Colgate Plays Syracuse.

MO OTHER Eastern team looks as
~ strong as these two except
Syracuse and Colgate, who meet
this week for the thirty-sixth time
since 1891. Syracuse is one of the few
unbeaten and united survivors and
is out for its first victory over Colgate
since 1924. 1t will be hard to bet
against the tricky Red Raiders, who
lost an early decision to Ohio State,
but made up for that Saturday by
Talloping Tulane.
Some Of the other old rivalries look
a bit lopsided with Dartmouth ap-

stocky halfbacks who knew how to step
around, with the able Kern acting as
the main and central threat.
This uniformity of Colgate speed was
one Of her strongest points Her block

Tulane's weakness against q passing
attack again developed where, on at

out-foxed, not out-speeded.

OFFICER IS FACING
GRAND JURYPR0BE
Army Man Alleged to Have
Taken Fees From Pri.
Vate Firms.
BY REX COLLIER.

Evidence purportlng to involve an
Army officer on duty at the War
Department in connection with pay
ment of fees from private firms doing
business with the department will be
presented to the grand jury here
within a week or two.
The case against the officer has
been under investigation for several
months by Department of Justice
agents and members Of a House mill
tary affairs subcommittee.
The grand jury proceedings in this
case are said to be the forerunner of
broad inquiry into War Department
business dealings to be made by the
grand jurors when the House group
completes its own investigation.
A second Army officer is known to
be involved in allegations made to
the House committee during the past
week The committee has intensified
its inquiry as result of testimony
and documents received behind closed
doors from mystery witness"
Frank E. Speicher.
Dozen Others Called.
Speicher's testimony, supplemented
by what Chairman John j. McSWain
describes as "a little black Satchel"
full of documentary evidence. prompt
ed the committee to summon hastily
more than a dozen other witnesses
whose names are we'll known in mill
tary and industrial circles.
Some of these witnesses had been
cushioned previously by the COM
mittee and by grand jury which,
several months ago. refused to re-
turn indictments but was moved to
condemn lobbying conditions at the
War Department.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen J. Krouse has been sitting with
the committee in its executive Ses-
sions as representative of United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett.
This unusual action was taken be-
cause of the serious nature of charges
made by Speicher to Department OF
Justice agents, who located him in
New York City after a Nationwide
search.
The committee has summoned a
number of additional witnesses for
the coming week. The hearings will
continue in executive session for sew
eral days, but may be opened to the
public later.
Ralph T. ONeil, former national
commander of the American Legion,
was interrogated by the committee
yesterday. O'Neil had been questioned
by the committee during earlier
phases of the inquiry, and he was a
witness before the grand jury which
criticized lobbying at the War De-
partment.
