The name, the FlrSC NaJlOnal
Bank of Washington, the unani-
nous choice of directors of five
closed banks participating in the
merger, has been definitely dis
carded, it was learned today.
The name by which the bank
will be known is to be announced
by President Edwin C. Graham
today.
Stock Campaign Opens
Each of the five banks began
an intensive campaign today to
obtain $1,250,O0O in subscriptions
to the capital stock of the new
institution.
Use of the name First National,
it was said, would re contradic-
tory to a policy observed by the
Treasury Department in disap'
proving adoption of name which
has once been used by bank
which has failed. A First Ma.
tional in the District. it was said,
went into receivership about so
years ago.
The names Central, United,
and Hamilton, it was stated at
yesterdays meeting of directors,
had been approved by the Treas
ury officials. The names of Colo
nial and Consolidated also were
suggested.
At a meeting of directors of
the institutions which are merg-
ing their prime" assets in the
new bank it was stated by Mr..
Graham that he hoped the stock
would be subscribed in seven days
and that the new bank would be
functioning early in June.
100000 DepositOrs
The new bank, it was stated,
will start business with entirely
liquid assets totalling $11,131,211
and that it will have 100000 de-
positors.
Member of Reserve
1t will be member of the Fed
eral Reserve system and will con-
duct a general banking business
unencumbered with real estate
or real estate mortgages, it was
stated.
Slow or doubtful assets are to
be liquidated through conserva-
tors of the "old' banks. This.
it was pointed out, would be
more rapid and orderly in bring
ing returns to depositors and
stockholders than other methods.
w. Irving Shuman, of the re-
organization division of the office
of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency. in reviewing the Wash
ington plan" of releasing frozen
assets of closed banks, reminded
the directors that stockholders
liability with respect to the "old
banks" remains until the liquida-
ton of their affairs is completed.
50 Per Cent Available
All banks becoming a part of
the new institution will make
available so per cent of their de-
posits.
The capitalization of the new
| institution probably will be
changed as other banks enter the
merger.
The five participating banks at
present are the Federal-American
National Bank and Trust Com
pany, the District National. the
Potomac Savings, Washington
Savings and the Northeast Sav.
ings.
The Woodridge-Langdon Savings
and Commercial Bank also is ex-
pected to join and the United

ruin fundamentals until you up
set the game itself. The Notre
Dame system is flexible and al
lows for all sorts Of changes
and experiments. In this system
it is possible to incorporate all
that is needed for a successful
football team.
Let me quote an observation
made several weeks ago by Law
renee Perry in the South Bend
Tribune:
"In the NOrthwestern-NOtre
Dame game last fall, Dick Han
ley, football coach of North
western, perfected a scheme
which he believed would stop
the Irish cold. Hanley put four
men on the line Of scrimmage,
the two ends and the defensive
guards. He placed his tackles
one yard behind the Scrimmage
line and a step inside the Irish
ends. He placed back directly
in front of the Irish center two
yards back. This back followed
the direction Of the backfield
shift and would then spring
into the line between the guard
and the tackle, facing the NOtre
Dame strong side. Thus ar
ranged, the defense sent guards
and the center charging under
the interference while the
tackles drove into it. The ends
charged to drive the plays to
the inside and the secondary
moved up to cut down any
plays that leaked through the
line of scrimmage. In this man

But the aerial attack was made

So we see the system
topped at one style and still
being able to switch to another
style and sweep the opposition.

Unlimited football game tomor-
row. The teams battle at 2:30
o'clock on the Seaman Gunners
field.
The Southeasterners are back
ing the Sailors to the extreme
to defeat the Marylanders. They
claim that the Gunners own bet
ter backs in Babe" Manette, 203
fullback; Lamb" Lamborne,
stocky, left half, and East"

But the Maryland supporters
who will journey to the Gunners'
field to cheer for their favorite,
say that the Maryland A. c. has
the best ball carriers in Fee"
Colhere, Ed Dugan and Ed
Ratdke.
Each team has won one and
tied one in league competition
thus far and tomorrow's game
has an important bearing on the
outcome of the unlimited race.
The Seamen defeated Fort
Humphrey after a hard battle,
81 to 18, and tied the MarionS,

At this juncture a touchdown was
made and the reporter with Wal

into his delayed account until it
resembled a lightning storm in the

dozens of editors flashed back at
him with the sad ending that he
was still sitting under a light in
the press box long after all the
others had folded up their port

was soon followed by g. Dart

saw him land five nice bass.

the smelt right off to it's head,
which was dangling on the hook.
And is Lehman doing some
wondering?
Bill Thrift and his father-in-
law slipped out into the Potomac
at 10 a. m. Sunday near Wood

nice bass in less than an hour.

TECH ELEVEN
GIVEN CLOSE
BATTLE
BY GARRETT WATERS


Some are saying that Tech
didn't "let out" others are COM
menting that the Manual Train
OrS were giving their all, still
others are undecided just how
TO take the contest.
The result tells that Tech won,
1S to 6. The picture gives the
impression that Hardell's boys
were just a little less better than
they were against Roosevelt last
week.
The answer to the whole story
viii be Strengthened out when
Tech meets Central next Friday
IN what will be the most import
ant Tech-Central grid contest in
several moons.
AS to yesterdays fray, Tech
won because it was able to en-
ploy the overhead game success
fully when it found it could not
gain through Westerns stubborn
line by straight football tactics.
Then again, the Gray team was
scored on late in the final quar-
ter because Western unleasheo a
running and passing attack that
apparently had the Hardeu-men
taken by surprise.
Best Game to Date
All in all the game was defi-
nitely the best played in the Sc
EieS to date. From the start to
the finish it was interesting even
though many believe Tech played
ConServatively, even though the
same might not have been the
case.
Coach Hardell again used an

aged to occur S:;hen regulars like
Pisani and CoineI were in action.
This pair worked commercially
on two passes that were tried in
the second and third quarters. A
blocked Western punt in the sec
ond period opened the path for
the first heave while recovered
tumble by Mclean, substitute end,
In the third quarter, made possible
the use of what proved to be the
ame-winning heave.
It might be said fate smiled
unfavorably against Western dur
ing the early moments Of the con.
test. The Georgetowners worked
the ball into excellent scoring posi-
ton in the first quarter and ap-
parently engineered a touchdown
when Larry Schneider, stocky half
back, plunged across from about
the 3-yard stripe.
But just before hitting the
Ground, Schneider let the ball slip
out of his arms and Pisani, ever
alert Tech quarterback, fell on the
ball for what was ruled a touch
back by Referee Magoffin.
Western Makes Sure
Western made sure Of its score
IN the fourth quarter, however.
when a drive was engineered from
behind the 50-yard line. A lat
eral pass from Schneider to Cor
eoran started the rally, a run by
Haskinson helped it along, a 20
ward pass from Corcoran to
schneider, kept it going further,
while a plunge by Schneider
from the 3-yard line found a
touchdown being written in the
high school record books.
BY scoring western duplicated
R&s feat of giving Tech scare
aS per its game against the Man
nal Trainers last year. Then,
however, the GeorgetownerS
pushed over their marker dur
ing the first half to hold that
6-to-O lead until the third
quarter.
Nevertheless, yesterdays touch
down was interesting enough as
# told the story that Tech can be
scored on this season despite the
fact that the team is supposed
10 be the class of the scholastic
elevenS as has been the case for
the past six campaigns.
