Georgetown won the game on
the second from last play of the
contest when the HoyaS executed
a beautiful forward pass from
Georgetown's 45-yard line, caught
Pitt mapping and accounted for
the touchdown.
The game was played on Jimmy
DeHart's field of cloth laid out on
a bridge table. Harry Costello,
quarterback on Georgetown's 1911
team, represented Georgetown,
while DeHart, Pitts great field
general of 1916, guided the
Panthers.
When the teams lined up for
the start of the game, Pitt kicked
off. From then until the final
whistle sounded, it was nip and
tuck, with first one team, then the
other, going into the ascendancy.
Quite a. crowd of spectators
wached the game, called Monday
Morning Coach" and invented by
DeHart, who has had wide expert
ence as a player, coach and Of
ficial.
The game is so like football as
actually played, and has been so
! accurately figured out by DeHart,
The Washington times., 1934-10-12

that it proved almost as enthral
ling as a real game between
Georgetown's 1911 team and Pitts
1916 outfit would have been had
the contest been staged on a real
gridiron instead Of on a bridge
table.
Monday Morning Coach Is en-
tertaining and coaches all over the
country have hailed DeHart's in
vention as the greatest game Of its
kind ever offered the public.
Every fan will find the game in
teresting and educational (from
the standpoint of footbalD. BY
playing the game, even the novice
may master inside football, may
learn rules and may enjoy game
of football at one and the same
time.
DeHart must have spent many,
many nights figuring this game
out. So accurately is it planned
that chance plays only a minor
part in the contest. The good
quarterback, playing this game,
will find that he must bring into
play all his ability as a field gen
eral if pitted against another
field general.

Gone are the days when South
west was represented on the drives
by formidable team or a top
notch bowler.
Local bowling is booming in
every section Of the city now
adays with the exception of
Southwest. This region is the
only one that does not possess a
bowling alley. At one time South
west had a first rate duckpin
combination which was known
as the Southwest All-Stars and
had two outstanding bowlers liv-
ing in its midst. The pin spill
ers who used to dwell there were
RED" Megaw, battle Scared vet
eran of many campaigns, and
Dutch" Newman, a fine tourna-
ment bowler.
Southwest devotes most Of its
time to football, baseball and
basketball. For more than 20
years it has been represented by
potent football, baseball and bas-
ketball aggregations namely Mer-
curry A. c., Palace A. c., Domini-
can LyceumS and Auths.
, Southwest is also proud of the
fact that two of the best racing
bicycle riders in the city make
their home there. They are Ralph
jackson, present champion, and
Ed Bieber, former champion.
Bill Krauss is the latest Dis
trict duckpinner to challenge
Joe Harrison's supremacy on
the mapleways.
Young Krauss, brother Of the
famous Harry and Lonnie
KrausS, established a new high
game mark, 1872, in the District
League for the current season
last night, which aided Colum-
bia to chalk up a record high
team game for the season 705.
Krauss had a 416 set. How
ever, the big team game did a
little good, Columbia dropped
two contests to the New Center
Market.

Missouri Judge Refuses Injunc.
tion Against Electric Plant
Construction.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, November Con
eress has the power under the Consti-
tuition to appropriate money for loans
and grants to municipalities to relieve
unemployment, Federal Judge Merrill
e. Otis ruled today in refusing to en-
join the city OF California, Mo-.
against construction of a municipal
electric plant.
The suit was brought by the Mis-
souri, Utilities Co. of Cape Girardeau
Mo-, and named the city. its officials.
the Fairbanks Morse Construction Co..
and Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior and Federal emergency ad-
ministrator of public works. as de-
PENDANTS.
An adverse ruling on a similar case
was returned six weeks ago by Fedora
Judge Albert L. Reeves in case in
volving construction of public utility
by the city of Concordia, Mo.
Two essential distinctions between
the Concordia and California cases
were pointed out by Judge Otis
In the Concordia case the Missouri
Public Service Co. had a franchise
from the city. The plaintiff in this
case has no franchise; it was only q
certificate of convenience and neceS-
sity from the Public Service Commits
sion. Moreover in the Concordia case
reliance for constitutionality of title
two (of the national industrial re-
covery acD was put solely on the
commerce c1allSe of the Constitution
"In this case the defendants do not
rely on the commerce clause. but
solely on the general welfare clause.

GARNETT DECLINES
TO ANSWER LA ROE
U. S. Attorney Says He Will Not
Engage in Newspaper"
Debate on Paroles.

United States Attorney Leslie C..
Garnett last night declined to en-
gage in a newspaper controversy"
with Wilbur La Roe, jr-, member of
the District Parole Board. as to
whether the parole system con-
tributes to laWlessness.
La Roe yesterday wrote to Garnett
challenging the latter to prove state
ments to this effect made on Monday
night at q law and order mass meet
ing in the Mayflower Hotel. Upon
receiving the letter, Garnett gave the
following statement:
''Mr. La Roe's letter was given to
the press before it reached my ofiice.
I will not enter into q newspaper
controversy over whether or not easy
and early parole and the probation OF
housebreakers and robbers are deter
rents to crime. My position upon this
subject is known to the public. and
in any event all good citizens should
be able to agree that the laws should
be strengthened 50 that crime may be
less attractive, more easily discover
able, and more certainly punished"
Evening star., 1934-11-02

mum for q certain oflense might be
2 years and the maximum 20 years.
The Judge has no alternative in pre-
scribing the sentence. 1t must run
from to 20 years. At the end Of 2
years the prisoner would be eligible
for parole. Then it would be within
the discretion of the Parole Board to
determine whether the prisoner Is
fitted to return to society, or whether
he should continue to remain in con-
finement
Herein lies Garnett's chief criticism
Of the law At the anti-crime rally
the other night he declared:
Under this law q man can walk
into bank and steal 81 900 900, and
the highest penalty we can give him
is two years, at which time he will be
eligible for parole under q 10-year
sentence.
More than so per cent of prisoners
eligible for probation get it. This law
should be changed. Probation has
failed in the District"
La Roe insists the law has not
failed. He points out that not one of
the ITS prisoners released by the Pa
role Board since its creation has COM
mitted a serious crime or subjected
any resident of the District to serious
injury since the time of his release.
My memory tells me" said La Roe,
that Of all the ITS prisoners released
by our board, only four have COM
mitted crimes that could be called
serious, there being one case of rob-
berry in another jurisdiction and three
cases Of Joy riding in the District.
I'm only one of these three latter
cases has there been q conviction"
