FORMER SCRUB
BECOMES ACE

Jimmy Lee, whose grit alone
kept him on the freshman squad
when he>first took up lacrosse at
the University of Maryland, now
is the leading scorer of the 1881
varsity twelve with a dozen goals.
When Lee reported as year
ling he tipped the scales at less
than 125 pounds and looked frail,
but the way he crashed the
heavies in practice and in games,
caused Ed Smith, freshman coach,
to change his mind about cutting
Jimmie off the squad. Lee has
grown up" to 160 pounds and is
one of the best midfield attack
men Maryland ever has had.

Thousands of local wrestling
fans will wend their way into the
Clark Griffith Stadium tomorrow
night to attend the specially ar
ranged all-star card for the job
fund. All proceeds above $500
will be turned over to George j.
Adams, secretary of the District

money will be used to give part
time jobs to the needy.
The program that Promoter
Joe Turner has arranged is bound
to please local fans. Turner freely
predicts that the attendance will

this assertion is the fact that
there will be ample seating space
for all who wish to attend and
everyone will have a clear view

Prominent Grapplers
None can complain of the cali
Der of the grapplers scheduled to
appear. Dick Shikat, former

Shikat will be asked to place
his skill against the superior
strength of Sergio KalmikOff,
the bearded tuSSler. KalmikOff
Is unlike any other grappler in
in that he goes forth to meet
his opponent in the fashion of
. caveman.
Rudy Dusek, the Nebraska
Wildcat" will have to look after
his unbeaten local record when
he mixes with Jim McMillen, for
mer Illinois University football
star. Dusek has not lost bat
tie in a local ring while McMillen
was beaten only by Jim LondoS.
This promises to be long-drawn
out match.
Billy Bartush, who carries
wide appeal among the women
wrestling fans, will have a tough
battle on his hands with Floyd
Marshall, the big boy from Okla
homa. Tiny Roebuck, the heap
big Injun, faces one of his race
in Jim Clinkstock.
"Tigah" Nelson, hated here
worse than Rudy Dusek, meets
DR.. Ralph Wilson. The latter
will he a popular favOrite with
the fans and will strike back
with the venom of a poisonous
snake if Nelson gets mean.

Mr.. Cans pointed out that The

children of Washington the un-
slightly conditions which abound
in many localities.
Mr.. Cans said:
"The Washington Times has
taken a step which will really
impress the needleSSneSS of un-
slightly dumping places. This
brings to the attention of 49,
600 pupils the actual conditions
of the city, for of necessity
they will have to investigate
before they can write on the
topic. And the first time, per
hapS, they will become con-
sciOus of the unsightliness of
the trash and litter accumuIa-
tiOns in the various parts of our

ECONOMY PLAN
To Be APPLIED
To EVERYONE
Official Decision Not Yet Pro-
muIgated, But Word Goes
Out Not to Press Bills

Army and Navy pay increase
legislation at the next session of
Congress will come under the ban
which President Hoover has i'm
posed with respect to salary ad-
vances for the Federal personnel
during the coming fiscal year.
This was learned today from
an Administration official, who
declared there was no intention
ON the part of the White House
to discriminate in favor of the
military establishments of the
Government at the expense of the
civilian branches.
Instructions Sent Out
No official decision has yet been
promulgated by the Administra-
ton relative to Army and Navy
pay, but War and Navy Depart
ment officials already have been
advised that it will be poor
policy" to press their joint pay
bills at the next session of
Congress.
The Joint Congressional Com
mittee on service pay already is
making plans to hold pay legisla-
ton in allegiance in December, in
view of the impending Treasury
deficit and prevailing economic
conditions.
The services themselves are not
yet ready to admit that Presi-
dent Hoover'S ukase with respect
to civilian pay increases has af-
fected their own prospects Of
passing salary increase legisla-
ton, but their spokesmen in
Congress declare that their
chances of overriding the Presi-
Dental ban are slim.
Hopeful For Hearings
Army officers are hopeful,
however, that Congressional hear
ingS will be held next winter to
disclose to the public the "deplOr.
able pay situation" that exists in
the service at the present time.
In this way, it is held, the
groundwork will be laid for
proper legislation when the strain
upon the Treasury relaxes within
the next year or two.
The urgently needed promotion
legislation for the Army will be
pushed at the next session. Secre-
tary of War Hurley and Maj.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur; chief
Of staff, are the chief proponents
Of this measure, which was
caught in the jam in the closing
days of the last Congress. It
probably will have the solid sup
port of Administration leaders in
the next session.
