Ten More Needed to Meet Requirements By District Changes-Tax Collector Asks Acquisition Approval

in connection with foreclosures of property for unpaid taxes.
 Mr. Guilfoile informed the board that there is an appropriation in the tax collectors budget to provide fees for title searches and the item is drawn for court costs under which the title investigations are properly charged.
 It was explained to the controller that title searching is work for an expert and that comparatively few attorneys attempt this form of legal research but retain services of those attorneys specializing in this high ly technical scrutiny of land records. Attorney Daniel F. Pickett, former assistant city clerk, has been mak- ing a considerable proportion of this research for the city.
 Explanation Given
 The matter was placed on file after Commissioner Charles B. Jack son had accepted the controllers reiterated excuse that T simply called him on the telephone to see whether he couldn't do the work himself"
 The matter of bond for M. A. Green, pawnbroker, brought before the board the question of whether personal or property bonds are &C., ceptable and the board voted to re- quire surety bonds in the future. This was on motion of Commission CT Major w. Judge, who is chair man of committee Investigating the fees on bonds, following the chairman's comment at several meetings that the fees quoted by Controller Rowland for his own bond and others, were much too high" The controller sought $5 a $1,000 year for his $25,000 bond, the $10,000 bond of the corporation counsel and many more.

dition of city appropriations with view to finding solution to the defi- cit impending because of the differ ential between anticipated revenue and the potential inadequacy of budgetary provisions. The matter is still in the hands of the com- mittee, despite the controllers ges- ture and the committee will report on the return from the south of Commissioner Goss. expected within 8 week or ten days.
 MT. Rowland's especial point was the presumed increase in the well fare costs and the board acted yes terday before the controllers com munication" was presented to save the city more than $50,000 in well fare costs by starting action de- signed to keep more than 100 per- sons in WPA employment, rather than on welfare rolls.
 School Delegation
 Members of the school board, President John J. Walsh, Nathan Freedman, John J. Kearney, and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas J. Condon, appeared to re- quest that the finance board find solution to the problem of keeping no persons employed on two WPA projects, repairing work and book mending work, the latter employing IA persons. The city'S share to keep these persons employed for the remaining eight and one-half months of the year would be slight ly more than $21,000, 1t was re- ported.
 Mayor Hayes sent to the Welfare Department for figures showing what the cost of these persons would be on welfare rolls over the equivalent period and Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp, acting superintendent of welfare, reported back that the cost would be $74,800. Thus, by pro- viding for transfer of the costs of the city's share in the projects, for materials and such, from the school department to the welfare depart ment, the finance board, on Mayor Hayes outline, will save more than $53,O00, in addition to the cost of the work which the government pays for in the WPA projects.
 The mayor stressed the import ance of keeping the WPA workers employed as an economy measure and it was advocated, additionally, that $500 be provided in the same appropriation transfer to continue the WPA educational courses until the end of the year.
 The board, after opinion on le- gality of the course is obtained from the corporation counsel, will recommend to the Board of Welfare that the appropriation be set up and that the matter then be re- ferred to the Board of Aldermen for approval.

he knifes through opposing hnemen

caution. and when he puts pressure Oh:
kicker that alien boot isn't going
any too far. Jim also pulls out of the
line fast on running plays, and when
he clears an opponent out of the way
he stays cleared. But until his senior
year at Ohio State, when he was
shifted to guard, Karcher was a full
back, and if he kicked as regularly
today for the Redskins as he did his
first two years for the Buckeyes tn.
Redskins might have another good
booter.
Bill Young Versatile.
Bill Young. who joined the Indians
last year, played either tackle or guard
his first year in the pro game. but he
was a fullback for his Arkansas high
school before going to Alabama and
demonstrated in the league opener this
year that he still knows how to tote the
leather when he took a pass and
scampered nearly half the length OF
the field for a touchdown against the
Eagles.
The crowd can have its backs, but
the backs want their linemen. And

OLSON, Young and Young get as
much applause from the backs as the

sible shakeups in " M. Is starting
lineup are in the offing as the Cadets
make ready for the Navy game at
Annapolis Saturday. Two sophomores,
Son Shelby. 156-pound passing star
and Ripper Walker, l89-pound tackle,
are likely starters.
Shelby's passing and ball-carryine
in both the Elon and Virginia games
impressed Coach Pooley Hubert to
the extent that the Arkansas lad may
replace a veteran, Doc Saunders.
The new backfleld set-up would give
V. M. I. three paSsers in Shelby, Capt

ference Paul Shu. Trzeciak probably
will continue to handle the greater
part OF the punting assignment, al
though Shu got off a pair of 60-yard
boots from the scrimmage line against
Virginia.
The pair Of wingmen who will start
against the Navy will be in doubt
until game time. Two Rays, Britting-
ham and Taylor. were the regulars last
year. Birmingham, . 160-pound de-
fensive star. proved in the Virginia
game that he has recovered from an
injury during the summer.
Taylor, q fine blocker and pass

