.jAy-WALK|NG BAN
T0BE CONSIDERED
WITH HORNS CURB
Hazen to Ask Fellow Com.
missioners to Act Again
on Twin Proposals.
LAST TURNDOWN HELD
LACKING FORMAL VOTE
Allen and Sultan Repeat Doubts
That Rules, if Passed, Can
Be Enforced

Proposals for bans on jay-walking
and horn-blowing, discarded by the
Commissioners only two days ago, will
be taken of the shelf again tomorrow
by Commissioner Hazen for recon-
sideration by Commissioners Allen and
Sultan, who, however, declared today
they still are opposed to the plans.
Tuesdays action by the Commission
ers in laying the suggested regulations
aside was unanimous. but was not
formal" and, therefore. not final
legal disposition.
After a conference with Traffic Di-
rector william A. Van Duzer, who
drafted the proposed bans, Hazen to-
day reversed himself on the jay
walking question and said he would
ask the Board of Commissioners to
adopt It at tomorrow's session.
The statement Immediately touched
off declarations by Commissioners
Allen and Sultan, both of whom doubt
ed if the rule could be enforced
Col. Sultan said if Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown found definitely he could
enforce compliance by the public, that
might alter the case.
Education Held Cure.
But it strikes me the answer tc
jay-walking is education, rather thar
a drive for arrests of persons who fai
to protect themselves by crossing with
the signals" said Col. Sultan.
Allen said he was opposed to arrest
of pedestrians as a matter of principle
as well as having serious doubts thai
such rule could be enforced
Some District officials have blowr
"hot" and then cold" on the pro-
posals during the past few days, but
Traffic Director Van Duser has stuck

blowing for any reason whatever from
II pm. to z am. When other Dis.
trict officials demurred to that plan
Hazen suggested that horn-blowinl
be allowed in cases of extreme emer.
gencies." At Tuesdays board meet
ing. however. the Commissioners in
formally rejected the plan as i'm
possible of enforcement"
Emergency Blowing Agreed.
Today, Commissioner Hazen said
Van Duzer had agreed to his sugges

announced the rule would be revived

The two other Commissioners hav,
declared the present regulation cover

The Commissioners Tuesday rejected
the ban on jay-walking. which wa

gesture on the part Of Guckeyson's
admirers on the school paper, but,
somehow, it seems that Maryland's
Bethesda Bullet deserves better fate.
If the Diamondback staff let
him race to touchd0wns with
out wading knee-deep in all
America propaganda in the
past, the least 1t could have
done was TO let him alone in
this, his final year.
Every college of any size in the land
has school paper and virtually every
paper is pushing somebody for the
all-America. What every college
doesn't have is a Guckeyson. and for
the last three years Bill has been
beating his drum by Juggling touch
downs, which, after all, is the best
way of getting on an an-America
team.
This year he has shown his wares
from Florida to Syracuse, and in each
opportunity has piled up all-America
votes for himself.

TERP FR0SH STRIVE
FOR UNBEATEN YEAR
Put Bee on Washington and Lee
Yearlings, 60, Play v. M. I.
Youngsters November 81.

MARYLAND's undefeated fresh
AA man foot ball team today looked
forward to conquering the v. M. I.
yearlings November 81 at College Park
in 10 o'clock game and thus keep in
tact an unblemished record following
its third victory of the season yester-
day, over the Washington and Lee
Rockies at Lexington, Va. 60.
On a sustained drive which carried
from Maryland's 34-yard line, Carliss
and Mundorff alternated in carrying
the ball to the 4-yard line in the
second quarter. Carliss plunged over
for the score after three stabs at the
fighting Westinghouse line. Mum
dorff's attempted placement for the
extra point was blocked.
The Little Generals, playing their
last game of the season, outpointed
the Terp yearlings in first downs, II
10 10, but lacked a scoring punch.
Washington-Lee failed to penetrate
Maryland's heavier line and took TO
the air to complete nine passes for .
total gain of 1o3 yards. Maryland
completed two for 81 yards.
Maryland now has defeated fresh
man clubs of Georgetown, Richmond
and Westinghouse, while Virginia
held the Terps to 6-6 tie in a game
played in the mud.

