columnist Of the New York Herald
Tribune, wrote the following in con-
nection with the Redskins Green Bay
game here on November %:
bill Crowell is very dignified and
highly respected referee and he is used
to having people listen to him when
he talks. When the Redskins played
the Green Bay Packers In q National
League game, Vice President John
Nance Garner was invited to throw
out the ball at the start of the game
and Crowell was selected to give it to
the v. P. to throw.

in fact, a very impressive speech, and
before the game started he walked
over to the box of honor, carrying the
football, and started of. The cameras
started clicking, the newsreel men
scurried about shooting the scene from
all angles, and Mr.. Garner stood there
bowling and smiling into the lens.

she as she opened the door.
Sue and Sammy went over and
