storytelling foot ball coaches

Writer'S Association, Gus Welch also
is slowly. and, more Importantly, ac-
complishing that for which he was
brought to Washington-giving Amer
lean University new deal in sports.
Already the school is gaining new
respect from those who formerly
laughed OF its games with "you-
take~'em, I'll-leave-'em" attitude,
simply through acquaintance with
Welch. "A. U. must be going some
where If it goes out and gets a
man like that" they reason. And it
looks that way.
In this connection, it does not
seem too far-fetched TO compare
American us present situation with
that in which George Washington
University found itself in the first
year of Jim Pixlee's reign. At that
time 1t was hard to convince the
Washington foot ball public that a
Transformation was In process at the
school which hitherto had been a
nonentity in local grid circles. Then,
as IN the case of A. u. at present,
few persons outside the @. w. student
body attended the Colonials' home

- HICAGO, Oct. 25.-The New
I York Giants, who've been
\ sailing smoothly through the
~ Eastern Division waters Of
the National Professional Football
League, may run into quite a blow
from the West next week end.
The Giants whipped Brooklyn's
Dodgers impressively yesterday for a
fourth straight victory and have lost
only one game. But they'll look at
storm signals next Sunday when the
Chicago Bears, only undefeated club
in the circuit, invade the Polo Grounds
to give the New Workers their flrst

The second incident, showing
Welch's sense Of humor and willing
ness to let the boys play for plays sake
alone, arose last Saturday at Emmits-
burg, where the Eagles played Mount
st. Mary's. Toward the end of the
first half, Welch noticed . sub on
the bench who never even had been
in scrimmage. With only 4 few
minutes of the half remaining, the
coach thought it would be good time
for the players baptism Of fire and
called him to his side for instructions.

governor of Georgia.
Fleming Willis, 80. was a picture
of confusion and despair. The cur
rent feud between Georgia and Mas
sachusetts had snatched him off
the chain gang and sent him into
exile in what to him was strange
and unpromising land.
Gov. E. D. Rivers paroled Willis
from the chain gang where he was
serving 10 months for operating
lottery, provided that he would
live in Massachusetts during the
period he is on parole. Rivers took
his action to call attention to the
refusal of Gov. Charles Hurley of
Massachusetts, to allow the extra
dition of fugitive from the Geor-
gia chain gang arrested in Hurley's
state.

Willis put the tools of his trade,
a razor, a comb and pair of
Shears-he'S barber-into the
pocket of his frayed coat, found
out what highway led to the dis
tant land Of Massachusetts, and
went there by trolley He thought
perhaps with good luck he's reach
his destination by tonight, but
persons better informed of dis
tances, told him that it would take
him several days of thumbing
rides.
Gov. Rivers summoned the Negro
from the chain gang to the state
house yesterday and told him that
his application for parole had been
granted conditionally.
You must live in Massachusetts,"
he said, land you'd better make
them a goou citizen up there"
Rivers commented in statement:
Gov. Hurley seems to be in
need of some extra lottery oper-
ators. Well, we'll give him one."
Willis, known as Sing, had
no money at all and employees at
the state house Clipped in II cents
to buy him cigarettes.

Willis, through his attorney, had
filed an application for parole,
promising to move from Georgia
to Massachusetts. The application
as prepared by the lawyer said
