PREDICTS GRID
TOLL Of 80
By TOM THORP

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 u.N.SD.
"At least so football players will
be killed this fall on American
gridirOnS, and there is no way to
stop it,
That starting statement was
made today before gathering Of
500 representatives of the Eastern
intercollegiate Football Associa-
ton by Marvin A. Stevens, for
merly head football coach at Yale
and now coach of the Eli fresh
man team.
Stevens amazing prediction car
ried behind it the weight of many
years experience and was backed
with figures. 1t struck home like
a thunderbolt and shocked even
griZZled, veteran coaches who have
devoted most of their lives to foot
ball.
In the course of his address on
the prevention of Football In
juries," Stevens said there was no
way to prevent the fatalities, but
that the number Of injuries could
be reduced by proper training and
medical attention on the field.
Herbert c"FritZ") Crisler, head
football coach at Princeton, Of
fered new explanation Of the
increasing number of football
casualties. He said the youngsters
of today were softer" than the
boys of the '9O's and could not
withstand the hard bumps and
fatigue, as we'll. He attributed
this to "the motor age," saying
that whereas the boys of 80 or 40
years ago used to walk or run
miles every day in the open air,
they are now content to loll back
on the cushions of an automobile.
The Washington times., 1933-09-09

That remains to be seen. 1t ap-
pears on paper that Charlie (By
Golly) Guyon's Eastern High
School eleven will be stronger as
practically the same players who
starred last year will be back in
the fold. However, Charlie does
lose a capable performer in Ed
Benjamin all-high end.
Guyon says:
'I'm more than sorry that
I've lost Benjamin but I'll still
have a strong team with Joe
Keegin, Carl and Joe Mills, and
Tommy Nolan back"
Keegin is triple threat man
while Joe Mills is brainy and
plunging back. Nolan can play
both end and back with precision.
Eastern Works Out
Eastern High has been practlc-
ing more than a week at Eastern
Stadium under the watchful eyes
of Guyon and Artie Wondrack.
In the drills the boys display
preseason form, especially Nolan,
who has been Snatching the oval
out of the air as if it was a base
ball. Keegin got off several long
punts while Joe Mills heaves
were well-nigh perfect.
With such spirit and form all
indications point to another sue
cessful season for the Blue and
White aggregation. Last year
Eastern finished second and many
fans thought if the Guyon coached

the start of the season 1t would
have won the championship
which Tech grabbed after torrld

the Washington Griffmen for the
past II years. and has thrilled
countless thousands in that time
by his excellent play at third base.
Being a 40 year man." it is
very fitting that he should be
handed day" in his honor, and
if you don't think the idea has
taken the city by storm, you
should just take look at all the
people who have sent in their con-
tributions to the gift fund which
OSsie will receive.
Many real baseball addicts have
often said they'd rather see the
teams in their early practice ses-
sions than in the actual games.
Well, sir, all the early arrivals got
their wish today, as the Yanni-
gans were on the field at noon,
hitting. fielding, throwing and
what-have-you, and they opened
the path for the pre-game prac.
tice for the regulars.
Never since Walter johnson,
former manager and star pitcher
OF the Griffmen, was h0nored sew
eral years ago, has a washington
performer been bestowed such an
ovation as Ossie Bluege is to get
today.
The program, which has had
many hours of careful thought
put on it, promises to go down
in Washington baseball history
as one of the most pretentious
run off here. at least one of the
most interesting.
; Many Contributions
Virtually thousands have sent
in their contributions for Bluege's
present since the drive started
about three weeks ago, and they
have been received from persons
from all walks of life, including
lawyers, doctors, railroad men,
high school boys, small store
owners, company executives, in
surance statesmen, taxi drivers, po-
licemen, and many others.
This, therefore, proves conclu-
sively how popular Ossie is with
Washington fans and how the
veterans play at third base has
been rated all these years, or since
1922, when he first joined the
Griffmen.

Inspiring Leadership

All the Ossie Bluege Day
needed was leadership.
It got it through James A.
Farley, the man who put a
President in the White House.
Postmaster William M.
Mooney, as vice chairman of
the Bluege Day committee, add
ed the local inspiration.
His committee, made up Of
prominent citizens got behind
him and Mr.. Farley and as a
result there is barely a man,
woman or child in the District
of Columbia who hasn't had
the opportunity to boost the
Bluege Day laid before them in
the true spirit of the day-glVe
as little as a nickel and it's
as typical of the Bluege idea
as if you gave a dollar or ten.
The Times takes this oppor-
tunity to thank the Washing
ton public for following 1t into
this Bluege Day, a thougnt
which needed only a spark TO
ignite it into an inflamed cru

serving ball player and gentle-

GREENS SUIT
j. s. OPEN
CHAMP
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 9,
With the national amateur golf
championship five days off the
normal blather that precedes
every championship is we'll under
way, even to the tale that Johnny
Goodman can't miss his first
amateur championship this time
because the green's were made for
his delicate, compact style. 1t
doesn't seem to have occurred to
anybody that they might be
Johnny FiScher's kind of greens,
too, since he is a local develop
ment and Kenwood is his preserve.
Goodman, of course, is the big
man around here, for if he pulls
this one out, he'll join Jones and
Evans as the only amateurs to
win both of the big titles at one
and the same time. Ouimet and
TraverS were double winners, too,
but not simultaneously.
Good Ones On Hand
Most of the good ones are here
by now and the rest will be in by
nightfall. Goodman and c. Ross
Somerville. the Canadian who
beat John out of the title last
year, have been in town for some
days. So have George Dunlap,
who shot a SO the other day, and

