championship Dut tney OeNnltely seem
to be the upset team" of the league.
They knocked off the world champion
Green Bay Packers, to open the season,
and then lost to Detroit. Now they
leave town with the scalpe Of the sup
posedly invincible Redskins
They did not exactly push the
Redskins around last night.
without knowing much about
inside foot ball l would say the
Cards simply surprised the
Washingtonians.
Tnsley proved to be one of the most
amazing foot ball players and oppor-
tunists ever to set foot in Griffith
Stadium. With a bow to Sammy
Baugh he was by all odds last night the
best man on the field. Not only did he
grab passes to score all three Of the
Cardinal touchdowns but Tinsley, and
Versil Deskin and Billy Wilson, who
also are ends, seemed to toss several
good d-sized wrenches into the Redskins
offensive workings.
Redskins Points Come Fancy.
MR. BAuGH was no bum out there.
" He completed an admirable quota
Of passes, and both Of Washington's
touchdowns came AZ q result Of those
passes. But it probably has been some
time since Sam Adrian OF Temple,
Tex, was as harassed by ends as
by those determined wingmen Of the
Cardinals.
In line with this autopsy business, it
seems to me that an important note
on the Redskins Is that in 100 min
utes OF play 50 far they haven't scored
. point on straight foot ball yet
whatever the term straight foot ball"
may mean in this day and league.
What Is meant here. though. is that
against the Giants last week Mr..
Riley Smith kicked two field goals
and scored 4 touchdown by intercept
ing an enemy pass.
Last night Cliff Battles and
Charlie Malone crossed the goal
line for the Redskins and both
did It after catching one Of
Slinsin' Sans strikes.
This may or may not be important.
The Redskins should have 4 powerful
ground attack. what with running
backs ike Battles and Don Erwin and
Baugh, and blocking backs like Ernie
Pinckert and Smith. Maybe it is
figured the shortest distance to the
enemy goal is via the air. That is
logical. I am only wondering.
Tinsiey vindicates Cards Judgment.
GETTING back to this Tinsley-and
the Redskins we're back of him
three poignant times last night-he
seems to be Baugh's chief rival for
the title of the National Leagues
outstanding rookie Of the year. Last
season Tuffy Leemans Of the Giants
was the prize. Now the crop seems
larger and classier.
Because they ran last in the league
in 1895, Chicago's Cardinals were
given f1rst choice In the college draft.
They chose Tinsley Of Louisiana State.
For two straight years he
had been an all-America selec-
sWH - Civ, Uuss eVcu %, Cnl-
cago's choice caused . lifting
- eyebrows.
Outside of Grosvenor, who was
known on q large scale only to the
National League trade, the Cards had
few name" players and 1t was ex-
pected that . great back like Baugh
or Sam Francis or Falaschi would be
the No. l choice Of the tail-enders.
Instead, they grabbed Tinley and
at the moment the Cards probably
have the two best ends in foot ball
in Gaynell and Bill Smith OF the Uni
versity Of Washington. Smith was
hurt and could not play last night
except for a few stray seconds. but
they say that. If anything, he is better
than TinsyAv

Heating a Question Mark.

WHETHER Moulin or Tom Keating
wv will be the regular general this
season is one of a number of such
problems the coaching staff will pass
on during the coming week. The
squad is shot through with tight rival
ries and Hagerty plans to name his
first string lineup only a day or two
before the Shenandoah game and this
swill be half tentative.
Keating, a player of varied talent,
looked to be backfield WOW in the
making as a sophomore, but was 50
hampered last season by injury that
his true ability couldn't be deter
mined.
In the Maryland game Joe Keegin
looked to this reporter to be the most
dependable ball carrier in the George
town backfield but not of the type
that the Hoyas, with that rock-ribbed
line and with at least one discerning
and generous blocking back, could
, make the most use of. The Blue and
Gray hasn't possessed an honest-to-
heaven go-to-town runner since Coach
Hagerty finished his varsity career in
1925.
Tony Barabas, whose brothers Steve
and AL preceded him with distinction
as pigskin steeds-Steve at Georgetown
and AL at Columbia-might be the
man of the moment. Tony started at
Georgetown as an end, and last season
was transferred to the backfled be-
eo,ico of his speod Tbot ,,oodod
blocker may be Wilfred Valiquette, a
Junior, who also is swift enough tc
carry the mail on time.

Close to half million foot
VI ball fans-a big crowd in any
mans language-were expect
ed to turn out for score OF the big
games today as the curtain rolled up
for the grand opening of the 1897
season.
This gathering. unusual for this time
of the year to say the least. was at
tracted by schedule that would do
credit to October, when the
major" attractions usually are just
starting. In every section, from the
conservative East, native habitat OF
the gridiron 'pushover, to the Pacific
Coast, there were meetings between
outstanding teams and the crowds that
turn out annually for such games.
Starting the Far Western season of
with a bang. and incidentally giving
an early line on the conference cham
pionship and Rose Bowl prospects,
California and ST. Mary's expected to
lure $4,000 customers through the
gates; Stanford and Santa Clara
looked for 10000, while the inter-
sectional clash which found Wash
ington favored over Iowa's Hawkeyes
was expected to draw $4,000.
Columbus Turns Out.
THE four-star attraction of them
i all. however, was the meeting in
that notoriously foot ball-mad town
of Columbus. Ohio, OF Ohio State and
Texas Christian. The Buckeyes an
ticipated a gathering of $4,000. CO.
lumbus wasn't far ahead of Minneapo-
lis in foot ball fever. however, for

Minnesota belt over North Dakota

Three other Big Ten outfits, Illinois
Indiana and Purdue. faced stiff oppo-
sition in Ohio University. Centre and
Butler, respectively, but Wisconsin
wasn't looking for trouble from South
Dakota State.

