they were figured to beat.
Bill Guckeyson, Maryland'S
great back, may have had his
chances for an all-America rating
hurt materially by his fondeSt ad-
mirers, the editors of the student
paper at College Park. "Blushing
Bill" was highly publicized in a
special edition of the Diamond
back that appeared at College
Park Saturday morning and so
much burden was put on his
shoulders that it was evident that
Guckeyson, had the "jitters" hours
before the game.
AS a consequence he made more
fumbles in the contest with
v. M. I. than he probably has
in all the rest of his grid career.
Bill can take it" as an athlete,
but when it comes to the hero
stuff, he is the type that is placed
at q great psychological disad-
vantage.

Cowboy Returns
ToWin Column

Cowboy Howard Scott is back
In the boxing win column here.
He defeated Pete Mascia, of
New York, in 10 rounds in the
feature bout at the Arena last
night.
The bout was not of the best
seen locally. 1t lacked action,
chiefly because Mescia would
clinch every time Scott would let
loose a barrage of punches. and
because Scott was not as aggres-
sive as in former appearances.
Apparently the Cowboy was shy
as a result of his two defeats in
his last two bouts.
AS it was, Scott won the unani-
nous decision of the judges. His
hit.and-run tactics gained him suf-
ficient points, but even if he'd
fought his former aggressive fight
it might have found Mascia con-
tinually clinching.
Joey Straiges trounced Jimmy
Tramberia in the six-round semi
final. The other supporting fea-
lures had Country Boy Baggett
knocking out Rusty Baker; Vim
cent Solther winning from Al Mar
cisco by decision, and Young Pal
mer winning from Lou de Mario.

"The game remains as it was
when l played" said this grand
old warrior with a gesture that
spanned the so years of football
he knows so we'll and loves so
dearly. The essence of defense
remains a hard charge and a
sharp tackle. The great funda-
mental of attack is in a sharp
charge of the line and now, the
blocking of the backs.

in 1906 has changed the game

Fine Record
This group of II seniors have
played a lot of football for Catho-
lie u, with most of it being Of
the winning brand. AS freshmen
four years ago under the coach
ing of Eddie La Fond, it won
four grid tilts.
AS members of the 1884 varsity
eleven, it aided in winning four
games against three defeats and
a tie. Last season, as juniors,
they were members of what is
generally conceded to be Catholic
us greatest football team, when
eight of nine games were won,
which includes the postseason
game with Mississippi in the
Orange Bowl and Miami, Fla. So
far this season as seniors, the
team has won four games and has
dropped three. This makes a
total of 20 wins against 7 losses
and one tie, for an average Of TAO.
Leave Out Juniors
It is hard to select the outstand-

Joe Yacnhulis, the regular center

been the custom in the final game

Splits Stars
OF BASEBALL
In ! EraS
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor


High in the Lauren
tians of quaint Quebec
may seem a strange
place to find a fresh
baseball slant, where
as the scent was sup
posed to be of the
moose, the mink and
the muskrat.
But there, seated before the
dancing reflections of the eve
ming fire sat my host, Joe Page,
home from the hunt, no doubt
contemplating his nights bed
made down in boughs of the
pungent balsam.
Rising seventy, and trailing the
hills beyond majestic Tremblant
which lure big game sportSmen
from many quarters of the COM
pass, Joe Page is yet spry of limb
and nimble of mind.
Can Go AWay Back
He is still an accredited scout
of the Chicago White Sox for the
younger ComiSkey, is Joe Page, as
he was for the late Charles Com
iskey, noblest baseball Roman of
them all, and having had vast
(minor league) playing career
which started somewhere around
1882, he can go away back in base
ball memories.
So there seemed nothing better
to do that zero evening tucked
away on Lake Ouimet with its
tamarack cabins and crude log
hunks, than to spring the age-old
question on Page-the question
that has been asked a thousand
times by a thousand reporters, OF
q thousand men qualified to reply.
Would M'sieu La Page therefore
be so good as to give his rendition
of an all-time an-Star major
league baseball team, based on his
copious observations from such
vantage points as Kansas City,
Windsor, Big Rapids, Canton,
Indianapolis, Mo'real and way
points?
M'sieu La Page would-gladly. 1t
Uas q night for reminiSCing any,
way, and, too, the hours drag
in thoze balsam hunks when
surcease is sought from the long
daily climbs in thick going for
the pronged creatures OF the
burn.
And here mine host gave a new
response to the time-Worn query
which ever radiates tWixt baseball
writer and sage.
Two Answers, Indeed
To M'sieu La Pages way OF
thinking, the answer should be
split into two sections, like those
split seasons in so many OF the
minor leagues he used to grace at
first base, third and betimeS be-
hind the bat.
M'sieu La Page thinks that ball
players previous to 1900 and ball
players thereafter belong in sep
arate inches, principally due to
the playing conditions, equipment
and the general nomenclature OF
the eras divided by such date.
For instance, the development
of the mitts, gloves, chest pro
tectors, shinguards, masks and
cleated shoe covered a long, long
time before reaching the state
which obtains in current times.
Why then is it equitable to
choose between a first baseman
like Lou Gehrig, who has had the
benefit of every modern device.