Big Ten TOtters
Beyond Its Loop

THE Western Conference, which
for many years has held to
the idea that it plays the best foot
ball"-except upon such occasions
as Notre Dame tangles with Big
Ten eleven-has little proof to
support its claims this season.
The conference had some defin-
ite material with which to back its
contentious during the last three
seasons when its teams won 81 Of
78 contests against outside op-
ponents.
The ledger shows Big Ten teams
have won IS out of rs non-confer-
ence games this season. but an
analysis of that record gives West
ern Conference partisans little
cause for cheers. since several of
the victories were over set-ups.

a in Chicago, still have Judge
Kenesaw Lands decision on young
Bob Feller to contemplate. Most of
the big wigs, Clark Griffith among
them, journeyed not only. to pass on
the sale of the Browns, but also in
half expectancy that Lanis would de-
eide whether Feller belongs to the
Cleveland club or whether. because
of the Indians violation of the major
minor agreement, he would be made
a free agent and available to the
highest bidder.
In none of the press releases
at the meeting was Feller's
name mentioned. and now 1t
seems probable that Lands will
withhold his decision until the
eve of the annual joint meeting
of the big leagues.
He likely will give Feller back to
the Indians, because many clubs have
violated the agreement whereby play
ers first must serve in the minors,
but If, perchance, Feller is cut loose,
the base ball world will be privileged
to watch one of the maddest scrambles
of all time for his services.
The least this 18-year-old Iowa
farm boy would draw on the auction
block would be $4,000, and twice
that amount is more likely the price
which Feller and the lucky minor
league club to grab him would collect.
And this for a kid who has seen
service in less than 10 major league
games and who, were he not gifted
with the strongest arm since Walter
Johnson, obviously would be shipped
away to the bushes for at least two
or three seasons to acquire polish.
Needs Nothing But Speed.
EVEN an old conservative like Grit
- nth speaks in a matter-of-fa
tone when the subject of Feller's value
in dollars and cents Is brought up, and
one of the Old Fox's stock sayings Is
that a ball player cannot be accounted
a mai Lacquer until he has spent at
least three seasons under the big top.
Mr. G. has only recently gotten around
to ranking Cecil Travis, f'rinstance, as
a big-leaguer.
But in the case of Feller he
seemingly has forgotten his pri-
vate time limit" probably be.
cause Griff can resurrect in the
raw-boned frame of the kid the
vision Of johnson when he threw
the ball SO fast that 1t virtually
was impossible to hit. You asked
him about this recently.
Fellows like that" explained Griff,
don't need anything else to fool
a curve and no change of pace. Well,
he doesn't need them. His brain
doesn't have to whirl with thoughts
Of what might happen If he throws
such-and-such a pitch to AL Simmons
or Gehrig or Foxx. A pitcher with
fast ball like that only has to rear
back and fog it, as the boys say.
That's all Johnson did when he had
all his speed. don't mean to say
Walter was not smart pitcher, be-
cause in later years, when his speed
started to fade, johnson found it nec-
essary to develop curve and mix up
his stuff. Shucks, even Buck Newsom
wouldn't have to fiddle around with
curve or a slow ball if he'd keep him
self in shape and ram home his best
fast ball. Bucks fast enough and he
isn't any Johnson or Feller, either"

enough to win the game.
The v. M. I. attack, with seven
dangerous backs, most of them triple

keep it from crossing the goal.

THE Keydets' edge on the Terps Is
in the way of both line and back
field requirements. but they are using
seven sophs in the starting lineup
and Guckeyson and the greater ex-
perience of Marylands regulars are
held to even up matters.