The hold-over guards are Joe and
haan and Jim Hill. Joe Franks prob
ably will be greatly improved line

last season in an attempt to make
him a blocking back but this Fall
he is giving all his effort to the line

On the hanks the Hoyas should do
very well indeed with the seasoned
Maury Nee, Al Snyder, Dave Noonan
and John Cavadine.
And at center-ah. people, George
town has sump'n'. If better middle
man than Law Hardy played in the
East last season some of the most
observing experts did not take note.
Now their captain, the Hoyas look
to him not only as an all-round fine
performer but also splendid leader.
His understudy is John Riofski, who,
incidentally, has sprained wrist.

Moulin 4 Strategist.


IT WON'T be a surprise to some Il
Elmer Moulin. quarterback, be-
comes the star Of the Georgetown
backfeld. In his freshman and So
phomore years Elmer, the only foot
ball player We know without a nick
name, intrigued the coaches with an
Unsuitable inquisitiveness. He's a
thinker-up of foot ball problems and
Hagerty says Of him:
ct doubt II there's situation that
possibly could come up on a foot ball
field that Moulin hasn't inquired
into"
He can think under fire also. AS an
example, Georgetown blew touch
down opportunity last year when the
ball carrier wouldn't heed Emers yell
to lateral. Later analysis proved
Moulin's calculation of odds eminently
sound.
Hagerty, himself harassed with flu,
Is haunted with thoughts of injuries.
At no time during the 1885 campaign
was Georgetown without an injured
key man. But for casualties the Hoyas
easily might have finished unde-
feated. They played most of their
games not only with a star or two
missing, but with the entire works
slowed by minor ailments, yet lost
only to Manhattan and Miami.

OoMsTITUTlQN


 WEARY with the war for inde- " pendence, the American cole onies avidly welcomed the aid of France at an hour when the strug- gle loomed blackest during the Revolution.
 Franklin had gone to Paris himself to enlist support and there had found the willing ear of Lafayette. And on that trip Franklin brought back Casimir Pulaski, who consented to aid the colonies under French persuasion. French funds, French military ex- perience was given, doubtless as q left-hand slap at England, but given generously nevertheless. So the battle for American. inc dependence and the eventual set- ting up of a new form of gov- ernment became inextricably linked to the capital on Seine. When, in l787, our Constitution was finally adopted, France was among the first of world powers to bow in congratulation. And many decades later Frances Bar. tholdi was to execute the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor as symbol of mutual democratic aspirations and amity.
 Now France. on the l50th anni- versary of our Constitution, hon- ors the nation again with a special commemorative stamp, shown here. Columbia and Liberty grip hands across the waters.

 Promptly ct 0:25 she interrupted to say, Tt is almost time for our news broadcast, Miss Benton. Had you not better turn on the radio2"
 Linda hurried to do so with trembling fingers Perhaps some of those other flyers who were hunting had already found the lost plane.
 There were the usual. run-of- the-mill items about unimportant things-like the Spanish revolu- ton and the bombing in China. Then the announcer said, And now we take you to the County Airport, where Captain Trent, ace flyer of the United States Navy, is about to take of on the first leg of his daring attempt to locate the lost Aurelius expedition"
 There was a brief pause. Then another voice took up the story. A number of people had col- lected at the field, it seemed = friends of Captain Trent and sight-seers lured by the hope of seeing the daring young pilot about whom they had heard so much.
 There followed a brief account of the attempts made Up to date by Mexican and Central Ameri- can authorities as well as by United States military flyers from the Panama, to locate the lost scientists.
 Captain Trent" the announcer said, "having flown over that part of the country with Lieutenant Rust when they were both sta- toned in the Panama, and having discussed his plans with him re- gently, has probably 8 more dfi- nite idea than any one else what spots he would have been likely to choose for a landing - forced or otherwise. It is hoped"
 Then abruptly the announcers voice lifted an interval.
 And here, ladies and gentle men," he cried, "is Captain Trent, himself, directly under our booth. By the brilliant field lights we can see him clearly - bronzed, 1.-the, and handsome. He is standing by his plane - beautiful ship which has been specially requisitioned and conditioned for the peculiar necessities of this flight He has some papers in his hand, which he is apparently checking over with an official. You'd never dream, to see him, that he is about to risk his life"
 Old Miranda snorted and mutter- ed something vitriolic about "hyster- ical land-lubbersl"
 She was sitting a little straight CT than usual, and her fingers had frightened on the arms of her chair. Now she glanced down and carefully relaxed them.
 The broadcast grew more lyric:
 Nov Captain Trent's teeth are flashing as he smiles and waves to a friend who has just called something to him"
 Linda shut her eyes, the better to recall Barry's smile.
 Tn a moment we hope to coax the captain, himself to the micro- phone He's coming this way now Won't you please clear path there, gentlemen, so that we can get Captain Trent through