You don't think of guards scoring
touchdoWns. but if Jim Karcher, SWede
OLSON, or Bill Young ever get their
hands on football in one of the Red
skins games don't fall out of your seat
if they suddenly are converted into
crashing fullbacks.
1t may be a strange sight to pro-
fessional football fans accustomed
to see these three stalwarts spring
out Of the line, but it will be old stuff
to the young men themselves For
each one of the trio now playing
guard for Ray F1aherty was at one
time fullback in either high school
or college.
Maybe that's the reason they are
such excellent interferers. Having
appreciated what it means to ball
carrier to have would-be tacklers
wiped out of his path. they are able to
impart an extra bit of ''umph" to their
blocks.
Make Sacrifices in Switch.
Naturally, each Of. them made sac
rifices when he changed from a back
to lineman, for it's still the ball
carrier who gets the cheer of the
crowd. the play in the headline and
the feature spot in the story But with
the football public learning more and
more to appreciate the help given the
guy with the ball, we're not so sure
that Karcher. OLSON and Young pass
entirely unnoticed.
Flaherty will tell you that OLSON
is one OF the smartest guards in the
National League and he doesn't care
what you might think of the Chicago
Bears Musso and Fortmann or the
Giants Del Isola. Swede probably
worked as hard as any Redskin in
preseason training, else he couldn't
have melted 20 pounds away as he did
to reach his present playing weight of
233.
Precious few yards are gained
through Olsson's position in the line,
for he's one of the best defensive men
in the business. He plays heads-up
football and has powerful drive. He

LAUDS
PLAY OF MALONE
Ace Pass Receiver Shakes
Weaknesses as Blocker
and Defense Man.
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach. Champion Washington Redskins.
Because so far this season he has
played probably the greatest game Of
any end in the National Football
League, I want to say word or two
about Charley Malone. This is
Charley's nth year with the Redskins,
but I can remember when he broke
into professional football.
AS an opposing end with the New
York Giants, used to play against
Malone and I still remember that we
used to consider him good pass
catcher and fast man in getting
down under kicks, but withal a weak
defensive end and not great blocker.
Misses No Opportunity.
Contrast that with the man you
Washington fans have seen in two
games this season. In marvellous con-
dition, Malone has played as much as
any man on the squad. He has hustled
in every league game and has not
missed single opportunity.
Without doubt, Charley has made
some Of the greatest catches in the first
two games in Washington that any one
would want to see. But his defensive
play also has been flawless. Many
times he has not only taken out the
interference, but tackled the ball
carrier as well. And on offense, when
he hasn't been catching passes. Ma
lone's blocking has been outstanding:
Gives Redskins Extra Man.
In many cases, after taking out the
opposing tackle single-handedly, he
has gone on to pick up the secondary.
The reason Malone has caught so
many passes this year. even without
Sammy Baugh throwing them. is that
he has learned to fake an opponent
out of position. This. In turn. has been
developed by his ability to change di-
rection and pace quickly. Indeed. in
going downfield to receive passes Ma
lone has exhibited all the shifting hips
of a good ball carrier And where he
used to 60 in fairly high on defensive
rushes, he now goes low and hard.

Lou Gehrig-here is a player who
Is helpless away from his horse. When
you draw up the ground rules, be sure
to put in clause barring horseback
riding and all kinds Of cavalry ma
neuvers. Gehrig's legs are very frail
They are only about six laps to the
mile in circumference, and proba bly,
will buckle beneath him in another
eight years or so.
Red Rolfe-Red's weak spot is his
Dartmouth background On the Sat-
urday game of the series, if you will
have your third base coach tell MIN
confidentially that Princeton is lead
ing Dartmouth, 33 to 0, at the half,
Rolfe will get depressed and steal five
bases.
Tommy Henrich-Henrich has a
weak right arm. Few outfielders in
history have had weaker right arms
than Henrich's. When he throws
with 1t, the ball resembles a rainbow
and is apt to go SO feet off the target
That is probably why Tom throws
with his left arm. which Is terrific.

Probably the strongest right-handed

man. You can fool him every time
by striking out
Charlie Ruffing-Ruffing and his
sidekick, Monte Marcellus Pearson
are movie hounds. They sometimes
see seven movies in week This is
common knowledge around the Amer
lean League and the rest of the clubs
take full advantage of it, with the re-
suit that Pearson has a no-hit game
to his credit and Ruff1ng has 81 vic
tories.

no weakness whatever, except that if
you beat his ball club, Jake will never
speak to you again. You can lake
your choice.
