Frat Property Rights
Acquired by Colonists

Discussing some origins of prop
erty rights, the Journal of the Amer
lean Institute of Real Estate APP
praisers cites the fact that the first
property rights in this country were
acquired by the colonists by virtue
of royal charters. occupation or pur-
chase from the Indians. The lands
usually consisted of large tracts and
the title was deemed TO vest in the
inhabitants, in the commoners,
in the original proprietors, and, usu-
ally, in theory, in the king of Eng
land, under whom they held title.
The time came" explains the
journal, when il was deemed adj
visable to divide the lands among
individuals, and many were the dis
putes in proprietor meetings or in
town meetings between proprietors,
inhabitants and coinmoners in re-
spect 10 the division. Sometimes
the proprietors claimed ownership
for themselves to the exclusion of
the other inhabitants of the commu-
nifty and held proprietor meetings,
as distinguished from town meet
ings, and made the division among
themselves.
Sometimes tbE distinction be-
tween proprietor meetings and town
meetings had been lost aad often
times the right to share in the divi-
sion, in so far as inhabitants who
were not proprietors were con-
cerned, rested upon which had a
majority-physical or otherwise.
Sometimes the division was made
by number, each getting an equal
share; sometimes it depended upon
the amount of taxes which per-
son paid, the larger taxpayer re-
ceiving the larger quantity of land.
Sometimes the division was
made by the meeting, but frequent
ly by committee selected to make
survey and to lay out the land. In
any event, the lands allotted were
usually large farms, with a share
of pasture land, wood lot, land for
a house lot, and often
an undivided share in the COM

the Philadelphia Sphas.
None the worse off physically for
last nights defeat at the hands of
the Newark Hebrews, 37-31, except
for fractured nose suffered by
Arthur zahn and a slightly lame
knee by Ralph Bennie. the Brewers
will practice at the local gym in an
effort to attain the physical condi-
ton and competitive edge necessary
to round out winning combination
While the loss was not too dis

the better conditioned Newark team
was we'll fortified with good league
talent, the Brewers met in Phil

promised to give them trouble later.
Outstanding star for the Jersey Reds,
Rabin, who scored nine points last
night in addition to turning in some
excellent floor play, is hailed as the
finest scoring forward to appear here
since Rusty Saunders of the WASH

While Heurich was losing it's ex-

Te(h and Western
Fight Il Out for
Second Place
Tilt Tomorrow Likely
To Settle Issue in
Football Series

With only the comparatively weak
Eastern team standing between
Central and its Goth high school
football championship, interest in
the schoolboy series has shifted to
the fight for second place, now held
by Western with half-game mar
gin over Tech.
Both schools have lost only to
Central, and Westerns slender lead
is due to its having played one more
game than Tech. Tomorrow at 3:l5
the second-place rivals will meet at
Western Stadium in game which,
in all probability, will decide the
positions.
Final for Western.
1t is Westerns last series game,
SO if it should win it will have
sure hold on the spot behind Gen.
tral, while Tech, if it won, still
would have to hurdle Anacostia.
The Manual Trainers still are
smarting from the 27-to-6 pasting
received ct the hands of Central
10 days ago, and will be out to SAL
wage some measure of glory in the
series by licking the Rough Riders.
If they can snap back from this Jolt
they have the power to make real
battle of it against a Western out
fit that has been winning regularly
since dropping its opener to Central.
Western Lacks Spirit.
Coach Dan Ahern of Western
has a problem on his hands to
inject life into the Rough Riders,
who, while they have been winning,
has shown little spirit. Last week,
for instance, they scored only one
touchdown when defeating Wood
row Wilson, team that has yet to
win a series game in two years of
campaigning Ahern, however, plans
no changes in his regular starting
lineup other than to take care of
holes caused by injuries. If Jack
Neam's injured leg has healed suf-
f1ciently he will be at his regular
guard post Otherwise Viehman
will be shifted to guard and Cham
berlain will take his position at
tackle.
The championship issue will be
decided Friday, when Central enter
tains Eastern. In the other Friday
game, also starting at 3:15, Roose-
welt, with four straight series de-
feats, will face Woodrow Wilson at
Western.

after 96-yard march had produced
a Detroit touchdown.
Lions Chance Slim.
Detroit's only hope of title share
now rests in Green Bay losing to New

both Chicago teams and Philadel-
phia. Next Sunday Detroit will meet
the Chicago Cardinals, who were
