HOLIDAY BRINGS
BSTOMANY

The holiday rush at the Wash

companies of the District has
meant work and Christmas cheer
for hundreds of unemployed men.
At the postoffice 1900 addi-
tional men have been given work
and from so to go men daily at
the express offices.
According to w. H. Haycock,
assistant postmaster for the Dis
trict, the parcel post is a trifle
lighter than last year, but the
mail is increasing in volume
daily.
The express. company has
found the volume somewhat light
er, according to C. w. Turner,
express agent of the American
Express Company, but it is suf-
ficiently heavy to necessitate
force working all night. The
company has IS trucks busy from
8 o'clock in the morning until
night.
Weather conditions, according
to Mr.. Turner, have, made sub
urban deliveries difficult, but the
company expects to have every
package delivered by Christmas
Eve.
Said Mr.. Turner:
Every package that isn't de-
livered in time to be opened
Christmas morning means dis
appointment for some one. We
are knee deep in work, but we
expect to get them out on
time"

~ Well-informed followers Of Yale
athletics were almost unanimous
today in the belief Yale would appoint
one of her own former gridiron war
riors to the post as head foot ball
coach vacated by DR.. Marvin A. Stevens.
Reginald D. Root, freshman coach
and former Eli tackle, was most promi-

the next head coach.
Root has been a member of the
coaching staff under Stevens for the
last two years. In addition, the 29-
year-old former line players coaching
experience includes work at the Univer-
sity of Mexico and at Roxbury School
and Taft School. He played tackle at
Yale in 1924 and 1925.
His appointment, moreover. would
conform to the new administrative pro-
posals of placing coaching in the hands
of faculty members inasmuch as he
is an instructor in the economy depart

as assistant coach under Jones before

The second was that the Far West

beat st. Mary's and Florida nailed U. c.

The third point was that foot ball
