NAVY, OLD LINERS
To RESUME DUELS
IN GRID CONTEST
Game on October 10 Promises
to Match Thriller Of
Last Season
Hot Battles Characteristic Of
MILDLY Maryland Meetings

COLLEGE PARK, MD.-Although
the Naval Academy and University Of
Maryland football teams both will. see
action before their big game in Grit
fifth Stadium in Washington ON Oc-
tober 10, it is this contest that they
have mainly in mind at present and
for which they are training their guns.
Last Fall the Midshipmen and Old
Liners provided one of the classic
struggles of the season in this section
Of the country before all the people
that could be packed into Farragut
promises to be a replica of that Cruel
ling battle and doubtless will attract
all the grid fans that Griffith Stadium
can hold.
Navy won last seasons heated and
stirring game, to 0, on touchdown
scored by Louis kim, fleet halfback,
who dashed almost the length of the
field in the first few minutes Of the
contest. Maryland had its chances to
turn the tide later in the fray, knock
ing at the touchdown door no less
than four times.
In fact, the game between Navy and
Maryland will be a continuation of a
series o. hard battles that have taken
place in the last several seasons, al
though, ii will be only the second grid
meeting under modern conditions.
During the 193O-31 term of school of
the two institutions, Navy in addition
to the football game, won a basket
ball duel and track meet from Mary
land, while the Old Liners retaliated
in great measure by scoring in base
ball and lacrosse. The lacrosse game
drew the largest crowd to see q
contest in that pastime during the
1890 season. The basket ball tilt also
packed Dalghren Hall at Annapolis.
Both the Navy and Maryland elevens
should be on par, if not better, than
the ones that battled so closely last
Fall and the contest has taken the top
place among all those to be staged in
1881 in the South Atlantic Area.
Applications for tickets are being
received both at the Naval Academy
and Maryland athletic offices so that
the alumni and regular followers of
the two schools may nave a chance to
get choice seats. However, all tickets
not applied for within the next few
days will Re placed on public sale.

FROM WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA, TO PARKERSBURG,
WEST VIRGINIA, ON THE NORTHWESTERN TURNPIKE

There is a large rayon plant of the
Viscose Company, employing $500 at
present. A new unit under construc-
ton will double the capacity and num-
Der of employees.
Parkersburg is the largest producer
of oil well supplies, rigs, reels, tanks,
drilling and finishing tools in the Uni
ted States. Oil drilling, refining and
shipping, with its associated lines,
representing in all an investment of
$500, 100000, form the backbone of the
city's industrial life.
Parkersburg is said to be the best
paved city in West Virginia, and it
has model high school with 27-acre
campus and concrete stadium. This
is the largest high school in the state;
it houses 5000 students.
The chief point of historical interest
in or near Parkersburg is Blenner-
hasset Island. This is small island
in the Ohio, containing two or three
small farms.
Herman Blennerhasset, a wealthy
and educated man from England and
ireland, settled on the island in 1898
and commenced the erection of lux
urious mansion, in which he later en-
tertained many prominent and cul-
tured people.
One of these guests in 1905 was
Aaron. Burr. Burr induced Blenner-
hasset to join him in scheme for es-
tablishing a colony in the far south,
this colony to become later separate
country annexing part of Mexico, and
perhaps some of the territory belong
ing to the United States. At least,
that is what Burr's accusers said.
Burr claimed that he had in mind
simply scheme to acquire riches and
prestige by acquiring lands in the far
south and selling them to settlers. At
any rate, Blennerhasset invested
large sum of money in Burr's under
taking.
Burr and Blennerhasset were ac-
cused of plotting against the United
States Government and they were
obliged to flee. They were later ar
rested. Burr was tried in Richmond
for treason, but acquitted. John Mar
shall presided at the trial. Blenner-
hasset was never tried, but the affair
ruined him. Virginia troops seized
the island before Burr's arrest, turned
out Mrs. Blennerhasset and her chill
dren, and greatly damaged the man.
sion. 1t was afterwards taken over
by Blennerhasset's creditors, used
for a time as storehouse, and later
burned by accident.
The whole affair reflects little cred
it on some of those in political power
at that time, and this is particularly
true of Thomas jefferson, who was
President of the United States at the
time of Burr's trial and who did many
things in connection with it that
Virginia gentleman is not supposed
to do. If you want the real story of
Burr and Blennerhasset, read Albert
Beverages Life of John Marshall.
When you get to Parkersburg, you
can, if you want to, go right on to the
Pacific coast on U. S. so, which is the
modern name for the Northwestern
Turnpike. But for the purpose of our
present story U. S. so ends at the
Ohio River, just as did the North
western Turnpike when it was built
about 100 years ago.
