free home assistance in housework and
care of the children to households of
the needy where the housewife is tenn
porarily incapacitated.
The project employs both white and
colored women who are qualified by
native intelligence and by their own
experience to follow simple instruc-
tions in housekeeping work.
Mrs. WinsloW Van Devanter is
chairman of the Finance Committee
of the sponsors, who have raised $500
for the starting of the project and
who will continue their drive for
money in order to finance the opera
ton. The w. P. A. pays the wages
OF the workers, but supplies and equip
ment must be provided by donations.
Cooperating with Mrs. Van De-
vanter are Mrs. Prentiss Wilson,
treasurer; Mrs. Lester Buchanan, Mrs.
Walter Ufford, Mrs. Ernest Gruening,

the project. Mrs. Steele said, and she
will have four field assistants, one for
each of four areas. Mrs. Steele added
The objective of the project is that
women may be trained while working

private industry. The District of Co.
lumbia Employment Center frequently
calls for just this service. and no

DALLAS. Sept. 6-I Jay Turner
hasn't won himself a regular berth
with the Washington Redskins this
year, nobody has The former George
Washington University star has i'm
pressed Coach RAY F1aherty from
the start of the training season with
his earnestness and tter-than-aver-
age rookie ability. but last night his
work was one Of the high spots Of
an otherwise dismal evening. As usual,
the erstwhile Colonial played 4 bang
up defensive game throughout, knock
ing down those long passes which
might have gone for touchdowns and
backing up the line in fine fashion,
but he also shone extensively last
night. After the Stars first touch
down. Jay received the subsequent
kickoff on his own goal line and
nearly got a touchdown. He ran
straight up the field as far as his
own 80. cleverly eluded a defensive
group there and continued on to the
43, where it took three Stars to pull
him down. Flaherty had been in
tending using him as blocking back,
but now that the former Colonial has
shown he can run with the ball, he
may get some ball-carrying assign
ments.
Numbers Still Blurred.
Among the lesser evils We have to
report on the Redskins is the fact
that their numbers are just as hard
to see from the stands as they were
at the beginning Of last season Erny
Pinckert. through whose sporting
goods firm most Of the uniforms were
bought, thought he had made the
numerals more legible, but the gold
on burgundy still blurs. Can't you
change that official color Of gold to
yellow, George? The words aren't in
the song. you know.
The Redskins got more OF break in
the opening ceremonies than they did
in Chicago. Like the All-Stars before
both games. they were introduced in
dividually over the loud-speaker sys-
tenn and took their places as their
names were called. F1aherty had con-
tended that q player was aroused to
his greatest effort when introduced
and Owner George Marshall saw to it
that 1t was done. Charley Malone. a
Dallas native, got the biggest hand,
but played one OF his poorest games.
How about that contention. Ray7
Good Seats Are Cheap.
Many fans who had 1920 for seats
between the goal lines found they
could have saved IS cents. for just be-
fore the kickoff those in the $l.65
end-zone sections were allowed to move
into the side1ine stands. Every seal
in the stadium, however, afforded an
excellent view of the game and the
fact that the gridiron was only 10
yards from the front-row seats made
the game seem very close. Players

DEFEAT DESERVED.
F[AHERTY ADMITS
Sees Green Quarterbackinq
as CostIy-Praised Play
of Rookie Turner,
BY RAY FLAHERTY.

