Full OF untlrlng energy and

Is limit that is never reached,
the Lion mentor does as much
work during four hours on the
practice gridiron as the ordinary
man does during an eight-hour
day.
Field Work Not All
But don't let that deceive you.
Llttle'S working day doesn't con-
S1St OF four hours on the gridiron.
Long before he arrives at Baker
Field, he has already spent hours
IN his office at the Columbia
Athletic Association planning new
plays for his team, mapping
out defenSeS against coming op-
ponents and doing a million and
one things that the public never
thinks of as being part of the
regular routine for a football
coach.
But of course it's the hours
spent at Baker Field that are the
hardest. And for a coach who
takes his duties earnestly and as
seriously as Little does, that's
plenty of work.
Little has staff of assistants
He has more assistants working
with him than any other coach
in the city. Yet he goes on and
on, trying to be in all parts
of the field at once, supervising
his assistants and directing the
coaching himself until the spec
tator feels weary from the eff
forts that Little expends on
his job.
Little Watches Everything
Up at Baker Field it's not at
ell unusual to see Sam Cordo

linemen on the bucking machine

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Dr.
Miguel M. Gomez, a former
mayor of Havana who passed
last year in political exile in
New York and became much
interested in Columbia Univer.
sity's football team during his
stay, has requested the Colum-
bia athletic authorities to cable
him the result of each Colum-
bia game this fall. He has re-
turned to Cuba since the revo-

his interest in Columbia'S

have Little, who has been di-
recting the backs in forward
passes on the field, suddenly
turn around, watch for a mo.

to the far-off linemen.
There's also to be heard at
Baker Field, sometimes, com.
ment from the sidelines that Lit.
tie works too hard. Perhaps he
does. But perhaps, again, that's
the reason he turns out such
fine football teams and is called
a coach among coaches by both
players and colleagues.

DEATH STALKS
BLASTV|CT|N

Charles Pitts, 100 block Capt..
toll Ave. N. E., was in a critical
condition in Emergency Hospital
today from burns suffered yes
terday in the blast which wrecked
the Southern Oxygen Company
plant in South Washington and
killed one workman.
At the hospital it was said
Pitts had passed a fair night
but that his chances of recovery
were slim.
N. r. Hartman, 200 block Brad
dock Ave-, Alexandria, was blown
into the air by the force of the
blast. one leg being torn off.
He died shortly after arrival at
the hospital.
The plant was so demolished
that company officials were un-
able to determine the cause of
the explosion which was heard
for miles around. 1t was believed,
however, that the gas compressor
caused the blast.
Eight fire companies fought the
blaze that followed the explosion
and managed to keep the flames
away from the huge storage tanks
of the American Oil Company
located less than 100 feet away.
While the fire was blazing, F.

A lone gunman, believed to be
the same one who yesterday held
up the night clerk of the Plaza
Hotel, early today held up John G
Dunn, night manager Of Childs
Restaurant at North Capitol Street
and Massachusetts, Avenue and
escaped with $50.
The robber walked into the res
taurant on the stroke of four and
ordered a package of cigarettes.
Dunn slid them onto the counter

one hand and drew a pistol with
the other.
$40 Is Overlooked
He ordered Dunn to hold up his
hands, then opened the cash reg
lister and took out $50, overlook
ing $40.
After stuffing the money into
his pocket, the man backed out of
the place and disappeared. The
only other person in the dining
room was waitress who was eat
ing her breakfast.
Police took the cigarettes to
headquarters. to be examined for
fingerprints, although Dunn was
not sure the man actually touched
the package.
Man Reports Assault
In another holdup, Walter R.
Thomas, 80, of the 1900 block

one of three men who stopped him

Civil Works employees in the

than originally planned, Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal relief ad,
ministrator, promised today.
Continuation of the local Civil
Works program is made possible
by the "tapering off" schedule
announced this week by Presi
dent Roosevelt. Washington,
Hopkins said, will be considered
as a Northern city so that its
program may be prolonged.
Civil Works Administration
officials have created a new
classification Of workers-that OF
semi-skilled labor under their
jurisdiction, it was revealed to
day with publication of a com
munication sent the District
Commissioners.
Pay Rates Fixed

to notify CWA officials in the
District of Colu mbia Of the
change, the note sets forth the fol
lowing terms:
Persons who do supervised

which a degree of experiences is

organizations of the District.
A bill to amend the act of 1878,
which provides that the engineer
commissioner must be named from
the army engineer corps, is now
being drafted for presentation at
the coming session, Senator King
announced.
King Explains Change
Detailing his reasons for the
projected change, Senator King
said:
1T is my candid opinion that
the problems of cities are very
different from those which the
Army engineers are called to act
upon.
ut would, therefore, be more
desirable to have civilian en-
gineer who knows the city, who
is familiar with its problems Of
sewage, lighting, street extern.
sion and Improvements and
other civic projects, rather than
bring in an Army officer, usually
from some distant post, who is
in no way familiar with the
needs of the District"
The Washingtonians, who have
been making a study of this prob.
lem, adopted resolution request
ing the appointment of a new Dis
trict engineer from civil life.
Copies of this resolution will be
sent to the President, both houses
Of Congress and to the Federation
Of Citizens Associations.
Has No Objection
Gen. John H. johnson, former
District Commissioner, now chair
man of the NRA Compliance
Board in the District, said he
would have no objection to the
change in Engineer Commission
erS, provided the District could
find a man with as extensive
training as that of the Army.
