MARVIN LEADS WAY
INTO OPEN GROUND
College Presidents Step In to
Make Short Shrift of
Charity Problem.
BY r. ID. THOMAS.

~ r. CLOYD HECK MARVIN.
president of George Wash
~ ington University, is being
hailed as something of a
foot ball Moses as a result of ar
rangements by which three Wash
ington institutions will wage COM
mon cause in the charity game
December II with the University
of Alabama.
Capital grid folk have about ex-
hauSted arguments born of failure to
bring together any two of the city's
elevens in a regular contest. but DR..
Marvin has delivered himself of one
fact that makes for a live topic
IT came as a pleasant surprise to
newspaper men the other day when
the Colonial chief observed casually
that the presidents of George Wash
ington, Georgetown and Catholic uni
versities ever so often got together in
friendly huddle and found it mutually
helpful.
The formal business was done through
the athletic departments, but there is
reason to believe the participation of
game was decided upon by three schol-
arly gentlemen to whom small differ
ences meant nothing when worthy
principle was involved-in this instance
very Christian one.
LOOT BALL is a minor subject with
l. most educators but for time here
it became one of importance, viewed
from several angles. And in the facil-
vNy1f w m q INT yo c
handled when three minds. unfettered
by petty prejudices, were focused on it
may be seen better things for foot ball
in Washington. Directors of athletics
have been set an example by their big
chiefs
AS Dr. Marvin put it speaking di-
rectly to athletic representatives of
George washington, Georgetown and
Catholic universities, after arrange
ments were completed for the three
ring foot ball circus of December IL,
1.-THE presidents of these schools get to-
gether and help each other. Why don't
you fellows?"
1t seems that all of the foot ball
coaches are getting around to it or
have adopted the view that games be-
tween local teams are not to be desired.
particularly as a regular thing. And
with this form of competition about
eliminated. the larger institutions are
bent upon bringing big-tire elevens
here as turnstile CHECKERS
If there is to be any competition, 1t
| will be of this nature, and none could
be healthier for the game itself. On
this the coaches agree unanimously,
and where cooperation might be in
valuable, as DR.. Marvin pointed out,
would be in the arrangement of sched-
ules to avoid conflicting dates wherever
possible.

paramour, Nine. Magda Lupescu
was revealed for the first time

According to informants, Carol
sent his mother, the Dowager

Then She Returned
Everything appeared to be set
tied when Nine. Lupescu, with
whom Carol lived for five years in
exile, returned suddenly TO Buch-
Arrest and overturned the apple

Nine. Lupescu, the information
declared, managed to persuade
Carol to remain single for the
present, whereupon the King sug-
geSted that his mother arrange a
union between Princess Marie and
his younger brother. Prince Nicho-
las.

return, but she went back to

and by furtive gang investigators
alike as an aftermath of the
double shooting of Crawford and
Herbert Spencer, Los Angeles

The documents, bearing upon
the bold bid of Crawford for con-
troll of a shadowy world he once
relinquished, we're believed to
have been one Of the reasons
why David H. Clark, brilliant
young deputy prosecutor and

Clark's friends said he was

danger unless he withdrew from

will be decided next June 2.

called to Crawford's office and
found Spencer there comforting
