time getting away from the ball
park after the game.
Everything was set for the dir
ty work. Mike was to break away
from the players bench and
sneak into Jones' locker. snatch
his trousers, sew up the cuffs and
hang the trousers up again as if
nothing had happened.
Carried Out Plans
He carried out his part of the
plan completely. The players
part of it was to rush in a ring
around Jones after he had found
out his predicament and howl
their heads off-watch his reac-
tionS on finding the joke on him,
ask him if he thought he'd be on
time for the particular function,
what was wrong, who did it and
similar remarks.
The prank was a success. Jones
rushed down to the dressing
rooms after the game, ready and
rarin' to go. He got all dressed
with the exception of his trousers.
And then when he put them on
he almost fell to the floor trying
to work his feet through.
The loudeSt and longest laugh
of the day came from Mike Mar
tin. He gained much satisfaction
in putting one over on Jones. who
is the bane Of the grand old gen.
tleman'S existence most of the
time.
It might be added, Jones was
late to the function. So was his
wife. who waited patiently for her
| husband in front Of Griff's office.

Impetus for Sport
Assuming that George Wash
ington and Catholic University
are as willing as Georgetown to
rationalize, the District Of Colum'
bia most certainly would gain
tremendously in the matter OF
attractive football games.
1t is not beyond the bounds OF
reason to suggest that the entire
South Atlantic section will bene'
fit to an almost equal degree with
District of Columbia if South
Atlantic rivalries are resumed.
Sentiment is most favorable to
any action intended to bring Vir'
giYiia and Georgetown together
for a resumption of their histori-
cal and natural rivalry.
Georgetown authorities unhesi'
tatingly answer in the affirma-
tive when asked if the Hilltop
pers favor a resumption Of rela'
tions with the Cavaliers.

Maybe it's the long face which
he carries around with him all
the time. Jones does give the
impression that he's very sad
by a lost last friend" expression
on his face.
Underneath, however, Sad
Sam" is the most comical indi-
vidual imaginable. He is always
the instigator Of pranks on his
teammates, the leader in all
''razz'' sessions, and the story
teller of all jokes.
Also Jones can take joke. A
prank was played on him one day
by his teammates which resulted
in a laugh on Jones for the first
time in many a moon.
Had Important Function
One afternoon while the Griffs
were playing the Indians at Grit
fifth Stadium, it was known that
Jones and his wife had an inn
portant function to attend that
evening.
Jones, from the time he report
ed to the park to the final in
ming of the game, let everybody
know that "he and his wife were
going to step out tonight"
This was enough to give all of
the players their cue. They saw
an excellent chance to play a
prank on Jones.

The Washington times., 1931-12-30

Probably one of the bestknown
and widely discussed historical
and natural football rivalries was
the one involving University of
Virginia and Georgetown Univer.
Sity.
Another well-known historical
and natural football rivalry is
the one involving Virginia and
Washington and Lee. This
rivalry is the only one in the
South Atlantic as old as the
Virginia Georgetown bond.
Friendly Rivalry Grew
From 1889 until 1913,- the Vir.
ginia- Georgetown friendly rivalry
bloSSomed and bloomed as one of
the greatest football events in
America.
Even today, 18 years after
the Virginia Georgetown disagree
ment. thousands of persons insist
that if football is to serve its
real purpose in this section of
the United States, Virginia and
Georgetown must Straighten out
their difficulties and resume re-
lationS.
Tom Thorp, noted football
critic and best known of all
football officials, writes:
Zone single event can change
the whole complexion of South
Atlantic football. That event
can change what really is un.
successful football into highly
successful football.
THE event I have in mind
is the Virginia Georgetown
game. If those two ancient
foes of the gridirOn will take
the lead by scheduling a foot
ball game, the rest of the
area will come down to earth
and play natural rivals"
Most men of mature judgment
are quick to admit that resump-
tion of football relations between
Virginia and Georgetown will
have a most favorable influence
on the movement to rationalize
football.
There appears to be no insur-
mountable obstacle in the way of
a Virginia Georgetown football
game.
Alumni Favor Game
Georgetown men all over the
country. who never did under
stand the Virginia Georgetown
brea. IN 1918, are asking:
"Why can't Georgetown play
Virginia and our old friends of
the South Atlantic, instead Of
the teams which are annually
scheduled by Georgetown?
Hundreds of Virginia alumni
have stated to this writer that
they favor a resumption of foot
ball relations with Georgetown.
Most of these Virginia alumni are
men who have been out of college
Is to 25 Yeas. The emotionalism
of youth h. been replaced by the
conse-- til 1 of maturity.
Resumption of athletic relations
between Georgetown and Virginia
would mean a return to the Dis
trict of Columbia of no less than
five other natural rivalries: %