that the organization probably

With Name Ernest on Lips
after Rescue from 4 uulancHe

The exposure and shock of be-
ing under the slide was more than
was possible for a three-year-
to endure and the little spark IF
life went out.
When the child was found she was
lying face down on a plank and
was half covered with a trunk which
was filled with straw. Her left
hand was pinned fast by timbers
which crushed it badly, and foe
forty eight hours was forced to lay
in the same position by pressure
from all sides. AS she was picked
up, the first thing she did was TO
push the mass of brown curly hair
from her face.
Arriving at the hospital she was
able to ask for something to eat.
She did not cry but stared out Of
her large brown eyes as if she was
trying to ask the cause of women
dressed in white hurrying back
and forth with warm milk and wa
ter, and why two doctors looked
at her so very seriously.
The Vanili family had apparently
just been going out on Sunday when
the slide made its unchallenged
path. For Lorraine had on pink
silk party dress and some gold
beads over this was pair
of ski pants and green jacket
which kept her warm during these
hours under the slide. Debris was
piled all around her and she was
forced to remain in the same posi-
ton and was unable to move On
account of her hand being pinned
by the timbers.
Mattielli knew she was alive down
there and knew her voice. Miners
passing on their way home from
work were told that some one was
alive. 1t was only matter of min
utes before mud was being moved
as fast as was huEianly possible.

not been found. 1t was he who
picked her up in the slide and she
remembered it as she passed away.
When he first called down to her
in that mud and muck yesterday
afternoon, he asked if she knew

MATANUSkA IS
UNDER ATTACK
FROM THOMAS
Oklahoma Senator Says
Colony Is Failure
and Other Things

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-United
States Sen ator Elmer Thomas,
Democrat of Oklahoma, who spent
a month on the Alaska Peninsula
this last summer with Senators
Frazier of North Dakota and Ship
stead of Minnesota, said the Gov
ernment's effort to plant colony
in the Matanuska Valley is a
failure"
Senator Thomas said he was con-
WINGED that the ambitious home
stead project would collapse as
soon as Federal aid is withdrawn
The experiment is worth every pen
ny it cost because it proved once
and for all, that Alaska is not
suitable for a large scale of coloni-
cation.
Two Seasons
THE Matanuska Valley has only
two seasons-July and winter.
Because the sun shines "a hours
"a day during the brief summer sea-
son. vegetables grow in lush abund-
ance but the rapid growth makes
them watery, virtually worthless for
marketing.
THE Matanuska radishes tasted
like icicles and the potatoes have
to be dried out in a slow oven be-
fore they can be stored even for a
short time.
Ready to Quit
"One third of the 400 families in
the settlement is ready to quit al
though they will stick it out as
long as the Government keeps
pouring money into the project
Seventy-five families have already
gone"
Senator Thomas estimated that
the scheme has cost about $4,000
per family. He further said the
homesteaders will never be able to
repay the Government or even sup
port their own schools.
Senator Thomas conclude d +:
Their produce cannot be sold read
lily, even in the local markets, be-
cause most Alaskans can buy bet
ter vegetables from the U. s. and
about at the same cost"
