Generals Tied Again.
COACH JOHNNY BAKERS WASH

- ington-Lee High outfit still is un-
defeated in six games, but the Little
Generals nevertheless are wondering
if they'll ever win again. They re-
corded their third tie of the season
yesterday as Gonzaga battled them to
Q 1913 stalemate.
Gonzaga holds the distinction Of
compiling more first downs than
Wsshington-Lee's five previous oppo-
nents combined, but they still are
paying off on touchdowns and the
Little Generals have acquired the
happy faculty of pushing points over
at timely moments.
The Little Generals, trailing, 1871,
struck back two plays after Gonzaga
had forged to lead midway in the
last period. Tommy Simpson tied
the score on 35-yard gallop after
snaring pass from Curly Sprinkle.

What Trostar did in that race far
exceeded his masters fondest hopes.

race, he coupled him with everything
in the first race to get crack at the

and spread plays 1t also had one Of
the weaker defenses to be displayed
in Washington this year. AS Mr.. Bryan
Morse so aptly remarked in the press
box:
amy team that can hold the
ball for any length Of time ought
to murder the Tulsas."
Ofhand you would have to agree
with Mr.. Morse, who is an old hired
hand of George Washington. 1t is
quite likely the Manhattan scouts who
were studying Tulsa from the stands
were struck with the same idea. The
trouble last night was that Tulsa got
the ball in every other quarter from
the Colonials and went to town.
ColoniaIs Lack Varied Attack.
IT SEEMS logical that the average
football coach would like to COM
bine measure of Tulsa's raZzle-dazzle
with a stouter and more conventional
defense and without trying to be sar-
castle this department somehow Won
ders IL Mr. Jim Pixlee of the George
Washingtons ever was struck with same
thought. Nobody was surprised when
Tulsa's Mr. Tommy Thompson out
pitched the Colonial paSsers. because
fine passing seems to be bred into the
average back from the Southwest.
BY comparison, the hurting OF
George Washington's joey Kaufman
seemed both weak and pointless,
possibly through no fault Of his own.
At any rate, what with G. w. having
players on its roster from 18 States
and the District of Columbia, it is to
wonder why somebody who can throw
8 football, and somebody who can
catch one and go places, isn't lured to
George Washington sooner or later.
Of course. throwing the hooks
into the G. w. board of strategy
even by suggestion might be
sticking out your chin today.
The touchdown that tied the score
In the last quarter was tinged with
luck. what with Tulsa's Mr. Mcclure

 At an executive committee meet ing at the YMCA last night, MT, Smith commented of Governor Cross selection of Harry w.

Our members can well be pleased with the governors choice.
 MT. Marsh has had broad exper- fence under the New York City Civic Service commission which rates as one of the leading commis- sions in the country.
 Few people realize that Mayor LaGuardia has developed an out standing career system in the city's civil service. It will be remembered that Mayor La Guardia come to Con- necticut to secure Dr. Rice as head of the New York department of health"

New Yorker Named By Gov. Cross to Head Civil

Hartford, Conn, May 21.--CUP). Gov. Cross nomination of New Yorker to head the states newly created civil service system rested uneasily today in his democratic controlled senate where 1t awaited ratification. Democrats were openly displeaSed at the nomination and a few even questioned its legality. A requirement. of the law under which the governor made his choice was that the appointee must have been resident of the state for two years prior to the date of his ap- plication." Another clause, however, stated the personnel director may waive said residence requirement when no qualified resident of this state shall apply for such examina- tion or position" The governor nominated Harry w. Marsh, first deputy commissioner of public well fare of New York city to the ST. 500 a year job. (
 Selected From List
 His name was selected from Qudl11lCu 4Aob PACPnACA Dy AAC1NC OA the various state departments.
 Aroused democrats pointed out that to their knowledge no per- son had applied" for the position, that the selection was made from a list of recommendations, and that there was no evidence before the senate to show that no qualified person existed in the state to fill the job.
 The nomination of Marsh sent senators scurrying to the governors office for information about the proposed director. They were hand ed brief biographical sketch. The name was sent to the committee on executive nomination and it was ex- pected democrats would caucus on the disposition of the appointment before it is reported out.
 Once appointed, the director would be removable only for cause. He would be responsible only to the governor and the commissioner of finance and control. The job is one of the. key positions under the re- organization program to get the state back on -as-you-go basis.

5l5 STT-DOWN MINERS WARNED
Must Come to Surface or Starye-Families Sup=
 ply Them Food
By JOHN GURWELL

Dy JVAAAN 0OASVVGAA
 Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Wilsonville, H., May 21-(UP)- Five hundred and fifteen miners on sit-down strike BIO feet underground must come to the surface or starve, Mine Superintendent George Wilcox ordered today.
 Despite his order, wives and sweethearts of the strikers sent bas- kets of food and pails of coffee down the shaft without interference.
 "We.re not coming up until the company signs an agreement with us" said the strikers spokesman, Mike Pomatto.
 The miners demanded that a new contract for which their Union Pro- gressive Miners of America, and the owners are negotiating, stipulate that whenever the company shuts down one of its four mines 1t inn mediately distribute the men thus thrown out of work among its other mines. The previous contract, which expired April 1, allowed the con- pany 30 days to distribute labor.
 Cause of Demand
 Occasion for the demand was the shutdown of the No. mine at Eag- erville, H., last week and announce ment that the No. 2 mine at Saw yerville, H., would be shut down next week to permit installation oi electric loaders. The four mines owned by the Superior Coal com pany, subsidiary of Chicago North western railroad, are connected un- rderground by nine miles Of tunnels The strikers were reported to be planning an underground excursion to the No. 3 mine at Mt. Claire to organize sympathy strike there as soon as the dayshift reports fol work. They may grope their way further through the tunnels to the No. 2 and No. mines and attempt to organize strikes there later, it was said.
 The strike was conducted under leadership of P. M. A. local PreSi- dent John Fisher. Joe OZanic, 1lli- nois P. M. A. president, said the strike was not authorized, that the men had no reason to strike.
 Strikers Comfortable
 The strikers remained in the mine and informed their wives, mothers and sweethearts over the mine tele- phone that they were happy 'and comfortable.
 Were in the corridor, and some of the men are hanging around here and others are in the entries, one of the msaid. The corridor, ht explained, is the horizontal hal leading off the elevator shaft. En. tries are rooms, leading of the cor ridor, where the mining is done. There were 575 men in the mint at quitting time yesterday. They weeded out 60 older men who they thought could not stand prolonged stay underground. These they sent up.
 The rest of hem-5l5-"b -"beddee down." They called Wilcox and tolc him of their intentions.
 The 60 older men spread word oi the strike, and 75 night shift work CTS, who are employed in blasting the bituminous coal loose for day workers to shovel, decided not to re port for work.
