Schools. Up at the Mount, an i'm
proving st. Adams eleven tackles an
indicated, unscored-upon George
town Prep squad, eager to atone for
the Ats shellacking it took from the
Saints last year. Out at Landon, Bob

out of three, also will entertain an
undefeated team, Woodrow Wilson,
conqueror of Friends and st. Adams.

of success, the pros have not raised
their prices.
This gives the moneyed clan
tremendous advantage in lur.

fellow with only a limited
amount to spend per week on

So, too, was the fact that pros clay
on Sunday a big advantage. Not all
workers can beg of half a day TO
watch collegians on Saturday after
moons. And, lastly. but not least. Is
different kind of appeal furnished by
the pros. Their game is different, more
colorful, more aggressive. They can
pass anywhere in back of the line Of
scrimmage, instead of having to be
yards back, as the collegians must
be. They can kick field goals easier
because the goal posts are only 100
yards apart. instead of being set back
10 yards for a space of 120 yards.

The lack of 12-foot fence around

however, and such methods not

Despite his intention to call

BY STATE

NEW YORK, March 81 (IN.S0
For the second time in as many
days Vera Stretz today will re-
trace her steps Of last November
IL, the steps that led her to
Room ALA of Beekman Towers
where, in the early morning, she
shot and killed DR.. Fritz Geb-
hardt.
Shame-faced, sob-wracked, shiv-
ering at the memory, she told
the tale of that journey under
the guidance Of Samuel Leibo-
witz, battling to save her from
the electric chair.
Must Tell 1t Again
Today she must tell 1t again,
under the hammering crosS-ex.
animation of Assistant District
Attorney Miles O'Brien.
The story, that Of a lover
turned monster, came as q
climax to Leibowitz's direct ex.
animation Of the blonde, cultured
defendant.
Between bursts Of convulsive
sobbing, she told OF GeonaroG
telephoning her at her room on
the nineteenth floor Of the same
hotel, telling her:
"Vera, I'm in great pain.
I'm afraid 1 won't be able to
20 to the office tomorrow. I've
lost my electric pad. VIII you
bring me yours?"
WENT TO HIS AID
She told Of slipping coat over
her nightgown, putting on shoes
and stockings and going to Geb-
hardt's aid. She previously had
told of "numberless occasions"
when she helped him ease an
abdominal ailment with an cleo
trio pad.
This time, the Sobbing defend
ant testified, there was no pain
unless that of rage because she
had told Gebhardt they must
break off their intimate relations
because he had done nothing to
divorce his German wife as ne
had promised.

EXPERT CLEARS
MYSTERY OF
BOOK BEER

"BOck beer Il q special brew.
There is nothing strange or
mysterious about It. It Is char.
acterized by . flavor that dis
tinEuishes It from other brewS
and because Of It's taste. It Is q
spring beverage, popular and in
public demand for about six
weeks in the spring, from about
st. Patrick's Day to May Day"
So said Otto Schmalzried, the
Heurich brewmaster, today and in
one stroke cleared up this great
question Of:
"What is book beer and
why?"
Since the brew has appeared at
bars and cafes, rumor has been at
work: ali sorts Of wild stories OF
the beers origin, manufacture,
content. and purpose are in cir
culation.
Named for Town
But Herr Schmalzried merely
laughed when questioned anent
the stories, saying:
Eyes, / know, 1 get all kinds
Of phone calls. People ask me
such questions as, Is book beer
the dregs Of the brew?' Foolish,
isn't it?"
AS might be surmiSed, book beer
is an ancient beer. Its name de-
rives from the German town OF
Einbeck or Eimbeck, and the last
syllable O. the name would in Ger
man be pronounced "bock."
First in favor in the Thirteenth
Century, book beer caught on with
the Einbeck drinkers because OF
it's flavor, acquired q quick fame
and since then has been brewed
the world over.
Caramel Malt Used
Mr.. Schmalzried explains it:
"The special taste is due to
caramel malt. The brewing Pc
riOd Is longer than that for Ordi-
nary beer. The reason for mak.
ing the beer in the winter and
releasing for the spring is a mat
ter Of water purity. After the
first frost. the water clears;
there is no algae or green sub
stance collecting in the water.
"The mash 10 especially pre-
pared in brewing beck and that
together with the caramel malt
provides the distinction the beer
boasts.
"MOst people think 1t Is a
beer that is brewed like ale, but
such Is not the case. Each third
grain to the beer IL wheat malt;
the other twO-thirds are barley
malt.
NOTHING FATTENNG
"BOck win not fatten people
and il useful as. medicine in
fever cases, but because It Is a
dark beer, drinkers do mot pre-
fer IL as o steady beverage. The
lighter beers drive It ont except
for the brief time In the
spring."
When first introduced to Amer
lea in the Nineteenth century. the
kegs were covered with posters dis
playing a billygoat. A curious
popularity arose because Of this
symbol and Mr.. Schmalzried EN-
phasized the wave Of public inter
est in this billygoat beer.
