From $500 miles away, it is
more than ordinarily difficult to
form a very definite opinion, but
one is forced to wonder if STAN
ford was not hit by demoraliza-
ton in that second quarter, when
'Bama scored % points through
the medium of three touchdowns
and field goal, two of the
touchdowns and the field goal
coming after the Crimson Tide
forward passing attack had
functioned, or after the Stanford
defense against the overhead
play had failed, depending on
how you want to look at it.
Lacked Field Leader
Decisive action and the steady
ing influence upon his mates by
a strong captain will stop demor-
alization from spreading through
a team or through a number of
units on an eleven. Evidently,
Stanford lacked a strong field
leader, or possibly Coach Tiny
Thornhill failed to train such a
captain. Possible proof of the
fact that Stanford was demoral-
lied lies in the fact that the
Indian players were unable to
stop Alabama'S passes.
Generally it is understood that

see him dethroned, nowadays
than to see him victorious.

Famous Castle Silver
Goes for Only $1,10O

It was a different sort of crowd
at Henderson Castle today when
the auction of the Henderson
chattels went into it's third day
after a holiday yesterday.
The curiosity seekers were ab-
sent. Fur-coated women and sub
stantial looking gentlemen quietly
took their seats and settled down
to earnest bidding for what they
wanted.
But the vaunted Henderson sill.
yer collection proved a bagatelle.
The lot went for little more than
$1,100. Old retainers about the
place, however, said the collection
was just a fraction of what Mrs.
Mary Henderson once possessed.
The rest already had been dis
posed of to relatives and other
legatees.
Sale Starts With Bang
The auction started off with a
bang when Mrs. George Burnham,
cf the Mayflower Hotel, topped ali
other bids and paid 1888 for "a
English silver gilt service plates.
The bidding started in the lower
hundreds, but with Auctioneer
Adam Weschler applying his
mildly cauStic oral goad the
The Washington times., 1935-02-07

figures rose rapidly. It was the
biggest sale of the day.
Twelve English gilt dinner forks
went for $45 to Mrs. Burnham, as
did "a English gilt dessert spoons
for $98. Then Mrs. Burnham
called it a day and the II silver
gilt dinner forks went to Mrs. L.
MalkuS, 7400 block Alaska Ave-,
for $40.
Mrs. B. Cheatham, 1882 I st. N.
w., took IL silver gilt luncheon
forks for $33.
Oddities Are Sold
That was the end of the silver
sale and then they brought forth
a collection of fans, feathers,
swords, bits of lace, and odd pieces
of bric-a-brac. The bidding to-
bogganed from the hundreds down
to the SIS, los, and 15s.
The auctioneer shouted at al
most totally silent customers.
They were waiting for the opening
Of the huge chests of draperieS,
embroideries, and expensive old
laces that were to be put on the
block later in the day.
Included also in today's sale
were about 1000 books, including
historical, biographical, art, travel,
and other works, including not a
few classics.

PROPOSED
House Group Postpones
Further Hearings Until
Saturday Morning

Establishment of a commercial
airport at Gravelly Point was
urged today by civic and busl-
ness leaders appearing before q
subcommittee of the House Dis.
trict Committee.
Outlining reasons why Gravelly
Point should be chosen in pref.
erence to scores of other sites
that have been suggested, Repre-.
sentative Howard w. Smith CD
Of Virginia said Gravelly Point
is the only practical site and
I'VE ought to stop talking about
it and do something"
Reasons For Action
Representative Smith, author of
a bill which would establish the
airport at Gravelly Point, told the
committee that he based his rec
concentrations on the fact that
Gravelly Point is only 10 minutes
by motor from the Capital, that it
has facilities for land and sea.
planes that it fits in with the
comprehensive program of the Ma
tlona1 Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and that this site can
be expanded when necessary.
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, said the
commission had been studying the
problem of providing washington
with a suitable airport for the
last nine years and that it strongly
recommends Gravelly Point in
preference to 48 sites which have
been suggested. The other sites,
Mr.. Settle explained, are either
too small or too far from the city.
Miller Urges Action
Clarence Miller, chairman of
the aviation committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, said
his organization was strongly in
favor of the Gravelly Point site
and urged immediate action for
initiation of development of an
airport there.

That was some stunt Of the

call beating the finance COM

Well it serves the crooks right
:. Instead Of stealing them, why
didn't they buy the cars, and
not pay for them, like a gen.
