Redskins Sign
New Tackle

That the Washington Redskins
don't intend to rest on their
laurels won as Eastern champions
of the National Football League,
when they represented Boston last
fall, was evident today in the an
nouncement that Coach Ray Flah-
erty has signed one of the out
standing tackles of the Far West
Walter Showalter, Of Nevada
University.
ShoWalter, who will graduate in
June, has played three years on
the Nevada varsity. In 1884 as a
sophomore he was chiefly re-
sponsible for Nevada's SO upset
victory over strong St. Mary's, Of
California. Weighing 215 pounds,
he is said to be an outstanding de-
fensive tackle.
The new RedSkin will report for
early training on August 25, three
weeks before the team begins its
first season in the Capital. In its
final season at Boston the Red
skin eleven captured the Eastern
division title for the first time but
bowed to Green Bay for the league
championship.

tants for the five intercollegiate
events. In that quintet North
Carolina has plenty Of speed and
power.
Capt. Jim Fin1ay in the Sprints,
Bill Hendrix in the mile, Fred Ull-
man in the 44O, Reuben Graham
in the hurdles and Leighton Dud-
ley in the pole vault loom as the
greatest competitors offered by
the Tarheels.
More than a little interest at
taches to the appearance in to-
nights meet of six boy athletes
from Hamilton, ontario, who will
compete in three events-the 10
yard dash, the mile relay and the
$50. 1t is interesting to note that
track and field athletes from Ham
ilton have competed in Melbourne,
Australia.
List of Records
The schools records include the
following: 100 yards, :9.9; 22O,
:21.5; 440, :48 flat; $50, 1:5S; mile,
4:32; .440 relay, "a flat; $50 relay,
1882; mile relay, 1927; 2-mile relay,
$40; medley (220, 440, $50 and
mile), 7:50. These marks indicate
that the visiting Canadian school
boys will hold their own tonight.
One of the top events scheduled
for tonight will bring together Joe
Lumpkln, of Richmond University,
and Joe McCluskey, former Ford
ham and Olympic star, now a
member of the New York A. C.'s
senior track and field team. These
two clash in the 2-mile. Many fol
lowers of the sport insist that
Lumpkin can win over McCluSkey,
but the cagey New Yorker always
manages to come through under
just such circumstances.
Another top event will be the
mile relay race between George
town and Fordham. This ought to
be a hummer every step Of the
way.
Bill Ray, Curb Exchange A. c.,
Of New York, looks to be the win
ner of the special "Oriole $780," a
race which should prove SenSa-
tional.
The first event tonight will start
at 1880. There are 81 events on
the program, 27 on track and four
in the field.

Today on the Queen Pin drives,
the much discussed Charlie Olive
super Dub" Sweepstakes will hold
the spotlight. Some IS athletes
of the maple-way whose averages
does not exceed 112 will be Str1v-
ing to knock off Al jenkins crown.
Jenkins copped the title last year
by shooting 1,215 for the seven
game test. Sam Corcoran finished
second with 1901.
The stakes is in honor OF
Charles Olive, whose untiring ef-
forts has helped to make Washing
ton the center of duckpin bowling.
Next Saturday, Bill Wood, gen.
eral manager of the Myer Davis
enterprises in the Nations Capital,
plays host to 100 boWlerS who will
compete in his annual Dub Sweep
stakes at the Lucky Strike alleys.
This event will run for three Sat
urdays.
The event is open to all duck
pinners with league averages OF
lot and under. A field of II shot
in last years contest, which was
won by j. B. Humphreys, Of the
Washington Post, with 15-game
score of LIT.
Although District alleys are dark

not inactive. They travel to Silver
Spring and Baltimore and fire
away at the diminutive wooden
bottles.
Tomorrow the Congressional

