Ely High Grid Team
Outplays Virginia to
Mark Fourth Triumph
Locals Retain Top Place in
League by Trouncing
Heavier Team.
1000 FANS SEE GAME
Most Thrilling Game Ever
Played on Range Field,
Say Experts.
BY "Shammy" Somrock


Outplaying their heavier opponents
in total yardage gained and displaying
scoring ability when the opportunity
presented itself, the Ely high school
football team scored its fourth con-
Secutive triumph of the season by
chalking up Is to victory over the
Wanted Virginia high Bluedevils before
more than thousand fans here Sat-
urday afternoon, who were treated to as
thrilling and we'll played football game
as has ever been displayed on a range
gridiron.
To give an idea of the Ely teams
superiority over the Queen City eleven,
the statistics of the game show that
Ely made 9 first downs to Virginias
6 and gained 167 yards by rushing and
lost five for net total of 162 while
the VirginianS had 80 yards from
scrimmage and lost % for net gain of
So Virginia had the edge in forward
passing as they completed aerials out
of 20 for a gain of 81 yards while Ely
completed out of attempts for 63
yards. Ely intercepted two of Vir-
ginia's passes while the visitors inter-
cepted one of the locals.
AS in other games this season, the
locals were first to score and lost no
time in performing the trick. After
receiving the opening kickoff and ex-
changing punts, Ely took the ball on
their own % yard line and from there
launched a u yard sustained drive
which resulted in touchdown. On the
parade to the goal, Perko and Buckley
combined on two plays to make it a
first down on the Ely SO; Perko tried
the line twice and picked up four yards
and on the next play LouShin was
sprung loose on reverse for IL yards
and a first down on the Virginia 49,
Buckley and Perko again each took a
try and carried to the So for first down.
Hall, on an end run, went 10 yards to
the II yard line where he was run out
of bounds. Perko gained on the next
attemptand the next two plays failed to
gain
On the fourth down, Buckley faded
back to his 80 yard line and cleverly
evaded four Virginia tacklers from
where he fired a rifle pass to Loushin,
who standing on the goal line in the
corner of the playing field, went up in
the air to snatch the ball with a SEN
Sational baseball catch and fell over the
goal line for a touchdown. Perko, on
line smash, converted for the extra
point to give Ely point lead with
the game about 8 minutes old
The score and lead were short-lived,
however, as Virginia, taking the kick
off came back soon after to knot the
count. Putting the ball in play on their
own 38 after the kickoff, the Blue
devils combined a running game with a

HOUSING GUILD
PICTURE HERE
"The House That Anne Built
To Be Shown at the Ely
Theatre Saturday.

"The House That Anne Built" a talk
ing picture, said to be the first to use
Hollywood technique in dramatizing tC
the public the deep-rooted instinct OF
man to improve his home, will be shown
at the Ely Theatre on Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The film could not
be secured for an evening showing
owing to the demand, hence will be
shown in the morning. The show
ing will be free and the public IS cor
daily invited to attend.
The picture which stars Beverly
Bayne, James Spotswood and Neil
ODay, an outstanding cast of Broad
way and Hollywood actors, is full OF
action and human interest. 1t was
produced and directed by Luther Reed
who directed such hit movies as "Rio
Rita" and 'Hell's Angels"
The plot involves a family divided
as to whether they should build a new
house or remodel fathers old home
stead. After much argument the parents
decide on a new home and take va
cation in the South while it is being
built. During their absence, the
daughter, Anne, arranges to have the
dilapidated, old house modernized also
and at the same time, falls in love with
the young architect who designs both
jobs. The problem of having two
houses on their hands is solved when
the young people announce they are to
be married and the modernized home
stead is presented to them as a we'd
ding gift.
A feature of this production is the
remarkable transformation of the
chicken coop" shanty into handsome
home and the striking interiors de-
signed by Laurelle v. A. Guild, prom
inent industrial designer. The picture
is full of ideas on the use of modern
building materials and shows them in
recreation rooms, kitchens, dinettes AND
bathrooms. An old house was actually
remodeled for $500 while the picture
was being filmed.
Arrangements for the showing of the
film was made by the Johns-Manville
company through their local head
quarters, the McMahan Lumber Com
pany, home of the ely Housing Guild

