Cotton Grooms
'CIementsfor
C.U.LinePost

One Of the stiffeSt tasks that
Line Coach Fod Cotton has to face
this season in regard to the Cath
olic University forward wall is to
groom a man to fill the tackle
position left vacant by the gradua-
ton Of Capt. Bill Confer.
Confer is one of the greatest
football players to have led the
Cardinal team in the past couple
Of years. The fact that he played
on the right side of the line last
season somewhat dimmed his
work. 1t so happens that the
majority of enemy plays are run
off from the left, which generally
hits the right side of the line, and
consequently star linemen are
buried at the bottom of many
plays. Such was the case of Bill
Confer last season.
Resides in BalIston
This year Cotton is grooming
Ed Clements, the former Dewitt
Prep School lad, for the vacancy.
Clements lives in Ballston, Va.
and before enrolling at Dewitt
played three seasons at Washing
ton-Lee High School. However.
most of his playing days found
him at q center post.
Clements cracks the scales in
the neighborhood of 215 pounds
and is built like an OK. All sum.
mer he pushed beer kegs around
with a local brewery establish
ment. Consequently, what obesity
that is on his gigantic frame has
been turned into ribbons of Drawn.
Last season, the General, as his
teammates call him, was a Substi-
tute for Captain Confer. How.
ever, his term in active varsity
play was somewhat limited as
Confer was Workhorse and as
dependable along the first-string
forward wall as Ed Karpowich,
the captain of this seasons Car
dinal team.
elements has the makings,"
Cotton says, "and should bios
som out into fine tackle with
the seasoning he will get this
campaign should he hold up"
WEATHER INTERFERES AGAIN
For the fifth straight day, the
Cardinal football squad has been
obliged to remain indoors because
of the rainy weather conditions.
Coach Bergman is little dismayed,
as his charges are busily engaged
with practicing the new shift, in
running signal plays.
Last season and throughout
spring training, the Cardinal back
field used the regular Notre Dame
crossover, but at the start of drill
festivities this week, Bergman in,
stalled a new shift. 1t is a right
behind the left on plays to the
left and vice versa for plays to the
right-left behind the right. In
this manner the back shifts with
out swinging the upper section of
his body.

Kirk Miller Says:

(Continued from First Sports Page,
over the monopolistic attitude
which our nimble fight fathers
have ever held toward single
blessedness insofar as awarding
Mondays to promoters is con-
cerned.
Mondays and Tuesdays have
ever proven the most satisfac-
tory nights hereabouts for stag
ing fights. Those nights seemed
to be anchored in the public
mind as fight nights, just as
when you and I were young,
Maurice. Saturday night was
bath night and Sunday was
church-going day.
But with one promoter having
all the Monday dates, the posi-
bility of another coming along
with a Tuesday program is out
of the question, because Wash
ington can't take that much
punishment in two successive
evenings. Too. rain on a Mon
day night in the summer would
put the Monday program over
until Tuesday, and we would be
in the position Of having two
fight cards for one night. some
few rabid fans holding tickets
for both programs.
Not the Intention
Now I don't think Congress
meant for any one promoter to
ever get the upper hand on box
ing in Washington when it
gave us that boxing law 18
months ago. But those who
have been administering that
law have very successfully, per-
sistently and consistently ma
nipulated it that way.
Their latest adherence to such
a weak-minded. trembling-kn -kneed,
single-track policy is an insult
to the theory of equality in civic
government. It is a slap in the
face for the American Legion,
of which there are 10000 mem
bers in the washington area.
From now on, as in the past
several months, you've got to
take what one promoter wants
to give you, or go elsewhere to
see bouts. That is not a healthy
or normal business condition,
here or anywhere.
The commission has yielded
to Turner's admonition that cuts
from his gate have been almost
the sole source of money for
their treasury.
What will the commission do
for money should Turner grow
tired of staying in the fight
business and continuing to lose
money, as he has asserted on
many occasions he has done
nothing else but?
BAH"

THE PEACEFUL" SLUM

Suit by a property owner stopped
for atime the effort of the govern
ment to clear a slum in Washington
The matter was settled out Of court;
but the owner declared that the prop
erty condemned was "well kept up, 9
constituted quiet, peaceful conmu-
nifty" and that the government should
not interfere with it.
Investigation showed
That the houses in the row to b
torn down have no gas, no cleo
tricity. no running water, except a
hydrant in the rear Of each house.
That sewage water is poured down
open catch basins besides the hy-
drants.
That the houses are damp and mil
dewy, and inhabited only by those
too poor to get anything better.
In England. that property owner
would have got nothing except the
price Of her land, Here, she got tidy
sum in addition. That is why slum
clearing is cheaper and goes faster
in England than in America.

FRANK MOVE
To Restore NRA Wages and
Hours

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-A joint
resolution is pending before the house
labor committee permitting govern.
ment departments to accept bids from
contractors made under conditions
prescribed in NRA codes, if the bidder
agrees to obey future minimum wage
and maximum hour provisions.
This resolution was introduced ir
the senate by Senator David /. Walsh
of Massachusetts. 1t was reported
Friday, July 19; passed Saturday
July 90 and was referred to the
labor committee of the house the
same day. In spite of the fact that
this committee is busy with other i'm
portant legislation, the general belief
on the Hill is that the resolution will
be reported and passed at an early
date.
Senator Walsh explained that the
education and labor committee of the
senate is considering a bill to fix labor
standards for government contractors
and that the resolution would allow ac-
ceptance Of bids pending the passage
of the BILL
Also, the resolution meets the OBJ
lection raised by McCarl, that such
q plan required congress to act, and
could not be put in force by order Of
the president.
