A Plan to Prevent
Automobile Strike

To the Editor of The Star:
If understand the objective OF the
national recovery program, 1t Is to re-
duce hours in industry whereby more
men may be employed and to step up
wages so as to increase the purchasing
power of the Nation. AS to these OBJ
jectives, it strikes me that the auto
mobile manufacturers nave met the
test when they agreed recently to a
reduction of hours to So per week with
an increase in wages.
Now, I am not unmindful OF the
mechanics involved in this contro-
versy between the automobile manu-
facturers and their employees. Labor
has its right to collective bargaining
under the law, and. in fairness and
common justice, it should be accord
ed that right without any statutory
guarantee. Furthermore. it should be
labor's right to select its representa-

SHOOTING STARS.

A Point of Certainty

A Point Of Certainty.
Here's to the gentle kind of man
Who sees his duty clearly
And never Wavsrs from a plan,
Though it may cost him dearly;
Who seeks to serve his fellow men.
Though some of them seem cutters
So here is to the man, again,
Who does not get the filters.
Here's to the man who never stirs
With thunderous oratory,
But tells, while every one defers,
A straight and simple story.
So when we give another toast,
Amid the nervous twitterS,
Here's to the man who helps us most
He does not get the jitters."

Why should we recklessly declaim
In favor of q wartime game?
Each budget, to be balanced nightly
Must always be approached politely
LAS all men know, both great and small
The obligations that will fall
Most heavily are those we meet
When Grief is cruel and complete.
Why should we overwhelm our senses
With endless funeral expenses"

HOYAS OPEN DRIVE
FOR n. Y.U. CLASH
Coach Hagerty Strives to
Improve 0ffense Weak
Against W. & M.

- EORGETOwN'S undefeated
4 united and unscored-upon
Y eleven began preparations
today for its game with New
York University in New York Satur-
day.
So far this season Georgetown has
won three games, while New York U.
has won two and lost one. The rec
ords follows:
Georgetown, 20; Mount St. Mary's. O
Georgetown, 8; Manhattan ......
Georgetown, 8; william & Mary. 0
New York u, 80; Johns Hopkins. 0
New York T., 8; W. Va. Wesl'n. 81
New York u, 13; Lafayette ...... z
This years game will be the sixth
between Georgetown and New York.
In 1928, Georgetown upset highly
rated Violet team, led by Ken Strong,
To. In 1929, the Hoyas repeated by
a decisive score. 14-0. In 1890. the
Violets won, 20, and In 81 and 80,
by decisive scores OF $40 ana 39-U.
Last year there was no game.
Although his team defeated William
and Mary and gained four times as
much ground, Coach Hagerty was far
from pleased with the performance.
Twice Georgetown had the ball within
the Indians five-yard line with four
downs to reach goal, yet it failed to
show a scoring punch. Every effort
will be made to improve the offense
for the New York U. game.
Hagerty is satisfied, however, that
he has found an excellent kicker In
Joe Meglen, whose goal from place
ment beat the Indians. Meglen's
punting has been strong, the Butte,
Mont, lad averaging better than 40
yards. and the kicks have also been
well placed.

MENKE TO COACH
AMERICAN j. LINE
Former c. U. Guard Is Made
Young's Aide-EagIes Not
Weak in Defeat.

~ EORGE MENKE, former Cath
4 olic University player, has
Y been signed to an indefinite
contract as assistant foot ball
coach at American University. He
will tutor the linemen.
Menke, who captained the 1880 foot
ball team at c. u, was one of the
best guards ever developed at that
institution. He played two years under
Jack McAuliffe and one under Berg
man. For two years he has volun-
tarily helped Coach Young.
He graduated from the Brookland
institution in 1880, but stayed over q
year to earn his masters degree. In
the Summer of 1881 he went to the
University Of Berlin, where he was
awarded a certificate. He has also had
o year Of law at George Washington.
Coach Young was disappointed at
the loss last Saturday to Langley Field,
yet the showing the Eagles made
against the heavier and more expert
enced eleven somewhat Offset the
sting of defeat.
The Eagles outplayed their opponents
the greater part Of the game and a
flock of Aviator substitutes were
needed to stem q determined drive by
the tired A. U. players in the final
quarter.

