SIX GAMES ON SCHEDULE TO-DAY FOR SCHOLA&

Warriors
BY GARRETT WATERS

Football day is around once
again for teams in the scholastic
group.
The Washington times., 1935-10-11

The feature lists Eastern against
st. Johns at the Eastern Stadium
at $3.50 o'clock. This is an annual
tussle between the two teams
and should result in some in
teresting football despite the fact
Eastern is the heavy favorite
to triumph.
The co-feature is the Roosevelt
Gonzaga clash at the Roosevelt
Stadium at the same hour. This
also is an annual contest, but in
this instance the battling will
serve to put both squads into tip
top condition-something both are
somewhat behind due to handi-
caps in practice sessions.
Central and Western play out-of
town games. The Mt. Pleasanters
journey to Norfolk, Va, to meet
the Maury High School eleven of
that city, while Western jumps
that city, while Western entertains
George Washington High at Alex
andria, at $3.50 p. m. in the West
ern Stadium.
st. Adams plays the only other
"city" contest of the day. The
Wisconsin Avenue lads entertain
the Boys Latin Gridders at St.
Adams at $3.50 p. m. Friends
completes the action by meeting
Stuyvesant High at Manassas. Va.
Landon Prep breaks into the
spotlight tomorrow. The little
school out Bradley Lane way jour-
neys to Wilmington, Del, to meet
st. Andrews High. This game will
mark the debut of the Landons
and from all reports a victory is
expected. The youngster% are
that well balanced this year in the
matter of football material.
Teachings of the week will be
watched in all these games by the
coaches of the various teams.
Most important will be blocking.
Boyd to Watch
Coach Boyd at Eastern, particu-
1arly, will have on eye on his East
ern warriors. Boyd this year has
taken leaf from Coach Hap Har-
dell'S notebook from Tech High.
HardeI, as most every Scholas.
tic follower knows, stresses block
ing in his drills more than any,
thing else. Boyd has followed the
procedure ever since starting at
Eastern.
Close observers already are con-
tending Eastern will have the best
blocking team this year in several
moons. For Coach Artie has
spent hours and hours teaching
the thing to his men and if perse-
verance means anything at all
the Lincoln Parkers will be a
blocking collection of football
players from the start of each
game to the last.

Jones Chances
Trojdns Team

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11.-Al-
though not assigned to a starting
role, Glenn Thompson may prove
Southern California's chief hope
to stem the invasion of Illinois
in the interSectional football game
here tomorrow.
This was evident today when it
was learned Howard Jones had de.
viSed several new pass plays to
beat his arch foe, Bob Zuppke, at
his own game. And when it comes
to passing Thompson is head and
shoulders the best paSser on the
squad. as well as one of the hard.
est runners.
Nick Pappas, who has become
an overnight sensation at Troy,
will start at quarterback.
Jones will start seven new var
sity players, Pappas at quarter,
Rose at halfback. Hansen at half
back, Gaisford and Williams at
end and Brousseau at guard.

GLEN MCCARTHY
AT THE RACES

A Jacksonville (Fla.) reader Of
these items asks:
If a race were to have only three
starters, place mutuelS were sold
and the public bet identical
amounts on each horse to place,
would that place pool prove a los
ing proposition for the track df
the take" were 8 per cent and
breakage to the nickel?
No, it would not. Each Of the
two placed horses would pay $2.70,
and there would be for the aSso-
citation, in addition to its take"
a breakage amounting to one-quar-
ter of the take.
The Jacksonville horse player
then goes on: Last Saturday, at
Hawthorne, no place pools were
sold on the Gold Cup race, won by
Discovery. Four horses ran, none
were coupled in the betting. Was
such an action by the association
justifiable?
Personally I do not think so.
Track and mutuel managers would
try to justify the absence of a
place pool on the Discovery race
by pointing out: That unless Dis
covery broke a leg, or was left
hopelessly at the start, he must
run at least as good as second. So
much money would be bet on him
for the place, by cinch players and
those who counted upon the long
est shot in the race running Sec

