PROVE SENSATION

It would seem that Sundays
game between Redskins and Pack
ers ought to prove sensational for
the reason that it will be battle
between two attacking teams.
The visiting Packers have proved
Nnce the third game of the season
aaat they are the Mccoy on attack.
Green Bay has scored 214 points
thus far, or an average OF 21.4
points per game! Further, the
Packers have rolled up 2,984 yards
in 10 games, for an average OF
1884 yards per game!
The Redskins have scored 1872
points in nine games for an aver
age OF 14.7 points per game!
Washington has rolled up 2,3O6
yards in nine games for an aver
age of 245 yards per game!
If that isn't attack with
vengeance, then figures do lie!
Football fans love free-Scor-
ing game, for the reason that a
free-Scorihg game means thrills
galore, sensational plays. While
old football players appreciate a
defensive game, your average fan
doesn't care for a defensive battle.
SURPRISE WINS
Both games played in the Ma
tional Football League yesterday
were more or less surprises. In
particular, the Brooklyn 1913
tie with the Giants came as a dis
tinct surprise. Many throughout
the circuit felt that Detroit, 10
conuuerors of the Giants, might
halt the Chicago Bears, but the
Bears took yesterdays game from
the Lions, 13 to 0.
The Dodgers closed their 1887
in a blaze of glory by holding the
Giants to a tie. Ace Parker,
former Duke star, once again was
the spark which kept the Dodgers
in the game. 1t was Aces passing
and Ralph Kerchevars place-kick-
ing which brought Brooklyn to a
par with the Giants.
After New York had scored a
touchdown on the second play Of
the game, Brooklyn came back
and started an aerial march from
its own 32-yard line which ended
on New York's IL, where Joe Man.
iaci, former Fordham luminary,
went to work. In three plays, Joe
cracked across the Giant goal
line, all three being line smasheS.

Only Hope
Of Locals
PLAY SUNDAY
By HARRY COSTELLO

This Washington Redskins.
Green Bay Packers football game
is the talk of the town. 1t will be
played Sunday, in Griffith
Stadium, before 10000 people if
fair weather prevails.
Even the Bowl bids have been
shunted aside as topics Of con-
versation here in Washington by
the grid bugs who seemingly like
their pre-game discussion almost
as well as they like the game
itself.
On every hand today, local fans
are discussing the chances Of our
Redskins winning over Green Bay
and New York on successive Sun
days.
AS matters now stand, the Red
skins must at least tie the Packers
in Sundays game if Washington
is to stay in the race for Eastern
Division honors of the National
Football League.
UP TO REDSKINS
Should Green Bay win over the
Redskins, Washington will be elm.
mated.
Should Washington tie Green
Bay and win over New York,
here's how they'd stand:
w. L. T. Pct.
Washington ..... Z 3 TOO
New York. ....... 6 3 2 .667
Should Washington win over
Green Bay and tie New York,
here's how they'd stand:
w. L. T. Pct.
New York. ........ 6 2 3 .750
washington ....". Z 3 700
Thus it will be seen that Wash
ington can afford to play tie
with Green Bay but cannot afford
to play a tie with New York.
In other words, Washington can
tie Green Bay and win over New
York to take top honors; yet, if
the Redskins win over Green Bay,
Washington also must win over
New York.

