TWO TOWNS SEEK
CHARTER RIGHTS
Seat Pleasant and CheverIy
to Ask Assembly to
Pass Bills.
BY a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd. Janary IT.
Proposals for the incorporation Of two
Prince Georges County towns will be
laid before the county's delegates in the
State Legislature within the next few
weeks.
A citizens committee Of Seat Pleasant
already has approved q proposed bill
giving that community town charter,
while the incorporation Of Cheverly is
being sought by several prominent civic
leaders there.
Would Bring Improvements.
In both communities IT is asserted
that Incorporation would result in i'm
proved streets, better police protection
and sanitary conditions.
In approving q proposed bill. the Seat
Pleasant citizens named q committee to
present it to the legislature and con-
duct an election which will decide
whether or not the charter Is accept
able to the town.
The committee consists Of George
Redding, chairman; George N Palmer,
William w. Bowman, James Arnold, J..
C. Gray, Daniel G. Joseph and Robert
G. Kraft.
The charter which this committee
backs is similar to one proposed in 1924,
but defeated at that time. 1t applies
only to Seat Pleasant, Maryland Park
having failed TO approve the plan after
the incorporation Of both under one
charter had been proposed at a pre-
liminary meeting.
Provisions Of Charter.
The proposed charter provided for the
election of a mayor and five councilmen
annually on the first Monday in May
for O one-year term. It empowers the
council to borrow not more than $25 900
for public improvements in the town.
II the legislature adopts the bill the
citizens of Seat Pleasant will conduct
their referendum upon it on the first
Monday 10 days after the act becomes
effective.
Mr. Robertson, one of the members
Of the committee, said today that
while the committee heSitates to pre-
dict what the outcome will be when
the matter Is voted upon by the cit
liens, the progressive business men Of
the community are now ralying to the
support OF the measure"

ing an achievement. 1t was a final
victory that lifted the Crimson Tide UP
to an even level with the South Bend
Cyclone.
Those who have seen both Alabama
and Notre Dame play are somewhat
divided in their opinions, but Ala
bama'S support from the neutra1S Is eX-
tremely strong. There is no question
ing the fact that Alabama had better
line than Notre Dame, q better line
than any foot ball team in the country.
Tackles and guards from 200 TO 215
pounds, with the speed OF those Ala
bama forwards, are well out Of the
usual order.
When it comes to schedules there
is little difference. Tennessee and Van
derbilt, beaten by Alabama, were about
on a par with Northwestern and the
Army. Georgia, earlier in the season,
was on a par with the best. The
Georgia team that beat Yale and New
York University was stronger than
Pittsburgh, Navy or Carnegie Tech.
Georgia had gone over the crest when
Tulane and Alabama finally struck 1t
after a killing program.
Florida was f1rst-claSs foot ball
team and yet was outclassed by Ala
barna.
Just what would have happened II
Alabama and Notre Dame had met can
remain as one of those arguments never
to be settled. Alabama had the strong
er line, Notre Dame the better backheld
And there often are occasions when
the stronger line can nullify the better
backfleld. There also are occasions
when 1t can't, If the difference isn't
large.
Washington State had a powerful
defense Any team that can score
"a points against this defense has an
attack that can't be overlooked. Ala
bama, defensively was stronger than
Notre Dame-but not so alert from the
scoring viewpoint, although the differ
ence on either side was not marked.
When 1t comes to q matter of ma
tional rating, where no prejudice or
partisan emotion Is involved, there Is
no other way except to rate the two
delegates from Tuscaloosa and South
-end upon even terms.
