhelmed by this, admiration
and adulation. He prefers to
say that his home folks were too
good to him, that he didn't de-
serve such recognition. Besides
throwing all sorts of oratorical
bouquets at him during the ban
quet, Smith was the recipient of
a $1,000 purse Of gold.
That's the way Smith stands
back home. And he'll fly back
there a couple Of times during the
last few weeks Of the campaign
to give the constituents some
real old-fashioned vote getting
speeches.
But he'll be on the job here
whipping his Blue and Gray for
wards into the best possible
shape, too. At a great personal
sacrifice to his law. practice and
political ambitions, Clipper an
swered the call Of Coach Tommy
Mills to come to Georgetown to
replace Tim Moynihan as Hilltop
line coach when the latter de-
cided to return to Notre Dame as
center coach this fall instead of
coming here. Clippers results
in this field speak for themselves.
This is tip-off on the sterling
quality Of the man. Is it any
wonder that his friends see him
being elected by an overwhelming
majority?
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

The impression is gaining
that much of the blues Coach
Tommy Mills has been singing
before his weekly contests, is
of the artificial variety and
that Tommy knows, as many
others believe they are begin
ming to recognize, that George
town has a far better football
team than was to be hoped for.
No later than yesterday af-
ternoon I heard a Blue and
Gray alumnus, who was a foot
ball player up yonder within
the decade, offer to bet George
town beats Western Maryland
by three touchdowns. If money
talks, as it does in most quar-
ters, here was an example Of
profound confidence.
Possibly this product Of the
Blue and Gray was somewhat
sentimental in his offer, being
misguided by the comforting
scores with which Georgetown
won its first three games. Or,
it might be true that George
town has a better team than
many suspect.
In the West Virginia Wes-
leyan game G. U. backs certainly
showed up to rare advantage,
and such a comment is not to
iraply the Georgetown line is
made of cane sugar. But since
the scoring machinery is large
ly confined to the backs it is
encouraging to note that
Tommy Mills has them click
ing nicely in the system Of
play which he has introduced
at the Hilltop, and like the
alumnus who wanted to gamble
on the Blue and Gray next Sat
urday. this observer is inclined
to believe at least some Of
Mills blues were unwarranted
for there are many indications
his team is rounding to in fair
form.
Lou Little, who thousands Of
WashingtonianS have not for
gotten, seems to be going over
in a very big and substantial
way in New York. Besides
meeting early season success
with the Columbia eleven, Lou
has been well met by the towns
folks in a town that isn't the
easiest in the world to crash.
They've got him writing for a
newspaper and going out among
the high schools talking to the
lads who are at the age where
they will soon have to make
up their minds which college
they hope to attend. He is
also talking frequently over the
radio.
Columbia has scored 121
points against its first three

three other teams, Avenue Valet
Shop, Northeast Italians and De-
Isis Shoemakers sprung UP to
challenge these two. Many
matches were rolled wit n
Rinaldi's stellar aggregation scor-
ing over all its oponentS.
These all-Italian matches
brought about the International
duckpin war with the Jewish and
Greek bowlers and stimulated
greatly the foreign interest in the
game. :.
The first Italian Sweep
stakes, which was won by
Mike Vitale, was rolled in
May, 1929, and brought out
about so bOwlers. The affair
was divided in two classes,
with Mike FresChi winning
the Class b title. Ollie Pacini
took the title last year, with
Tony Ma1ey winning Glass B.
During 1929-3O, Holy Rosary
bowlers had a team in the East
ern League, and also conducted q
doubles league successfully, while
the Standard, Art, Marble and
Tile team, composed Of bowle-s
who rolled with Avenue Valet
Shop, won the Southeast League
title. An all-ItaEan doubles
league which included all the
top-notchers ran for some ten
weeks.
This year there are four all
Italian teams in the running, with
Rinaldi'S Tailors, in the National
Capital, the most outstanding
This team includes several non
Italians.
Standard Art, Marble and
Tile has shifted to the Build
ing Contractors League, while
Holy Rosary has gone over to

binatiOn in the Pintas.
Ollie Pacini is the outstanding
bowler among the Mussolini fol-
lowers. Last year he placed fifth
in the city's ranking and was
picked thirteenth among U. S.
bowlers. One of the most active
promoters of bowling generally is
Leo Rinaldi, who captained the
Grand Palace team, last year Ma
tional Capital champions and the
= District defenders against the in
vasion Of Connecticut All-Stars.
Both are truly Italians, for both
were born in Italy.
The Italians ranked their
bowlerS as follows in a poll taken
in 1929: /, Ollie Pacini; 2, Joe
Pricci; 3, Tony Santini; 4, Mike
Vitale; 5, Joe FreSchi; 6, Leo
Rinaldi; Z, Louie Bombrest; 8,
Johnny MoriSi; 9, Pete Cocuzzi;

This list would undergo radical
change if polled anew, for such
boys as Johnny Micro, Louie

the first three named were able

In discussing Italian bowlers of
the city one is faced with pecu-
liar situation. They are numerous
and expert, but belong to widely
scattered groups. There is no
league to keep them together.
The Italian element has been
conspicuous in local bowling cir
cles less than three years, but in
that time its growth has been
phenomenal. Previous to 1929
only one team, entirely made up
of Italians, made any kind Of sus-

That was the Columbia Lodge
