First they made letters with the

Then the kaleidoscope oblong said
"Ahoy," picturing q lighthouse beside a
sea of blue and under a sky of crimson.
They shifted their cards to make a
shield of red, white and blue, then sang
Anchors Aweigh" as the ocean of cards
became q Navy anchor on q field of
white. The placards became an Army
mule, which was made to kick and was
followed on to the scene by Navy goat.
which magically butted the mule out of
the picture. Finally the cards became
an American flag which waved as the
midshipmen swung from side to side in
even rhythm.
Between the halves Secretary Hurley
crossed the field and escorted back to
microphone Secretary Adams. Both
were presented to the air audience by
Mayor Walker of New York, and during
the last and exciting half of the game
Secretary Adams was the guest of Sec
retary Hurley in the latters box on the
Army side of the field.
The kickoff sent end over end down
the field a foot ball autographed by
President Hoover, the Secretaries of
War and Navy, Mayor Walker and the
players on the two teams. This pigskin
was withdrawn from competition at

to the highest bidder between halves.

But when $4,000 had been raised in
the auction, starting with q 81 200 bid

called off and Comdr. Booth asked that

mer New York police commissioner
and chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee which arranged the game. Mr..
Whalen got the foot ball, but the bid
ders gave their collective $4,000 to the
Salvation Army to swell its relief fund.
A gold medallion with a mule on
one side and goat on the other was
used in the toss at the outset of the
game, and 1t was auctioned off tonight

Long after the last crisp echo Of the
Army'S "SIum and Gravy song and
the Navy's battle yell had died in the
far tiers of the stadium the merriment
in charity's name and for its benefit
continued at downtown hotels. The
cadets and midshipmen themselves
joined in these festivities. The Army

they returned to West Point. The Mid
shipmen had the night off. and will be

DOLORES SALAZAR
WEDS JOHN R. HOLM MES
Actress Who Won $4,000 Suit
Against Earle Bride of Late
Flour Magnate's Son.

BY the Associated Press.
LAS VEGAS, New, December 13.-
The marriage here yesterday Of Dolores
L. Salazar, %, film actress, and John
r. Holmes, 81, son of the late Payton
r. Holmes, Minneapolis -four magnate
was revealed today by District Judge
William E. Orr, who performed the
ceremony.
Miss Salazar announced her engage
ment to young Holmes last Spring
shortly after she had obtained $4,000
damages from Ferdinand Pinney
(Affinity) Earle. artist now living IN
Paris, for alleged breach Of q pre-
nuptial agreement. The announcement
however, was denied emphatically by
both Mrs. Payton Holmes and her son,
the bridegroom, who were residing IN
Minneapolis, where the young man at
tended the University of Minnesota.
Later the actress also denied the en-
gagement.
Both the young people gave their
home addresses as Los Angeles.
The marriage recalled the lengthy
trial of Miss Salazar's suit for damages
against Earle. She charged she met
him in 1925 and that he proposed to
her, promising also to settle $4,000 on
her before the marriage and agreeing to
give her the lead in q motion picture
he was producing. She said she accom-
panied him to Mexico City, where q
mock wedding was performed.
In his answer, made by deposition,
Earle said he never had proposed mar
riage to Miss Salazar, but she, "like a
ripe peach, fell into my lap at my firSt

EXCESS HOUSING
IN CAPITAL DENIED
Lindholm Statement Draws
Data From Rufus S. LuSk
on Building Pace.

The statement by S. G.. Lindholm,
engineer Of the zoning Commission,
that Washington's housing facilities
have been overbuilt, was challenged
last night by Rufus S. .Lusk, secretary
of the Operative Builders Association.
Mr.. Lusk said that he does not
question the accuracy of Mr.. Lindholm s
figures, as set forth in a map the engi-
neer prepared and which was published
IN the real estate section Of The Star
yesterday. There is a much larger
Aumber of housing facilities for families
provided for during the last 10 years
than in the actual increase in popula-
ton, Mr.. Lusk asserted.
1920 Situation Cramped.
Washington's house and apartment
building situation was at a standstill In
1920, the city being cramped. he said.
due to the cessation Of construction
during the World War. Had the cttyS
population remained stationary from
would have to build considerable
houses. In the course of 10 years, Mr..
Lusk stated, at least 10000 units
houses and apartments-would be torn
down or worn out
Surveys just completed by Rufus s.
Lusk, Inc, he said, show that compar-
ing last month with November, 1929
there existed IL per cent of vacancies
of apartments as compared with 9e
per cent in last year, representing q
reduction of about 80 per cent In the
number of vacant apartments. He esti-
mates that there are about 10000 apart
mentS in the city and this is the lowest
per cent apartment vacancy in five
years. Los Angeles, he asserted. has
not had a lower percentage than 20 In
the case of apartments during the past
five or six years.
Vacancies Below Normal.
With reference to houses, Mr.. Lusk
said the vacancies in old houses Is 21a
per cent, which is way below normal
New houses for sale represented 20 pei
cent less on December /, compared with
December l of last year.
Washington Is not building too fast
in the matter Of homes, Mr.. LuSk in
sisted, and the situation Is improv-
ing, as shown by the surveys. Fore
closures on houses for the last five
months have averaged 25 per cent less
than for the same period of last year
Mr. LIsk said.
