is to re- enlist all present members
md get them to pay their dues by Sep
ember / so as to miss no issue of The
Independent Woman, the official or
ran of the national federation, and to
Keep in good standing with the club.
The club voted favorable on the. pro-
position of selling tickets for the char
ity dances to be given at the Duke

1t was announced that Mrs. Lednum
had been appointed editor-in-chief, of
the Tar Heel Woman for the coming
year, with Miss Elizabeth Conrad of

ton would each sponsor an issue of
the magazine for the next ten months

tunity to advertise its home town.

Both Western Maryland and

final stages of their lengthy box

vading Terror team has engaged
in five bouts, defeating Lock

Catholic U. has taken part in four

John Kingsbury "Cannonball"
Espey will cast his lot with big
league professional football as of
March IS, 1887.
On that date, ]. KingSbury be-
comes general manager Of the
Washington Redskins, Mr.. George
Preston Marshall's greatest con-
tribution to the world Of entertain
ment.
Quite naturally, Of course. ].
KingSbury, than whom there is no
whomer in the matter of tub
beating (press-agenting to YOU'D,
will continue to thump his tubs
and his typewriter keys. but on
ward and upward from March Is
he will do so, not for the George
Washington University, but rather
for Mr.. George Preston Marshall.
For Espey and Marshall, March
Is will be sort of old home day,
or class reunion day. They were
together as a team once before,
back in 1927, when George went
in for professional basketball in
a big way.
For Washington and profes-
sional football, March Is will be a
lucky day. Thence onward, pro-
fessional football Of the big league
type will be dished up in classy
fashion to those WaShingtonianS
legion in number, who want only
tops" in the way Of entertain
ment.
'Tis useless to try to tell the
whole story of George Preston
Marshall and J. Kingsbury Can
nonball" Espey. Suffice it to say
that this team should stack up
with the great teams of all-time
in the world of entertainment.
When the team was a bit lopsided,
back in 1927, since G. P. M. was
professional and j. K. E. only an
amateur, the duo clicked, despite
the contrast.
In those 10 years, J. K. E. has
come far, very far, in his chosen
field of endeavor, and the polish
ing he received as a trouper all
the way from Denver and Hous-
ton to Emmittsburg, Md, today re-
VealS him as a brilliant performer
with no rough edges.
It's dollars to doughnuts that
pro football in Griffith Stadium
will be in its proper environment

ing and coordinating their ro-
Spective abilities in Stage-manag.
ing. Both are expert; each ap-
preciateS the value Of imagina-
ton.
J. Kingsbury today took temper
ary leave at G. w. so that he
might accompany George Pres
ton to Chicago for the annual
meeting of the National Profes-
sional Football League. The var1-
Gus league managers could do
worse than listen to any and all
plans for tub-beating and stage
managing offered by the team Of
Marshall and Espey.
In the newspaper world, both
Marshall and ESpey are rated
aces. This fact will not hinder
the two in their plans to put pro
football across with a bang in
Washington.

Kirk Miller
Says:

(Cont. from First Sports Page)
consciences have not hurt them,
because they have no consciences,
but they have lost their nerve.
It is just too big a snatch for
them, and they are afraid OF
the cost in public reaction for
brazenly turning their backs on
Schmeling. And they do not know
where the more tangible cost will
stop when the writs and injunc-
tions and counter-suits are filed.
Either fighter would be a fool to
go into the ring not knowing
whether his cut would be tied up
by the lawyer clan.
The Garden Bug-o-boo!
And all hands are afraid Of
Madison Square Gardens legal de-
partment. The M. S. G.. people are
holding the bag on Braddock,
and since the Chicago pyrotech-
MICS, have simply said:
Madison Square Garden al
ways goes through with its con-
tracts and it therefore expects
those who have contracts with
it to live up to them"
That is a pretty old and we'll
grounded course of human rela-
tionships and appeals to, shall we
say, public decency. The Gardens S
stole sit-tight attitude has sort of
gotten the fast workers of fisti-
anna slowed up.
They are pondering the conse-
quenceS. The legal barriers are
just a bit too high for them to
hurdle at present and such is the
reason that moving picture sign
ing did not come off last Monday
as advertised.
They are just a little bit afraid
to commit the perfect crime of
substituting a 100000 Braddock-
Louis Chicago fight for the $780,
900 Braddock Schmeling New
York fight next June because all
receipts would be impounded pend
ing the outcome of interminable
legal proceedings.
For once the gamble is too great,
even for the fight boys.