date future.
A delay In the Wagner act de-
cision, 1t was believed, might do
much to preserve the prestige Of
the court both now and in the fu-
ture. Preservation of this prestige
Is known to be close to the heart
OF Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes.
Hughes, in the estimation of
many lawyers, has bent every effort
to go down In history as great
chief justice. He has worked long
and hard bringing the courts
calendar UP to date and preserving
harmony among the jurists. As a
result he is considered close to
the Observation-Disclosures Louis D.
Brandeis, Harlan r. Stone and Ben
Jamin N. Cardoza.
Hughes Prevented Decision
Some critics believe that his vote
in the AAA invalidation decision
was partly prompted by a desire to
avoid a five to four decision. He
Is known to regard such decisions
as weakening to the courts prestige.
Such reasons gave rise to the
suggestion that the Wagner cases
may remain undecided for some
time. The fact that the court is
reluctant to act on highly contro-
versial measures was indicated by
the failure to act yesterday on sew
eral important issues long pending
before 1t.
At the moment the Wagner act
status is
The five test cases involving many
different phases of the application
OF the law are due for argument
Immediately. There have been sew
eral postponements.
Labor Would Resent
Labor Is engaged in the General
Motors strike and is preparing for
other major battles. Labor would
certainly resent any general con-
domination of the law even though
the present court seems certainly
committed to do so.
1t may take weeks and perhaps
months for the Presidents plan for
reorganization of the court to 20
through but few doubt that the ap-
parently certain doom OF the Wag-
ner act played a part in the timing
OF the Presidents judicial recon-
mendations. In the meantime, with
the rapid fire procedure the court
has followed under Hughes, a de-
cision In the Wagner act cases
should come within month or six
weeks.
Could be Reversed
II this happens and the law is
invalidated before the proposed
court change becomes effective, tho
Judgment Of nconstitutionality
could be reversed in only two ways.
The government or other It'll
giants might present a petition for
rehearing. II granted the new
court might reformed before the
petition was acted on. Then, pre-
sumably, the petition would be
granted II the new jurists believed
the decision Of the earlier court
was erroneous.
Or. If the rehearing petition were
not granted, new Wagner act
might be drafted which would again
raise the identical questions before
the new court.

The present terminus Of North
Main street trolley Is at Lakewood
Park. In the future when plans
become realities buses will run to
the junction Of North Main and Hill
streets in Pearsallville. Later the
residents of Bucks Hill may obtain
an extension Of this line.
Other Coming Changes
Among other changes contem-
plated, involves Watertown. Buses
will proceed as far as the present
terminus Of the line and then swing
around to the Taft school section,
completing a loop that will embrace
wide area Of residential section

Manager Chapman announced to-
day that the survery of various out
lying districts and localities will be
continued. All lines will be bene-
fitted by the changes, 1t Is predicted.
That the trolleys would be aban-
doned in Waterbury has been ru-
mored many times In the past but no
offlcials OF the G. r. 81 L. company
have decided that buses would be
more economical here.
City Oflcials Pleased
City officials are well pleased be-
cause the elimination Of the troll
legs will serve to tighten the traff1c
problem somewhat. 1t will also give
the municipality an opportunity to
do some paving that necessarily
has been held up due to the inabil-
ity Of the transportation company
to meet its share Of the cost as
prescribed by law.
Already the Connecticut company
has received permission from the
superior court to petition the public
utilities commission for permission
to abandon the trolley service be-
tween Naugatuck and New Haven
and use buses in their place. This
means that there will be two
through New Haven bus lines, one
by way Of Cheshire and the other
by way of Naugatuck and Derby.
Direct TO p. U. Commission
The G. r. g. l.. company which
operates the local lines, does not
have to petition the superior court
because 1t is not in process Of re-
organization. The petition will be
made direct to the public utilities
commission.

way, now reported cut. The other is
the less direct Madrid Tarancon-
Valencia road, over which all loyal
LIST supplies must now come from

Loyalists Are Bitter
Valencia, Spain, Feb. 0-(U.P0-
Loyalist leaders denounced the Ger
man and italian governments today
as responsible for the fall of NAL
aga. Admitting that nationalist had
captured the seaport, loyalists turn
ed their anger on Germany and
italy rather than on the national
lists. What was termed IAN out
rageous policy Of non-intervention
pursued by democratic and pseudo
democratic countries" also came in
for bitter criticism. The view Of
every responsible government Off
cial and political leader who ex-
pressed himself was that the loyal
ist forces at the Malaga front
would have been sufficient to repel
any insurgent attack from the sea,
land or air but for overwhelming
foreign aid.
Officials generally charged that it
was the most concrete proof since
the inception Of the civil war that
Germany and Italy not only do not
intend to withdraw their support of
the insurgents but will try to &C
complish their detectives regardless
of diplomatic measures by the DEM
ocratic powers.
Fears for the safety Of loyalists
remaining in Malaga were expressed
today on the streets, in hotels and
government offices. News was anx-
iously awaited by persons with
friends or relatives there.

his headquarters where he said to
a crowd:
ut is some time since we have
been served with as fine a dish as
the conquest of Malaga and ten lib
Grafton Of a whole province from
red hands. Good weather at Malaga
permitted Us to advance so fast and
with god weather elsewhere we will
proceed to a definite victory all
around much quicker than even the

munique said, General Francisco
Franco. the nationalist dictator, ap-
peared on balcony with leaders of
