6. W. Pass Aces
Rejoin Squad

George washington supporters
were heartened today with the
news that Joey kaufman and
Pete Yurwitz, the Colonials' ace
passing combination, will be ready
for the West Virginia game, fea-
ture of G. WIS fifth annual
alumni homecoming, on Thanks
giving Day in Griffith Stadium.
Both kaufman and YurWitz
were on the sidelines last Satur-
day when the Colonials walloped
Catawba, $50. Leg injuries sus-
tanned in practice held them idle
and fears that they wouldn't be
available for the seasons finale
were entertained. Kaufman has
thrown six touchdown passes this
year, while Yurwitz has proved
one of the best receivers in mod
ern G. w. grid history. 1t was his
sensational catch of a heave from
joey that scored on Rice three
weeks ago. Kaufman's toss to
Jay Turner after the timekeepers'
gun sounded won the Wake For
est game for G. w.
The only G. w. casual not likely
to see action against West Vir-
ginia is Armando Salturelli, cen
ter or tackle, who still is hobbling
on a twisted knee suffered a
month ago. Guy Renzaglia,
guard, is expected to resume prac-
tice next Monday after layoff
with a dislocated toe. Though no
game is carded this weekend, the
Colonials are drilling daily at top
speed.

Charles A. Lindbergh will fly to
Berchtesgaden to see him, the
American airman planned today.
While waiting definite word
from Hitler, Colonel Lindbergh
concentrated on one of the chief
aims of his German trip-to
find some sort of "flivver" air
plane which could be adapted
for popular use in the United
States. He spent the morning
watching German gliders, and
the afternoon visiting factories
where inexpensive one-seater
planes are produced.

VETO KEARNEY
FOR BUSES

With engineers holding that
the proposed route of the Rhode
Island Avenue bus line over
Kearney Street Northeast is i'm
practicable, the entire matter
was back on the hands of the
Public Utilities Commission to-
day.
The line now operates over
Monroe Street Northeast and
residents had asked that it be
rerouted so as to run only one
way on that street. The COM
mission started to map out a
new route, and found that the
only available street was Kear-
ney.
Engineers, however, held that
Kearney would be unsuitable for
operation of buses, leaving the
entire matter in the condition it
was last spring when the ques-
ton first was taken up.

VICT0RSNANED
IN PAROLE
CONTEST

The parole system as at present
administered has resulted in much
thought and discussion. This was
definitely proven in the response
to the request from The Washing
ton Times and the management
of RKO Keith's for suggestions as
to how the present method Of
handling paroles could be bettered.
Approximately 500 replies were
received by the contest editor.
Each disclosed much thought and
a very evident desire to give con-
crete suggestion for improvement.
Tremendous Problem
The judges of the contest faced
a tremendous problem. Many
made the same suggestions-all
good. Hence, in such cases of like
suggestions the decision as to the
winners was then made upon the
composition of the letter and the
presentation of the idea.
With this in mind the first prize
of SIS and two tickets to see the
current RKO Keith Theater at
traction, THE Harvester" adapted
from Gene Stratton-Porter's IA
nous story and with Alice Brady
the featured member of the cast,
was awarded to A. D. Herren, ALP
Gault Pl. N. E.
Mr.. HerTen suggested a recon
ditioning process involving a
Parole Farm" for a specified
period.
For his suggestion that the judge
who tried the case and thus is thor
oughly familiar with the evidence
and circumstances leading to the
sentence, be the principal deter
mining factor, the second prize of
$40 and two guest tickets was
awarded to Will F. bunker, Box
842, Falls Church, Va.
Claude Campbell, 1876 Twelfth
st. N. w., was awarded the third
prize of SIS and two guest tickets
for his suggestion that prison rec
ords not be considered above per-
sonal history prior to the crime
which brought them to prison.
Other Winners Named
Space will not permit detailed
analysis of all suggestions. Thus
the judges, after burning the mid
night oil and checking and double
checking made the following
awards:
One dollar each and two passes

But above all else it is the care of the

secret of being able to rest - which may
account for her delightful vitality during
active hours.
