Tammany Hall for the first time
in 20 years experienced the bitter
ness Of defeat and none of the
warriors from Boss John i. Curry
down to the most obscure precinct
captain was going to cheer about
1t. The traditional post-election
celebration was transformed into o
deep and gloomy silence.

The grey-haired taciturn Curry
whose control over the hall Is now
insecure, chewed a cigar and absent
mindly studied the returns assist
tants put on his desk.
Mayor John p. O'Brien, defeat

silent. Finally O'Brien read q state

In the large wigwam council

At 11:15, after a consultation
with Curry and others at the
table, O'Brien adjusted his pince-

statement.
"While complete returns have

their stables here for the meet
ing, which opens here tomorrow.
The track was covered with
snow and q north wind bowling
across the oval in real mid

This season Volok has been
used in four different positions by
the Golden Hurricane, which has
actually formed plays to suit
his ability in various phases Of
the offense. And according to all
reports Volok has done extremely
well. Thus far he has played
guard. tackle, end and fullback,
exhibiting real ability in each
position.
So George Washington has an
individual problem as well as q
team problem on its collective
hands Friday night. If it hopes to

ricane it must first stop Sweet

the Brown Bears should have been
satisfied. Perhaps they were, but
circumstances forced them into
one more scrimmage, and, accord
ing to accounts brought to me by
an old scout, Brown won the last
play cold.
It seems that someone not con-
nected with Brown had painted
the Brown goal posts with Prince
ton colors a short time before the
game. This caused the buildings
and grounds division at Brown
considerable trouble before they
were able to again produce white
goal posts.

When the Scrimmage ended and

not a Brown man was amongst