Old Fiddlers Get Big
Break, Win Over
SyncOpatOrS

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Nov. 10.
The old Arkansas fiddler has
waited a long time for his day
to return, but in the Ozarks
they say he is the winner over
the syncopating boys and their
slip horns.
q From many villages in the
Ozarks come reports that the
square dances of 30 and 40
years ago have come ,ack. The
younger folk who run out from
the larger cities to spend their
week-ends are responsible, say
the fiddlers.
They have discovered the
pleasures of the quadrille and
slower forms of the dance. The
caller" is a new character to
most of them and the phrases
which provoked much Sashay-
ing many years ago are as
potent as ever.
The old fiddlers have come
back because the modern
rhythm boys, with their cut
time and unfinished musical
nuances which an old fiddler
says reminds him of a coon at
the end a limb, couldn't get the
swing.

IS NAMED
JONES LAWYER

BALTIMORE, Nov. 10. - With
Bernard AIDES formally recognized
as counsel for Orphan Jones, con-
fessed slayer of four at Snow Hill,
Md, and with Lees trial post
poned until next week, tension in
the proceedings eased up consid
erably today.
Judge Eli Frank, of the Balti-
more Supreme Court, sitting yes
terday in a habeas corpus pro
ceedings brought by AIDES, heard
Jones, also known as Yuel Lee,
plead that he wanted AIDES for his
lawyer, and the court so ruled.
E. Leonard WALES, Salisbury
attorney appointed by the Dor
chester county court to defend
Jones, announced, after recogni-
ton of AIDES, that he would with.
draw from the case.
= Plans had been made to trans
port Jones to Dorchester county
guarded BY. State militia and IS
State policemen. However, word
came from Cambridge that the
trial had been postponed because
two arson cases and two other
murder cases preceded it.
Jones will remain in Baltimore
temporarily, while AIDES tries to
secure a change of venue to Balti-
more, claiming he cannot get a
fair trial on the Eastern Shore.
The case was previously changed
from Worchester to Dorchester
county.

D. {. FETE UNIT
PLANS SURVEY

Housing, parking and guiding
problems connected with the OBJ
servance Of Washington's birth in
1882 will be studied at meet
ing of the District Bicentennial
Commission next Monday.
Although definite plans for
meeting the needs of the hun
dreds of thousands of visitors
certain to come to the National
Capital next year will not be
adopted until the commissioners
have passed on them, it is prob
able that several surveys will be
inaugurated very soon.
The housing survey will in
clude the listing of all the &C.
commodations offered by every
hotel, rooming and lodging house,
and probably restaurants, of the
city. These will doubtless have
to meet standards specified by
the commission if they are to
be included on the recommended
lists.
To meet the parking problem
it is possible that owners of
vacant property in the District
will be requested to list all lots
available for this purpose.
While the commission doubt
less will delegate the actual direc-
ton of rooming and parking to
others, it is also probable that
it will retain supervision of them
SO far as they are connected
with the Bicentennial activities,
according to DR.. George Haven
ner, executive vice chairman.
