Grid Battle
On Sunday
BY SID KATZNELL

Boosting one Of the strongest
teams in the history of the club,
the Police Boys Club varsity eleven
battles the Congress Heights A. c..
Sunday for the District indepen-
dent football championship. The
site Of the game remains undeter-
mined, but Phil Fox, coach of the
Police team, is endeavoring to
procure Roosevelt High School
Stadium for the contest.
Only two scratches can be seen
on the Police Boys Clubs records,
and these are defeats at the hands
OF Frederick and Norfolk, profeS-
Sional teams, which is no disgrace
for amateur aggregations. Five
powerful local teams fell before
the offensive of the Fox-coached
outfit, including the Southeast
A. C.
The Southeast gridders were de-
feated yesterday, 6 to 0, on the
Fairlawn field before $500 fans.
Pass Brings Victory
A 45-yard pass play in the fourth
quarter enabled the Police Boys
to triumph. Fullback Ed Hoeff
shot a 20-yard pass to Left-end
Tommy Sullivan, who dashed the
25-remaining yards for the touch
down.
However, Bunker Hill, of the
sottbau fame, was the most con-
slstent ground gamer for the
victors, hitting the Southeast's for
ward wall repeatedly for and 6
yards at a clip.
The Policies lineup is studded
with former high and prep school
players. Tommy Sullivan, Arindes,
SHADY" Schade and Francis Cuddy
performed at st. Johns Prep,
while Norman Abelman and Bunker
Hill starred at Eastern and Roose-
welt High Schools, respectively.
Congress Heights attack is built
around Bill Kemp, Eastern's great
center and the receiver of The
Washington Times most valuable
player award.
Royals Win Title
Although held to a ScorelesS tie
by the Palace A. c., the Regal
ClothierS today rule the 15O-pound
championship of the National City
League and maintained their rec
ord Of no defeats this season. This
. was their first deadlock. Approx
nnately 1900 fans saw the game at
Duffy Stadium, Seat Pleasant.
Royals record reads five victories,
no losses and one tie.
! In the other league contest,
Trinity A. C. downed the Cardi-
mails, 10 to Is.
The men with the ladder and
the hose of Takoma Park bowed
to the statesmen of Silver Spring
on the gridiron yesterday. The
score was to 0. The men with
the ladder and the hose, naturally,
are the Takoma Park firemen, and
the merchants who opposed them
are the business men of Silver
Spring. A 60-yard special Christ
mas drive overcame the fire lad
dies and netted the only touch
down of the Soggy afternoon.
The unbeaten football eleven
has not persisted from the grid
iron. The Georgetown Boys Club
stepped up and defeated the Vir,
GINA Athletic Club, of Virginia. by
a score Of 10 to 0, yesterday. 1t
was the Georgetown boys second
undefeated season in the $50
pound class. Abel, Treel and Brad
field did the scoring yesterday.

FOR ACTION

NEW YORK-(ANP)- Use of

This action was taken after re-

ecutive secretary, in protest over
an eight column headline worded:

for releasing a story saying a Ne

son when officials said it was evil
IDENTIFY a white man who had black
ened his face. The first story re-
ceived great prominence, particu-
larly in Southern dailies, while the
black-face discovery was little us
ed.
In his letter to the Post, Mr.
White spoke Of the fair deal given
the Negro by that publication and
asked if the same consideration
could not be given in crime stories,
especially as it was often found
later that the accused Negroes
were not guilty.
Replying, Mr.. Saylor said he a
greed with the N. A. A. c. P. Off

banning racial designation in
crime stories unless essential.
