NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-With the
1881 football season approaching its
close and "breather" games thing
of the past, today's national foot
ball schedule calls for dozens of top
flight games.
Selecting the outstanding head
line attraction of the day presents
no difficulty with the unbeaten and
united Georgia and Tulane teams
clashing down Athens way. This
affair is likely to prove one of the
big moments of the 1881 season.
The south also provides the No. 2
game of the day with Tennessee, an
other team boasting a perfect rec
ord, meeting a crack Vanderbilt ag-

That strange jinx which has pur-

Tech has lost more l to point

Injuries have hampered them

them again Friday.

East Shines for Tech

Washington had by far the best
balanced attack, with several of the
Continentals showing marked ability
at advancing the pigskin. Some of
these gains were offset, however, by
fifteen-yard penalties for unneces-
sary roughness.
East, Techs sensational half
back, by far was the individual hero
Of the game. He ran sixty yards
for the first Tech touchdown and
was a scoring threat every time he
grabbed the oval. He also played
a big part in the second marker,
taking thirty-fve- yard pass from
Pardue and then tossing one for
thirty yards to the 5-yard stripe to
Kruegger. Pardue plunged over for
the touchdown and also added the
extra point.
Cherry took down Washington
laurels, although Hedge and East
wood also turned in stellar per-
formances. Tech held the edge in
the first quarter punting duel.
Cherry Scores Marker
Washington tailed first, scoring
their touchdown after march down
the field which was aided by two
big Tech penalties. Cherry plunged
the final yard with just two seconds
of play, and added the extra point
on another plunge after time had
expired.
Late in the fourth period, with
Tech leading 10 to 7, Cherry and
Howard led another Continental
drive down the field, with Howard
crashing over. Cherry twisted and
squirmed until he got over for the
extra point.

Deficiencies in medical knowledge and
still greater deficiencies in the appli-
cation of what is known, as shown by
intensive Investigations of approximate
ly $50 prominent physicians and health
workers over the past year, were out
lined at the final meeting yesterday of
the medical service section of the White

The final meeting, presided over by
Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary CT the
Interior, received a message from Dean
E. p. Lyon of the University of Min
neSota suggesting that another national
conference be called to consider the

in favor of environment by the present
conference.
"One has but to envisage," Dean
Lyon wrote, "a conference on farm
stock, as contrasted with human stock
to see how great a part heredity would
play in the discussions and researches.
We believe the knowledge of heredity
already existing opens great possibilities
OF race improvement. quite as important
in the opinion of many authorities as
envircnmental factors. We are moved
by the contrast between the large ex-
penditure of public funds, foundation
endowmentS and private gifts extended
on the environmental side and the COM
parative neglect of the practical aspects
of heredity as applied to man"
Many Mothers Die in U. s.
The United States lags behind the
civilized world in prevention of child
birth mortality, it was reported to- the
conference by a committee headed by
DR.. Fred Lyman Adair of the University
Of Chicago, with $4,000 deaths of
mothers each year. This, he said, I'M
doubtedly contributes to the dependency
or delinquency of children deprived of
their mothers from birth. This COM
mittee stressed the need of better train
ing in obstetrics in all parts of the
country. In those localities where the
population is too sparse to support a
trained physician with fees, it was
recommended that trained medical men
be maintained by subsidies.

country, it was reported by DR.. Philip

are in almost every case below the
minimum standards.
