Ivan, acting as special correspond
emit for yours truly, returns from
Minneapolis with an intimate tale
of the Gophers. In conversation
with Bill Hoel, 217 pound tackle on
the herman reserve list, he re-
peats Bill as saying that the boys
realize that their schedule is
tough, that they have reputation
to uphold, that this first game
Is going to hold a lot in store.
When asked by a curious Glen
about the quality Of fellows on the

his own conceit when he replied,
''The finest on the campus"
&ss
Ye Olde Bearers of the Blum
derbuss, ponder this bit of re-
violation we CLEANED on the
street. 1t may or may not be
true, yet 1t comes from boys
that have lived on a farm and
have studied, more or less, the
ways of wild life. 1t is said that
ducks Matched in a pond are re-
luctant to leave that pond I'M
til the time for their migration
comes. They will sit there on
the scene of Matching and let it
dry up right under them. Many
of them have been found in
the dried mud bottom, lifeless-
starvation taking its toll. Yet
we go ahead draining swamps,
ponds and waterhOles to make
more land for cultivation when
most farms are more than can
be handled rightly anyway. It's
clearly a problem for hunters
and conservation-minded citi-
zens. When such q situation ex-
lists there is only one way to
protect the wild life especially
in years Of extreme dr0uth.
That Is TO try to maintain the
water holes.
A new order, a new deal, a mod
ern era, If you will, may come into
the inner circle of golfing. Counting
lost balls may supercede counting
strokes, says Dick Bassett, Nation

tering this movement. The idea hit
Mr.. Bassett like a flash one day
when chasing the ball around a
sporty course in this section he lost
eight of his own and two borrowed
ones. That he could count ten balls
easier than he could count-well
we won't tell his average score
seemed to him a plausible idea. For
Golfers that have lost several fin
gers on one hand or another, the
idea seemed a good one. It has, of
course, it's disadvantages, we feel it
Is our duty to point out, in that
the new system may create men
tai hazard for golfers resulting in
a higher average of lost balls, yet
this very thing may create a new
and greater industry destined to
pull this country out of the NAV of
the depression. An industry for
the manufacture of a new, cheap
er golf ball. OF course, it opens an
avenue for shall we say, dishonest
players, to become the heroes of

SIX 'WagS'
(Chuck Rathe)

School Rovers meet Albany next
Friday afternoon in the first home
game of the season they'll be on
an alert defensive with new
backfield but an aggressive line
Harvey isn't hoping too much. He
hates those build ups that come be-
fore the let down. But it is fitting
to give a few glances at the boys
While the backfield is new, it has
gained in weight and has some
speed. Arvig, last years end, will
probably be shifted to the back
field. He seems to answer, in a
measure, Harvey's weakness as a
passing and punting back. He
knows how to block and tackle, but
it'll take time to work him in.
Young Ethun, sophomore, has
weight is tough and willing, but
his size is against him. John Egan,
last years captain, reported in ex-
cellent physical condition. con-
dition you expect to find in Big
Ten athletes. Hoffman, in the back
field, will probably do the heavy
duty work in the backfield-the
blocking and interference, and
with Egan out in front the ball
carrier should have a clear field.
There are others. Junior Vandes-
teeg, John D. (Dobbin) Bellinger
has warmed up to hard work this
season. Jim Pangburn, Jim Rattle,
Norman Bohn Hilory Egan and
others will fill in with their work.
Injury stalked the field Sat
urday when Coach Harvey call
ed special practice for that
afternoon. Fundamentals were
being stressed, and It was dur
ing blocking and tackling
practice that Bob MarksOn
broke his leg. The member was
broken just above the hee-a
bad place. Now the talk will fly
around condemning football
and everything connected with
1t. Yet it's not SO much q case
of football being at fault. Near
ly every game in athletics Is
dangerous. Hockey Is among
the worst, basketball has
prompted injuries that have fol-
lowed participants throughout
life, tennis and even golf have
their possibilities for injury. 1t
seems that people are willing
and anxious to condemn foot
ball-and its accidents are
played up. Yet consider over
period of five years of football
in this school some two hun
dred fellows have taken part in
the sport. And too our know
ledge this is the second injury
in the nature of break that
has been sustained. In game
where bodily contact is the
principle upon which the game
is built it is improbable that
the game can be played forever
without injury. Walking across
the street is more dangerous,
and riding in motor cars is as
great a risk as one can take.
It's unfortunate that these
things happen. Unfortunate
for Bob-he looked forward to
going to school and playing
fOOtball-he was in line for an
end position. 1t is unfortunate
for the family-expense and
worry over him. Football suf-
fers and the Coach In charge
finds It hard to dismiss the in
cident without partially blam-
ing himself, wondering If there
wasn't something he could have
shown him to prevent 1t. Yet
we're sure that he was not to
blame. The fellas are with you
Bob and are going to battle in
there for you. Keep your chin
up.
It's not an over confident group
of youngsters that will invade
Washington on the 26th. Glen Sui

NEED Of TAX RISE
IN D. c. IS DENIED
But Government Must AS
sumo "Fair Share" of Ex-
pense, Conference Told.

