NEW YORK. July 20-In ever
increasing numbers. sun worshlppers
are converging on secluded sylvan
spots this summer, and on the
shores Of protected lakes. 70 dof
their clothes and luxuriate in
nakedness. Thousands Of them in
the vicinity Of New York alone are
becoming converts 10 nudism
And all kinds Of people they are,
too-parentS and their children,
bachelors, spinsters. college stu
dents, clergymen. clerks. professors,
stenographers. Some are fanatics
some faddists. but collectively they
are part Of new and sensational
sociel phenomenon
The organized nudist movement
Ia America is about three years old.
But stealth and caution cloaked its
earliest life. Secrecy surrounded the
identities OF its followers and the
locations OF their meeting places.
Nudists were the targets OF written
and cartooned ridicule-and Of en-
thusiastic raids by police.
Movement Is Growing
This year. though, interference
has lessened. Reformers are vigil
liant, but inactive Many reputable
people no longer hesitate TO express
sympathy with nudist ideas. A
nudist movie IS being released IN
some states. A nudist magazine IS
bieng sold in nearly hundred cities
And in it are openly listed the
larger nudiSt organizations now eX-
listing in nine states.
For all that. considerable reti-
cence and timidity remain. The
American League for Physical Gull
ture. largest and oldest of the
groups, has only a postoffice box for
a New York address and has asked
this reporter not to divoulge the
location of its summer camp.
So, in fact. have the American
GymnOsOphical Association (Which
does have an Office in Manhattan,
the Olympian League. and the Spar
tan Society These organizations
maintain outdoor resorts with the
knowledge and. indeed. the protec-
ton OF police But they fear pub
licity might result in formal COM
plants which would force authori-
ties TO act against them.
Red Tape Faced
Joining a nudist league is a rela-
lively simple matter for the aver
age sun-Seeker, but takes weeks TO
consummate. Take the Gymno-
sophical Association, for example A
letter TO the secretary, Miss Ruth
Winkler, brings information regard

tious to turn in a lower score.

BIOLOGISTS OF
y NATIONS TO
MASS IN u. S.
international Congress to Be
Opened July q in
Capitol.
By Science Service

Ry Science Serrice
Washington soon will be the scene
of an international conference that
will have little difficulty in getting
down to earth. For it is the six
tenth session of the international
Geological Congress, meeting from
July % to 20, attracting the earth
sciences leaders of some twenty-five
civilized countries.
Political and economic leaders
may be discussing in London
monetary gold and silver and how To
remake the economic boundaries
that they have erected on the face
Of the earth. but the biologists will
be concerned with even more basic
questions:
Problems Are Listed
The measurement Of geologic time
and the determination of the age Of
the various layers of the earth.
The method OF formation Of the
metallic deposits that men mine.
The earth forming processes in
arid regions.
Fossil man and the animals that
lived with him.
Mountain building.
The geology of petroleum.
Copper resources Of the world.
Of tho cY1nn1nl
topics upon which papers will be
read at this international Geological
Congress.
Excursions Scheduled
Reading and discussing papers in
Washington is not the whole pro-
gram of the congress. for the foreign
visitors are being shown America
and its geology. Over a dozen ex-
cursions are scheduled and two of
these will extend across the whole
continent and occupy a month.
Shorter trips TO historic geological
spots in eastern United States have
been in progress during the fort
night before the congress convenes.
Although this is only the second
meeting of the congress in the
United States, the idea for the hold
ing of an international geological
congress arose out of the famous
1876 centennial exposition at Phila-
dciphia. James Hall. the famous
New York geologist, was president
of the founders committee that or
ganized the movement, and Eng
land was represented by the famous
Thomas Henry Huxley.
Uniformity Is Needed
International gatherings in SCI
ence, as in all human activities, are
useful in solidifying ideas and re-
vealing similarities and differences.
Significant to all such standardized
ton attempts is a statement maze
at the first of the international
geological congresses. 1t was ex-
planned that the need was felt for
mutual agreement on geologic class
ification and nomenclature, but
wisely it was observed that we can
not invoke here the law OF numbers;
no majority can impose convictions
which the sense of truth alone can
bring about"

