Accumulated Leave
May Yet Be Made Up

Indications that Federal en-
ployes who had accumulated but
not used IS days of annual leave
prior to July /, when the economy
bill forbidding annual leave dur
ing this fiscal year went into ef-
feet, may take such leave after
July l, 1888, were voiced today by
the Comptroller General.
No opinion was given concern
ing whether leave forfeited during
the latter half of this calendar
year and the first half of next
year under the economy bill may
be considered cumulative and en-
joyed later, but a later opinion
may hold that all the forfeited
leave may be made up after next
July.
A formal decision today ex-
empted from the furlough and
leave provisions of the economy
bill employees of the National Bank
Redemption Agency of the office
OF the Treasurer of the United
States, and also of the Redemp-
ton Division of the office of
the Comptroller of the Currency,
whose salaries are derived from
assessments against the National
and Federal Reserve bank.
Employees working under the
architect of the Capitol are bound
by the economy bill provisions,
said another decision.
Meanwhile the Interior Depart
ment announced today THAT it
would not adopt the five-day week
plan except for per diem workers
in the field.

With both teams relieved from
the tension of title contenders, the
Irish and Northwestern are expect
ed to fly at one another hammer
and tongs Saturday. Last year they
battled to a scoreless tie in the
swamp known as Soldier Field, Chi
,cago.
Although Northwestern has won
but one Of the twelve past games
with Notre Dame, and that by a
2-to-0 margin in 1902, their other
battles all have been too close for
the comfort of the Irish.
Still dissatisfied with the style in
which his team is working, Coach
Anderson made two lineup changes
again Monday. Captain Paul Host
will be back at varsity right end,
replacing Hugh Devore. Host spent
week with the shock troops, but
was one of the stars against Kansas
last Saturday.
Jack Robinson, 200-pound soph-
omore center, was advanced to the
varsity ahead of his two expert
enced rivals, Tom German and Ben
Alexander. Robinson also won his
spurs in the Kansas game with a
stirring defensive exhibition.
Anderson started today to perfect
pass defense, a department in
which the Irish we're weak against
Kansas. He expects Northwestern
to rely on the running and pass
ing of Pug Rentner and Ollie Olson

country. To be honest about it, we
think Pitt was lucky to beat Army.
Mind you, we're not trying to take
anything away from Pitt. The
Panthers are a ball club. Any team
with such gentlemen as Heller,
Skladany and Sebastian would have
to be.
The thing that made the Army
team was the coming of age of
Felix Vidal. At the beginning of
the season Vidal was the No. 2
quarter back. Today he is a ball
of fire. Vidal, along with Jack
Buckler, who runs like the jack
rabbits of his native state, Texas,
has more than made up for the
loss Of Ray Stecker.
And that Army line. BY the time
the Notre Dame game arrives it is
likely to be a line to end lines
smart and powerful. The standout
on this forward wall is Summerfelt,
the baby who picked up 21O-pound
Joe Crowley of Yale and slammed
him on his back with the remark.
This is the year of the depression,
Joe, and I'm not giving away an

Cruising in Sportland- With Eddie Ash

Ed Brandt, mainstay left handler with the
Boston Braves, is wanted by the Chicago
Cubs and it is said the Bruins have made
an elegant offer for him. The Cubs have
the money to talk big business and also
have several players to use in deals. The
Braves might listen to a cash and player
offer in order to swing another deal with
the Giants, it is rumored.
Nov just what will happen when
4 Y the st. Louis Cardinals and
Chicago Cubs clash next season?
RaJah Hornsby doubtless is saving
up a choice collection of razzberries
to toss into the Bruin dugout and on
the other hand some of the Bruins
will be ready to return the fire in
the conversation league. The series
between the two teams are expected
to supply a lot of fireworks, especial
ly if Hornsby regains his batting
eye and does some devastating with
the bludgeon. He probably knows
by now the names Of the ring lead
