MATMEN To VIE
FORCOP FUND

John Richtoff, ex-Olympic
wrestling champion, sweeps into
another test here Thursday night.
On the card, arranged as a bene-
fit for the Christmas basket fund
being sponsored by the. Metro
politan Police force, Richtoff tan
giles to a finish with Floyd Mar
shall, self confessed "F'ranken-
stein" of the mat. They go 80
minutes.
In local appearances thus far,
Richtoff has easily emerged trium-
phant, strong-arming everything
offered him with Comparative
ease.
Marshall, a born aggressor,
should extend Richtoff more thor
oughly than anyone yet offered
him. Experienced and rough
with it, the so-called "Franken-
stein" will be prepared to advance
his best bid.
Resting on top of the show,
Frank JudSon wakes scientific

BENNY SEEKING
HIGH RANKING >

A ranking among the 10 best
bantamWeights in the world
awaits Benny Schwartz Tuesday
night at Portner'S Arena, where
the clever Baltimore Jewish boy
is taking a crack at Pete Sanstol,
great Norwegian fighter.
There will be no stopping Benny
If he whips SanStol. That he can
turn the trick is not improbable.
The way Benny has come to the
front in the last two months
argues well for his chances.
Sanstol comes here with a
great record behind him. Only
last summer he boxed the great
Panama AL Brown in a 15-round
title bout, losing on a close de-
cision. He holds verdicts over
Antol Kocis, Eugene Huat, French
bantamweight champ; Newsboy
Brown and Phil Tobias.
Cary Wright, sensational local
lightweight, was added to the
card today. Wright meets Johnny
Koles in the four-round main pre-
liminary. Another four rounder
brings together Buddy Spenner
and Eddie Compton. The latter
is out of Philadelphia.
Bob Lowry, another local
favorite, will also show Tuesday

man, spoke in his quiet way. He
said:
"Our schedule for 1894 will
probably be termed a preten-
tiOus one. We probably will play
seven major games, two against
major eastern teams, three
against major southern teams
and two against major western
teams"
Judge Hugh Tate, of the Ten
nessee Tates (Which is saying
something that every man, wo-
man and child in Tennessee
underStands), fairly sparkled with
gems of wit and humor as he
delivered a typical Tennessee ad-
dress.
George Washington University's
comeback in athletics must be re-
corded as remarkable. If the
significance of Wednesday nights
banquet and of the official words
spoken after dinner has been
properly interpreted, George Wash
ington U. will soon be a first
flight factor in the football world.

That jolly gentleman, Santa

For months, Girard has sold
faster than any other cigar in

drop from a dime to a nickel. But
there's no change in the smoking
enjoyment! Still cool, midland

Forrest Burgess, high scoring
forward, will be missing from the
George Washington ColontalS'

the fast travelling Duke Blue
Devils tonight at 1880 o'clock in
Tech High School gymnasium.
The starting time is one-half hour
earlier than usual for G. w.
games.
wild" Bill Noonan, Six-foot'
four string-bean. will most likely
start in Burgess position. Noonan
is a former Eastern High School
center and is a capable player.
There's also a possibility that
Wick Parrack, sensational forward
and leading District College point
obtainer last year, will not start.
Parrack is just getting over an
attack of flu and is still quite
weak. Jimmey Howell, blond
haired sophomore forward, whose
work has been outstanding In
recent practice session will prob
ably alternate with Parrack.
Not Up to Standard
The rest of the starting line
up remains intact, with Hertzler
at center and Captain "OttSD
Zahn and Wayne Chambers at
guards.
Burgess is ineligible for to-
nights contest because of South
ern Conference ruling. He is q
transferred student.
This is to be the last appearance
of the G. w. Giants until January
4 when North Carolina States
Red Terrors invade the Tech
High School gym.
However, the Colonials will not
let-up in practice. Sessions are
scheduled before the Christmas
holidays. According to Coach Pix

failed to attain the degree OF
smoothness and accuracy that
featured their victories last year.

BRITISH TARIFF
 HTS WOOL MEN


 Berlin = (UP)-Britain's tariff land currency policy has dealt ( heavy blow to the German wool industry.
 It has virtually deprived cerpaz producers and exporters of their best market-England-and haf made the English potential com petitorg in markets previously dominated by the Germans.
 Recent German trade statistics clearly depict the plight of the German wool industry. They show that, compared with 1881, German wool exports have declined by about 50 per cent. Exports to Eng land, which still averaged 2s per cent of the German 1881 total, have declined even more sharply. For the first trimester of 19S2 they amounted to only IT per cent, dropping to less than 1 per cent in April and May. The continuation of the drop during the last two months mentioned proves that the German wool industry failed to benefit by the reduction of the Brit ish ad valorem tariffs from 50 to 20 per cent.
 English competition, aided by the decline of the pound sterling has been felt most keenly by the German wool industry in the Dutch and Scandinavian markets. where German exports dropped by 20 to 30 per cent as compared with 1881.

TRIPLE ATTACK

Washington, Aug 13.-(UP)- The democratic publicity bureau cut loose today with a triple attack on President Hoover's acceptance speech.
 Chairman Farley Of the demo- cratic national committee called at tention to the presidents promised offensive for business recovery and said:
 "Is 1t too much to ask of con- didate for the presidency that he tells ns how he is going to make this widespread assault on eco homie calamity and why if there are any blue prints of such a battle plan they have not already been acted on?"
 "Then of course there is his pro- hibitlon idea of repeating the 18th amendment without repeating it and giving the states full authority over liquor while forever banish- Ing the saloon by federal law" Farley continued. "A good many people have sought q formula for this without very much succeaH. If the president has founnd this formula it Is still his own secret.
 A statement by Senator Fletcher, democrat, Fla, charged that the ad. n51nistratien during the first year and a half of the depression did Rthlng but assure tho "eountry ni. most daily thnt prosperity was around tho corner" Fietcher cited federnl reserve reports showing s.093 hank failures in 1929, iO3O. 1pai and the hiSt Ave months Of fD52.
