the great American college game.
You are going to watch and
read about it; I'm going to coach
it, and the willing young fellows
of George Washington University,
among others, are going to play
it as soon as they can take over
Griffith Stadium following the
world series. In fact, this will
occur earlier, but for the next
three weeks King Football will
stand off in the wings watch
ing Baseball stage its grand
finale.
I am thankful to The Times
for this oportunity Of greeting
you, for I have wished for q
long time to meet the sports
fans Of Washington who have so
kindly supported me. For four
years now you have helped me
build up the game Of football in
the Nations Capital, and I be-
lieve that in the not-too- distant
future you will be able to Wit

tions the game has to offer,

OWNERS VIEW
FAIR YEAR
AHEAD
BY GINO SINH

If Washington had q vote and
the presidential elections were
at hand every local bowling i'm
presario would cast a straight
Democratic ballot without q mo-
ment's hesitation out Of sheer
gratitude.
The New Deal has played
major role in keeping the duck
pin games head above water and
to start it on its way to, at least,
an average season.
Toward the tail-end Of the
past season, a "blue funk" settled
down on the maple.spilling pas
time. With banks popping" all
around and unemployment and
wage-cutting on increasing, the
future Of bowling as a business
seemed ominious, indeed.
But shortly after the curtain
rang down on the 1928 duckpin
season, "F. D." began to deal out
his "New Deal" and the fog
started to lift.
Threshold of Season
Now, on the threshold Of a
new season, the bowling situation
looks very encouraging. While
those who make a livelihood in
this game do not look forward
to a prosperous year, yet all feel
that the figures are likely to be
on the black ink side of the ledger.
A check-up on local and sub
IN4xry1iVan 'oCfo Mich NnYNfS
finds all but three ready to
launch their season this week,
and there is a possibility that two
of those three may get back in
running before the season is very
old.
Silver Spring, Rosslyn and
Queen Pin alleys are the three
which will not throw open their
doors this week.
The Recreation alleys, which
closed down Unexpectedly during
the first part of July, changed
ownership but not mangership,
and will swing into action during
the week and the radiantly boyiSh
smile of Harry B. ("Pop~ HALEY
will again beam within its portals
as it has for half a decade or
more.
Shift In Personnel
Only a few shifts in alley per-
Sonnel occurred. Ollie Pacini is
now in charge at Northeast
Temple, with Red" Megaw ally
ing himself with Petworth. Gait
:. Davis, go-getting young manager
of Rosslyn alleys, is now at
Georgetown Recreation, assisting
Ed Schlegel.
Bill Wood has added a unique
and spacious beer garden to his
Lucky Strike plant, which will
certainly give added pleasure to
his patrons. It is Bills own con-
ception and it is a gem of cozi-
ness.
Charlie Bell is also constructing
a beer garden at Convention Hall.
Arcadia, Columbia, Rendezvous,
King Pin, Capitol Hill, Bethesda,
Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier, College
Park, Clarendon, Kensington,
Boulevard, Takoma and Rockville
are also slicked up for a grand
Send-off.
The Temple Minor League, one
of the most successful secondary
loops the past season, will hear

Football before breakfast!
This morning, shortly after 5
o'clock, candidates for the
George Washington University
grid team leaped out Of bed
and into football suits. At
about 5:25 some IS college
youths were dashing up and
down the field, preparatory to
a signal drill.
Practice lasted for about an
hour and IS minutes, after
which breakfast was served.

stone. However, believe with the
present fine nucleus and the men
coming up from last years fresh
man club the Colonials Will 60
good.
Regarding our outlook at Cath
olic University I am genuinely
optimistic.
I do not say we'll win all our
games because realize that when
the football season is finished you
generally can count on your fin
gers and toes the undefeated
teams.
Frim a coaching standpoint, I
realize that in IS per cent Of the
games played the best line wins.
In other words, if the line goes
forward you win and If it goes
backward you lose. In our forward
wall we have two lines from tackle
to tackle which will average ap'
proximately 200 pounds. Our ends
hit around 1876 pounds and our
backfield will average between ITO
and 100. Extensively our attack
because of having a larger team
as a whole, will necessarily mean
that we will utilize our running
game to larger extent.
WheIan Gone
We lose valuable men this year
in Tom Whelan, BUS" Sheary
and Vincent Fraatz. Out Of the
freshman ranks, however, we are
recruiting three splendid linemen
in Bill Lajousky, Ralph Shaugh-
messy and Ed Karpowich and two
promising ends in George Multi
gan, Joe Quinn and Harold Nc
Gam. Nor can we we'll overlook
these fine looking sophomore
backs, namely, AL Secino, Mike
Norton, Gordon Barron and John
Sniseak.
"Curley" Byrd, after 10 years
Of active coaching, is stepping
down and relinquishing the coach
ing reins at the University Of
Maryland. In passing, I know
that everyone in this particular
section of the country, as we'll as
throughout the South, is indeed
sorry to see "Curley" withdraw
from an active status. He has
been very colorful figure in foot
ball, has thousands of friends and
has played major part in the
games development in this par
ticular section.
AS to the new man at Mary
land, he really is not new at all.
We refer to our good friend, Jack
Faber. Already Jack is ranked
among the country's finest la
crosse coaches and, during his
hey-day at Maryland, he was
numbered among the greatest
halfbacks ever representing that
school.
Hagerty Has Hard Task
Jack Hagerty, really starting
his first year at Georgetown, has
the most difficult assignment Of
all. He loses good material and
faces a difficult schedule. He has
unlimited ability, however, and
Georgetown 1OL1OWeES can De u.s.
sured Of a capable football team
if he receives the proper coopera-
ton.
Under the sagacious handling
of Walter Young great things
may be expected of American
University within few years.
Despite innumerable handicapS
Young's teams have improved
from year to year and this years
eleven, to say the least, will be
better than his 1882 aggregation.
We all admire GallaudetS
pluck and fight. That school
has turned out some really fine
teams and If good wishes can
help the Kendall GreenerS will
go places during 1888.

