CARNEGIE PRIMES
ITS RUNNING GAME
To Show Something Besides
Passes in Georgetown
Clash Tomorrow.

DITTSBURGH, Pa, November
17.-Carnegie Tech this
l. week has been working al
most exclusively on a run
ming oftense in preparation for
the tilt with Georgetown in
Washington tomorrow. Since the
victories that the Tartans have
scored this year have been largely
through the medium of the for
ward pass, opposing teams have
been SO arranging their defenses
that it has been extremely diff
cult for Carnegie to complete the
filings in recent contests.
Coach Harpster realizes that his
passing game is not effective unless the
opponents have running game to
worry about also. Consequently, the
blocking has received much attention
this week, with plans being laid to
shake loose Owen Bowser or Johnny
Sayles. Bowser, sophomore. is almost
certain to start his first college game
against the Hoyas. Sayles is the senior
fullback, who has been supplanted by
Joe Mlhm, junior. in the last few
games because of Mihn's greater
weight and punting ability.
Has Fleet Ball Toters.
MYTH Sayles and Bowser In the
" backheld, Carnegie will have
two Of her fastest men in ac-
tlon. Bowser is not a big boy, weigh
ing but l55 pounds, but he is fast and
tricky, and with a dry field should
cause the Georgetown defense plenty
OF trouble. Sayles weighs only 175 but
he Is hard hitter and fairly clever in
an open field
Harpster also has decided to use
Charley Spank another sophomore. as
well as Benevins at quarterback. Spisak
started his first game against Michigan
State last Saturday and did very well
He is the gambling type that Harpster
likes. Against Michigan State, the first
time Carnegie obtained possession OF
the ball, on her own 6-yard line. Spisak
tossed a forward pass from behind his
own goal line, and 1t was almost COM
pleted.
Only three or four boys who played
against Georgetown last year will be ir
the lineup tomorrow, Capt. Stewart al
left end, Croft at left tackle. Burzio al
right guard and Sayles at fullback are
the players who opposed the Hoyas in
Washington year ago.

of the series which ended in Tulsa's
favor, 1916, but one Of the Tulsa stars
Of that game, Chet Benefited, Is now
an assistant to Henderson.
Unless all signs fail the game will
quickly develop into an offensive strug-
gle, both teams possessing offense-
minded coaches and many and varied
attacking maneuvers. Tulsa is famed
for its wide-open style of foot ball, in
which forward and lateral passes from
spread formations play a prominent
part, while George Washington has be-
come known for its of tackle SmaShes
and reverse plays which start from
short punt formation.

~ The showing of the Navy

affect the schedule of next sea-

subsequent years to a consider
ably greater degree.
If the Navy players show clearly that
the strain Of the terrific series of games
in which they have played has been too
great for them, and they are unable to
meet these opponents, who are no
heavier nor experienced than themselves.
1t must be taken that the Navy is not
capable OF playing in one season six of
the strongest college teams and three
others not much below the standard.
This will not be considered as demon
strated merely by the loss of both of
these games, but if it is unquestionable
that the Navy, after the strain of its
other games, cannot make a creditable
showing against these elevens and, par
1t is probable that less weighty schedules
are to be arranged in the future.

The survey being conducted by the
American Federation Of Government
Employees to ascertain the views Of
members Of Senate and House on resto-
ration Of Federal pay is meeting with
gratifying response, e. Claude Babcock,
president of the federation, said today.
Following the action Of Chairman
Harrison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee in pledging his aid to the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor in the move
for pay restoration, Babcock sent tele-
grams to other Senators and Represent
atives to determine their attitude, and
has thus far developed opposition only
from Representative Blanton, Demo-
crat, of Texas.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, who is on the Appropriations
Committee, said he would favor the old
scale as soon as the Federal income
equals expenditures, but added that the
rising cost Of living also must be taken
into consideration. Senator Carey, Re-

support, declaring he has always felt

U. S. Supreme Court Decision
Removes Ban on Action
Beyond Cab Driver.
APPEALS BENCH OPINION
IN CALAIS CASE UPHELD
Expected to Change Materially
Course of Damage Claims Be.
sulting From Accidents.

The course of damage suits against
taxicab associations" in the District
will be materially changed by decision
handed down by the United States Su-
preme Court yesterday.
Heretofore a person knocked down
and injured by cab bearing the color
scheme of any of the associations was
limited to a suit against the individual
owner Of the cab. Now, If he can make
the proper showing, he may be able to
obtain judgment against the aSsocta-
tion itself.
The particular case decided involved
damage claim against the Independ-
ent Taxi Owners Association. All cabs
belonging to members of this associa-
ton bear a distinctive color device and
the lettering, Diamond Cab"
James Callas claimed he was injured
by one Of these cabs, and brought suit
against the association. In the District
Supreme Court it was held that the suit
could not be maintained against the
association, as matter Of law, and
there was directed verdict In favor OF
the association.
Appeal Brings Reversal.
Callas appealed and the District
Court of Appeals reversed the decision.
liam Hitz, the Court of Appeals ruled
that he should have left 1t for the jury
to settle, as a matter of fact, and not
law, whether the evidence showed the
association was or was not liable.
Yesterday the United States Supreme
Court declined to disturb this decision
so that now the case must go back for q
new trial under the principles laid down
by the Court Of Appeals. Its outcome
will be watched with great interest by
the local bar.
Independently Of its outcome, how
ever, there is considerable agitation at
the moment in favor of law compel
ling all taxicab operators to take out
liability insurance or bond as cond1-
ton Of being allowed to operate. Sew
eral of the larger taxicab concerns favor
Richmond B. Keech recently said he
would not be surprised If the cab oper-
ators all agreed to take out the insur-
ance voluntarily even before Congress
meets again.
With the large number Of cabs oper-
ating on the streets, there has been
much complaint that persons injured In
taxicab accidents have been unable to
secure just compensation for their in
juries. This is particularly true in the
case Of individual operators with no
reachable assets except their cab, on
which there is often large prior lien in
the form Of the amount due on the con-
ditional bill OF sale.

conveyor and dumped outside the win

The Job started last February with

around the vault. That had to be done
a small section at time. A hole would
be dug under a section of the wall, and
concrete poured in. This would then
be subjected by special hydraulic ma
chimes to pressure equal to that exerted
by the building, and then further con-
crete poured to take up any settling
of the first concrete pile.

Next comes the reinforced concrete

concrete is of a type especially devel-
oped for vault work. There are said
to be only two machines in the country
capable Of making it. In its construc-
tion thick steel plates are perforated
with narrow Sits at quarter-inch in
tervals. The machine then seizes the
two ends Of the plate and pulls them
apart. The result Is something that
looks like greatly exaggerated chicken
wire.
Tons and Tons Of Steel
Some idea of the impregnable char
acter Of the vaults when finally con-
structed can be gained from the fact
that the job will require 600 tons of
steel, mostly steel plate lining; 1900
tons Of the specially chilled cast iron
