Fourth Defeat
Faces MILDLY

BY FRANK BUCK ONEILL

Nays football eleven, outlucked
by Yale, tricked by Princeton
and overpowered by Pennsylvania,
sticks courageously to the motto
of all sailors, Don't give up the
ship"
There's white water ahead for
the Midshipmen on Saturday with
Notre Dame, back in stride, and
filled with the faith bred by vic
tory, roaring out of the West. The
Irish put on a terrific drive ana
beat Ohio State on last Saturday,
hanging the third defeat Of the
season on the Scarlet Scourge.
The "Unpredictables," as foot
ball men of the Middle West like
to call the team that over the
years, have been called the No
MAIDS, the Rollicking Romans, the
Pullman Dwellers and the most
famous name of al, the Four
Horsemen, apparently are in stride
again. The story of the triumph
over Ohio State may be told IN
three aerial thrusts in the last
moments of a second period that

TROUBLE SEEN FOR NAVY WITH NOTRE DAME in STRIDE
Sox Will Not
Trade Werber
oGriffn1en
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Bill Werber, third baSeman Of
the Boston Red Sox will be traded
this winter. Nothing but fantastic
demands by the other American
League clubs will prevent a deal
being made.
He will not be traded to the
Washington baseball club. Nothing
but a complete change in mind,
heart and policy will permit Wer-
Der to come to this city.
Not only will Boston refuse to
deal directly with the Griffs for
Werber, but, according to infor'
nation which this writer believes
to be authentic, the Red Sox will
insist that one of the conditions
for any trade involving Berwyn'S
william, be that the club acquir-
ing him, refuse to trade with the
GriffS for him.
Shock Fans, Maybe
This news perhaps will come as
something of shock to the Wash
ington baseball public. 1t is no
secret that Werber failed to get
along any too we'll in Boston. BY
his own admission he is spit
fire, highly aggressive, and not TOO
diplomatic. He rallied and ranted
against the alleged nonchalance
of some of the "Yawkey FollleS,'
and once when the Red Sox lost
a tough game that might nave
been won, Werber made the crack:
"You can take ball players out
of the Athletics, but you can't
take the Athletics out Of some
ball players"
All of this was very true, accord
ing to other men than Weroer.
The writer has a number OF trlends
on the Red Sox, and at least three
times last season we had chance
to chat with them far from pry-
ing eyes. The loafing and non
chalance of some of the boys was
maddening, not only to Weroer'
but to some others.
AS football rules the sports
pages these days, President Clark
c. Griffith is playing golf and
not even talking baseball. But the
veteran is doing a lot OF think
ing.
New Third Base Coach?
Among the thoughts that muir
der sleep for Griffith is the fact
that the team lost third place by
a margin of a single game. MAUI
rally. Griffith is a man who likes
to go to the roots of things; 10
find out just why his warriors losC
by a single game.
He found the answer, perhaps
in two games at the Stadium. In
one of these Eddie Linke was sent
charging home from second base
on a short single to center. He
made it all right, scored the rum
and then was knocked out OF the
box in the next inning. -.
OF course, being knocked out OF
the box was no novelty to Linke,
but this time he was so badly
winded that he never had a chance
to do any effective pitching when
he started the next inning. An
other time Bolton was sent home
on a chance that he would beat
a play. He didn't, and that in
cident led to defeat.
Griffith has checked up on
various items and it may we'll hap
pen that new coach will be on
the lines at third base when the
gong rings the 1887 season into
action.

Line Play Pops Up
The Trainers sensational line
play popped into the picture in
the fourth quarter. Central got
the ball on a break just as the
third period ended, when Reddy
Clay, at center for Tech, made a
bad pass.
Central drove CALAMITY to score.

away for IS yards, only to be
called back because his team had
a penalty inflicted upon it.
Billy Vermillion, Bill Wootten,
Pete Fox and Charlie Jones were
outstanding for Central. Wootten's
plunging and running were par
ticularly notable. But the lads
most important failure was in
that fourth quarter when he
couldn't make the grade on an

Last Weeks Winners
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-11-04


Washington evinceS the greatest
interest are as follows:
1. Alabama VS.. Tulane
2. Kansas State VS.. Oklahoma
3. Michigan State VS.. Temple
4. FOrdham VS.. Purdue
5. Colgate vs.. Holy Cross
6. Oregon VS.. U. C. L. A.
7. Carnegie Tech VS.. N. Y. U.
Choosing five winners in the
set-up of seven games is anything
but a simple task. Indeed. it isn't
even a simple matter guessing
five winners here.
Alabama has improved slowly
but surely. In the South and
Southwest the Crimson Tide is
rated by coaches second only to
Louisiana State which is said to
have the greatest eleven ever de-
veloped in the South. For some
reason or other, the thought is
abroad among coaches down in
the deep South that the Tide will
defeat the Green Wave. Person
ally, 1 think that an inspired Tu-
lane will win over Frankie
Thomas team.
Kansas State offered Tulsa. a
fine team, a great battle last Sat
urday. Iowa State tied Biff Jones'
Sooners. This game should be bit
terly contested. Just on account
of Captain Jones, I'll take Okla
homa and pray.
Didn't Run True to Form
Michigan State did not run true
to form against Boston College
last Saturday, but the Spartans
ought to come back with a bang
against Pop" Warmers team
Charlie Bachman, old Notre Dame
star, has a real top team at East
Lansing, Mich, and I'll string
along with Michigan State.
Colgate came into it's own
against West Point and is a greatly
improved eleven, thanks to that
canny Scot, Andy Kerr. Holy
Cross big team probably will &c
down again this weekend.
U. C. L. A. got bit overcon
fident this past week and was I'm
tremendously dumped. However

