Girls PLAY Soccer

The ggirls of the advanced class
in physical education, climaxed
their fall sports season last week
with a soccer game. For several
weeks the girls have been drilling
on the fundamentals, together with
a study of the rules of the game. Sc
lection of two teams to play a final
regulation game was made, one
team was designated as Army, the
other as Navy.
The fine play of the Navy forwards
kept the ball in Army territory dur
ing most of the game. Late in the
first period Captain Margaret HOlz-
mueller of Navy scored for her team
from the penalty mark.
Captain Jennie Passwaters led the
Army attac kinto Navy territory on
two occasions during the second
half. The work of Ann Townsend
and Betty Sterner at the fullbaek
positions for Navy prevented an
Army score.

won three games during the past
week from three Of the strongest
opponents in the county. The first, a
fast, hardfought game was won

game. The second game was won
from Grassy Creek by score of
1915. The home town boys had a

Vice Ring Uncovered
In New York City

Striking at what they called
the heart of a $12,000,000 a year
vice ring, police in New York
City have arraigned 100 women
and ten men seized in series of
Saturday night raids.
II women and seven of the
men were held in $4,000 bail each
as material witnesses. None of
those held was able to provide
bail, and all were remanded to
Jail.
The raids, which constituted
the greatest anti-vice offensive
there in year, were carried out by
1854 plainsclothesmen operating
under sealed orders.
Investigators said the houses
visited formed the nucleus of a
chain Of at least 200, employing
between one and two thousand
women whose average weekly
earnings were $3.50 each.
Dewey, police chief, was credit
ed by his assistants with being
more interested in the way the
girls were exploited by their
managers than in the vice traf-
fic as such.
His aides, who have been gath
ering evidence for five months,
said the women received only
from $50 to $50 a week for them
selves.

N. J. Governor May
Produce NeU Figure
In Kidnapping Case

Sources close to Governor Harold
Hoffman, of New Jersey, report
that he intends to disclose to State
'<police this week the identity of
s'the man with the handkerchief" a
suspect in the Lindbergh kidnap-
murder.
'sThe man with the handkerchief"
was seen by Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh outside ST. Raymond's ceme-
terry the night of the $4,000 ran
som payment. Lindbergh sat wait
ing in his car, while DR.. John F.
(Jafsie) Condor, the intermediary,
searched the vicinity for "John" to
make the payment.
Starts Own Probe
Despite the fact that the State
successfully prosecuted Bruno r.
Hauptmann as the sole perpetrator
of the crime, the possibility that
there were accomplices induced the
Governor to stay his execution, con-
duct a private inquiry and finally
order Col. H. Norman Schwarztopf,
superintendent of State police, to
clear up unsolved angles OF the
case.
Lindbergh observed the man,noW
allegedly identified by the Cover
vnors' Investigators, approaching
along the fence of the cemetery. AS
he passed, Lindbergh said, he SEEM
ed to hold his handkerchief before
his face, either as disguise or a
signal.