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The biggest and best apple
crop in years is flooding the
American market to be sold to
you at bargain prices and the
apple is much in the public eye.
In consequence the heavy crop
will be moved with celebrity and
economy through newspaper
advertising and at prices that
will return the producer a
reasonable profit, at the same
time giving the consumer big
values for his money. The
chain stores and many of the
independents are buying apples
by the carload, selling fast,
eliminating every possible dis
tribution and overhead cost and
passing the savings on to the
buyer. A grower-consumer
benefit campaign is on and with
the assistance of newspaper
advertising campaign is making
the buyer apple conscious and
creating a desire for the
luscious fruit.

been warmly recommending that
the proposed memorial take the

BOOK IS CLUE
IN GIRL DEATH

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. pa
water-soaked note book was being
examined by police today for a
clue to the identity of the slayer
Of Mrs. Anita Botelho, attractive
young matron,' whose partially
nude, ice encrusted body was
found early yesterday in a creek
bordering Mills College, swank
girls school, near here.
Bruises, finger-marks an d
scratches about the woman'S
breasts, neck and legs led author
tiles to believe that Mrs. Botelho
had been killed during a struggle
with an assailant.
James S. Williams, AZ, a garage
operator, voluntarily surrendered
to police yesterday after reading
accounts Of Mrs. Botelho's death.
He said that he had been drink
ing with Mrs. Botelho and had
taken her for an automobile ride,
but left her early yesterday, police
declared.
The dead woman is the mother
of a 4-yearold daughter, Shirley,
and has been estranged from her
husband, George Botelho, for some
time.

starve as the automobile business
feasts or starveS.
In Michigan alone, according to
the latest General Motors figures,
98,672 persons are idle as a result
of the strike. In 10 StateS-Michi-
gan, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio,
New Jersey, Wisconsin, Tennessee,
Missouri, Georgia and New York
the corporation estimates 1874, ,667
are jobless.
What the situation means in
Michigan, State most severely af-
fected, was determined by a sur
vey of the present status of retail
business in four typical cities un-
dertaken by International News
Service.
In Flint population, 156,442) !,
36,772 workers are idle.
Business Falls Off
Typical of the general retail stu
alton there were the statements of
Charles D. Crawford and John
Wernicke, merchants. Crawford,
haberdasher, told International
News Service:
During the course of the
last Is days our business has
fallen off one third. In addi.
tiOn to that our outstanding
accounts have stopped COM
pletely."
WerniCke. credit manager of the
Hubbard Hardware Company, said:
"Our retail business has fallen
off rs per cent and our whole
sale business has been affected
a third"
Many others gave figures indi-
eating that this was typical of
conditions throughout the city.
In Pontiac population 64.89D
inquiry indicated retail business
has fallen off sharply since the
strike started. There are 9,100
idle there now.
In Saginaw population 80,685)
Charles w. Haensel, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, spoke
very frankly. General Motors fig
ures show there are 1859 idle
there. He said:
II should estimate that the
retail business in our city is off
by two.thirdS."
The effect of the strike in these
typical Michigan industrial cities
extends, so far as retail trade is
concerned. far beyond the actual
present numbers of idle auto
workers.
This is because men still at
work are boarding their pay
checks against the impending day
when they too will be laid off by
plant shut downs.

Wants Complete Plan
The Presidents idea at present,
which is being discussed in
formally, would be to present a
complete plan for enough new
Government buildings to fill all
the needs for office space for many
years to come-and then to pay
for it annually by congressional
appropriations covering a period
of 10 years.
The fact that there is a plan
evolved for the future of Govern

new, for the President and others
