WASHINGTON, Nov. ia ra-

politics appeared today as the likely
first fruits Of renewed diplomatic
relations between Washington and
Moscow.

Maxim Litvinov, foreign commissar,
sought today to complete arrange
ments for trade. He was expected
to confer during the next few days
with officials of RFC and other
government economic agencies.
That America would aid this trade
development with substantial ere
dts was generally accepted
Recognition of the Soviet Union
was announced by President RooSe-
welt at the White House, just be-
fore he left for a vacation at Warm
, Springs, Ga, last night.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced at the
same time that he would appoint
William C. Bullitt, Philadelphia, as
the first American ambassador to
the Soviet Bullitt is now special
assistant to Secretary of State Hull.
Only few hours after the White
House announcement, Litvinov,

club. He wore a red necktie and his
face was wreathed in smiles.
The commiSsar declared that re-
cognition W/ not formal gesture
but the portent of real friendship
between the United States and the
Soviet Union.
To Seek Credits
Litvinov plans to remain here foi'
several days more During that time
he is expected to devote attention
to a proposed $75,0O0,000 credit
from the RFC to the Soviet Union
for the purchase of American goods.
A recent state department study
indicated that Russia, if given the
proper credits, was prepared to
spend 100000 here during the
next year.
Adjustment of debts and claims,
or at least a search for methods OF
adjustment, also was on Litvinovs
calendar. No arrangement was made
In the documents signed by the
commissar and Mr.. Roosevelt af-
fecting the $187 100000 debt for the
Kerensky regime to the U. S. trea-
sury; the $75,OOO,0O debt of InIper-
ial Russia to U. S. bankers, or the
$41O, 100000 worth of private Am
erican claims against Russia.
Recognition came as the result
of 10 days and nights of negotia-
tiors between the Soviet commissa-
and Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Soviet Union guaranteed the
United States that it would not
sponsor propaganda here, and that
it would insure Americans freedom

Nurse Shaken By
Cross-Exon1inofion

SANTA CRUZ, Calf, Nov. 18.
U.P)-A court recess today gave
Miss Frieda Weltz, red-haired war
nurse, an opportunity to regain her
accustomed calmness, shaken bad
ly by a vigorous cross-examination
in her trial here on a charge Of
numbering Francis J. M. Grace, re-
tired shipper.
The nurse showed the first signs
of breaking when she testified in
her own defense. She presented a
story that Grace had criminally at
tackled her, that the attack brought
approaching motherhood, and that
he had refused to aid her.

the hip, but restricted trunk and
shoulder action.
One day less than a month
ago, as Frank was examining
some football hip-padS turned out
by his factory the thought struck
him that a device almost similar
to those pads could be used to
suspend his false leg. To this
end he hurried off to Pittsburgh
to an expert in such things and
promptly invested a thousand
dollars in an experimental girdle
on the hip-pad idea.
When the new hip suspension
was completed, Frank tried it
out and Immediately noted many
improved features in the idea.
For one thing it eliminated the
harness from his shoulders and
thus gave complete upper trunk
freedom, for another his body
gained a natural balance and the
new hip suspension Immediately
relieved fatigue. With the ex-
ception Of his cane Frank now
walks about almost as he did in
days of old and only his early
friends know that his left leg is
a combination of birch, rawhide
and coil springs instead Of bone
and muscle.
Frank has made no attempt to
patent his idea for the obvious
reason that he does not want to
deny it's benefits to those in a
similar situation.
The Washington times., 1933-10-26

In my day and hour I have
overheard, and no doubt perpe-
trated, some very garbled foot
ball reports, either because the
play was in some remote sector
from the press box location,
or through downright lack of
familiarity with a rule or a
play or a formation.
But the thing which all miss
most frequently in football
is the fine line play, the block
ing, taking out, the charging
and often the identity of the
tackler. a man whose work is
just as important to his team
as is that of the ball carrier.
With a representative of each
team near the nicrophone to
pick out these things for an an
nouncer who knows how to tell
it to the stands. a footall game
is greatly enhanced in attrac-
tiveness, understanding and en-
tertainment to IS per cent of
the audience.

FACES SH|KAT

Whether or not Cliff Olsen fits
into a big-league environment
should be definitely proven to-
night when he tackles his first
major assignment locally, main
eventing with Dick Shikat at
the Washington Auditorium.
Though good enough to have
held Champion Jimmy Londos
81 minutes and to have worked
two hours to a draw with Jim
Mcmillan previously, this marks
Olsen'S first appearance in a
headlining bout here.
Whereas a majority Of local
observers consider Olsen over
matched, the 23-year-old Swedish
youngster voices violent objection.
He says:
"I'm younger. faster and
more aggressive than Shikat.
That ought to mean something.

body, once I get going. Any.
way, the German won't enjoy
any walkaway!"

