The enc used at Fairbanks Creek was rented building.
 From Fairbanks, MT. Keller flew by plane to Eagle. There is no need for a now building there, he said. Although the Legislature approved one on it's building pro- gram, it will not be necessary. Re- pairs will be made on the old building to render it entirely serv- iceable.
 The schools at Fort Yukon and Tanana arc in good shape, as is the Ruby plant. At Ruby a cabin was purchased for living quarters for the teacher, under an appro- priation made by the recent legis- lature..

 Returning from Ruby to Fair banks by plane, MT. Keller made direct connection with the Chitina stage and made the trip out in one day. The building at Chitina is in good condition. He then went to Valdez where he met and con- ferred with the School Board, then returned here.
 Next week the Commissioner will go to Ketchikan to let the con- tracts for the school bus service and look over the Ward Cove school. He will return by Wran- gelf to inspect the work being done on the new school building.

Charmed with Trip

Every member of the party was charmed with the scenery of the Inside Passage and particularly impressed with the scenic beauty of Juneau and it's surroundings Director Albright was one of a party who went for short dis tance up the trail to Gold Creek canyon. T had no idea anything like it existed anywhere in the country he said referring to ths whole voyage. Juneau is de- lightful spot and should attract tourists by the thousands" he added.
 Other members were equally as enthusiastic over the trip. Most of the delegation visited the capitol and spent a short time in the AL aska Museum. A few went by Governors Mansion, and several paid visits to local curio stores and made purchases.

Maryland VS.. Navy

Now we wish to discuss the
Maryland-Nayy game, a week
from Saturday, with what space
we have left. There is a real
ball game that Washington
should attend in flocks. Many
do not know it, but the fact is
Navy and Maryland have a
two-year agreement which will
find them playing here again
next year, nearer the middle Of
the season, and it is the hope
of the two institutions, as we'll
as Clark Griffith, to make this
Washington's outstanding an
nual contribution to the dear
old gridiron world.
No little adverse comment
has been heard on all sides
about the prices to be charged
for the Navy-Maryland meeting.
In this year of depression it
is the popular opinion among
sports patrons that SO and 81
is too much to charge for re-
served seats for this game and
if anything augurs to keep the
attendance down, the price for
it will do it, not the nature
of the contestants.
Many fans who could make
the grade at smaller prices will
be content to read about it in
the papers or to sit at home
and listen to the radio broad
cast Of, say the Notre-Dame-
Northwestern game, for in

Much Is at Stake

You can say what you want
to about Maryland-Navy game,
which is bound to prove a nat
ural anywhere played, but the
Georgetown-Western Maryland
contest will mean so much in
the way of a capacity house at
the New York University game
as well as determine if West
ern Maryland is again to run
roughShod over this section,
that we are inclined to believe
the mob at Griffith Stadium
next Saturday will be surpris-
ing.
They say Dick Harlow is
coming on to Washington Sat
urday with another of those
hugh, driving m hines
which have characterized his
last two seasons at Westmin-
ster, but don't forget he is to
meet a far different football
team in Georgetown than he
ever met before.
Smarter and heavier in the
backfield than in the years i'm
rnediately to the rear, George
town has team which may
truly be called surprise"
team and we believe Western
The Washington times., 1931-09-29

at least two of them will be
worth going miles to see. One
of these games bills the Co.
lOniaIs against Tulsa University.
The other battle involves North
Dakota. These games appear toss
ups, Iowa probably will take the
measure of Pixlee's team, but,
make no mistake, George Wash
ington will not be disgraced even
against such a team as Iowa.
Indeed, it would not be surprising
to see G. w. sneak over a victory.
The Colonials should win over
Boston University, Salem, Elon
and Butler.
Conditions at George Washing
ton never were very good, and
are not now, for first-flight foot
ball. However, Pixlee and his as
Sociates of the coaching staff pay
no attention to that detail. They
work, and work hard, with their
men. The latter are willing and
anxious to learn the game.
With such a spirit existing be-
tween players and coaches a
good team Is always the result.
Then, too, do not forget that
out where the tall corn grows
they play football that ranks with
the best in the East, in the South,
in the Middle West, on the Pa
cific Coast, or anywhere else!
This writer has seen teams
at Kansas, at Nebraska, at Ok.
IahOma and throughout the
Missouri Valley that could, and
did, Outplay the finest this ma
ton could offer. And George
Washington plays Missouri
Valley football!
Looking ahead. and hoping for
conditions more favorable to first
class football. one is inclined to
the firm belief that Pixlee and
his able staff will lead George
Washington back to the heights,
where the Colonials rightfully be-
long.
A Georgetown George Washing
ton game, or a Maryland George
Washington game, would prove a
mighty interesting battle in the
fall of 1882.
The Washington times., 1931-09-29

1t took Jim Pixlee, coach Of
George Washington University, to
bring corn belt football to within
the shadows Of the White House.
When the Colonials take their
famous half-punt formation, the
"out-West" football players eyes
light with pleasure. It is from
this half-punt formation that
footballs most powerful often
sive play develops. It is called
(out in the corn belt) "the cut
back"
The backfield units line up with
the ball carrier six or seven yards

end is wide two or three yards
from his tackle, while the other
is in tight against his running
mate.
The ball carrier takes two or
three comparatively slow steps
parallel to the line Of Scrimmage,
then turns sharply inward and
puts on full steam. When he
crosses the line of scrimmage he
cuts sharply outward. When prop
erly executed, it is a beautiful
play to look at, and is deadly in
it's efficacy.
If the CoIonials master this
remarkable play, trouble lies
ahead for opponents of George
Washington.
Pixlee's squad is a husky, rangy,
raw.boned outfit. It is green, but
it will develop. Out of the As
players 80 are usable as of var
sity timber. There are several
likely looking backs, a couple of
ends who play with confidence
and ability, several linemen who
show promise, a number of better
than average punters and three
or four good forward passers.
The Frosh squad has several
promising youngsters.

