West S Coaches
Laud Irwin As
East Scores

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.
Thanks to one of Andy Kerr's
own boys from Colgate, Don
Irwin, the fast sisAfoot one-inch
192-pound fullback who calls
Utica, N. Y, his home, the East
all7stars today held their first vic
tory in four years over the West
all-stars in the Shrine's annual
Football classic here for the Grip
pied Children's Hospital.
Irwin alternated with Sheldon
Beise, of Minnesota, at fullback
and played an outstanding role
in the East's spectacular fourth
period rally that Melted three
touchdowns and 1903 victory.
Kerr and his co-coach, Dick
Hanley, formerly of Northwestern,
were loud in their praise of Irwin.
And so were Babe Hollinbery of
Washington State and Percy
Locey, co-coaches of the defeated
eleven.
Seven Wins for West
The Shrine intersectional series
now stands: West, won 7, East,
won 4.
After Ed Smith, New York Uni
versity halfback, raced to the West
27-yard line in the last period for
a first down, Irwin started his
sensational playing. The West, at
this stage of the tilt, held 80
lead.
Irwin passed to Wadsworth
Longfellow, Northwestern end, who
lateral passed to Paul Pauk,
Princeton halfback, for a first
down on the West Is, and on the
next play Ed Smith passed to Pauk
for a touchdown.
A few minutes later Irwin in
tercepted a pass from Herb
Schneider, of st. Mary's, and
dashed to the West 26-yard stripe
On three plays Twins powerhouse
drives took the East across for
another touchdown.
Adds Third Touchdown
In the closing minutes of play
the East added a third touch.
down when Conner Jones, Ohio
State center, intercepted another
West pass and galloped across the
goal line by himself.
The Vests three points were
tailed as the fourth period opened
when John Sylvester, Rice end,
booted a field goal. The first
three quarters had been evenly
fought and Sylvester's three points
looked hig-until Irwin went to
work. 49,.
The East victory had been ex-
pected, as Kerr and Hanley had
nine team captains and five all
Americans in their lineup. The
West entered the tilt a 2-to-1
underdog.
More than $4,000 spectators saw
the game.

seven positions, why, almost any
of the stars of the game might
get the nominations.
Old.Timers to Fore
That there is a remarkable
number of old.time baseball fans
living in Washington and vicinity
is shown by the comments which
are accompanying the selections
with reference to players Of the
early century. These comments
are a very important part of this
contest for free season tickets to
Griffith Stadium next season.
The Times is awarding annual
admissions to the local park to the
five fans who most nearly ap-
proach the consensus vote of the
Baseball Writers of America who
have been asked to designate 10
immortalS of baseball who will
have their names placed in the
Cooperstown, N. Y, Hall Of Fame.
But the voting for the 10 play
ers will not be the lone basis for
this contest for the five season
tickets. The reasons ascrihed for
picking the best 10 players will
be judged by a committee of

up of Kirk Miller, sports writer,
Buck O'Neill, baseball writer, and
Garrett Waters, who has seen the
best of the modern crop Of base

Bill HeygSter is one of the
"holdovers from the 1934-35 Cen.
trail High School basketball team.
Although not the most polished
basketballer in the world, the lads
experience makes him quite valu-
able to Coach Jack Rays plans
for this years team.
Heygster plays one of the guard
positions. He's a midget compared
to his teammates, but what he
lacks in size, he makes up in dash
and fight.
Bill probably will not set the
series on fire in scoring this sea-

My Dog

I've got dog, a NANCY dog
That's what my folks all say,
But, gee, it makes me awful sore
To have them talk that way.
Why can't they see he's just as smart
AS any dog can be?
And aren't his friendly ways worth more
Than any pedigree?
What if his hair is sort of thin
And let's his ribs show through?
And cause he's only got one eye
The other seems more blue.
Oh, you can have your brindle pups
And collies and the rest,
Of all the dogs in this whole town,
like my stray dog best.

DON'T FORGET THE
MEDICINE CHEST
DR.. SWANS Suggestion Is
Timely; Don't Wait I'm
til Accidents Occur

While you are getting your house in
shape for the winter, don't forget the
medicine chest and bring it up to date,
is the advice of DR.. r. L. Swain, Deputy
State Drug Commissioner of Food and
Drugs of the State Department of
Health.
with most of u.s." DIR. Swain con-
tinued ''the medicine chest is 'out of
sight, out of mind, until some household
accident occurs or somebody is taken ill
in the middle of the night and we sud-
denly discover that the supplies we need
most are missing or are not fresh
enough to use. As a rule we find that
the first aid kit has not been replenished
since the last emergency demand upon
it.
while you are about it, treat your
medicine chest to the same sort of going
over you give to your pantry supplies.
Take everything out of the cabinet; give
the shelves good scrubbing with plenty
of hot water and soap. Look over all
of your supplies before you replace any
thing. Discard the boxes and bottles
that have a bit of this or that in them
or that were left over from somebody's
illness years ago.
Keep only those supplies that you
are sure are fresh. Take time to label
each article clearly and accurately so
that you can put your hand on the right
thing when you need it in hurry. Use
some sort Of distinguishing mark on pois-
ons and antiseptics. And more import
ant still, separate them from the rest of
the supplies. Keep them under lock and
key. BY all means keep them entirely
out of reach of the children. Drugs
have an almost uncanny fascination for
children. Nearly every one of us can
recall some accident that occurred be-
cause medicines or antiseptics were left
lying around.
Every household needs well-stocked
first-aid kit. Check over what you have.

DEATH.
CONFESSION
VALID
Judge Phillips Rules
1t Voluntary and
Admissible

COURTHOUSE, ASHEVILLE,
N. c., Aug. 20 G.N.S0.-The State
scored a smashing victory today
against Martin Moore, 22-year-old
giant Negro, when Judge F. Don
Phillips ruled the Negroes alleged
confession to the brutal hotel
room murder of Helen Clevenger,
New York college student. was ad-
missable as competent evidence at
Moore's trial for the Staying.
Admission of the confession was
fought vigorously by the defense
on Moore's contention that it was
drawn from him after a beating
by a deputy sheriff.
Rules Them Voluntary
In overruling the objection Of
the defense, Judge Phillips said;
"After hearing both the de-
Tense and the prosecution, the.
court holds that the state
mentS Martin Moore made to
DIR. Mark Griffith and A. c.
Bridgewater were made without
fear or cOmpulSiOn, without hope
of reward, and therefore holds
the statements were voluntary"
The juriSt'S ruling means that
the confession of Moore, as made
in statements to Bridgewater and
DR.. Griffin, in which he admitted
Staying Helen Clevenger, will now
go before the jury.
The testimony Of Sheriff Lau-
renee E. Brown, however, will not
be permitted to be given to the
jury because, by Browns own ad-
mission, he held out hope Of re-
ward for the defendant.
This was the second of two SEN
sational developments at the trial.
