Scratching Heads
Washingtonians are struggling
with the task of picking winners
among the following, so I'll try
my hand, too.
/. Ohio State VS.. Northwestern.
Some feel that the Buckeyes are
overrated. I do not know that
they are, but a team that can
hold Stanford scoreless probably.
will hold o. S. U. scoreless. I
take Northwestern.
2. North Carolina State VS..
Davidson. Who could pick one
like this? I'll take N. c. State
on the strength of Fullback Rex,
although I am worried about
N. C. States tackles.

one. However, we all must try
to pick winners, so here goes:
C. U. to defeat Wake Forest:
Duquesne to win over Westmin-
ster, easily; Creighton to defeat

Haskell; Loyola IN. o. to defeat
st. Louis; st. Mary's to trounce
Nevada! Salem to win, easily,
from Shepherd; Omaha to take
a verdict over WaShburn. These
are Friday games.
In Saturdays contests I choose
the following: William and Mary
to defeat Georgetown because Of
Hoya injuries; Western Maryland
to win over Maryland; st. Johns
to defeat American; Upsala to
trounce Gallaudet; B. C. over
Boston University; Bucknell over
Temple; Carnegie Tech over w.

chance here for an upset; Col
gate to defeat Lafayette; Colum-
bia to take Penn State; Ford.
ham to win over Alabama; Holy
Cross to score over Brown; Mt.
st. Mary's to win over Loyola:
Penn to trip Navy; Princeton to
score over Washington and Lee.

Michigan, of course, to defeat
Chicago. Kansas to exc out a
win over Kansas State. Minne-
sofa to finally trip Iowa. Me-
braska to just about win over
Oklahoma. Purdue to defeat Wis
consin, although this is another
spot for an upset.
Georgia to defeat N. Y. u, at
Athens, Ga. Kentucky to up and
trip Duke. Louisiana to lick
Vandy. Mississippi State to win
over Southwestern. Mississippi to
defeat Clemson. Tulane to score
over crippled Auburn. Georgia

A $1,000 Funeral

THE WILL of Mrs. Marie

Bishop George Clinton, of the
A.M.E. Zion Church, who died
some time ago at Tuskegee, Ala.
disposed of $4,000 in cash.
Mrs. Clinton directed that her
funeral expenses should not ex-
coed $1,000. To her three sis
tiers and stepson she left $3.50
each.
A $1,000 funeral is no small
business. 1t includes a metal
casket, tombstone, flowers, lin
cuisines and all the trimmings.
Considering the cost and the
sum left to relatives, 1t is fair
to assume that Mrs. Clinton
thought as much of her own flu
neral as she did of her four sur
viving relations.

RACKETEERS KEEP
KID CHOCOLATE
OUTSIDE Of j. 5.

NEW YORK-The continued
absence of Kid Chocolate. feath-
erweight boxing champion, from
the United States, where he was
in constant demand and very
popular, was accounted for this
week when his manager Louis
Guittierez broke his silence.
Guittierez reported that fear of
reprisal from alleged gangsters
who were not paid in full after
demanding a heavy "cut" in Kid
Chocolates earnings had led him
to turn to Europe for future
ring engagements.
Made Threats
1t was disclosed that two years
ago the unwelcome partners de-
clared themselves in on the fea-
therweight title, but they were
not paid anything until recently,
when strong threats were made.
Gutierrez said that he turned ov-
er most of the demand for 25
per cent of Chocolates fight mo-
ney. but was unable to give the
full amount. The balance was
to come from his charges next
fight.
Although Gutierrez announced
plans to go abroad. Chocolate is
under contract to fight for Ma
olson Square Garden in New
York and cannot fight anywhere
without the corporation consent
