Western Five
Loses Lomax

Western High will make its
debut in the interhigh series Fri
day without the services Of Bill
Lomax, high scoring forward.
However, the team has hopes
OF beginning play with a victory
over woodrow Wilson, first op-
ponent.
Lomax's place will be taken by
either Irving Needle or Tom
Saylor. The remainder of the
lineup will be intact, including
Gerald Burns and George Dewitt,
forwards; Paul He'll, center, and
Hugo Schulz. guard.
Two games were played yes
terday. Eastern went down to
defeat for the first time in six
years when st. Johns won in a
% to 81 encounter at Eastern.
In the other contest for the
day, Dewitt Prep beat Hyattsville
High, 20 to IS at HyattSville.
The unusual part of EaStern'S
loss was the fact it was taken
on the home court. This also
broke a precedent, Eastern hay
ing won every game at home, up
to yesterday, since 1881.
The JohnnieS, prep school
champs last year. were not to
be denied yesterday. Every mem
Der in the lineup played well,
with Jack Reyes leading the way
with points. Cotton, with 13
points, and Quantrille, with 7,
led for Eastern.
John Hargaden, brother of
the well-known Ed Hargaden,
now coach at Georgetown Prep,
was Dewitt Prep's leader against
High. The younger
Hargaden scored 8 points.

New York, Jan. 6.-Monopoly might
provo blessing in some fields. For
instance if George S. Kaufman took
over the Broadway theater-lock
stock and barrel-and wrote all the
plays presented, instead of merely all
of the entertaining ones as he seems
to be doing now.
his newest comedy, "You Can't
Take 1t With YOU supplied this cor
respondent with the grandest evening
in the theateV he has had since "The
Front Page" 1t concerns the lunatic
affairs Of a family Of lovable inef-
fectuais and the equally bare-brained
han 9ers-on it has been able to accum-
ulate through the years.
Mrs. Sycamore writes pays-be-
cause somebody delivered a type
writer to the house by mistake eight
years ago. MI Sycamore experiments
in the cellar with fireworks, assisted
by Mr.. lie Pima, who, think, once
was a nlilkman but liked the menage
and stayed on. A daughter studies for
the ballet and makes fudge, Her hus-
oand has a printing press in the liv-
ing room. There is grandpa, who will
not, on principle, pay Income tax and
who decided to quit The nonsense of a
workaday JOB thirty-five years ago
while riding in an elevator.
There are other assorted idiots, in
Guiding an exiled prin cess, a Russian
dancing teacher and a colored maid
and her boy friend, who is on relief
In the midst of all this-and a brief
summary has made it sound far less
insane than it is-lives one compare
lively normal daughter and the ne
BILIOUS plot concerns her efforts to
achieve a happy wedding with her
boss son.
The Importance of the play, aside
from g running fire of dizzily hilari-
Gus dialogue, stems for me from the
tenderness with which it defends the
right of people 10 be a little cracked
as long as they love one another and
are happy. The Sycamores are happy,
consistently and magnificently happy
and their bliss is only threatened
when sane, SeriouS-minded folk collide
with them.
You Can't Take 1t With You" is
far and away the best theater in
town at the moment. It is farce
handled with compassion, rare and
delicate operation. 1t is not a great
play but it is true one and it is a
very funny one. [ recommend it for
your next Broadway visit, even if the
visit is delayed a year or so, for I
stake I'll my insecure lurels as a pro-
phet that you Can't Take It With
You will be running we'll into 1888
Of course, Mr.. Kaufman had a col
laborator in the person of Moss Hart
Perhaps it is ungracious to say So
but the Kaufman collaborators,. skill
ed dramatists, story tellers and gag
sters that they may be, never look
very convincing on the program. You
feel you are watching q Kaufman play
and the suspicion keeps rising in the
back of your head that Mr.. Kaufman
doesn't need collaborators at all but
gets lonesome sitting in a room all
by himself hammering on play and
so invites a friend to come keep him
company.

bacco warehousemen or lawyers. 1t
was generally conceded that an in
tensive contest is already under way
for control Of the agriculture COM
mittee in the two houses.
Several speakers pointed out that
the farmers of the State are not yet
entirely sold on tobacco crop compact
and control legislation, that some 40
counties are not interested because
they grow no tobacco, intimated that
both the fertilizer and tobacco manu-
featuring industries are unfriendly
towards such legislation and urged
the necessity for quick action Sew
eral expressed the belief that unless
they were able to put through the
crop compacts and control law within
the first 80 days of the session, the
chances would be increasingly diff
ficult of passing it at ALL
Crop Control Looms to Front.
Because the. Farm Bureau Fedora
tion and the Grange are expected to
launch an intensive drive for the en-
actment of the tobacco compacts and
crop control bill right at the begin-
ming of the session, and because many
of the tobacco warehousemen and
manufacturers are expected to oppose
the bill, good many observers here
believe that the fight over crop con-
troll may, for time at least over
shadow the expected legislative bat
tie over liquor control, the sales tax
and even that over new revenue. Ger
tain it is that lines are already being
tightly drawn, that the farmers are
better organized than ever before
the Farm Bureau Federation claims
it already has $4,000 members in
North Cafolina-and that a real bat
tie is in prospect.
Other Items on Program
The Farm Federation, however. is
interested in other matters than crop
control legislation, although that is
item number one on it's legislative
program. 1t will also seek an approp-
riation of $4,000 for the establish
ment Of a special test farm for pea
nuts, for the help and benefit of the
peanut growers in the State. It has
Endorsed the increased budget for the
county agents and home demonstra-
tion agents, will seek a better pure
seed law or at least better enforce
ment of the present law, and will de-
mand free use of school buildings for
federation and other farm meetings,
according to Secretary E. F. Andrews.
No action has been taken to -in=
dictate the attitude of the Federation
towards the present scrap tobacco law
or any other. pending the action of
the General Assembly and of the Fed
eral government with regard to the
crop control and .compacts law.