7 Western Aces
On Times Five
(COnt. from First Sports Page)

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
in a playoff for the title. An anti.
climax a week ago Friday neces-
STATED this playoff, for Western
defeated Central and Tech beat
Eastern that night in games that
ended the regular schedule. And
when the excitement had died
down Western and Eastern had
finished the string deadlocked for
first place, with seven victories as
against three losses each.
Many Talented Players
Because Of the close race there
were many splendid efforts by
players. The Times All-High group
gets "first prize" of course, but
only after the narrowest of mar
gins. AS to the others, their play
will be remembered for many sea-
sons to come.
For example, Jimmy Vermillion,
Tech forward, played stellar baS-
ketball throughout the series.
Proof Of this is the fact he led his
team in scoring with 73 points and
tied with Russ Lombardy, of East
ern, and Gerald Burns, Of West
ern, for third among the high
point scorers.
Others were Ray Friedrich, Of
Roosevelt, who was easily the best
man of the series under the bas-
ket; Carroll Cotton, Clint Guam
trille and Lee Lusby, of Eastern;
Charlie Clark, of Central; Johnny
Williamson, Tom Country" Dob
ynS and Walton Merchant, of
Tech, and Hugo Schulz and Paul
He'll, of Western.
Schultz, j. Vermillion, Guam
tr1lle, Cotton and Clark are picked
on The Times second team. The
others are honorable mentions and
real ones in this instance.
Picking both Dewitt and Conner
for first team honors might puzzle
some followers. For both played
center on their respective teams,
although Dewitt started the sea-
son at forward for Western.
Little Difference
But there was little difference
in the value of the two players TO
their teams. Dewitt outscored
Conner for the season, but Corners
floor play was as good, if not bet
ter, than DeWitt's. Dewitt scored
81 points to become the runner-up
scorer of the series.
Corners brilliance shone particu-
larly in RooSevelt's thrillers against
Tech, Central and ~aStern in the
second half. The youth was always
getting the ball off the blackboard,
was always Steadying his team
mates in those trying moments,
and was always the man to score
when a score was needed.
Gerald Burns rose to his great.
est heights this year. He was next
to Dewitt in scoring for Western,
and was easily the coolest per.
former Of the series.
In regard to Lombardy and Ver-
million, their play was downright
sensational from beginning to end.

con Christmas he remembered
everyone in the village who had

WOULD AMEND
WEED
Burgin Sees Proposal as
Bar to Promotion of
VINO. Burley Crop

RALEIGH. Jan. 18.-An amend
ment to the tobacco compact
measure will be sought by Rep.
l.. L. Burgin, of Henderson coun-
w, member of the house agricul-
tural committee, when the COM
mittee starts it's consideration OF
the bill.
Opposition to certain features
of the proposed tobacco control
legislation has been expressed by
Mr.. Burgin, who states that the
marketing quota for hurley tobac-
co, based on the average yields OF
1888, 1884 and 1885, does not
take into account the fact that
development of the hurley crop in
Western North Carolina was in its
infancy during these three years.
As a result, the hurley crop in
the western counties will be held
to a minimum yield unless the pro-
visions of the act are changed.
Burgin, one of the leading
farmers of the western section.
and member of the board of d.
rectors of the Farmers Federation
represented the Federation at
AAA hearings in Washington in
1895.
Proposed tobacco legislation is
described rs n revival of the AAA
method of tobacco control under
state. rather than federal, super
vision. There is no provision for
benefit payments, but otherwise
the bill resembles the Kerr-Smith
control act. In cooperation with
commissions of other states, the
n, C. board would fix tobacco mar
keting quotas and yields for every
state and farm. A tax of 20 per
cent would be imposed on tobacco
grown and marketed in excess OF
quotas. Provision is made for
payments to farmers whose crop
might be damaged by fire, wealth
err, or disease.
A state commission of three to
seven members would be set up
and would cooperate with com
missions from other states.

MISSING WPA
MANSOUCHT IN
TACOMA CASE
Disappeared Middle Of De-
cember; Description Is
Like Kidnaper's
SEATTLE PRISONER
AGAIN QUESTIONED

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. Is. -
(UP).-A discharged WPA work
er was being sought last night as u
suspect in the kidnap-slaying of
Charles Mattson, the United Press
learned.
Federal bureau of investigation
agents know the name and the
facts about the life of the man
who told the foreman Of an Ever
EFT, Wash, WPA project:
'1'll never starve as long as
there are rich men around here
who have sons and love them"
The man answers the broadcast
descriptions of the Mattson STAY
or, the United Press informant
said. He even speaks with the
broken foreign accent which has
been announced as one of the dis
tinguishing characteristics Of the
.kidnaper.
Omen and other officers work
ing toward a solution of the mys-
terry have been concentrating their
search on this particular man for
the last seven days, the informant
said.
The former WPA worker was
discharged from a project at Ever
EFT above the middle of December.
No trace of him has been found
since that time.
Meanwhile, it was reported here
that federal agents had gone to
Bellingham, Wash, to continue in
vestigation of Lee Haskell Fowler,
SO, who is being held as a possible
suspect in the case. The report.
however, could not be confirmed.
Fowler was sentenced last Tues
day to 20 years in state prison for
robbery of the Albers Brothers
milling plant here.
Vachtang Tavdguidzke, 29-year-
old China-born Russian from Ash
tho, Manchuria, and his woman
companion who gave the name OF
Mrs. Ruth Graham, 81, were ques-
toned again in Seattle.
Tavdguidzke closely resembled
the descriptions of the man who
broke into the Mattson home on
December 81 and took away the
son of DR.. William W. Mattson,
police said.
Captain John Miller Of the Seat
tie detective bureau said he eX-
amined the suspect in regard to a
burglary in Seattle recently. The
man also is wanted in connection
with the theft of car in San
Francisco, he said.
Tavdguidkze was described as
dark complexioned with black hair.
He has dark eyes and a swarthy
skin. Miller said he is about five
feet 10 inches in height and
weighs 100 pounds.
The FIJI questioned the man Sc,
