attempt to Pull in Fish on Line
Fatal to Boy, 10, in Rock Creek
Three Passersby Leap il,
and Recover Body of
Richard Vent.

An excited attempt to pull in a fish
on a handline that slipped from the
bank of Rock Greek yesterday cost
the life of 10-year-old Richard Vent,
who was drowned while two young
companions watched helplessly.
Rescue efforts by a pedestrian and
two marines were futile The boy, only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Vent,
Chalfonte Apartments, 1901 Argonne
place NV, was dead when his body
was recovered.
Richard. fifth-grade pupil at the
Cooke School, rode his bicycle into
the park shortly before pm, with
James Jones, 9. also OF the Chalfonte,
and Charles Jefferson, 10, of 1851
Lanier place NV.
Threw Out Their Lines.
From a spot near the Pierce Mill
Dam, where the current is swift and
the water reaches depths of more than
II feet, Richard and James threw
out their lines while Charles locked
their bicycles.
Richards line had hardly struck
the water before it jerked and started
to slide away. Intent only on saving
his line and making the best of the
bite Richard skidded in the mud
as he ran forward and fell into the
creek.
Unable to swim and dressed in
heavy clothing he was swept under
and downstream. The cries of his
young friends attracted passersby,
among them Mark Racioppi. a w. p
A. clerk of 1921 New Hampshire ave-
nue. NV, and two marines, driving
IN a machine with Quantico tags.
All three, police we're told leaped
in, fully clothed, and finally succeeded
in hauling the lad ashore.
Attempts Are Futile.
Other persons who arrived on the
scene few minutes later called the
rescue squad. an Emergency hospital
ambulance and several physicians liv-
ing nearby. After unsuccessful at
temps at resuscitation, the boy was
taken to Emergency, where he was
pronounced dead on arrival

Glad Weidinger Will Be Fit,

to Be Main Hope.

Maryland's grid squad was to re-
sumo practice today at College Park
for the homecoming struggle with Vir-
ginia Military Institute after taking a
day Of rest to recuperate and to get a
line on its casualties.
There was some good news from the
hospital corps, as it appears as if
Quarterback Charlie Weidinger, who
went only eight minutes against Vir-
ginia last Saturday before suffering an
ankle injury, would be ready to face
the Keydets. Bad news was that
Tackle Bob Brown, who went out on
the first kickoff, could be counted out
Of this weeks picture.
Murphy to Be Ready.
Joe Murphy, who suffered a slight
strain of tendon, was the only other
casual, and the fleet 151-pound half
back who shone against the Cavaliers
should be o. K. in a couple days. Next
to big Jim Gillette, Virginia's ace, he
was just about the best all-around
back on the field last Saturday.
Maryland rates its chances against
v. M. I. as no better than they were
against Virginia and feels 1t will have
to take to the air against the Keydets,
as it did against the Cavaliers for three
scores last week in the 27-19 losing
duel. Terp scouts report that the v.
M. I. line is too powerful and aggres-
sive to permit much headway by land.
v. M. I. Has Fine Record.
v. M. l., undefeated in the Southern
Conference, will be defending a fine
record when it invades College Park,
having handily beaten Elon, Richmond
and William and Mary, tied Virginia
and Clemson and lost only to Navy.

thriller last year at Lexington, Persh-

G. j. MUST FIGHT
OWLS, PRECEDENT.
Strong Friday Night Foes
Have Lost Only Once in
FIoodIight Game.

If Georgetown can keep its unde-
feated, united record intact Friday
night when it goes to Philadelphia to
meet Pop Warmers Temple team it
will have accomplished something that
has been done only once in eight years.
Since Temple, one Of the first teams
in the East to play night football,
started nocturnal games. in 1880, only
one team ever has beaten the Owls
under the floodlights Carnegie Tech
did 1t in 1896 with a TO victory.
However, in q joint effort to break
the night jinx and to keep his own
record unsullied, Coach Jack Hagerty
announced today that four veteran
linemen who did not start against
Manhattan would be in there against
Temple at the opening whistle.
Although the younger men whom
they will replace gave good accounts
OF themselves. Hagerty knows that
Temple has = veteran team and deems
1t wise to start as many experienced
players as possible. For this reason
Jim Hill and Bill Burke will start at
the guard posts, Tom Robertson at
tackle and Lefty Riofski at center
No change will be made in the back
field, which will line up with Nc
Fadden at quarter, Melendeck and
Koshlap at halves and Castiglia at
full.
Georgetown was to hold its only
scrimmage of the week this after
noon in an effort to improve its
blocking.
Signal drills and dummy scrim-
mage against the Hilltop freshmen
using Temple plays will be held to-
morrow and Thursday.

a double scoring threat, for Nowaskey,
who played fullback last year, special
ICES in the end-around play and is a
skillful pass catcher.
G.. w. morale probably never was
higher. Instead of being awed by the
47-14 score rolled up Saturday by Ole
Miss against a supposedly strong
Centenary team, the Colonials took
the attitude of "the bigger they come, "
etc.
The Rebels whipped the Colonials
last year. 27-6. Beyond question, the
Buff and Blue is greatly improved
over 1887. Mississippi lost several of
its best linemen, notably All-America
Bruiser Kinard, but are back with a
balanced, powerful backfield. BY
land and air the Rebels blasted Cente-
neary with, according to report, their
strongest attack of the season.
Ole Miss may have reached its peak
in this game and thus be due for a
letdown. This possibility, plus long
trip and all those G. w. assets we've
mentioned, combine to set the stage
for q so-called startling upset"
Anyway, we're taking a flyer on the
Colonials.

Keep Newborn Baby Warm
and Reduce the Mortality

Washington. - Keeping newborn
babies warm after their birth is a
simple but important way of helping
to cut down infant deaths, DR.. Hor-
ton Casparis of Vanderbilt univer-
sity pointed out at the conference
on better care for mothers and
babies held under the auspices
of the United States children's bu-
reau here.
Before birth the baby has been
living in an environment with a
temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahren-
heit, which may be compared to the
willing heat of midsummer. An in
FAINT, especially a prematurely born
infant, needs to be gradually ac-
climated to the temperature of his
new environment, just as an adult
is careful about not getting chilled
after hot bath. Failure to pro-
tect the baby against the change in
temperature at birth may, directly
or indirectly, be responsible for his
death.
Protecting the infant from infec-
ton and seeing that he gets plenty
of water and suitable food are 9TH
er important measures stressed by
DR.. Casparis.
