 Six women speakers, participating yesterday in a nationwide broadcast on the topic Have Women Made Good In Government?" under the auspices of the International Fed eration of Business and Professional Women, agreed that in the maii, they had made good. Opinions as to their degree of accomplishment, however, differed widely.
 They arranged from the prediction of Inez Haynes Irwin, author and feminist, that women have so much more executive ability than men that they will eventually take over the executive functions of govern ment, to the assertion of Charl Or- mond Williams, president of the Ma tional Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, that in spite of their successes women have suffered fom inhibitions of their own creation which have re- tarded their progress: that they have been timid and loath to pit their brains and energies against men, have been afraid of defeat and have not been loyal to each other.
 Given over Station WIZ. New York, from 300 to 3:30 p. m. east ern standard time. the broadcast was a phase of Q simultaneous In- ternational Day observance center ing about the theme women in Government" carried forward in the 24 countries in which there are branches of the International Fed- eration.

100 yards for George Washington.
The Colonials ruled the air, and

Washington's first and fifth touch
downs were scored overhead. A
brilliantly executed pass led to the
third Colonial touchdown, which
featured the third period. Two Of
the Buff and Blues touchdowns
were scored from blocked kicks.
Wake Forest failed utterly to
protect its punter and paid dearly
for it's weakness in fundamentals.
In the second period Lloyd Berry
crashed in on Evans, blocked his
punt, and, snatching the ball out
of the air, ran twenty yards or

in the fourth period. by which time
Wake Forest was completely bat
