and news of the brutal treatment
was passed around, the rejoicing
turned to a feeling of deepest rage.
Friends, neighbors and residents
of the community vowed that they
will not rest until the kidnapers
have been captured and justice
meted out-and it will be speedy
Justice if the posses get their hands
on the men first.
These Maryland residents are
determined to protect their homes
and families from any similar at
tacks, and the feeling is so high
that Governor Nice, who tele-
Iphoned the Brown home to express
his feeling of gratitude that the
girl was returned, instructed Ste tie
police to take steps against VIC
lence in case of arrest of the kid
Inapers.
One of the most hopeful clues
being investigated was report
that several roughly dressed fruit
peddlers had been in the vicinity
of Oxon Hill for the past several
days, and have been driving a
truck that answers the descrip-
ton of the kidnap vehicle.
Suspects Sought
These men, whose description
TALES somewhat with that given
by Mary's sister, Lucy, who escaped
from the kidnapers, are under
stood to have purchased their
fruit in a Washington wholesale
market, and detectives are work
ing there today seeking some clue
to the identity of the suspects.
Some 200 members of the CCC
camp at Fort DUPONT are standing
by today, ready to take part in the
search for the place the kidnapers
held the girl captive if authorities
need their services.
Camp officials yesterday offered
the services of the youths, but po-
lice said they did not need them
at that time. Last night. however,
Governor Nice called the camp and
asked that the company be held in
readiness to aid the State troopers.

CHICAGO, Nov. Is GN.SD.
In an effort to reduce injuries
caused by bodily contact, the Ma
tional Football Coaches Associa-
ton at its annual meeting here,
December 27-29, is expected to
recommend radical changes in
the protective equipment now in
general use.
For several years there has been
a growing belief among coaches
that the use of hard and unyleld
ing equipment constitutes the
greatest danger in modern foot
ball. The association last year
appointed a committee, headed by
w. A. Alexander OF Georgia Tech
to study the problem and report
at its next meeting. Alexander
and his associates have inspected
the game equipment used by Is OF
the country's leading teams anC
are ready to recommend lmmedi
ate changes.
Particular fault is found with
the type of cleat which screws on
to a metal post, extending one OF
two inches from the shoe sole

the cause of deep and painful cuts
or abraSions, the cleat which
screws into the show has been
found satisfactory since if it
breaks there is no projection
from the sole.
The committee also has found
that shoulder pads are gradually

plate. This is particularly true

Sidered a menace by coaches.
Ridged kidney and rib pads and
thigh boards that extend out from
the leg also are criticized, as are
head guards with fiber or sole
leather tops. In fact, the present
style head guard is considered the
most dangerous of all equipment
Elmer Layden, of Notre Dame

lowing stories published in The
Washington Times vest erd a y,
many loyal followers have queried
the sports department seeking in
formation as to the latest reports
emanating out of New Orleans,
Miami and Dallas. They seem re-
signed to the fact that the Hoya
eleven does not have a chance at
the Rose Bowl because of its 1888
schedule.
To them 1t is simply receiving
an invitation to some bowl game,
regardless.
But with bowl hysteria in the
air, Coach Jack Hagerty is busily
at work drilling his Georgetown
eleven for the task at hand
trouncing Maryland. All week he
intends to polish up an attack to
sweep the TerpS out of their own
domain. Along with this there is
is the matter of aerial defense,
and this will get his undivided
attention.
Maryland has long been a power

The season is about over in
10 easy collapses except for
Duke, Notre Dame, Texas Chris

other undefeated teams, but no
body expects paper hoops to stop
a clown from somersaulting.
Notre Dame has a schedule
tougher than a fellow keeping
a date with the hang-man. And
what's the use of winning over
those fellows? How do you know
you are beating the right team?

latch keys in the next few Satur-

but there isn't any yardstick by
which we can judge the others

Labor Scores Use of
Prisoners on City Work

New Orleans (ILNS) Organized
labor assisted by civic, fraternal and
church organizations at a meeting
in the labor temple roundly denounc-
ed Mayor Maistre for using prisoners
on public and private construction
work in New Orleans.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that prisoners have been used in re-
painting and reconditioning fire sta
tions, police stations, the civil district
court building, and now a new fire
station is being constructed by pris-
oners.
It was the general concensus Of the
meeting that inasmuch as there are
thousands Of men in dire circum-
stances in New Orleans who would
welcome an opportunity to work on
these various projects men who are
barred from the many WPA projects
from some unknown reason. Pre-
vious protests have passed unheeded