Railway Pension Acts
Declared Unconstitutional

DENSIONS for railway workers
L received setback when the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme court
ruled unconstitutional two acts
passed by congress last year.
The court held that the govern
ment had no right to levy or col

BILE" companion tax measure pro-
viding for payment of the pensions.
Both acts were passed last year

of railway labor leaders after the

Bird, Animal Pests Not
Kind That Affect Humans

The idea that swallows, bats, fly
ing squirrels and other wild animals
and birds carry on their bodies such
pests as bedbugs and lice of various
kinds and that these birds and ami
mails actually bring them into hu-
man habitations, to the detriment of
the human race, is nothing but SUI
perstition, according to George B.
Lay, Junior Biologist at the North
Carolina State College.
Most O. our native birds carry
at least one species of louise, some
times more than one land often one
species from each of the two orders
of chewing lice and sucking lice
Usually, each species or group of
birds has particular kind of louise
as a permanent resident or occa-
sional visitor and such lice, if they
try to get along on different spe-
cies or group of birds, find the 'ood
not to their liking and die.

the Administrations record in the
past three years and present a
united front in the coming cam
paign characterized the convention.
The abolition of the two-thirds
rule for the nomination of candi-
dates was one of the significant
achievements. This rule, which
had been in use for more than 100
years, was superseded by the adop-
tion of the rules committees report
recommending that at future con-
ventionS only bare majority be
required for nomination. While
some southern and the eastern and
western states opposed abrogation,
they were reconciled to it by the
r. committee recommendation that
changes be made in the apportion-
'ment Of delegates.
The platform pledged continu-
ance of soil conservation, benefit
payments to farmers, a sound cur
rency, a balanced budget and a
constitutional amendment if nee
essary, to achieve the party S
broad social program. 1t praised
the accomplishments of the New
Deal in a preamble, declaring that
it planned to continue them in the
interest of the nation. The plat
FORMS keynote was that the Roose-
welt administration has put and
will keep the nation ION the road
to recovery and prosperity"
Regarding the Constitution, the
platform declared that while the
Republican platform proposes to
meet national problems by action
of the separate states, the Demo-
cratic party recognizes that mini
mum wages, maximum hours, child
labor, monopolistic and unfair busi-
ness practices, dust storms, drouth
and floods could not be handled
by states. 1t stated:
IF these problems cannot be eff
fectively solved by legislation with
in the Constitution, we shall seek
such clarifying amendments as will
assume to the legislatures of the
several states and to the congress
of the United States each within it's
proper jurisdiction, the power to
enact those laws which the state
and federal legislatures within
their respective spheres shall find
necessary, in order adequately to
regulate commerce, protect public
health and safety and safeguard
economic security. Thus we pro-
pose to maintain the letter and spir-
it of the Constitution
In addition to soil conservation
and benefit payments, the farm
plank pledged the Democrats 20 f.
nancing share-croppers and tenants
in buying lands; favored commodi-
ty loans on farm surpluses and re-
tirement of ten million acres of
submarginal land from production
and rural rehabilitation.

CIRCULAR STREETS

especially the motorists, is the,
many circles. How far around a

lem, unless you know your Wash
ington circles. Some tourists, aft
er running around in circles and
getting lost several times, won

circles. anyway.
Washington's many circles have.
a real historical background.
L'Enfant, the French engineer.
friend of George Washington, who
laid out the plans for the National
Capital drew his inspiration, it is
said, from the circles of gay Paris.
In that city where civil insurrec-
tions were then frequent it had
been proven that circles at city
intersections we're quite useful as
weapons of defense against the
rebels. With one gun mounted in
the center of a circle few SOL
diers stationed there could con-
troll any and all of the various ap-
proaches to the circle.
Washington's circles now get the,
blame for much of the city's traf-
fic problem. If the traffic author

year before the AAA became oper-

The report pointed out that cash

ing expenses, taxes and interest
from farm cash income was the
highest in 1885 since 1929, and two
and one-half times greater than it
was in 1882.
Under the AAA, the report sets
forth, rental and benefit payments

Strikes in Provinces
Continue French Unrest

DERSISTENCE of strikes in the
provinces kept France in state
of unrest. A gain of 225,000 new
members was reported by the gen.
eral confederation of labor, organ
lied labor's official body.
Altogether it was estimated that
100000 workers were still absent
from their jobs, in spite of reports
of strike settlements in scattered
sections throughout the country.
The French Riviera witnessed a
general exodus of foreign tourists
from $50 hotels and resorts follow
ing lockout by the proprietors.
The hotels were closed indefinitely
after the employers declared they
could not meet workers demands
for more pay and shorter hours.
This retaliation by the owners
against the threat of a workers
strike upset the summer tourist
season, one of the most profitable
to the French.