At PARK
AFTER GAME
UNKNOWN

Reports from Pittsburgh, home
base for Carnegie Tech, to the
effect the Titans were the VIC
tins of ungentlemanly and UNI
sportsmanlike conduct in their
visit here Saturday for the Car
negie-Georgetown football game,
were today vigorously denied by
Hilltop athletic authorities.
Abuse and fistcuffs, alleged to
have been simultaneously hurled
at the Carnegie squad, immedi-
ately following the game, are
wholly unknown to the George
town athletic office.
They Did ScuffIe
A scuffle for the ball, border
ing on a free-for-all, however,
did take place, but the George
town athletic solons made no
mention of this fact. Reports,
also from Pittsburgh, to the
effect of possibly discontinuance
of athletic relations between the
two schools, was also denied by
Hilltop officials.
No knowledge of the rotten
egg incident was expressed by
the athletic office. The Titans
charged students bombarded
their bus with the spoiled eggs.
A statement was printed this
morning in Pittsburgh news
papers. allegedly from Howard
Harpster, head coach at Carnegie,
to the effect that Georgetown
played a rough" game, injuring
seriously three of his players,
and severely criticizing Coach
Hagerty, of GEORGETOWN, for fail
ing to apologize for the many
incidents following the game in
the dressing room.
Hagerty Makes Statement
Hagerty today denied this and
stated:
"FOllowing the game, I went
into the Carnegie dressing room
and presented Captain Stewart,
of the Tartans with the football
and apologized for the actions
of the students in putting on
a rumpus to get possession Of
it.
Stewart accepted both the
ball and the apology and told
me to forget it," as the boys
probably we're all hot and
bothered about the game.
II inquired for Harpster be-
fore walking over to Stewart
with the ball, and was told he
was gone, SO consequently I
made the presentation Of the
ball and apology to the captain.
There must be a mistake
somewhere. So far as know,
our relations with Carnegie
always have and always will
be some cordial"

PLAN DUCKP|N
LEAGUE
BY GINO SINH

Duckpindom will shortly vel
come new and highly desirable
women circuit.
It will be none other than a
District Catholic Sodalities duck
pin league. the feminine coun-
terpart of the amazing Holy
Name Society League which in
three short years has become
the largest duckpin loop in the
United States.
The Sodalities wheel will be
made up of teams from the
various parish sodalities of the
city and suburbs.
Miss Mary Mattingly, energetic
president of the Sodality Union
of Washington, is heart and soul
behind the move and is person.
ally heading the organizing com
mittee.
Six Parishes in Line
Six parishes are already organ
izing teams, with one parish, st.
Joseph, expecting to enter two
quints. Final plans of organiza-
ton will be completed at a meet
ing sometime this week.
Many spiritual directors of par
ish sodalities, having observed
the wonderful results brought
about by the formation of the
40-team Holy Name Society loop,
are heartedly behind the idea of
a sodality bowling circuit.
The Holy Name Society League
has been instrumental in stirring
dormant parishioners into taking
an active part in their parish
affairs. Many who attended
church at irregular intervals be-
fore are now found regularly at
church.
It has had particularly ben
eficial influence on the younger
set, who heretofore have looked
elsewhere for their recreation and
sports.
Signified Intentions
Other parishes besides St.
Joseph, who have signified their
intention of entering teams are
Nativity, st. Martins. st. Francis
Xavier, Holy Trinity and Holy
Comforter.
Several other parishes are ex-
pected to send representatives at
the organization meeting planned
tentatively for Thursday Of this
week.
This circuit will conflict in no
ways with the recently organized
Catholic Women's League, formed
by Lorraine GULL and John Con-
molly. and which is bowling at
King Pin alleys.
The Sodalities League will be
limited strictly to bona fide mem
bers Of the varioust parish soda
lities.

lie.
Well, perhaps that's what
Washington needs to put life

Lloyd Williamson, center of
the Georgetown University foot
ball team who was credited in
various sources with having
tossed the football into the
Georgetown stands after the
Carnegie Tech game, today
stated that this action has been
enormously charged to him.
The Washington times., 1933-11-20
A Logical Suggestion

Billy Evans suggestion that at
least one strike in the assert
ment Of four balls would curb
intentional passing, sounds quite
logical and I imagine if the
majors ever come around to do
ing something to curb the in
territorial pass, Billy'S one
strike clause will be adopted.
Clark Griffith takes the posi-
ton with regards to the recently
adopted role in the loop to the
south, that it robs the manager
of exercising certain very fine
strategy with regards to select
ing his pinch hitters.
That is very true, and Ger
tainly this type of strategy is
fine thing to gaze upon. Close
students of the game fairly revel
in these little maneuvers at the
bat.
Griff doesn't believe the
Southern Association rule will be
adopted by the majors. Be that
as it may, it is a start in the
right direction and may be the
beginning of a study which will
ultimately bring about a univer-
sal sacrifice walk" regulation
which will be acceptable to the
national rules committee, and
unlike the new clause to be eff
fective next season, grant so
much to gain so little.
So even though this innova-
ton may be somewhat half
baked, a trial of it will develop
what flaws it contains and give
its proponents an opportunity
to effect improvements as we'll
as allow the fans to decide on its
merit, if any.