There would be no need for
increased taxes in the District If the
Federal Government assumed its
~fair share" of the National Capitals
expenses each year. Edwin S. Hege
last night told the Interfederation
Conference from the District and
Arlington, Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties at the organizations
first Fall meeting.
Hege, who is president of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association and a rep
resentative of the District Federation
of Citizens Associations in the con-
ference, declared there should be
'very substantial increase" in the
Federal Governments payment to-
ward District expenses. and warned
residents of Washington against being
too quick" to agree to new tax
burdens.
IF we appear willing to pay addi-
tional taxes, the Federal Govern
ment's contribution will be cut down
even further" he said. The speaker
pointed out that in 1880 survey
made by a Federal bureau fixed the
fair share" to be borne by the Fed
eral Government at more than Sl0,-
Ooo, 900, and cited the fact that for
the present fiscal year Congress voted
only $5,000,000 as the Federal pay
nlent.
Committee Appointed.
After hearing Hege, the conference
appointed a committee to study the
fiscal relations problem and to Coop
crate with the commission recently
appointed by President Roosevelt to
determine what part of District
expenses the Federal Government
should bear. Named on the commit
tee were Stephen James, Montgomery
County. chairman; Monroe H. Stock
EFT, Arlington; Bert H. Wise, Prince
Georges. and Hege.
Earlier in the meeting Thomas E.
Lodge, chairman of the conference,
asserted District authorities should
not consider levying new taxes until
the operation of the existing law Is
carried out" He charged District
oficials ARE lax" in the collection of
delinquent taxes, and that there Is no
considera ton between the various de-
partments to collect taxes already
available.
only about $4,000 residents Of
Washington file personal tax returns,
and approximately $4,000 of this num-
ber pay their taxes" Lodge said.
There should be thousands more tax
returns filed here. But people aren't
going to bother about it if they aren't
asked"
Oppose Gas Tax Diversion.
The conference reafflrmed its pre-
vious stand in opposition to the di-
version of gasoline tax funds into
channels other than that for which
they originally were intended.

ported by the conference, probably

APPROVAL GIVEN
RED RIDER REPEAL
Education Body to Confer
With King Before Making
Formal Report.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Repeal of the red rider" forbid
ding the teaching or advocating Of
Communism in local public schools,
was approved today by the Senate Ed
ucation and Labor Committee, but the
formal report to the Senate will be
held up pending a conference with
Chairman King of the Senate District
Committee.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, head of the education and
labor group, will confer with King
later today. Since Senator King is
known to be supporter of the ban, it
appeared that the chances for Senate
action on the repeal bill this near the
end of the session will depend on
whether the District Committee chair
man vigorously opposes it.
A similar bill to remove the contro-
versial provision from the statute book
has been reported favorably by the
House Committee and is due to come
on the floor in the House at an early
date. When he introduced the repeal
bill in the Senate several weeks ago,
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana, took the view that the red rider
was unnecessary and also declared that
if it is to remain it should be clarified
to define what is meant by the term
Communism.
The Walsh committee voted favor
able reports on the following other
measures: The House bill to allow
blind persons to operate vending stands
in public buildings and to lend other
Federal assistance to enable blind per-
sons to find employment in industry:
the Wheeler bill to require contractors
on Government buildings to provide
workmen's compensation insurance for
their employees; the La Toilette reso-
luton for an investigation of charges
of interference with the right of labor
organizations, and the Murray resolu-
ton to investigate silicosis in the metal
mining industries.
The Wagner housing bill, calling for
loans and grants to States and cities
for slum-clearance and low-cost hous-
ing projects was not taken up today,
because several amendments are being
drafted.
The bill relating to the blind was
amended to meet the Budget Bureaus
objections to requiring the Govern
ment to pay for installing the vending
stands.

The Washington Home for Incur
