$lO,OOO DAMAGES
 SOUGHT BY WOMAN
Mrs. Florence Hunter f Suing Rollie Benson and
 Connecticut Company

Damages of $10,000 are asked in the civil action of Mrs. Florence Hunter of this city against Rollie Benson and the Connecticut com- pany, which was brought to trial in the court of common pleas today, with Judge Miles F. McNif pre- siding.
 Mrs. Hunter claims damages to compensate for injuries suffered in an accident at the corner of East Main and Ambrose streets, Septem- Der 1, 1886. The accident involved the automobile of the plaintiff, driv- en by her son, Robert, and the ve- hicle of the defendant Rollie Ben son, but the Connecticut Company is implicated because 1t Is alleged that it was in part responsible for the crash.
 It is alleged in the complaint that the Hunter car was proceeding along East Main street, following the bus, which went to the curb to either discharge or take on a passenger. The bus suddenly swung out from the curb, causing the Hunter car to swerve away, and the collision with the Benson car followed. Attorney William K. Lawlor represents the plaintiff in the case, and the de- lenses are represented by Carmody & Thoms, and Attorney David M. Pelgrift.

 "The status of the case is this, " Fitts explained. Attorney Murphy brought the deposition to my atten- ton some time ago. Yesterday it was filed in court and became part of the court records.
 Therefore immediately I moved to learn why Mrs. Fillmore made these statements. I demanded that she come before the grand jury and explain them. It seemed to me she should make an explanation before some official body"

An un- favorable report given by the com mittee on citeis and boroughs, indl- cated that the plan was defeated in vote taken at a town meeting which took place several weeks ago.
 Authority to close any and all streets he deems necessary during the extensive paving program to be carried on in Waterbury was grant, ed in the house today to Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas J. Elem ing of Waterbury. Last week this privilege was granted in the Senate and the action of the House today means that only the governors sig nature is now needed before the program will be underway.

 5. Opponents of the proposed $200, 100000 Florida ship canal sought to determine whether it conforms with the Presidents econ- olny plans.
 It was understood that several committee chairrnen aligned with the House leadership generally were backing Warren's fight. One pro- posal was to force earmarking of relief on reasonable basis for next year, limiting Hopkins to a certain amount for each three month period
 Supporters of that plan believed it would cut down relief costs over an annual period, preventing the ad- ministration for coming before con- gress next session for further funds

>that Georgetown's play In the
first half Of the Hornet game is
Georgetown's average. which, of
course, it Is not.
The line remains the most
potent factor in football victories.
Georgetown has a real forward
wall. However, the Hoya backs
must improve enormously this
week, and probably will.
The Hagerty-coached combina-
ton is in an ideal position to sur
prise the Crusaders. Georgetown
right now is in that stage OF de-
velopment when a few dayS-three
or four good days-win witness
Georgetown's greatest improve
ment. The Hoyas will not be over
confident against Holy Cross as
they were against the Hornets IN
the first half. On the contrary
GEORGETOWN will be a f1ghtlns
team, an up-an-at-'em comolna'
ton.
This Georgetown team, besides
having enormous possibilities, has
great intestinal fortitude. II half
of Georgetown's possibilities reach
the stage Of certainty by Saturday
the Hoyas will win over the CRU
saders. A team which will not be
beaten cannot be beaten.
Georgetown's running guards
must improve if the HoyaS are
going to win over Holy Cross. II
by any chance the Hoya running
guards are as slow against the
Crusaders as they were against
Shenandoah, the jig is up.
AGAINST the Hornets, the George.
town guards assigned the duty OF

Despite Georgetown's unimpres-
sive showing of Saturday, when
the Hoyas defeated the Hornets.
of Shenandoah, 80 to 0, by virtue
of a last half comeback, Jack Ha-
gerty's team has great possibilities
greater possibilities than any
team Hagerty has coached since he
came to Georgetown five years ago.
Holy Cross scouts probably have
gone back to worcester and ex-
blamed Georgetown's glaring er'
rors in the Shenandoah game.
They probably have told Crusader
coaches that Hoya receivers OF the
forward pass were in the clear
several times only to drop gooo
passes or have hurlerS throw the
ball out Of reach.
They probably have recited the
circumstances under which three
Hoya backfield men could not
block out one Hornet tackler when
that one Hornet tackler was the
sole member Of the opposition be-
tween a Hoya ball-carrier and a
touchdown. They probably have
said that Georgetown's kicking Is
awful. They probably have
pointed out that on three occaS-
sions at least Hoya backfield men
should have intercepted Hornet
overheads and galloped down clear
fields for touchdowns. but did not:

Hchange in scenery. So would
Buddy Myer. They still are good
ball players, but this club is going
nowhere with them.
The pitching staff must be built
around the youngsters. Joe Kra-
kauskas, Ken Chase. perhaps Joe
Kohlman, and then there will be
Yves Terrell and Jimmy DeShong.
You must reckon on those men
despite their disappointing per-
formanceS this season.
Perhaps the Griffs will make
that deal for Bonura. They could
have done it long time ago, but
the David Harums outSmarted
each other. It was great, but the
GriffS lost a power hitter, which
is what the Griffs need beyond all
other things.
AL Simmons may pass along to
other fields. The Griffs bought
him for the waiver price to protect
themselves, and he did a pretty
good job, all things considered.
Simmons is problem player. At
times he looked like the worst hit
ter in the world, and at times he
did all right. He no longer is the
power threat that he used to be.
Yet his fielding was good, his arm
was strong, and his alert thinking
saved many situation. He may
come back.
AS we look ahead, the outfield
next year will be George Case in
right, Johnny Stone in left, and
Melo Armada in center field. The
others may be traded or released.