must lock. He win win the ma

HURTS SHELVE
c. v. PILOTS

An injury jinx seems to have
camped on the George Washing
ton Colonials' doorstcps. And it Is
making its presence known right
where it can be felt the most-on
the quarterbacks.
Three of the G. w. signal bark
ers are out Of play for varying
lengths Of time. Johnny "Soapy'
Fenlon, considered by Coach Pix
lee and his staff as the ace of his
squad, is the most seriously hurt,
but both Lee Carlin and Frank
Coogler are also on the shelf.
FenlOn had his ankle hurt at
Camp Let's, but thought it was
only a Sprain. The x-ray didn't
though, for it confirmed the
worst fears that he had a
broken bone. So FenlOn will do
no playing for some time. 1t is
hoped he will be in shape for
Tulsa, October 16, the first big
home game on the G. w. card.
Carlin and Coogler both got
their injuries in Saturdays game
with Shenandoah. Carlin had his
right ankle and knee badly twisted
and there is little hope of him
getting into shape for the Elon
game here Saturday. Coogler'S
nose was badly broken, one of
the tender nasal bones being
smashed. When he is able to get
back into action Coogler will have
to wear a special guard.
The Colonials start hard work
in preparation for the Elon game
today. Several new plays have
been given out, and these will be
gone over thoroughly.

BLOCK, BLOCK, )
6. j. SLOGAN

Georgetown will go nowhere in
football unless the team grasps
fully the value of blocking. The
Georgetown attack stalled Satur-
day because the interferers were
a handicap rather than an &C
cessory.
The blocking Of the Hilltop
eleven in Saturdays game with
Lebanon Valley was horrible, to
express it mildly. The boys
seemed afraid to get their suits
soiled, as few ever left their feet
when acting as guides for the ball
carrier.
Georgetown will be like a
fOundering ship without rudder
in the game with Western Mary
land this coming Saturday at
the Clark Griffith Stadium un-
less the linemen and wing
backs are willing to plunge head
long into Western MaryIand's
tackles, ends and secondary de-
: fense.
Head Coach Tommy Mills, dis.
satisfied by his teams miserable
showing last Saturday, plans to
work his players overtime this
week in blocking drills.
Another glaring error in George
towns play Saturday was the fail
ure of the linemen to hurry the
Lebanon Valley forward passer.
They won't be able to do that
against Western Maryland. not

Hoppe back their throwing that

Gabby's first big league ap-

BY FRANK C. MENKE

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-Consis-
tent success has not made "OP
Saint LOO" immune to new in
toxication when gulping the nee
tar of triumph.
So much was obvious here to-
day when the townsfolk went
into ecstasies as hysterical over
the pennant-winning Cardinals Of
1881 as they did back in 1925
when the city gained its first
National League flag. Although
baseball championships are be-
coming almost as numerous in
"Ol Saint Loo" as Mahatma
Gandhi's followers, each new bit
of bunting that floats in Mis-
souri, breezes brings only wilder
delight.
They tossed one of those "wel-
come home" and here comes
the conquering heroes" things for
the Cards in the morning that
rivalled the "hoorahing" affairs
that New York bestows on the
Ljndberghs. They had parade,
they had bands, they had aero
planes flying overhead, and they
had countless thousands lining
the boulevards who shredded
their entire tonsil departments
with their booming acclaims.
go get 'em, boys" they
roared, the "'em" in this spe-
cial instance meaning Connie
Mack and his fence-busting
AS, who get to brawIing with
the Cards on Thursday for the
highest honor of balloon.
Among the items that are
being waited around which have
to do with the series are these:
paul Derringer will be my
starting pitcher" says ChOlly
Street, the boss of the Cards.
''There is little hope that
Haines will get into action. But
1 figure Derringer, Grimes,
Hallahan and johnson will
carry on quite nicely"
The odds are to 5 that the
AS win the series.
On the first game they are like
this: Z to 5 the AS win, but II
Groves heaves them for the AS,
you can have to your II you
think the Cards have chance.
The town is well cluttered with
high and lofty gamblers-the
sharpshooting ladS-with different
ideas as to which club is better.
They will do plenty of wagering
among themselves but beyond a
few sentimental risks, the general
public will not do much plunging
on this seasons classic.
Ticket specs" are almost in
active. They fear the law" will
be sicked on to them, their
places raided and their paste
boards confiscated if they do
business.
The hotels are filling with Gus
toners and will be jammed to
capacity on Wednesday night.
The AS are due here Wednes.
day and, in preparation, the loya!
citizens of "Ol' Saint Loo are
practicing up on shrill Kisses,
loud cat calls and a medley of
boos. All this is intended to
shatter the morale of the AS.
1--WE must get their morale"
is the Cardinal attitude. when
you've got the other teams
morale the rest is simple.
Think of the Giants and Cubs
and Dodgers"

Yankees, Senators and some of
the others when you're doing
