COLLEGE RULES

GRID CLASH
BY JOHN C. HOFFMAN


CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-An all
America football team takes
tangible form for the first time
tonight to settle the question of
supremacy against the Chicago
Bears, champions Of the PROBES
sional gridiron world, in a battle
at Soldiers Field.
The game will be played under
the collegiate football rules.
Thirty.four of the best college
football players Of 1888, chosen
by popular vote and coached by
four of the country's leading
coaches, will do battle against
the widely.experienced Bears, cap
tanned by Harold Red" Grange.
$4,000 Expected
An estimated 10000 persons will
crowd the huge stadium on the
lake front to the Mikulaks, Grit
fiths, Skladanys, Bernards and
SchwammellS do or die against
the championship steam roller OF
the professional department game.
The battle will be waged under
a lighting system arranged espe-
cially for the occasion. Warm.
cloudy weather that threatened
rain was promised for the charity
spectacle.
VIII EnIighten
Tonight's game will serve to
enlighten fans as to how an aggre'
cation Of all-Americaas, hereto
fore only q creation Of fancy,
would actually fare on a football
field.

Harris Losing Favor
A hardy youth came down from
the North, fresh from Boston with
a cargo of rumors. According tc
the gossip circulating around the
Fenway, "Bucky" Harris Is IN dill
Guilty and perhaps will not return
to the Hub next year. If the gos
SIP is correct. and the tale is
along purely as gossip
Roger Peckinpaugh may assume
the management of the Yawkey
Collins forces.
It is well known in American
League circles that Peck had come
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-08-31

| to an understanding with Collins
and Yawkey last year. In fact,
the deal progressed to a point
where Peck told some of his
friends in confidence that he was
going to manage the Red Sox.
However, before the world series
last year was finished, the deal
was switched and Harris became
leader.
Peckinpaugh was almost discon-
solate at the loss of the plum al
ready in his hands as he thought,
but Eddie Collins did not wholly
desert him. Peckinpaugh was APP
pointed manager of the Kansas
City club in the American Asso-
citation, signed to one-year con-
tract which expires at the end Of
this season.
Peck May Be Next
If there is any foundation TO
the rumors that Harris and the
"front office" at Fenway Park do
not speak except when necessary,
you can bet all the marbles that
Peck will be the next manager OF
the Red Sox.
You can gather plenty OF gossip
as you meander along the line
here at Yankee Stadium, and yes

on this hole in four days and the

Mcnamara coached at Dewitt

Field Purchased
The school has recently pur-
chased a new home which has So
odd acres of land in Bradley Lane,
Bethesda, Md, and has started
building a modern football field.
Heretofore the school never had
a gridiron it could call its own.
This situation found the team hik-

practice sessions and regular
games.
Now, with the field only a cou'

Despite operation of the Hid

POOLE DIRECTS.
Bic HOUSING
CAMPAIGN
Will Have Control of Effort
To Speed undermining of
D. C. Property

With the appointment today OF
a Salaried executive director who
will handle the major details OF
the drive, Washington's housing
campaign is scheduled to begin
operations on large scale within
the next few days.
Thomas P. Littlepage, who is
the chairman Of the drive but re
ceives no pay, today announced
that John Poole, former president
of the Federal-American National
Bank and former president of the
District Bankers Association, has
been named the executive di.
rector.
Mr.. Poole will be in charge OF
the local housing headquarters,
located in ground floor space in
the Shoreham Building. The
SPACE has been donated bv the
owners of the building, through
arrangements made with its
agents, Weaver Brothers.
Plan Is Educational
The campaign will be designed
to acquaint residents throughout
the city with the plans of the Fed
eral Housing Administration to
assist property owners to mod
ernize" their buildings.
Almost any sort of edifice-
from a home to a factory-may
be repaired or improved under the
FILA plans. Loans for the work
are made available at inexpensive
rates by private financial institu-
tions, like banks and building and
loan associations.
The loans are, in effect, unse-
cured by any collateral. They may
range from 500 to $4,000, and be
repaid in monthly installments
over periods from one to five
years.
Mr.. Poole will have associated
with him at the headuarterS a
small paid staff of assistants and
clerks, who will help with CORE
spondence and other necessary de-
tails.
CanvaSSerS Unpaid
All other work-such as that Of
committees and that of the men
and women workers who will
stage a house-to-house canvass
will be purely honorary and un-
paid.
It is planned to present a giant
exhibit on "modernization" in the
large space donated by the Shore
ham Building. Here citizens will
be given ideas on improving their
holdings, many of them so de-
signed that the property owner
will save enough money to pay for
not only the improvements but to
gain additional cash as well.
Mr.. Littlepage, well-known local
attorney and civic leader, is the
person directly in charge Of the
entire drive. He is assisted by an
executive committee of prominent
Washingtonians.