>oA1h' thdHiploh washington REDSKINS.
DALLAS, Sept. 6-Inexperienced
quarterbacking cost us a victory over
the Texas All-Stars here last night,
but at that we didn't deserve to win.
Any team that played as sluggishly
as we played, especially when they
call themselves world champions,
ought to take licking. 1t may have
been the warm weather, but it was
just as hot for our opponents, so we
can't alibi on that score.
I'm hoping, naturally, that when we
return to Washington the cooler ..li-
mate may enable us to snap out Of
the doldrums within a short time.
for we'll have to do it If we expect
to get of to a good start in the Ma
tlonal League race next Sunday.
Freshmen Played Better.
One thing I noticed and that was
the players who didn't get in the
game in Chicago played better than
those who did. I imagine the task
OF playing two games in six nights
had something to do with the per-
formance, but wouldn't have thought
We could have looked that bad.
Riley Smiths absence. naturally.
hurt us tremendously. There's hardly
q brainier quarterback in football
than Riley. and Sammy Baugh was
the only one on the squad last night
who had any experience at calling
signals.
In nv estimation Jay Turner had
more fire than any one on the team.
The kid really was in there every
minute Of the time he was in the
game and his alertness resulted in
several interceptions.
Will Dicker With Neece.
OF course. Dwight Sloan, Jack Rob-
bins and Frank Patrick impressed me
by their work with the All-Stars, but !
liked the work of Johnnie Neece OF
Rice, who was on the receiving end
of quite few passes In fact. was
'quite surprised when learned Neece
was not under contract to a National
League club and I'm going to have a
talk with him today and see if he won't
accept try-out with the Redskins.
He only weighs 174 pounds, but Is

CUT MAY HIT THEM
INSTEAD OF ROCKS
'Bush-League GeneraIship'
lrks Marshall I-FIaherty
Told to Crack Whip.
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.,
Star Staff Correspondent.

DALLAS, Sept. 6-Rarely has an
outlook as gloomy and uncertain faced
any championship team less than a
week before it started campaigning
in defense Of its title as that which
confronted the Washington Redskins
today.
Instead Of clearing up some OF the
problems which must be answered be-
fore opening the National Football
League season at Philadelphia next
Sunday, last nights 1877 defeat at
the hands Of the Texas All-Stars
here-their second setback in six
nights by team of ex-collegians-
only complicated the issues in the
ranks Of the professional champions.
Before either game was played.
Owner George Marshall and Coach
Ray Fqaherty declared that they
weren't taking either game too Sc
riously; that they'd like to win them,
but they'd rather stress being in shape
for the league curtain-raiser than a
pair Of meaningless exhibition VIC
tories.
Flaherty TO Crack Whip.
Well, it seems as if the Messrs.
Marshall and Flaherty were only fool
ing. Disguised at what he termed
the "sluggishness" Of the entire squad,
Flaherty ordered all hands out for
morning workout today before board
ing the homeward-bound train. Mar
shall, burning as only he can burn
when irritated, told Flaherty that he'd
better take his time in deciding which
three members of the squad should be
cut in order to conform to the league
limit of 80 players. He hinted that
rockies weren't the only ones he'd con-
slider dropping. Flaherty nodded his
assent. AS result, veteran or two
may be released.
Aware of the fact that some of the
players hadn't taken the game too
seriously. F1aherty started cracking
the whip last night. He blankly
refused Charley Malone and a couple
other players who had relatives and
friends in the vicinity permission to
do more than say good night to them,
ordering all players to bed by mid
night.
Marshall, storming because of what
he termed "bush-league thinking by
q maj jor league team" demanded to
know why passes had been thrown
by the Redskins when the score was
tied and the ball was deep in Red
skin territory. IAN interception set
the stage for the winning touch
DOWN. Flaherty said he had sent
in a substitute with orders to hold
the ball. Capt. Turk Edwards said
he had been told to call signals. but
insisted that he was no quarterback
and had left it to some one else The

Riley paved the way for two of the
All-Star markers by connecting with
six passes for total of lit yards.
Fenton ran IS yards around end

spectacular bit of running.
The Bears quickly proved their
tremendous superiority on the ground,

ing scored another Chicago touch
down in the first period.
Pros Outgain All-StarS.
In the third period Oelerich smashed

and in the fourth Ray Buivid started
a fake punt which developed into a
64-yard gain which ended in a touch
down by Nori. Carl Brumbaugh drove
across for the final Bear tally.
The professionals outgained the ALL
Stars, 3s5 yards to 9s, on running
plays. The Bears also passed for 1923
yards, compared with III for the losers.