From Hearts Of Fans

Through their nickels and
dimes and quarters, and in no
few cases their dollars, Bluege's
gift indeed comes from the
hearts of the fans, just as Ossie
would have it come.
Football rang the bell of base
ball sentiment when the coaches
and players of the Catholic
University 1888 gridiron aggre-
CATION sent along check to the
Bluege fund.
Every theater in Washington,
through Chairman Carter Bar
ron. contributed.
Wrestling, through the good
offices of Joe Turner and
George King have swelled the
Bluege pot to the boiling point.
Every government depart
ment, division, bureau and Of
flee kicked through, as did
hundreds of private business
enterprises and thousands of
individuals, bakers, lawyers,
jurists, doctors, plain baseball
fans and little boys and girls.
Four Washington judges Of
high Id low rank, contributed.
The City Post Office con-
tributed 100 per cent per capita.
The Washington Times do
mated 100 percent by personnel.
So did the Veterans Bureau.
The same goes for dozens Of
other Federal organizations.
The people have put across
Ossie Bluege Day.
This newspaper thought in
the beginning they would-and
the baseball-minded public did
not betray that trust.

FEET FIRST!

The shoes you wear affect your health, posture, appearance and disposition. Bear all these points in mind when you set out to buy new fall shoes.
 Be sure, first of all, that your feet are in good condition before you visit shoe store. You can't expect your new shoes to be com fortable if you have corns and callouses. If you have corns, 1t is best to see a reliable foot doctor.
 Callouses can be treated at home if you pay particular atten- ton to scientific routine. Never cut them. Soak your feet nightly and then rub the calloused places with a piece of pumice. Don't try to remove all the callous the first night. It takes time and pa- tience.
 If you cannot get to a doctor to have your corns treated, perhaps corn plasters may afford relief. These protect the corn from the shoe. Removing the source of ir- ritation will sometimes cure the corn.
 Wear fresh stockings every day. Always take special pains to dry your feet thoroughly. between the toes. If you notice little callouses or pieces of loose skin between your toes,

I'm glad Peggy is starting to school" said her mother. she's getting beyond me-"
 "They soon straighten them out" agreed her friend. 1T hope that you will like school, Peggy"
 Peggy said, "Yes'm," was cor rected and tried to give a better answer.
 But her thoughts were not on manners. She was thinking about that strengthening out" What could 1t mean? What did they do to you there?
 Classroom Fear
 She didn't want to be straight ened out. She didn't want to go to school at all. She called school square. Everything square. Square books, square blackboards, square desks, square everything. Lines and rows and squares. She had visited school with Lois and when she came home she felt that she never wanted to go to that place again.
 ESQ you're going to school this fall, Peggy!"
 Everywhere she turned some- one said that to her.
 And her mother would answer for her: "Yes, and I'm so glad. She is running wild and needs to be doing something. You know they make them walk the chalk line and the children turn into different people,"
 Lois added her bit. "When you go to school you can't do that. If you don't behave you'll catch it. You mustn't whisper. If you're dumb they'll put you in a back seat"
 Already she was planning ways to defeat this great machine that was to catch and crush her.
 Another Attitude
 Up in the mountains a fine wom- an with clear eyes, not yet rested, was saying, II must be getting home soon. School won't be long now. I dread this time of year. I always call 1t the frightening peri ed. About half the children who start in have been talked at all summer until they are like nervous little rabbits. Either that or they are determined not to submit.
 T wish people wouldn't worry these babies before hand. Just let them take 1t for granted and let them walk in without Q lot of priming. It takes me weeks to un- scare them and assure them that they won't be eaten or beaten.
 Sometimes it's the other way and they are promised Roman holiday just to get them there. That's almost as bad. The best way is to talk very little at all and act as though school were as natural as breakfast or the sun."

candlelight, she declared. Dick beamed at her. "To-morrow." he said, we'll have a real dinner in our first home, won't we, sweetheart?"
 "Why, yes." said Eve soberly. She had not the slightest idea how it was to be managed since she had to be at the office until five o'clock.
 As she waited for the trolley at the corner next morning she turned to look at the house. It was downright shabby from the outside. Eve was not so pleased with her new home as she had been the night before.
 But she forgot all that in a tre- mendously busy morning. At noon she purchased an orchid linen luncheon set but there was no time for further shopping.
 "Oh. bother!" she told herself. q can't do everything. We'll just have to get our meals out for a while"
 But when she reached home that night she was greeted by an aroma she loathed-cooking cab- bage! In great consternation she hurried to the kitchen. There stood Dick wearing blue flannel shirt with turned up collar and a pair of old tweed trousers. HIT was grating horseradish. On the stove stood & steam pressure cooker.
 "Dick"' gasped Eve. What on earth-?'
 Hello, sweetheart" he said, inclining his head for a kiss. Be- fore Eve could take her hat off he had lifted the huge cooker and