Congratulations Griff

Clark Griffith is marking
his sixty-fourth milestone in
his journey through life and
he wears his years very be-
comingly. His spirit and youth
fulness of thought do not seem
to be in the slightest frosted
as time accumulates and out
side of a slight misery in the
side, he hasn't a complaint in
the world.
We are one of Griff's few
non-relatives, incidentally, who
has any right to call him
''Uncle," a term by which he
is affectionately known through
out baseball. Griff played his
first professional baseball in
the town where we were born,
Bloomington, Ill, so long ago
neither of us probably cares
to brag about it. But that
makes us cousins at least and
we extend our congratulation
along with the thousands of
others he will have received
by nightfall.

Dunbar and Armstrong High
Schools will meet today at 2:3O

Both teams barely nosed out
Cardozo and earned the right to
meet each other not only for the
local title but also for the South
Atlantic high crown. With four
victories and no defeats, Dunbar
is leading the high league.
Today's contest marks the

tween the two schools. The

Uncalled Balks

The discussion of the inten-
tional pass brings to mind a
phase of it which has long been
ignored in the major league.
Both the umpires and the team
managers have been oblivious to
the regulation that a balk is
committed when the catcher
leaves his position before the
ball leaves the pitchers hand,
to step to either side to accept
q pitch intended to be wide.
Paragraph 9 of Rule 81 of the
official rules emphatically says
that a balk should be called by

Intentional passing OF batters has
been one of the unsubstantial phases
of baseball for which no satisfactory
cure has ever been offered. Whether
the cure is now coming about remains
to be seen, but it is healthy indica-
tion to see one of the better minor
leagues make an honest effort to cor
rect a situation which has ever been
a weak spot in the sport.
There is baseball expression which
has to do with bearing down" It
always seemed to me that a pitcher
is hardly bearing down when he gives
batter base on four intended wide
pitches. The difficulty in getting at
this obviously bad custom has had to
do with a definite determining of
whether pass is accidental or other

Unexpected Scores
Probably the strangest feature
of Saturdays games were the I'm"
holy whalings melted out by Ten
nesSee to Vanderbilt, by Southern
California to oregon and by
Texas Christian to Texas. In all
pre-game dope these opponents
were figured so closely together
that ties were considered probable.
Tennessee smote Vandy, 80 to 6;
Ell Trojan walloped Oregon, rs to
0; Texas Christian won over U.
of Texas, 30 to 0.
Minnesota's record to date in
the Western Conference is an odd
one. The Gophers have won only
one and have tied four.
The feature of Saturdays local
football game activities probably
was the so-called riot" of George.
town students. It appears that
Georgetown has not lost all its
color.
The Skibos, of Carnegie Tech,
so the morning newspapers state,
plan to drop" Georgetown.
It is alleged that the Hoyas
students rotten-egged the carry
all toting the Carnegies. Fur.
Their, it is said that Howard
Harpster. young mentor to the
Skibos, was much upset because
Jack Hagerty, coach Of the
Hoyas, did not pay a social call
to the Tech dressing room after
Carnegie had won the game.
OF course, it is inapropos for
bold, bad students to toss rotten
eggs. However, in business it is
not the custom of the fellow
who loses out in business deal
to dash off to congratulate q
wolf of Wall Street. Incidentally,
one wonders just how much
money Georgetown lost on the
Tech games of 1882 and 1888.
Neither game drew much Of a
crowd.
Odd Spectacle
The odd spectacle Of two Off
Gals battling it out between
themselves to decide whether a
player slugged or not was offered
in the Catholic University-Man"
haitian game. Mr. j. E. Madden,
umpire one of the two officials,
won out over Mr.. w. L. Boy

that Mr.. Madden is a better
wrangler than Mr.. Boyson, al
though those who read of the
incident probably figure Mr..
Boyson won in the long run.
since he showed the better sense.
Perhaps Mr.. Madden never
played football and therefore
doesn't understand what is meant
by the expression "heat Of battle"
Or perhaps, Mr.. Madden loves
the word disgrace"
1t seems a shame to make q
youngster the goat in such an in
cident. The cruelty of the Incl
dent is self-evident when one
realizes that the two officials al
most had to come to blows before
they could decide the issue.
