gathering of 1000 fans.
The Capital City League win
nerS offered little opposition for
the Celtics. The big boys COM
pletely outplayed their rivals in
every angle of the game. Les
McMenniman, Don McCanH, Joe
Sweeney and Lee Hensely were
the backfield stars of the fray.
They gained ground almost at
will. Sampson and Whitestone
proved the stars on the defense.
Joe Perron's Palace gridmen

pionS of the South Atlantic by
virtue of their impressive victory
over a powerful Reisterstown
club, of Baltimore, Md. The

this year to a scoreless tie yester-
day at Alexandria, Va. The game
was for the 150-pound champion

quarter, only to lose it on downs.
Goals Victorious

The cause is evident: Victory

No one college or university in

None Exempt
None is wholly exempt from
the effects and consequences OF
direct or indirect efforts to sub

FOR TIED T|LTS

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-For the
third successive year the football
rules committee will consider the
point system of scoring to decide
winners in tied games at its an
nual meeting here December 80.
The system, which was used
in the round robin tournament
in the YaIe Bowl December S,
was originated by Robert B. Nor
ris, of Newark. N. j.
The rules board refused to
adopt the system at two previous
meetings, because it was claimed
that football was not ready for

HIS SGAME
By NAN O'REILLY

What is going to happen to the
big guns of golf with this new
heavy ball? Will the Hagens and
the Armours and the Sarazens
step into the spotlight again and
scare off the CreavyS and the
BurkeS and the Runyans?
1t is definite and well-estab-
lished fact that all the champions
and every dub in the land has
been playing the new ball for
months, and that undiluted JOY
has lowered over our fairways.
How will the acknowledged stars
fare this winter season and in the
coming year?
This is in no sense a prophecy,
nor is it necessary to say that an
Armour will do this or Won Elm
do that. Looking over the super
stars by and large, they will take
their turns at winning just as
they have in the past.
May Help Armour
One notable light of the ma
tional sport, the present British
champion, Tommy Armour, may
do. much better in 1882 with the
heavy ball, simply because he
couldn't fare much worse than
with the balloon. 1t must be re-
membered that the Scot played
the little rubber-core in England.
Tommy is, perhaps, the greatest
exponent of hitting the ball on
the downward stroke, and once
again America will witness his
superb iron play.
Horton Smith, now barred by a
broken wrist, threatened to begin
sinking everything in sight from
Is feet, and it could have been
another big Smith winter. Won
Elm, now a great putter, always
wonderful wood and iron golfer,
should be even better next year,
as he should be able to roll that
heavy ball into the cup NOR often.
Diegel to Benefit
Leo Diegel should once again
become the artist at this play,
because he can hook all his tee
shots and cut all his irons or
vice versa as his nervous tempera-
ment dictates. The penalty Of
this type of play with the light
ball was too great and Leo
battled a lost cause the past IL
months.
Hagen isn't likely to fare any
better unless the old putter goes
to work as in days gone by. for
there's a bit of keenness gone out
of the great Snowman.
AS for young Tom Creavy, the
P. G. A. champion, it will take
more than a change in golf balls
to determine his future status
among the stars.

McDevitt has strengthened a

Espey. District League ace, and
Harry High, up-and-coming young

will be picked from George Nor

through a shut-out. They chalked
up a new high team set mark,
1928, and new high team game,
624.
Hold Many Marks
Members of the team hold all
Individual marks but high aver

three members of this team are
holding the next three places in
high averages, Eddie Keith.
George Morrison and Hym1e
Schecter. Keith rolled high set
last week All. Morrison has
high strikes. The team averages
about $50. With Espey and High
in the lineup it is expected to
boost this quota to around 56O..
which is the average held by
their opponents.
The Hyattsville Juniors require
no introduction to bowling fans.
They have been toppling enemies
right and left for two years, and
recently turned back Bill Haskin's
crack Richmond Juniors by no
uncertain margin.
Bob Temple is the big gun OF
the outfit. This 17-year boy, still
in high school, and going through
his second year in the bowling
game, is the sensation of the sea-
son. He is averaging around 119
in three leagues, including the
District League.
Holland Spills Pins
Fiddles Holland is the second
best shooter on the team, and he,
too. has a reputation for spill1ng
huge bundles of naples at times
when they mean much. The rest
of the team is composed of Har-
wood Naylor, Len Smith, Dee
George and Pat HoltZ. Holtz is
one of the leading bowlers in the
Saturday Night League.
Due to a growing demand for
a head-to-head match between
Eddie Espey, young sensation OF
last year. and Bob Temple, this
years boy phenom, match be-
tween these two may supplement
the team match next Saturday.
Such a clash would attract wide
interest. Espey, U. S. Junior
Champion. is too old to defend
his title this year. Temple, only
II, is favored to succeed him.
This adds significance to the
meeting, and increases the de-

Poorhouse Blues

The Virgin Islanders are sore at
President Hoover because when he
visited them recently he wore flan-
mel trousers, blue serge coat and
straw hat.
The cream of European royalty
visited the islands before we phr-
chased them from Denmark, Virgin
Islanders declared, and they did not
dress "as though prepared for a buck
dance in the slums as President
Hoover did"
Mr.. Hoover also riled the Virgin
Islands by referring to them as a
"poorhouse" and saying he was sor-
ry the U. S. ever bought them.
Islanders retorted that they were
no poorhouse under Danish rule and
that U. S. prohibition ruined their
principal export-rum and bay rum.

