trained teachers. Any advocacy Of
anti-American doctrines in our
schools will be dealt with by school
officials and the Board Of Education,
all of whom have taken an oath to
support the Constitution Of the United
States.
It Is q we'll established tradition
that the control of American public
schools shall be vested in local boards,
free from political interference. This
tradition Is as firmly q part of our
American system as free speech, a
free press, freedom of religion, or
the separation of church and state.
Our board has stood firmly for this
principle in opposing the red rider"
and attempts to interfere with the
political and religious rights Of teach
ers under the Constitution, or to
usurp the function of educational ex-
perts in the selection of text books
and the like. Because of its willingness
to uphold this important American
principle. the members Of the board,
composed OF nine loyal and reputable
American citizens whose lives and
backgrounds are an open book to
their fellow citizens, have been sub
jected to "hit-and-run" attacks and
defamation of character, for which
they have not had any avenue for
seeking legal redress because the at
tacks have been made under so-called
Congressional immunity" Forum
ately there is recent evidence that
American citizens everywhere are OF
one mind on this sort of thing. Repeal
of the un-American red rider" by
the next Congress will complete the
work of restoring genuine American
principles in local education, and free
the board and the school administra-
ton for more of the constructive work
that is so badly needed.
In this work the board, as always,
seeks the support of all forward-look
ing citizens. The task Of providing
proper schooling for our young people
is a community one, although the legal
responsibility rests upon the Board OF

tify to these conditions. The Board
Of Education faces the necessity for
meeting these accumulated needs, and

There is no doubt in my mind that

BOYD'S SCHOOL GIVES
DATA TO EMPLOYERS
Every Student Helped to Limit
After Graduation, Official
Points Out.

Commenting on the Presidents re-
cent broadcast mentioning the need
of full information on employment
applicants in private industry and the
allotment of additional funds to the
United States Employment Service
for that purpose. an official OF the
Boyd Business University said:
1T has always been the belief and
policy Of the Boyd Business University
that a student should be helped to
the limit after graduation, and not
left to shift for himself. This Is why
Boyd's spent many dollars on its en-
ployment service.
Boyd has a system that Classics
all applicants, investigates their past
employment and grades them ac-
cording to their ability. This saves
the employer much time and enables
him to pick his aides with the utmost
discrimination While this service is
available to all office workers, 1t was

The Washington times., 1936-12-12

Many readers will remember
Charles PATSY" Bergin. who
played end at Georgetown back
in 1910, IL and IL. Patsy" is
gone now; he died a few months
back in his native Waterbury,
Conn. Among Georgetown men
his memory will be revered.
PATSY" was one Of those spirits
who know no worry. He greeted
you with a smile and left you
with a laugh. He bubbled over
with humor. He had lantern
jaw and the only time I ever
saw that jaw in a position indi-
eating seriousness was when the
Hoyas were on defense and
Patsy expected q run around
his end.
We were playing Carlisle one
day at the Hilltop. 1t was the
greatest of all Carlisle teams
the team Of "The Big Indian"
Jim Thorpe, and John Sweetcorn
and Newashe and Gus WEIGH and
Arcasa. On the Carlisle bench
sat the willy Glen Scobie Pop"
warner, with his inevitable
gloves. Pop" you know, loved
to wear one glove and hold the
other in his hand.
Indians in Top Form
The game started. and none too
auspiciously for Georgetown. AS
time passed it became increasingly
evident that the Indians were in
top form. Thorpe was going great
guns, especially around Patsy"
Bergin's end, and the hard-run-
ming Indian was coming down to
me, playing safety quarterback,
with monotonous regularity. The
situations became serious to all
the GeorgetownerS, but not to
Bergin.
Thomas F.. "Ooch" Moriarty,
probably Georgetown's greatest
football player Of all time, now
District Attorney for Western Mas
sachusetts, played tackle for the
Hoyas. AS Thorpe ran riot around
Bergin's end, Moriarty took
PATSY" to task, at first in tenn
perate words, but Bergin gave no
heed. Then Fred "Plugger" Muir
ray started after Bergin, but plug
gers" words were wasted, too.
Howls from the Georgetown
bench, directed al Bergin, were
loud and long, but they fell on
deaf ears. What to do with Ber-
gin?
Angry With Patsy
AS stated, I was playing safety
quarterback. I could have killed
Patsy" I was that angry with
him. But what could do?
Time and again, Thorpe came
banging down to me. I was a
small man, comparatively speak
ing, and I had to exercise more
than a little caution in tackling
the Indian. You know, big
Jim" ran hard, knees high and
with tremendous drive. If he
hit you hard, it was curtains. I
spent many uncomfortable mo-
mentS tackling him, nursing him
to the sidelines so that I could
make a soft" tackle. Had
undertaken to hit Jim hard, he

