 Whats it like? Well, I wouldn't want to describe it. Some of the teams who played us late in the year secuted it carefully but did not succeed in analysing it. It is played with an unbalanced line and we use spinners almost en- tirely."
 De Hart was rated one of the smartest players Pitt ever had. During the war he was in the fly ing service and coached and cap- tained a rather famous team at Mather Field.
 His outstanding feat in 1918 was beating Stanford and California on successive days.
 Walter Camp named DeHart quarter and captain of the All- Service team.

Secretary to Pitts
Refuses to Testify

Miss Helen L. Schneider, former
secretary to G. Bryan Pitts, banker
facing contempt action in connec-
ton with alleged spurious docu-
ments introduced in evidence at
the trial of the former F. H. Smith
Company executive head, more
than a year ago. declined to tes-
tify today concerning the docu-
ments and Pitts transactions, on
the grounds that it might incrimi-
nate her.
Possibility that Miss Schneider
might be included in the contempt
citation against Pitts was shown
when, after she was excused, Neil
Burkinshaw, special assistant to
the Attorney General, declared he
would seek to have the citation
broadened to include the former
secretary as a defendant.
Miss Schneider claimed i'm
munity under her constitutional
rights on advice of counsel. She
is at present under indictment for
perjury upon practically the same
evidence upon which the Govern
ment bases its contempt action
against Pitts.

Thirteen years to the hour after
the guns ceased booming on the
Western Front, President Hoover
stood on a flag-draped platform
in, Potomac Park today and ex-
pressed the conviction that despite
the turbulence of world affairs for
the past year, progress is steadily
being made toward the win goal
of disarmament and world peace:
The outstanding problem Of

of the world is to re-eStabllsh con-

it's institutions, but among ma

This declaration Immediately
followed a reference to the trying
economic times through which
the world has been passing
during the last two years. So
trying, he said, that the stability
of many nations has been greatly
shaken. He said:

be made to economic relief than

ton that progress is being made
in relieving stress and strain
which now so OppreSS the at

"Such action requires no

and within its own best inter
est to the building of good
will and the rebuilding of con-
fidence.
THAT progress is being made"
Mr.. Hoover made no reference

bled state of European affairs.
