cORb|TT COMPANY
100 PCT, ON CHEST
Every One Of Il Officers
And Employees Contri-
butes To Cause

S. T. Feace, chairman of the 1880
Vance County Community Chest cam
paign, which got under way yester-
day, said today that officers and en-
ployees of The Corbitt COMPANY
motor truck manufacturers. had sub
scribed 100 percent to the Chest fund.
He announced that the II persons in
the organization had all made con-
tributions of 81 or more.
Mr.. Peace said leaders of the cam
paign were much encouraged by ikls
act of cooperation, and also by the
response generally that had been re,
ceived.
No figures were available TODAY as
to the total amount of early contri-
buttons, but that reports were ex-
pected to be available after a meet
ing of workers tonight All of TIE So
icitors were asked to attend tie meet
ing tonight.
A budget of $1,000 is asked of the
community for the coming year. That
is slightly under the $3.50 bulge
that was underwritten last year, and
workers are hopeful that the total can
be achieved this week. The campaign
is to end on Thursday of this week
if all prospects can be seen during
the period.
Officers of the chest drive say the
community should subscribe the re-
duced budget more easily than it did
a larger one last year, and were call
ing upon supporters of the program
to give as generously as they could to
that end.

PRICE OF TOBACCO

Average Apparently Not At

Crop Control

Tobacco prices here did not slump

tobacco control for 1889 to carry in

cording to Fred Allen, sales super
visor for the Henderson market. Mr.
Allen reported sales Monday of 123.-
628 pounds for $19,199.61, at an aver
age of 1883 per hundred pounds.
The average last Friday, the last
sale prior to the election, had an av-
erage of nearly one cent a pound
above the Monday figure, Mr.. Allen
said.
Offerings today were estimated at
around $4,000 pounds. The Henderson
market ends its season Friday of this
week, earliest closing date in more
than quarter of a century.

NINTH GRADE TEAM
DEFEAT FRESHMEN

The ninth graders whipped the
eighth graders at Henderson high
school yesterday afternoon on the ath-
letic field to 6 in thrilling grid
iron contest.
The eighth graders scored early on
a pass to Blacknall, and in the final
minutes of the game Billy Tucker
got away for a long touchdown run.
He added the extra point with a run,
giving his team the winning margin.
Blacknall was the best the eighth
graders had to offer, and Stewart
Fogleman's accurate passing was the
outstanding bit of the ninth graders.

This was one day that that morn

that of the night before. or at least
it should have been for Catholic

chirpy 1t wasn't SO much the fact
that they had been licked in their

forced to accept defeat. For after
an exceptionally good and heavier

The result of that game not
only showed how mistaken they
were but proved that they could
be beaten by the Giants. Well,
now the burden Of proof is on
us. We beat the Giants twice last
year, but this is 1898 and We
have yet to beat 'em. Maybe we
can't. Who knows?
One thing I do know. The
Giants will be out there Sunday
fighting with all the skill and
spirit at their command. Moth
ing enrages a team more than to
be beaten by its arch rival and
for that to happen two years IN
a row Is just too much.
But Sundays the pay-of1. The
pressure's going to be on both
teams, but more on the Redskins
because we've got to win while
the Giants could lift our Eastern
title by holding us to a tie.
We've done it twice. Can We do

Redskins Want Fans
To Omit Send-0ff
For Giant Tilt
Appreciate Good Will;
Hope They'll Merit
Ii on Return Home
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.

Washington football fans might
Jump at the suggestion, but the
Redskins are hoping there won't
be any send-off ceremonies when
they leave for New York on the
Capitol Limited at 4 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon.
The Indians. it appears, are the
kind who would rather get their
cheers and back-slaps after they
have earned them, and not before.
Indeed, they've been rather super
stitious about send-offs ever since
last August's open-car parade to
Union Station and the lusty band
playing which took place there.
If they'd waited for that until
we'd come home" one Redskin said
upon returning 10 days later. may
be we wouldn't have dropped those
all-Star games in Chicago and
Dallas"
Not Lack Of Appreciation.
So If there are any well-meaning
souls who would let the Redskins
know they're behind them, the
champions are hoping that they
will wait until Sunday afternoon
at the Polo Grounds or until their
return here Sunday night. Just as
they were last year. Washington
pro gridmen are tremendously i'm
pressed with and appreciate the
public support they receive. Some
OF them, the rockies in particular,
find it hard to believe that around
10000 local fans are planning to
90 to New York this week end for
the sole purpose of cheering them
on, but whenever they express their
skepticism, veterans of last years
team reassure them it's no joke.

those who helped win the world
championship of 1887 said today,
and if 1 hadn't experienced it last
year. Id say 1t was just a lot of
ballyhoo. But seems believin' and
my memory's still good
If the Redskins do beat the Giants
in the final game as they have done
for the past two years, it's safe
to say that Union Station will see
its greatest mass welcome in history
when the team returns home next
Sunday night. For then, Washing
tonians will be able to greet a team
which not only has won the East
ern championship for the third
straight year. but team which will
have brought the Capital the play

OF its history as the home of

Will Go to Garden City.
Just as they did last year. the
Redskins are going North four days
/ before their big game. only this
week the Indians will stay at Gar
den City. L. l.. instead of at Rye
as they did last year Garden City
is about As minutes out of New
York City and the team will work
/ out there Thursday, Friday and

Sunday morning will Coach Ray
Flaherty bring his players into

Except for two or three minor
injuries which were uncovered at
the weeks first workout this morn
ing. the Redskins seem to have
come out of Sundays Pirate game
in fine shape physically. Bill Will
kin suffered slightly pulled leg

rather bruised but both seem sure
to be fully recovered for Sundays

BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach. Champion Washington Redskins.
We've just begun to fight
might be an extremely old quo
ta>n. but if anything ever ap-
piled to the Redskins. this does.
It's no secret that, for the bet-
ter part of this season, the Red
skins haven't played the type of
game they've been capable of.
I'm perfectly aware of the fact
that injuries to fellows like Riley
Smith, Sammy Baugh, Max
Krause. Andy Farkas and Turk
Edwards have been pretty big
handicaps, but even then the rest
of the boys too often have been
content to take it easy.
AS examples. / give you our
two tie games with Brooklyn,
both of which we should have
won; our close calls with Phlla-
delphia and the first game with
Pittsburgh. With sustained pres
sure, We could have won any of
those games with plenty to spare,
