FOOD SHOW OPENS
FOR Today PERIOD
Couple Admit Engagement
When Presented With
Gift.

When Frank Amorosi was presented
with q sterling silver water pitcher at
the opening session Of the Food Show
last night he and his flancee, Miss
Frances Jenkins, found it filled with
courage, and promptly admitted they
are to be married in the very near
future.
It all happened just after Miss Rita
rirallo, %. of 1885 Jackson street
northeast, had been named Miss Food
Show" in the bathing beauty contest.
The crowd that massed about the little
stage In the lower hall of the Wash
inRton Auditorium cheered Miss Figallo
into victory and then waited to see who
vas to receive the silver pitcher.
Admits Engagement.
! Mr.. Amorosi was the person, and
when he advanced to receive the shin
ing gift of silver a diminutive girl fol-
lowed him. her hand tucked in his.
When the pitcher was handed to him
Mr.. Amorosi promptly turned and pre-
scented 1t to the girl. She was Miss
Jenkins and as she snuggled the gift
into her arms Mr.. Amorosi admitted to
FOOD Show officials that they are to be
married. But nobody knows it yet"
he added hastily.
well, won't they know it when they
hear about this pitcher business" he
was asked.
well" And he looked at the
girl who smiled her assent, and then.
"Sure! We don't care who knows it
now. Well let everybody know this
way
{ And then the couple posed for their
picture with the pitcher that has given
them courage-and a means-to an
rounce their engagement. The future
bride lives at 1923 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. and the bridegroom -to-be lives at
$50 L street.
In capturing the title of Miss Food
Show" Miss Figallo won a round "trip
sir voyage to New York. Following her
victory in the bathing beauty contest,
which was the first of series of nightly
competitions during the course of the
To-day food exposition, Miss Figallo
said that she had been saving for just
such an excursion as she won last night
In the. contest five girls, attractively
costumed in bathing suits, presented
themselves to the audience. BY the
volume Of applause was deterWined the
winner. The four other contenders for
the prize trip we're Miss Olive Wheaton
Of 1911 Emerson street northeast. Miss

UNDERSTUDY FOR
IS. {. FULLBACK
TO GET TRYOUT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. "a. UP
Coach Howard Jones was to learn
today if he would have another
fullback to understudy Jim Musick
on the University of Southern Cali
fornia football team.
The understudy will be, Jones
hopes, none other than Dick Bar
ber, holder Of the national inter-
collegiate broad jump record of 25
feet 3la inches.
Barber. who played football for
three years at Long Beach High
school, has not competed for the
Trojans because of parental OBJ
iections, but he held family hudd,e
last night to see if the objections
could not be overcome.
Barber weighs 180 pounds and is
the perfect build for fullback, in
Jones estimation. He also would
rank as the fastest man on the
squad for he approximates even
time in both the 100 and 220 yard
dashes.
Jones has indicated he is not
satisfied with the work of Homer
Griffith, sophomore fullback. who
has been Musick's understudy.

The New Yorker went to the mat