Great Aid to Press

I say a representative Of
each team should assist in this
amplifying because he has been
with his team through all it's
practices, scrimmages and games
and knows who does what,
where to look and what to
look for; whereac an average
spectator roaming from one
style of play to al4other from
weekend to weekend has to do
a lot of readjusting, mental and
optical, in order to pick out
every detail of play.
1t is almost an inhuman job,
even for a reporter whose bust.

I like this amplifying idea,
and want to see and hear more
of it. It makes our work easier

Finally he rallied and returned

Of darkness.
At first my old friend went
about his business on the usual
type of false leg that works from

an unnatural gait and set him
to thinking. Eventually a har-

Hap HardelJ As UsuaL Sees Tech Beate1
CENTRAL
WILL WIN BY
5OPO|NTS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Uncle Hap Hardell was in an
other of his figuring" moods
yesterday when bumped into by
your rowing reporter.
Unusual high school race
this year, eh, Hap?" we began.
"YeS. but Techs not gonna
win the title"
Hold on, wait a minute now,
Hap, we didn't mean that"
Don't care, we're not gonna
win. Central will beat us, so
to 0. As to Eastern I'll be able
to figure that a little better
after they play Roosevelt. Still,
1 think they'll beat u.s."
"HOw come. Hap, how Gomez"
As FROM s5, SIMPLE
swell, Tech only beat Roose-
welt, As to 0, didn't they?
Central beat 'em 95 to 0. This
leaves a balance of so, which
looks like the score they'll de-
feat us. At least they were
so points better against the
Rough Riders than Tech when
they met WoOdwOrth's team"
"Now that that's settled,
Hap, how about Techs game
against Western tomorrow"
"They might beat us, too.
They're no slouches, especially
that line. Still, we may be
fortunate by scoring q victory.
One can never tell in these
days of upsets."
"Yeah, Hap, yeah. We un-
derstand your team has 43
plays ready to spring on the
opposition at any time. Guess
you'll use 'em in the Central
game. huh?"
"We'H use 'em if it's neces-
Sary, and If the boys can re- ,
member them. forgot some
of 'em myself. Let's see, now,
where were we?"
"Never mind, Hap: I just
wanted to say hello. Well be
seein' YOU after those western
and Central victories"
It might be said here that for
the first time in about six years
Tech is really pointing for its
annual meeting with Central.
the traditional battle
hasn't meant a great deal, as
Central hasn't possessed the
front in the world.
But this year the Mt. Pleasant
ers have demonstrated that they
must be figured. Tech, taking no
chances. has begun to point for
the meeting next Friday, Novem-
Der 3.
Although Hardell continues to
be his usual pessimistic self by
announcing his team won't have a
chance to win, he is hopeful, even
deep down in his heart,
that the Mt. Pleasanters will be
beaten again. He does realize,
however, that the task is going to
be a little more difficult than ever
before.
AS to tomorrow's contest against
Western, the mentor really be-
ieves Tech will win by several
;ouchdowns. Most everyone has
his same idea. Despite the un-
showing of the George
owners, they don't possess the
scoring punch to win. Tech. on
he other hand, has plenty of scor-
ng power on the ground and in
he air, even though the latter
hasn't appeared as yet.

Taken Lightly
West Virginia Wesleyan playS
George washington University in

Everyone seems to be taking the
Bobcats lightly. Maybe West
Virginia Wesleyan will turn out
to a dangerous team here in
Washington.
The Bobcats, coached by Cebe
Ross, play the Notre Dame box.
formation offense without the
Notre Dame shift. They also
play punt formation.
Three light backs - Petersen,
Hall and Howell, each about 165
pounds--supplement Warfield in
the Bobcat backfield. All are
fast, and Warfield is the star of
them all. Peculiarly, these small
backs hit off tackle and inside
tackle with great gusto. They
depend on agility, and, strange
as it may seem, on power. to
gain ground. The Wesleyan team
has little or no deception.
When on offense, the Bobcats
block "two on one," that is. they
send two offensive units after one
defensive unit. They are par
ticularly adept at this two on
one" blocking when backs are
called upon to hit inside or out
side defensive tackles.
Wesleyan plays reverses, splits
and spinners. but they are best
when executing a plain off-tackle
slice.
They also like to hit back to
the weak-side, for Wesleyan
plays an unbalanced line, chang.
ing units around to get strength
in the spot toward which a play
is directed.
AS a strategist, Cebe Ross Is
noted. It is said that he out
maneuvered N. Y. u, with Wes-
leyan's line units moving around
in crazy style, yet in such a
manner as to gain strength where
it was required.
Rine Star
Rine, WeSleyan's left end, is a
fine player. He weighs only ITO
pounds, but he is clever. He is
fine pass receiver, but he is
at his best when called upon to
block out a tackle with one of
his backfield mates. The backs

is the heaviest player. Green.

ell, a guard, scales 1876. Greer,
Wesleyan's best guard-a running

The Bobcat backfield averages
only 1853 pounds, but, strangely,
it is better known as power
backfield than a speeding one.