>the Discovery race so lopsided, be-
cause of Top Dogs running sec.
ond, that the actual return for a
place ticket on Discovery would
have been less than two pennies.
AS the minimum return on a 50
ticket at Hawthorne was 1920,
this would have meant a loss to-
the track of more than 18 cents
to every Discovery place ticket
caShed. I also can see further loss
of nine cents ticket to Top Dog
players. And these losses, caused
by the minimum pay-off ($2.2O
permitted, would total $500. The
take" I figured was $500: thus
the track makes 5000 on the pool.
And therein you have the rea-
son, think, that with a minimum
pay-off Of $2.20 the association
should conduct a place pool on
an outstanding race like the Gold
Cup, just as a matter of public
policy. Players want such a pool,
they are entitled to have it.
Besides, suppose Discovery
should have turned in such a sur
prising race as Equipoise once did
at Havre de Grace, when he
couldn't possibly lose" but fin
ished sixth and last. Top Dog
might have gone lame, and thus
the two outsiders run one-two. In
the synthetic place pool I just
cited, those two outsiders would
have paid off at $16 and $3.50
respectively.

GAYETY BILL

Chorus girls, comedians and
torso-twisting specialists in the
burlesque business kicked plans
for the opening of Jimmy Lakes
Gayety Theater next Sunday into
the discard when they went on
strike today for more pay.
However, the genial Mr.. Lake,
who is vice president of the East
ern Burlesque Managers Associa-
tion, is confident the strike will
be settled and and the local
theater opening will be delayed
no more than one week. The
strike extends throughout the
East, with more than 1000 chorus
girls and principal players par
ticipating.
Present salaries for chorus girls
are $21 a week while the prin-
cipals get $35. The strikers are
demanding $22.50 for chorus girls
in stock theaters, $25 a week on
the road, $40 week for principals
and at least one day off each two
weeks.
That, the chorines explained,
is what they're kicking about.

DETROIT, Sept. 6.-'I'm glad
they did it. =. ANY red-bloOded

With this vitriolic statement, In.
spector John A. Hoffman, Of the
special investigation squad, today

ters here, which revealed pilots to
establish Red Sundays" and
spread agitation in an automobile

Veteran investigator of Com

for two Communist leaders, whom
he described as Joseph Roberts,
State organizer for the Young
Communists League, and Law
renee Emery, of New York, who
rented the bombed headquarters.
Literature Found
Communistic literature found
with elaborate filing cases and a
mimeograph machine in the bomb

other statements:
"The meat strike showed the

Other literature in the bombed

Other literature called on mem

nancing same if necessary and
organizing shop gate meetings"
Advancing his theory for the at
tack on the office, which he said
was headquarters also for the
second district of the Communist
party, Inspector Hoffman de-
clared:
"It'S probably the work of q
group of night-riding crusaders
who used to be active here.
People are getting tired of hav-
ing propaganda forced on the
youngsters.
GROWING IN STRENGTH
"The young Communists are
growing in strength rapidly
here, as well as in all parts of
the country, according to my
information.
'The Communists are cOncen-
trating their propaganda on
youth. Selecting young unde-
velOped minds, perhaps con-
fused by temporary financial
difficulties, and leading them
to believe the Communist pro-
gram will solve the troubles Of
the world"
Inspector Hoffman said District
No. 2 of the Communists, with
which Roberts also is connected,
embraces all of Michigan and part
Of Ohio.
About six months ago, a similar
communistic headquarters here
was bombed and all habitues of
the place disappeared.

Legion Drum Corps and
Bands Win High Praise
by WALTER d. HICKMAN.

Musical authorities were en-
IVA thusiastic over the way the
bands and drum and bugle corps
performed in the American Legion
parade yesterday.
There were 40 drum corps and IA
bands in the parade. Not only were
the bands in excellent playing form,
but they made a stirring appearance
in their many colored uniforms.
The American Legion Community
band Of Charlottesville. dressed in
white trousers, blue shirts and yell
low hats attracted considerable
attention. This group is a fine play
ing organization with excellent
leadership. All along the line of
march this snappy playing band re-
ceived OvatiOns.
Indiana musical leaders have
noted in the last three years that
Indiana IS becoming more and more
musical minded. These fine Legion
organizations prove they are right.
The judges at the land and drum
corps competition pointed out the
magnificent work which was being
done.
The convention this year has been
voted a magnificent musical success.