THE SPORWIGHT
Navy's Great Variety of Open Plays
Amazes i'm Crushing Defeat of Lions
BY GRANTLAND RICE

feature contests of the day. Wide open
means more than mere forward pass
ing. It means variety, where laterals
are mixed In with backward f1ips.
Holy Cross, held even for three Pc
RODS by Harvard, showed again the
effectiveness OF the air route.
Any such varied passing mixture,
well directed, breaks down the mental
balance of any defense, continually
guessing where the next bomb will ex-
plode.
Yet I doubt that any team in the
country on Saturday had q better all
around open assault than the Navy
used to stop Columbia's long-unbeaten
march, dating back to last october.
Navy has rough seas ahead with
Pennsylvania, w. and L., Notre Dame,
Pittsburgh and the Army, but If the
lighter Midshipmen can stand up un-
der the physical battering without too
many casualties, they will annoy more
than one of these major rivals before
the season ends.
The Clatter OF Crowns.
THERE was the usual clatter OF
crowns on Saturday. Such
strong teams as Pittsburgh,
Texas. Tennessee, Columbia, Colgate,
Fordham and Harvard slipped from
the list Of the unbeaten, while Prince
ton, Tulane and Vanderbilt, among
others, missed the guillotine by only
half a step. Washington and Lee
had the Tiger almost crowded from
the Jungle before lie Van stepped
in.
The three most unexpected
returns were Yale's heavy mar
gin over Brown, 81 points; Iowa
States 81 points against Iowa,
and Western Maryland's 40
points against Boston College.
Alabama now leads the Dixie pa
rade, with Tulane and Duke close
behind. Minnesota and Chicago head

strongest teams 1884 can show. Michi-
gan State, outside of the conference.
can't be overlooked.
Army, Holy Cross, Yale, Navy, Syra-

main unwhipped among the Eastern
leaders. with Dartmouth facing her
first test Saturday against Harvard
as Army steps into her first hct spot
against Yale. Iowa State, Stanford
Washington and Santa Clara still sre
holding on beyond the span Of Old
Man River in the West. It fell to the

New Style Pass
Wreaking Havoc
BY ANDREW KERR,
Head Foot Ball Coach. COLGATE Uni
VerSlty.

Head Foot Ball Coach. Colgate Uni
HAMILTON, N. Y, October
n 22.-Never so early in the
season have foot ball games
bristled with open play. On many
gridirons the air was virtually
filled with flying foot balls from
forward and lateral passes, both
down the field, beyond the scrim-
mage line and behind the scrim-
mage.
There has come into promi-
nence in the last few weeks a
new type of forward pass. This
pass is started either by double
or triple passes behind the line
of scrimmage, followed by a
lateral pass to another back
deeper behind the line of Scrim-
mage. This back, after much ball
handling, has been throwing long
passes down the field. This type
of pass, used by Illinois, virtually
defeated Ohio State. A maneuver
of this kind scored the winning
touchdown for Minnesota over
Pittsburgh. Both Ohio State and
Colgate used this type of forward
pass effectively at Columbus.

TINE boys and girls who follow
i scholastic foot ball are all
worked up over the annual
Central-Tech game tomorrow in the
Central Stadium at $3.50 pm.
The yearly scrap between the Blue
and the Gray, started way back in
1902, ever has been the high spot of
the schoolboy foot ball grid campaign
here. This year 1t has taken on
added importance following the stun
ming upset Eastern pulled last Tues
day in fighting the vaunted Tech
team to 90 tie in the opening
game of the public high series.
Central, its pre-series record no.
where near so impressive as Techs,
previously had little hopes of con-
uuering the Gray. But that's all diff
ferent now If Eastern can pull a
Surrrise Central figures it can. too.
The Blue and Gray have met 81
times in championship contests. fall
ing to meet only in the war year Of
1918. Tech has won IA of the games
and central II, the other FIVE having
ended in ties.
