BANK BANDIT

HARRISBURG, Va. Dec. 3.
The Spartan defiance of q o.
year-old bank robber was broken
by police here yesterday, but not
until the youth had slashed both
his thumbs in an effort to de-
stroy his natural fingerprints.
Since his arrest last week Giles
Hutchinson had resisted efforts
to make him confess he. robbed
the Pembroke Bank of 500 and
a shotgun.
When detectives showed him
copies of finger marks left on the
bank vault. he lacerated his
thumbs. Police said they matched
the fingerprints with other digits
and he confessed.

HAUL INJURIES
COAL MEN
State Operators Forced to
Compete With Distant Fields,
Asserts Rep. Lewis

Legislation to bring about
changes of freight rates that
would provide less expensive
market for bituminOus coal
from Maryland will be sought
in Congress this year by Rep
resentative David J, Lewis
(D.) of Maryland.
Under the present system Of
freight charges for long and
short hauls operators a short dis
lance from markets are forced
to pay as much as those at greater
distances. Thus Maryland miners
have strenuous competition from
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Lewis will seek to have the
rates changed to benefit the
miners of Maryland.
Maryland mines of 5000, OOO,-
OO0-ton total capacity are operat-
ing only one-third of the time
they were in operation ten years
ago.
The decline in their operation,
Lewis declares affects the lumber
men. in Maryland who supply the
mines with timber and cuts off
their only source of revenue.

with a view to finding solution
to the existing conditions also
is urged hy Lewis.

Never Can Tell

Perhaps it would, but we are
beginning to believe nobody can
tell about sports for charity's
sake in view of the fact that
fewer patrons showed at the
Washington Auditorium last
Thursday for such a purpose
than ordinarily attend the
weekly indoor shows.
Although it is not of record
that the unemployment COM
mittee has invited Catholic Uni
versity to play Georgetown, or
vice versa, it is known to habit
ual observers Of intercollegiate
evasiveness that such a game
is as impossible of arranging as
was the Georgetown-Maryland
game.
It is also equally obvious that
George Washington and Cath
Ollie University are not suitable
opponents in view of a sur
reptitious cancellation of their
annual game, within the past
IL months on the part of George
Washington.
Yet. all three. Georgetown,
Catholic University and George
Washington have, through
proper authorities, said they
will play a game for charity.
When, may one inquire, are
they going to play such a game,
and who are they going to play?

Not Much Time Left

The time is only about a month
off now when such a game
should come to a head and
three weeks at least should be
permitted for publicity, ticket
sale and other preliminaries to
the kind of spectacle this
town should support for the
idle.
If this proposed charity game
goes by the boards, only the
colleges, which each fall ask
those Washingtonians who have
football money to spend to pa
tronize their games. will be to
blame. Even a college has not
the right to hide behind cozi-
ness and caginess when warmth
and sustenance for a consider
able number of unfortunates is
at stake.
Their attitude to date, in
failing to get together on a
game for mankind, is to let
George do it." no pun in
tended. Their duty does not
end by saying I'VE will play
so and so, but we won't play
such and such" Their duty
ends only with the playing of
a game and so far as surface
indications are concerned, all
hands are sitting tight and
waiting for the other to move.
For shame!

Having registered over the
North Carolina State and
Duquesne elevens of Clipper
Smith and Elmer Layden respec-
lively during the past two weeks,
Bergman's Cardinals Saturday
are to play host to John Laws
Manhattan College gridironers at
Brookland, 2:30 o'clock.
The 'Jaspers.' who last year
defeated C. U. 7 to 6, this
season are boasting the
greatest eleven in their history.
Law, one of the late Knute
Rockne's finest products, natur-
ally has installed Notre Dame
fundamentals into his play.
Consequently another exhibition
of virtual civil warfare may be
expected when the opening
whistle sounds.
Alternating QuarterbaGks
Alternating quarterbacks may
be called upon to stop Manhattan
when the kickoff is launched.
Due to the loss of Johnny Oliver,
whose fractured left ankle in the
DuqueSne game finished him for
the season, Bergman has about
decided to fit both Charley Nc
Vean and Fred Guarnieri into flu
ture plans.
While McVean, in a sense, is
to be considered the starting
signal caller, Guarnieri will be
hurried into the lineup when
forward passing is essential.
The big sophomore, next to
Oliver, Is the most accurate long
distance tosser on the team and
will be groomed carefully for his
eleven's remaining 1881 contests.
Well aware of the formidability
of Saturdays impending test, the
Cardinals are to bear down to in
tensive work starting tolnorrow.
Scrimmaging and defensive work
is to stand out on a busy prepara-
tory program prior to the home
coming.

cheers for Oregon-dear old

Those big apple knockers from
little Eugene, where the old mill
race capers along the campus,
just whacked up our New York
University city slickers and while
we knew eastern football was
struggling along we didn't think
for one minute those Violets

The score was IA to 6 in case
you had died and did not hear
about it.
And the air hereabouts was as

1t seems the New YorkerS lost

could not get started.
But most of all it appears the
Vlolets were outplayed. The low
charging, we'll drilled team from
the Woolly West simply swept
the Vlolets right back in the
CID greenhouse and the web-feet
backfield went down the field
like an Oregon pine on the sids.
Not Secuted
New York University SUD-
porterS today claimed the
visitors had not been secuted and
the Violets had no idea what
their plays were like.
Another story was that DIR.
Clarence Spears, the Oregon
coach, worked out a new set of
plays while bringing his bows
here from North Dakota, where
they had suffered a scOreless
tie.
1t was related that the good
doctor worked out some new shift
lnto-box formations with the line
and end the objects of attack.
Then when the Oregon laddies
got here last Monday they worked
out at night and no one could
scout their plays.
But the Violets had no excuses.
They made their sole touchdown
as the result Of a series of penal.
ties and they were baffled all aft.