SEAL OFFERED.
SURPLUS MILK
FOR NEEDY
Two Quarts Daily Available
for Each Relief Family,
Says Local Official

There is now enough surplus
milk daily in the hands Of District
of Columbia diaries to provide
two quarts a day for each family
on relief, according to Elwood
Seal, assistant corporation counsel.
Mr.. Seal has received word now
from the majority of large dairy
companies here offering to CO.
operate in the District Commits
sioners' plan to take the surplus
milk at a low price and distri-
butte it to families on relief.
Although there has been some
discussion as to the amount Of
surplus milk, Mr.. Seal has de-
finite proposals today amounting
to 5000 gallons daily which he
says. will give two quarts of milk
a day to 1880 families.
The next step will be for the
District Commissioners to author
lL6 Vie PuACAAcRoC'
Conference Today
Meanwhile. it was thought pos
sible that further discussion of
the relief milk project here will
be held at a conference today
between representatives of ma
tional and local agencies.
The meeting at the office Of
DR.. Frederic C. Howe, consumers
counsel for the AAA, will be at
tended by DR.. Howe, MIR. Seal,
Mrs. John Boyle, consumers coun-
sci for the District; Matthew
Boyd, special labor adviser on the
NRA milk code, and Father John
Ryan, economist at Catholic Uni
versity.
While it was possible that the
relief question might be brought
up in the conference today, the
main purpose of the meeting. it
was understood, is to consider
what steps may be taken to meet
the demand of the dairy farmers
in this area for an increase of
one cent for their product.
Price Boost Threatened
The distributors here have as
serted that if this additional cent
must be paid the producers, they
will have to raise the retail price
Of milk accordingly.
The group which is to meet to-
day is specifically interested in
the retail price of milk at
a minimum, and some means may
be developed today to stem the
demand of the producers.

"He's going to Slip" a thin
voice piped ShrilIy,

"He'S going to Slip" a thin
voice piped shrilly.
All eyes were trained on the
center ring. There the NAM
moth jungle cats paced, captive
and restless. Clyde Beatty faced
the group of lions. leopards and
royal Bengal tigers.
He limped. Rajah. fiercest of
the animal actors, glared and
slashed the air.
Under the big top" of the
Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, the
strained faces of attendants
peered into the ring-cage. Just
three weeks ago Rajah made the
same gesture. Then the tigers
huge claw tore the trainers whip
from Beatty'S hands and swiftly,
as if knowing his advantage,
Rajah clawed for Beatty's re-
volver. The weapon exploded
and buried its blank shell in the
trainers leg.
Beatty Carries On
But yesterday Beatty did not
slip. He moved slowly as if in
pain. Sixteen stitches were nee
essary to close up the shell wound
and those stitches were still in
his leg. Rajah tore at the whip
and the other beasts glared, but
the trainer was master of the
situation and soon the tiger
groveled before his master, turn
ing over and over at the bidding
of Beatty'S hand.
Another chapter in the saga of
life under the big top was enacted
as the circus opened it's two-day
performance yesterday on the
grounds near Fifth Street and
Florida Avenue Northeast. Friends
of the stellar animal trainer
argued that he was in no condi-
ton to appear with his cats, but
for Beatty there's tradition. The
show must go on.
So it was with other members
of the circus troupe. The Four
Polls were injured in a recent per-
