N MENAM|N
FEARED AS
PASSER

A real high. class football attrac'
ton will be offered in the South
Atlantic League tomorrow, when
the Mohawks play host to the
Northern eltics from Alexandria
Va, at Griffith Stadium. Hostili-
ties will get under way promptly
at 2:30 o'clock. 49,.
The game will have an 1mpor'
tant bearing on the champion
ship of the loop, as the teams are
tied for first place with two wins
and no losses.
Patsy Donovan, manager OF the
Mohawks, had this to say today:
"My boys are in excellent
condition for our most impOr-
tant game Of the year. Those
AlexandrianS are a tough foe
and we must play heads-up ball
throughout the contest in order
to come out on top. I think
we shall win, but not by much"
Not much has been said about
this Wells fellow of the Hawks,
who can throw a forward pass
like a bullet. This lad played
with George Washington Univer-
Sity last year and was considered
a great prospect, but he was de-
clared ineligible in the latter part
Of that year.
While playing with the fresh
man team, Billy Wells was recog-
niZed as a player full of ability.
His sweeping end runs, passes and
line smaShes we're the feature Of
the young Colonials' success.
Fouts To Be Watched
His pal, Leon Fouts. another
former George Washington lumi-
nary, Is a crack passer and kicker.
II can be remembered that FoUtS
on his initial appearance with the
Big Indians in the league electri-
fled the fans by running a kickoff
the length of the gridiron for a
touchdown.
Dick Allen, an Alexandria boy
who is playing in the backfield for
the Hawks, will be in there fight
ing every inch of the way. Aliens
broken field running will be
watched closely by the CelticS
who know his ability.
Les McMenamin, former Will
liam and Mary sta,wart, is Mana
ger Buck Grier'S ace in the hole.
McMenamin is the best kicker in
the league and is one of the best
paSsers. He can also do some
mean broken field galloping when
called on.
Price Midget End
Clint Price, star end for the
Irish, really deserves credit. He
weighs out 148 pounds but is play
ing unlimited football. Price has
to buck up against fellows weigh
ing anywhere from 1875 pounds
to 240. Despite his weight, Price,
is a real star.
Patsy Donovan will rely on
"Snitz" Snyder, Small" Delabre,
''Tuck" Dalglish, Leon Fouts and
Bill Wells for ground gaining.
He expects Coach Artie Won
drack to help the backs with his
brilliant blocking.

POLICE RADIO AIDS CHICAGO
 IN CRIME WAR
Year Old System Declared Outstanding Success
 By Officials

Chicago, CUP)-Chicago's police radio, now one-year-old, is declared an outstanding success by police de- partment and city officials.
 Ut is the most important im- provement made in the police de- partment during the last year, said acting Police Commissioner John H. Alcock in his annual re- port.
 E.. F. Mcdonald, Jr, who or ganized the technical committed which devised the police system, said:
 T think it is the most i'm portant improvement in the last 25 years. The. police have devel- oped an arm of the law as swift as the ggun and the automobile. Within the near future every city of more than 100000 will be equipped with radios, but so far Chicago is far in the lead"
 245 Police Flashes
 An average of 245 police flashes are received daily by the no squad cars comprising the police fleet, according to William P. Hilliard, radio supervisor who reported that during the last few months
  made as a direct result of the sys- tenn. In many instances, his re- ports show, squad car has only to be stopped in order to be at the spot where the radio reports a crime.
 Hilliard announced that within the near future the three stations north, south and west side, will be synchronized in order that one bulletin may be flashed simultane- ously from all three.
 Fireboats Equipped
 In addition to the police radio the three fire department fire boats were equipped with radios which keep them in touch con- stantly with the fire department through the police radio. Plans are being discussed for a separate fire department radio system.
 Captain John Anderson of the coast guard has asked Washington for permission to install radio equipment on life saving boats.
 The idea of police radio had its inception in March, 1929, over a local station, which halted its pro- grams to announce crime warn ings to the five first police cars which were radio equipped.

LAWYER GIVEN
 OLD SHEEPSKlN

New York, (UP)-Theodore Fred Kuper, 45, who has been a practic- ing attorney for 20 years, takes pride in his new diploma from the De Witt Clinton high school.
 Kuper has, among other things, made and lost a fortune in oil, and is head of the Jefferson Me- orial Foundation and the George Washington Foundation for Citi- zenship and Education. He is an authority on the life of Thomas Jefferson. During the war he was "vital executive." All in all he has done considerable bit of work in the last 20 years. "Didn't you attend De Witt Clinton high school as a boy?" he was asked by the principal of the high school one day.
 "I did," said Kuper. "When were you graduated?' 'T never was graduated" kuper smiled, and the principal looked shocked.
 "Then it's about time you were"
 And so Kuper, in company With several hundred youngsters about to start their careers, received his first and only high school di- ploma.
 q went to De Witt Clinton when it was in a terriblbe old building down on 18th street, Kuper said. "I had a lot of fun, but never did any work. One day I decided to go to the New York University Law school, and so I changed my course and came through in two years"

Author of "Carc of the Hands and Fate."
 Irkutsk-Several anxious readers win the Sharkey-Walke fight. Just as I expected!
 I like Sharkey. It has always been my plan to be original and unique, and I believe that in lik- ing Sharkey I am, as the poet would say, "lonely as a cloud" Of course there are all kinds of clouds. Have you ever stood at sum- set, when a mass of cumulus or cirr- hus clouds went scudding across the darkening sky? Life has other pleas ! ures besides making money! Sharkey, like your correspon- dent, is subject to spells of what my Aunt Hester used to call "blueness." " In a brown study of this sort. he becomes occasionally irrational. ! have heard men tell stories about the merry minstrels who used to go from town to town and stop occa- sionally at a farmhouse, and in- evitably these sagas would plunge Sharkey into tears. I do not like to see a man cry.
 Suppose it should be cloudy the night of the fight. Can you see Sharkey, his heart eaten by esotreic emotion, struggling to master him. self as the two gladiators come to the center of the ring?
 I wish I could! But there is go- ing to be a clambake that night, and l fear l must forego the fight Selah!