the Virgin Islands had two COVER

Short" sound of an English letter;
this letter is considered a consonant
and is used only in the diphthongs
au and eu.
PRONUNCIATION
Each letter has one fixed sound,
which never varies under any cir
cumstances. A, e, i, o. are vowels
and are pronounced like the marked
vowels in the English words that fol-
low: as in father, as in there,
as in machine, as in note, u as in
flute.
u, with the diacritical mark has
the sound of the English W.. or short
sound of u like 90 in good 'Au'
sounds like the 'ou' in ENGLISH
house. 'Eu' is formed by speaking
the sound of e. in there quickly
followed by the 'u' in full.
The five accented letters, c. &, h
j and s, represent notifications of
the simple letters c, g. h j and 8.
C has the sound of CHI in chat, chin,
etc. G has the soft sound of e. as
in gem, gin, gentle. H is the Irish
and German 'ch' in loch, Buch. Those
who do not know the sound NAV
pronounce it as simple n. sounds
like the y in azure or the s. in
pleasure. S stands for the English
'sh'. Notice that the unaccented &C.
has the sound of the letters 'ts' in
wits, sits. Unaccented e. has the
hard sound of 'g' in get, go. never
the soft sound of e. in gem. R AUST
be clearly sounded ttrilled) as in the
words run, rich; it must not be
slurred over as in sir, fur. s, un-
accented, ALWAYS is the kissing sound
of s. in see, kiss; it never has the
~ sound of IS in rose. represents
the English " as in yoke. Before a
consonant or at the end of word it
combines with the preceding vowel
to form diphthong: All sounds like
al in aisle: 'ei like 'ei' in vein; 'oj'
like 'oi' in boil; 'ui' like 'ui' in ruin.
/, Au. eu. al, Ell, OF, III are the only
diphthongs in Esperanto. In all
other cases where two or more VOW
els come together, each is pro-
nounced separately and forms a dis
tinct syllable. For example: fairo
sounds like the English word fire
with 90 added (fy-ro, two svllables) !,
but foiro is pronounced fo-ee'-ro,
three svllables. In the same wav,
laudo is lou'-do t'ou' as in 'houseo
but traulo is trah-oo'-lo. The letters
b. d, f, h, k, |. m, n, p. t, V, 2 have
their ordinary English sounds. There
are no silent letters; each letter in a
word must be distinctly sounded.
Thus knne is pronounced koo' may,
subtle is soo-bee'-tay, ripeti is rec
pay'-tee, etc.
ACCUMULATION
The stress falls invariably on the
last syllable but one (penultimate)
voio. kantado, supervershi, interpa-
rolado, internacia are pronounced
vo'-yo, kahn-tah' doe, soo-pair-vair'
shee, een-tair-pah-ro-la doe. cen
air-naht-see'-ah, respectively.

There Must Be Sacrifice

DR.. Dubois in talking to the grad
yates of Howard University declared
that, "There must be sacrifice. ]
almost hesitate to mention this-so
much sentimental twaddle has been
written of it. When | say sacrifice
| mean sacrifice. mean a real and
definite surrender of personal ease
and satisfaction" -.
The learned scholar in choice Eng
fish told the gr, duates of the needs
of the people. He pointed out that
sacrifices must be made. The prob
lem confronting the Negro in Ameri-
ca and the world is tremendous. Its
solution requires work, intensive and
laborious. The thoughtful planning
and successful execution must be
done by those with trained minds. If
those who are trained do not perform
their job it will not be done.
1t is more difficult to find Ne
gro who will sacrifice for the eleva-
ton of his race than it is for a
camel to go through the eye of a
ncculc. we are noI JdlhlilS dDOul
loudmouth takers who proclaim from
the housetop of their sacrifices, we
mean those sincere souls who will
work untiringly for the principle of
absolute equality for the Negro,
those whose chief objective is not to
he the biggest Negro in America, but
to make a place in the economic and
political fields of this country for the
thousands who struggle under the
load of prejudice, segregation and
persecution.
If one or two of this years crop of
graduates will dedicate their lives to
such a purpose great viii be our ad-
vance. Unfortunately for the Amer
lean Negro he has become obsessed
with the selfishness of the American
white man. He wallows in the mire
of materialism with the hogs whose
chief sport is to steal, rob and cheat
those who are less fortunate.

Douglass National Bank

Last summer when the doors of
the Inflated Binga State Bank We're
closed in Chicago, the hue and cry
among colored people was that. their
own kith and kin could not do big
business. Lamentations were heard
on all sides, maledictions were
heaped upon the heads of colored
business men, and many voiced the
conclusions that they would never
invest in other concerns operated by
their own. Many were heard to be-
rate and decry their own insurance
companies because dividends had not
yet been paid on their stock and the
general concensus of opinion was
that the colored business men were
unable to function successfully.
Now in the face of the crashing of
banks. the trembling of finance, the
deflation of stocks and the default
ing of bonds the Douglass National
Bank, owned and operated by col
ored people. has withstood the runs,
met all rushes and at this moment,
stands safe and sound like a great,
strong oak that has survived the
ravages of the storm.
This lone colored bank stands
pays the nervous, panic-stricken de-
positors and stands calm and serene
as Babylonian confusion rules the
day.
This demonstrates hat the
colored people can do business. can
stand in the face of strife and that
there is great hope in the future
business development of these peo-
pie if they learn the lesson that is
so clear and obvious Out of this
miasma and maelstrom our insurance
companies have stood, most Of our
business has maintained and this lone
bank stands prophetically and hero
ically in the wilderness.
1t is believed that a stronger sense
of cooperation between white and
colored business men has been in
stilled and inculcated and it is fur
ther believed that a stronger faith in
colored business has been engend-
cred The stand of the Douglass
National is a red letter day in the
history of colored business.
