THE SUMNER FIELD PROJECT
RENTAL VALUE TO BE

In the course of a few weeks the
United States government will de-

Shortly thereafter the construction
will begin. Almost before it is
realized these beautiful homes will
be ready for occupancy.
Those who lived in this section
before it was rebuilt will have first
choice in moving back in-provid-

register their intention to do so.
After these are cared for other
applications will be considered. But
registration is necessary in each

and one who does register will not
be compelled to move in. If you

TREMENDOUS POWER
That Coach Flaherty's team has
tremendous power was apparent
yesterday to all who witnessed the
scrimmage.
That the Redskins attack Is
loaded with deception also was
obvious.
Time and again the team on
attack, especially when urged by
the coaches, drove the defensive
team back through sheer power.
The line units showed a sharp,
consistent offensive charge, while
the backs-every one of them
proved they have a backs greatest
attribute, tremendous leg-drive.
Pug Rentner, former Northwest
ern University star, and Ed Kowal,
former Notre Dame luminary,
were injured, but only slightly, in
the rough going. Rentners' hand
was hurt. Kowals shoulder was
wrenched.

ity game at Frederick, Md, Sun

In Charity Grid Game
BAUCH'S HEAvE
TO NELL TINSLEY
DECIDES BATTLE.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 UN.S0.-For
the first time in four years of COM
petition, a college all-star football
team today held a victory over the
professional champions as a re-
suit Of the surprising defeat here
last night of the Green Bay
Packer, to 0. before $4,000 per-
sons.
One play brought about the ur1-
doing of the Packers at Soldier
Field. It was a first quarter pass
from Sammy Baugh, Texas Chris
tian, to Gaynell Tinsley of Louis
lana State, hurled from the all
stars 48 yard line. Tinsley caught
the ball on the Packers 32-yard
stripe, eluded the secondary and
sprinted for a touchdown. Sam
Francis of Nebraska missed the
extra point.
That was all the scoring. The
collegians hardly could nick the
big pro eleven thereafter, and the
Packers, sluggish and far fror1
appearing in their top form, didn't
have the decisive touchdown
punch.
Although the all-stars carried
away the game, the Packers had a
big edge in the figures. The pros
made II first downs against eight
for the all-stars, and gained 343
yards while the collegianS were
ripping off 1876 of this yardage,
the Packers made 1876 from scrim-
mage and 202 on passes as against
IS from scrimmage and lis by
passes on the part Of the all-starS.
In previous games. the Chicago
Bears and Detroit Lions played

REPORT FOR C, ",
HIGH GRID DRILLS

ALEXANDRIA Va, Sept. "A
squad of 35 players reported to
the opening football drill of the
George Washington High School
yesterday, launching preparations
for the toughest schedule ever
carded by the President eleven. A
two-hour signal drill, under the
direction of Coaches Maurice

guards, and Bernard Cline, center.
HEAVIER TEAM
Most of the veterans have picked
up several pounds during the sum.
mer, and the team will be a good
deal heavier than was the case
last year, but the Presidents will
still be forced to concede a big
weight advantage to most of their
Class A conference rivals.
The local squad will average
around 1855, while most of the
State teams tip the scales around

TO TRY AGAIN
Twice delayed in opening their
annual series with the Fredericks-

again by postponement-the St.

The twin voice tubes" which
form the coaxial telephone cable in
stalled experimentally during the
past summer between New York and
Philadelphia were given their first
public test last December, when
two-way conversations were held
between two adjoining rooms in
New York City which were con-
nected by a circuit $500 miles in
length. The length of the cable it.
self is 95 miles, and the 3,800-mile
circuit was made up by linking to-
gether 90 two-way loops Of 100 miles
each. These Hoops" were simply diff
ferent frequencies on the same
coaxial limits.
Instead of the usual bundle of
paper-insulated wires which form
the core of the familiar telephone
cable, this new coaxial cable con-
tains a pair of copper tubes. Each
Of these is approximately the size of
an ordinary lead pencil, while with
in it is a wire, about the size of a
pencil lead, which is held centrally
by thin discs of hard rubber.
Can Carry 24o Messages
AS many messages can pass
through this pair of tubes as now
go through an ordinary toll cable
the size of a mans arm. This ex-
perimental coaxial-cable system can
transmit million-cycle band, which
is about the same as the band as
signed for broadcasting to all radio
broadcasting stations in this coun-
try. This range can be split up into

separate talking channel. Ultimately

Hospital by the committee chair
man, Mrs. Ruth Carroll, Mrs. Ber-
nice Dukes, Mrs. Luetta White,
and Mrs. Frank Titus. There are
seventeen of our group at Ancker.
The Club was delighted to learn
that Professor Ware "a patient)
had gone to Chicago to reside with
his niece. The Club was asked to
investigate rumors of the death of
Mr.. Leroy Lynch. 1t was found that
Mr.. Lynch is alive and the Club
has taken it upon itself to do its
part in seeing Mr.. Lynch with his

up to expectations, and that no i'm
