CHAMPIONS START
DRILLS THIS WEEK
Central, With New Coach, in
SpotIight-Gray Again
Likely to Triumph.
BY E. A. FULLER. JR.

A CERTAIN sign of approach
~ ing Autumn is the fact that
1 a foot ball preparations will
be started this week among
schoolboys Of the District area. At
least aspirantS for the Tech High
squad will begin work and it will
be a matter OF only few weeks
before scholastic gridders and
would-be gridders will be swarm
ing the fields in this section.
Techs bunch, always the first to
begin the grid grind, will assemble as
usual at the University Of Maryland for
q pre-school training course. The boys
in Gray will gather at College Park
Wednesday and remain there for 10 or
IL days. Hap Hardell, who has among
other achievement coached Tech to
the public high title the last four sea-
sons. again is on the job. He is as
colorful, as full Of wise cracks, as in
teresting as ever.
THERE was some talk several months
L back of getting the school authori-
tico W clamp OOWH OH eALenOeQ
! pre-school training periods for public
high gridders. 1t was contended that
| the squads which underwent such train
| ing gained so much from it as to put
the other squads, which could not ar
range to attend camps, at a serious
disadvantage. To date, however, nothing
has been done.
Tech, though, will be the lone squad
of the public high group to maintain
camp. Central will not 60 away this
year but will get in its preparation in
its stadium. The Blue, coached for
the first time by Bert Coggins, who has
succeeded Ty Rauber, resigned, will
/ assemble in the stadium September 8.
Eastern under Coach Mike Kelley
probably will get started next week
while Business and Western will wait
until school reopens before beginning
work. Don Ahern at Western, and
Lynn Woodwork, at Business, again
will be at the helm.
At this stage it looks like Tech again
so far as the public high title is con-
cerned. The Gray has a good nucleus,

BARUCH DECLARES
DEFEAT|SM BROKEN
Dollar SoundneSs and Rising
Prices Cited in Outline
of Economic Program.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 12.-The
demonstrated soundness of the dollar
and rising agricultural prices, in the
opinion of Bernard M. Baruch have
broken the spirit of defeatism in
America.
He outlined his ideas for an economic
program in this country and for the
establishment of lasting peace in Eu-
rope, at the Armistice day reunion of
the War Industries Board of which
he was chairman. About $50 members
of the wartime board, including many
prominent industrialists, financierS and
business executives attended the gath
ering.
Tariff Suggestion Included.
Among his suggestions for adjust
mentS to make the most of a return
ing prosperity were: Tariff revision by
direct international negotiation or by
a specially created commission which
would negotiate tariff schedules with
other nations on reciprocity basis;
increase of the income tax in the
higher brackets; study of the advisable
ity Of sales tax; peace-time industrial
planning by the creation of an advisory
council as an aid to the Government
but with limited powers; modification
of the Sherman act.
concerning the european situation,
Mr.. Baruch said:
soon the end of the Hoover year OF
the moratorium will be upon us. We
will then again be faced with the debts
and reparaticnS questions. There can
be no settlement of either of those
questions until the age-long struggle in
volving France, Germany and Poland Is
adjusted In a manner that will bring
about lasting peace among those three
countries.
Peace Up to France.
GAS matter Of fact, this peace lies
in the hollow of the hand of France.
1t Is for her to say If peace and happi-
ness shall reign over Europe.
MANY people ask for a cancellation
Of debts, but they cannot be Cancelled.
If we forgive the money that is owed
us. the American taxpayer, manufac-
turer, laborer and farmer must pay it.
eff peace is established and trade re-
wives in the countries affected, we can
take up anew the discussion of debts
and reparations, but until then it must
appear to all that it is unwise to dc
anything further in the circumstances"
Predicting that the next presidential
election will be determined by spirit
of constructive liberalism rather than
by demagogic radicalism, Mr.. Baruch
mentioned Gov. Albert c. Richie of
Maryland as the man "to which the
finger of fate seems to point as being
perhaps destined to move to the White
House."

FRIENDS TO LAUNCH
RICHIE CANDIDACY
Concord Club, at Baltimore,
Will Open Campaign
January 8.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, November 12.-The
| wide open secret" of Gov. Albert C..
Ritchies candidacy for the Democratic
presidential nomination is to be brought
into the open here January by one
of the largest political clubs in Mary
! land.
Oficials of the Concord Democratic
Club have announced plans to launch
formally the drive of Maryland's four
time Governor at its annual Jackson
day dinner, to which national leaders
of the party have been invited, both as
speakers and guests.
Announcement of the clubs plans was
followed by departure of Gov. Richie
for New York on the second speaking
trip in as many weeks. He was ac-
companied by Robert B. Ennis, presi-
the most powerful leaders Of the party
in the State.
Plans to Visit Smith.
One of the first engagements sched-
uled by the Governor was visit to
former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate of 1928,
in whose favor the Maryland executive
withdrew his candidacy at the 1928
convention. Tomorrow Gov. Richie and
Mr.. Ennis will be joined by Howard
Bruce, former Democratic national COM
mitteeman for Maryland.
Gov. Richie had three addresses
scheduled for New York. Tonight he
was scheduled to talk before the an
nual reunion of the United States War
Industries Board, Of which he was gen.
eral counsel. Tomorrow night at the
Links Club and Friday night at the
Academy of Political Science.
Returning to Maryland, the Governor
will go to Pittsburgh Sunday, where on
Monday he is to address the Interna-
tional BituminouS Coal Conference.
The jaunt followed one of last week
which took him into New York, Boston
and Providence.
On these trips Gov. Richie, with his
lieutenants, has been comforting with
party leaders. For the last several
months-ever since last Winter, in fact
hackers Of his candidacy have been
carrying on these conferences. seeking
to obtain pledged delegates to the DEM
ocratic National Convention.
Friends Spare No Effort.
The friends have made it known they
will spare no effort to have at least lC0
to $50 pledged delegates on the first
ballot, in desire TO raise the candidacy
out of the "favorite son" class.
Gov Richie has long been known
to have presidential aspirations, but al
ways has lodged a direct announce
ment. His invariable reply has been,
IT'S too early yet" But his friends
have gone right on working for the de-
sired votes in the convention.
In 1924 Gov Richie was mentioned
as possible candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination. In 1923 he held
Maryland'S 16 delegates and had many
others pledged before convention time.
Shortly before the convention was
called, however, Gov. Richie withdrew
from the race and in a public an
nouncement threw his support to Smith.

WRIT SOUGHT IN EFFORT
TO COLLECT FROM U. S
Railway Denies McCarl Has Right
to Apply Funds Due on Alleged
Debt to Government,

Controller General McCarl was named
defendant yesterday in an injunction
suit filed in District Supreme Court by
the Richmond, Fredericksburg g. Poto-
mac Railroad Co. to prevent him from
applying moneys due the company from
the United States for transporting mails
and other services to the partial pay
ment of an alleged indebtedness to the
Government found by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to be due from
the company for excess income taxes
for 1922 and 1928.
The company said the Government
owes ST. ,453.39, and that McCarl has
refused to approve vouchers for the
amount because the Interstate Com
merce Commission has ruled the COM
pany should pay excess income tax of
$222,319.35 for 1922 and $474, 1858 for
1928.
The company contends it did not
earn any excess income in either year,
and asserts McCarl is without authority
to offset the company's claim against
the alleged claim of the Government,
which It disputes.