nical data which will help the
average fan appreciate this great
game Of football more fully as he
sees it played on the field, and
as it is played behind the
scenes" At a later date I want
to go into more fully this subject
Of the game "as it is played be-
hind the scenes"
This, unfortunately, is restricted
territory to "Mr. Football Fan"
But here is where your great indi-
vidual stars and championship
football teams are really made.
Here is where youth is nodded
into the player, the sportsman,
and the student. The human
interest picture is presented. All
the bright spots in the boys ath-
letic and academic careers, and
the heartaches and disappoint-
ments they must overcome to
reach a first team position are
revealed. You will want to know
what goes on behind closed gates
in secret practice, in the dressing
rooms before and after the game,
and all Of the routine in the train
ing quarters.
HesitateS to Predict
But for the present let's focus
the spot on the prospects for Navy
football for the coming season,
down here on the Severn. I am a
little hesitant about sticking my
neck out" too far so early in the
season by way Of a lot of predic-
tionS. The down town coaches"
are liable to give me the time
worn II told you So" if the score
board is not productive of heavy
figures in the blue, "for the home
team"
Man power, however, is fore
runner of any successful football
season and in that department,
this year, I believe we are little
bit better fortified. We are
blessed with bit more reserve
strength and barring injuries this
ought to mean a lot as our sched-
ule looms upon the horizon.
For a Naval Academy football
squad we are a degree better than
average and now the only things
which stand in our way are a
number of high hurdles in the
names of William and Mary Gust
one college), Mercer, Pittsburgh,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Notre
Dame Columbia, Princeton, and
the Army. Just for fun we might
add Southern California and Col
gate to round out a few busy Sat-
urday afternoons.
Full of Fight
We're all Saving wood" down
here. No one seems too optimis-
tic nor do I note much pessimism
within the squad or about the
yard. The boys are all full Of the
old spirit and fight as usual. They
came back from leave after the
cruise in better shape than I have
ever seen them. For this reason
we advanced the training pro-
gram for early season work far
ahead of any previous year.
Probably much Of the fumbling
which occurred in our early sea-
son games last year could be at
tributed to lack of early season
scrimmage. But there is the big
problem every coach must face.
Shall scrimmage my squad
early in the season as is abso-
lutely necessary, or shall I just
get the rough work covered by
work in fundamentals?
If you don't take chance with
a few injuries early in the sea-
son you are liable to pay for 1t
later in the year because your
team has not played enough un-
der actual game conditions. Al
ter all one becomes more ad-
vanced in any game by actually
playing that game.
Things are looking up. One OF
our boosters from New York sent
me a new NRA slogan for the
coming year:

$4,000 AS MENTIONED

Discussing the recently appoint
ed committee to take care of the
unemployment Of people in Key
West for federal projects. w. w.
Demeritt says that as far as he
knows there is no one specific pro-
ject that is to be started at once.
Nor does he know of any speci-
fic projects that involves the ex-
penditure of $4,000, although
there are a number of proposed
projects that may use up that
amount and possibly more.
His understanding of the mat
ter Is that in all localities where
federal monies are to be spent for
construction or extensive repair
work, committees are appointed to
look after the labor situation to
see that both workmen and con-
tractors are fairly treated.
As all of these projects will be
under the NRA program,
It is his opinion that one Of the
duties Of the committees appoint
ed Is to enforce the provisions of

Anent the Identification pro-
ject recently completed in the
area bounded by United. Reynolds
and White streets and FIagler
Avenue and an article covering
the work which appeared in The
Citizen Of Saturday, Miss Mollie
Parker, under whose direction the
project was carried out. has the
following to say:
while highly appreciative of
the story and the credit given,
will thank you to make an ex-
PLANTATION about the coconuts. In
q sense they were my donation to
the city. but l do not want the
whole credit.
"The coconuts were given to me
by the Flagler Hotel System and
came from the Long Key Fishing
Camp upon my petition. They
were brought TO Key West by one
of the tenders Of the lighthouse
department"
In concluding her talk with The
Citizen Miss Parker says that
while it was through her efforts
the nuts were obtained and she
cared for the seed nuts until they
were ready to be set out, she feels
that both the hotel company and
Mr.. Demeritt are entitled TO their
share of the credit and asks that
this be done.
