General Hugh S. johnson,
Dear General:
Don't you think you ought to
remind those nice publishers
that since Mr.. Ralph Pulitzer,
who has just come down from
New York to administer the
newspaper code has given up
running papers, he has taken
to hunting tigers in Africa and
lions in Asia. Or is it lions in
Africa and Tigers In Asia-I get
so confused. All Of you ought
to try to remember, General,
that as a big game hunter, Mr..
Pulitzer brings down his "wilde
beeste" with every shot.
Lovingly yours,
PHYLLIS
Another exciting New Yorker,
whom dear Phyllis has over
looked is also in town. The
lovely Marie Hartman has been
floating about from embassy to
embassy and looking more al
Turing at each public appear
ance. Mrs. Hartman, who is
now the wife of Averill Harri-
man, was Marie Norton before
her marriage to Sonny" Whit
ney.
Though cheerfully admitting
the Importance of Averlll, I do
insist that Marie Hartman is
a personality in her own right.
She conducts the famous Har-
riman Gallery in New York.
Her canvases of modern art
are remarkably successful and
drive the critics into enthusi-
asm and the guests at her
"previeWs" into extravaganza.
What more could be asked OF
q canvas?
Always chic and amusing,
Mrs. Hartman is so beautiful
that she dares wear horn
trimmed spectacles, when she
feels so disposed and has been
known to chew gum.
Which reminds me--the chew.
ing of gum, I mean--that
smart New Yorkers are now
chewing gum with more o" less
abandon. trust it is a fad
that will not soon overtake the
populace of Washington. I was
about to venture something
pretty feeble to the effect that
the capital pastime of chew
ing the rag gives sufficient eX-
ercise to the lower Jaw to per-
NIT economy in gum chewing,
But I won't really go into that
comparison seriously.
Imagine us, down here in
Washington, already in a frenzy
over where to seat our guests,
having the additional chore of
providing eight kinds of chew
ing gum to suit eight guests of
different taste. Perhaps the
State Department, always So
cially helpful, might establish a
chewing gum protocol.
Sophisticated New York is
often only sophomore. Two
years ago I was out in the wilds
of the Middle West, in the city
of Omaha, Nebraska. After the
incest dinners and luncheons-
and NebraSkans are exquisite
hosts-plates of different kinds
of chewing gum were passed
with the coffee. One selected
ones favorite brand, bit in, and
chewed heartily.
"Just a wild prairie town 60
ing wilder every hour" thought
privately.
But no, I was wrong. The
Middle West was setting pace
for New York.
An enormous moving var
drew up in front of the Junior
League headquarters on Con
necticut Avenue, above Dupont
Circle. Having laboriously
parked, the driver, in the best
moving van manner, ran to lei
down the back of the van, sc
that his freight might be de
posted on the side walk. His
job ended abruptly. The furni
ture moved of its own accord

for Incurables this afternoon.
The president and board mana
gers issued invitations for the

been given such a hard fight by his

kins, shares the honor of being the
Old Liners oldest and most continu-
Gus gridiron foe. both being met back
in 1892. the first year that the game
was put on an organized basis at Col
lege Park.
In the 30 games that have been
placed in the records. Maryland has
won 16. ST. Johns has prevailed in 13
and l was a 6-to-6 deadlock. There
has been a number of lapses in the
series, with the longest being from
1923 to 1890.
st. Johns won all its games except
one, prior to 1913. taking dozen of
the first 18 contests, losing only and
gaining the 6-6 tie that occurred in
1900.
Maryland started its upward march
in foot ball in 1918, and in the dozen
games played since that time st. John S
has scored just once, registering a
stunning 7-to-3 upset in 1921 at An
napolis.
St. Johns is coached by Todie
Riggs. Maryland 81. who starred in
foot ball and base ball for the Old

cut out for him to beat Ohio. Ohio
IS said to be so good that it was COM
PEELED to take its star quarterback OF
last year, a man who got All-America
mention, out of the position and re-
place him with better player. If the
rest of the backfield measures up to
that standard then Indiana's defense
will meet a severe test.
Out on the Pacific Coast the best
game appears to be that between
Santa Clara and Stanford. On more
than one occasion Santa Clara has
made Saturday afternoons miserable
for California elevens.
Two games are scheduled tonight
that may produce fireworks. Bucknell
and Davis Elkins should show plenty
of good foot ball, while West Virginia
and Duquesne offer an attraction more
befitting later date.

The showing of the Tech. Central

indicate that neither Central. which
won the title last year after Tech had
captured it five years in a row, nor
Eastern has sufficient seasoned mate
rial as compared with Tech. Central
appears particularly unimpressive.

no chance for the flag.

Twins got the range in the third quar-

another in the final period as Lee
Zones did some nifty broken-field run
ming to score after a 45-yard run.
Shu, Varney. Ewald and Nugent
collaborated to get the ball in posi-
ton for the first touchdown. Shu final
ly plowing through after a stubborn

Fones, fading back as if to pass
in the final quarter, suddenly darted
around right end and got away to
register the second touchdown.

chief ground gamers.
