A new trick? We eyed the little

He poised a moment by the type

We've seen meemies do almost
everything but typewrite. This one
with crazy rhythm upon the keys. And
this Is the burden of his piece:
The best team In Washington?
Well. right now I'll take only George
Washington over Catholic University.
We won't 60 farther than the games
with Mississippi for this one. You
can't get away from G. WIS 90 tie
with Ole Miss and the Rebels 14-to-0
victory over the Cardinals. Hold on
I know about the MisSissippi-G. w.
flood. know that Ray Hspes
might've meemied against the CO.
lonials on a dry field. ! also know
that Vic Sampson or Joey Kaufman
might've done the same against Ole
Miss.
That's the closest we can come
at present to a direct comparison of
Washington teams But there are
things today that will give the COM
parative scores hend plenty to jabber
over Catholic University is playing
Western Maryland and later the UE:-

games you can draw a line on Terp

Riders Crack In Third Quarter.
WITH Moore, Dunbar and Atkinson
w jamming Techs running attack.
Roosevelt made q determined, but
futile effort to throw the series into
a triple tie, outplaying Tech in the
first half. only to fold in the third
quarter, when both of Techs touch
downs were scored. The Rough Riders
muffed their only real scoring oppor-
tunity in the fourth period, but never
theless managed to hold Tech on even
terms.
Multiplying Hudson's finest boot of
the day, Williamson reeled of the
most sensational touchdown trip OF
the series shortly after the start Of
the third quarter. Grabbing the ball
on his own %. Johnny romped to his
left as Ludwig Kroutil erased a would
be tackler. cut back to the right as
Kirby Foans took care of another, and
then sprinted down the right sidelines
as Whitley Raulins cut the legs from
under another Rough Rider. Johnny
outmaneuvered Bill Richards and Hud-
son at the 12-yard point and crossed
the goal untouched.
Stan Wells uncorked a 19-yard pass
to Williamson shortly thereafter to
place Tech in scoring position again
on Roosevelt's 6-yard line. William
son ate up yards at left guard and
Kroutil then plunged through a gap
created by Ivy Belote at the same spot
to score.

4" A ND there ought not to be much
conjecture over the difference
between Maryland and Georgetown
after the party today at College Park.
I'll be around tomorrow morning TO
talk this one over with some Of the
boys.
Those West Virginia Mountaineers
may give us a line on Georgetown
and George Washington, but don't
look for the ColoniaS to equal the
Hilltoppers $50 victory. That was
a flukey game, what with the Hoyas
grabbing of three touchdownS on
intercepted passes, and catching West
Virginia with the attitude that the
game was in the Mountaineer bag.
The lads from the hills are coming
to town Thursday with a wholesome
respect for the Colonials, who hope
they can rush Kelley Moan into toss
ing them the ball instead of the
Mountaineers, even as the Hoyas
made Moan the most effective person
In the Georgetown offense.
But there's little use in going into

some big-time core-comparing. Ill
show you how Georgetown is better
than Pittsburgh. Ohio State. North

versity, Notre Dame and Fordham.

TT WAS quite the best and biggest
birthday party ever thrown for
the old gentleman. Maybe a
story on a birthday party doesn't
exactly belong on the sports pages,
but actually it has become more than
just an event at which candles on a
cake are blown out. Washington's
ripe olive and celery season is as pre-
tentious and varied as any towns,
but Griff's annual party has grown
so much in the last seven years that
it now is probably the most keenly

and was filled with tables which. in
turn, were loaded with turkey and
ham and partridge and all the acces-
sories. Col Billy Smith. who throws
the affair, did not live up to his repu-
tation for Observation-Disclosures. for he
even remembered it was Friday and
had lobster salad.
A few newspaper men were
trampled in the rush toward the
liquid refreshment table, but
otherwise there was no pre-
luncheon excitement until the
Arch McDonald-Nick Altrock
eating battle.
Last year, sitting at different ta-
bles, Mcdonald and Altrock stood out
as turkey eaters. Supporters of Mr..
Mcdonald swore that he outate Alt
rock by at least two drumsticks, but
the old coach had his boosters. who
claimed that Nick outdrank McDon-
aid at ratio of three bottles Of beer

Tarzan Brown, we hear from

the time. AS you probably know,
Brown, christened Ellison, a Narra-

the United States in the Olympics.
Fifty yards behind the leader at the

Brown pulled muscle and was