Opens S
Court Season
With Terrors

Georgetown's basketball team
is ready for the opening game on
Monday night at Tech High School
gynn against Western Maryland
College.
With prospects above the aver
age because of a wealth Of first
class and experienced material, the
Hoyas are contemplating their
most successful season in a num-
ber of years.
Only two members Of last
years team have been lost by
graduation.
Mike Petroskey, Buddy Nau,
Mario Gregorio, Harry BasSin,
Don Gibeau, Tommy Nolan and
Ben zola, Fred Mesmer, Hoya
coach has Joe Franks, Jim Dur
kin, Joe Murphy and Hank Ber-
trand from last years frosh
team, and Carroll Shore, Maurie
Nee and Ed Kurtyka available.
With such a wealth of ma
terial on hand, Mesmer is find
ing it difficult to pick a start
ing team, although the Hoyas
have been practicing for over a
month.
At center Mike Petroskey, vet
eran of last years team, or Hank
Bertrand, a soph, is scheduled to
start. At the forward positions,
Harry Bassin, Joe Murphy and
Don Gibeau seem to have the edge
for a starting berth and at guards,
MeSmer will start either Joe
Franks, Tommy Nolan, Carroll
Shore or Ben Zola.
Western Maryland, composed
mainly of football players, are
scheduled to open their season to-
night. The Green Terrors are led
by Stan Benjamin, center. Fred
Coe, a forward and Lee Adriance,
a guard.
In the preliminary game Mon
day, the Georgetown Freshmen,
led by Lee FoneS and Dopey Dean,
two former All-City cage stars, are
scheduled to meet Central High
School.
Admission to the Western Mary
land game is 40 cents.

would have run for a touchdown
each time he came down to me
for the reason that he would
have floored me as I hit him
hard.
Ran Bergin's End Often
Bryan Morse, who covered the
game says that 1 tackled the
Indian 13 times that afternoon. It
is my opinion that he came around
Bergin's end IL Of the 13 times.
After I had tackled Jim about
a dozen times, a brilliant thought
came into my mind. CenSure
had not brought Bergin to his
senses, therefore I'd try bit OF
sarcasm. Rushing up the field
toward the line of Scrimmage,
from my position as safety man
on defense. I yelled to the referee
for time out.
It was a dramatic moment. The
other ten Hoyas were in defensive
formation; Carlisle was on attack.
AS L came running, they all

looked at me. / ran straight for
Bergin.
Grows Serious at Last
Shaking my finger at PATSY"
in a threatening manner, and con-
tinuing toward him as If I were
going to strike him, I kept up
constant stream of inVectives.
Bergin at last was serious!
Finally, I came face to face with
Patsy" So that all could hear,
I yelled:
Listen, 'PaSty' Bergin, if you
let that Thorpe around your end
one more time I'm going to open
the gate and let him run
through to Washington"
The story spread, after the game.
AS years went by, it was developed
into quite a football story. Bergin,
himself, told it, on numerous oc-
casionS, except that Patsy always
had Thorpe running the other
end.
