HAMILTON. Bermuda, June Ia
Bermuda, that velvety green beauty
spot In the mid-Atlantic, offers fresh
fields for bicycle explorations to the
American tourist. Here the devotees
OF pedal and wheel may view the
coral islands on . series Of bicycle
tours-unimpeded by the honk Of mo-
tor horns that beset the cycle tours on
American highways.
The distance from Hamilton. the
capital city Of the Bermuda Islands,
to Coral Beach, the popular bathing
beach. Is approximately az miles,
which one may traverse on 4 cycle in
about rs Misunderstanding time out
to walk up the hills In true Bermuda
fashion. as only neophytes in the art
Of cycling try to pump up the hills
on the islands.
A Hamilton city bicycle tour gen.
orally includes . turn past the Ber-
muda Historical Society and q spin
around the end Of the harbor where
sail boats, speed boats, and launches
ply across from Pembroke Parish to
Paget. Warwick, Southampton and
Somerset. Cyclists not in the islands
know" should remember to keep to
the left Of the road always, and to
carry some sort Of q light at night.
It's . law rigidly enforced. And when
they reach the bottom Of Bermuda's
famous Strawberry Hill there Is only
one rule to follow-dismount and push
the bicycle up the hill.
Tom Moore's Tavern is one of the
many interesting travel sights sought
by honeymooners. Remarkably they
recall the story Of Tom Moore. the
Irish poet. and Hester Louise Tucker,
the Nea Of his love odes; how Hester
Louise Tucker was 1s, beautiful, an
islands belle when Tom Moore met
her early in 1904. How In his first
tete-a-tete with Hester, Tom Moore
poured out his alteration and gave her
the name Of Nea, the word that the
Greeks use when they mean young and
beautiful.
Rolling along in a carriage or pedal
ing side by side on bicycles or on q
tandem bicycle, bridal couples also
visit "2l," Bermuda's smart new
water front club. Here they lean el-
bows on a veranda table and watch
the white shadow play Of sails on
the blue Of Hamilton harbor. They
stroll down Front street and pick up
Colonial British additions to their
trousseaus, direct from Bond street,
sold at the famous Bermuda shops. |
Or they lie on the beach and watch
the white-tipped waves curl In on the
beach while they acquire q Bermuda

PLAY EQUIPMENT
AT SCHOOL ASKED
Citizens of North RandIe
Community Association
Hear Cat Tax Plea.

A request for swings and other play
ground equipment for the grounds Of
the Randle Portable Schools at Mime
sofa avenue and E street Sc. was made
by the North Randle Community Citi-
zens' Association when it met last night
in the school.
The group held that a properly
equipped playground was needed in the
area, and favored the school grounds
as the most favorable site. 1t asked
that items for the equipment be in
cluded in the new appropriation bill.
Oppose Gas Tax Diversion.
On motion of Harry W. F. Glemser,
delegate to the Federation of Citizens
Associations, the body opposed any
increase in or diversion of the gasoline
tax
In an amendment to Mr.. Glemser's
motion, the group asked that cat
tax similar to that levied on dogs, be
levied in lieu of any gasoline tax in
crease. Proponents of the cat tax
held that both cat lovers and cat
haters would favor the tax. that it
would raise considerable funds and
that it would not burden those who
paid it.
Indorse Police Station Plan.
The proposals Of Mai. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of the Metro
politan Police Department, to erect
police station at Forty-second street
and Benning road NE. and to give
1t full complement of officers and
men, were indorsed in a motion by
Richard Skofield, chairman of the
Police and Fire Committee.
The body has long been fighting
for more adequate police and fire pro-
lection, and has maintained that the
Eleventh Precinct is far too large to
be patroled from the station house.
1t has also urged ALLEGATION of more
officers to the precinct.

 Britain 5 Best 3-Year-0Id

LONDON. Dee. 15. The best British 3-year-old of 1938 is Sir Cunliffe owens lilly Rockfel.
 After an unpromising start as a 2-year-old, Rockfel this year won the Princess Elizabeth stakes, the One Thousand Guineas, the Oaks the Hyperion stakes, the Cham pion stakes and the Aintree Derby
 During the year she beat every thing but the St. Leger winner Scottish Union, and the Derby winner, Bois Roussel. Even at that her speed compared favorably with that of the Derby winner. She won the Oaks by four lengths in 2:37.4 nearly two seconds better than Bois Roussels time over the same course
 The daughter of Felstead and Rockliffe ran only four races as a 2-year-old She was eighth in her first two, lost by head in the third and won the fourth.
 Her development this year has been one of the highlights of ar exceedingly disappointing season for British trainers.

and L.S.U. He barely saw service against Sewanee and the Citadel
 A modest, unaSsuming youth Cafego will discuss football by the hour, but he dismisses his personal exploits with:
 "If it weren't for those fellows in the line, we guys in the backfield wouldn't have a chance The boys up front don't get enough credit"
 One Other Love
 Outside of football, Cafego has one other love. It's baseball.
 He rapped the apple for better than 1925 last summer with the Scarbro, w Va, independent team.
 George is the antithesis of the cinema football hero. He hasn't had date in his two years at Ten neSsee. Some of the co-eds tried to lure him into one recently when a backward week, in which the girls made the dates and picked up the checks, was observed. But it was no dice for Cafego.
 He gives most of the credit for whatever football prowess he has shown to Neyland.
 ''The Major inspires you to outdo yourself out there on the playing field. He's the best darn coach in the land" George opined

TENNIS ACE MAY
 CHANGE NATIONS

LONDON, Dec. 15-Anita Lizana U. s. Women's tennis singles cham picn in 1887, will probably play for Britain in the Wightman cup match next year.
 In the past Miss Lizana has rep resented Chile This year, how ever, she married Ronald Ellis, a Scotsman. Now the Lawn Tennis association has laid down the, rule that she may represent Britain in all national matches simply by de- claring her willingness to change her tennis nationality"
 Action of the L.T.A. is based on the International Lawn Tennis federation ruling that upon mar riage woman may elect to adopt the qualification of her husband
 The L.TA anticipates no com plaint from the U.SLT.A. about this ruling.
 It is also expected that Dorothy Round Little will return to inter- national competition. If so, these two, with Mary Hardwick, Peggy Scriven, and the fast-improving Margot Lumb will give Britain one of its finest teams in years.

By ESCAR THOMPSON

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. IS. = George Cafego, a 170-pound West Virginia wheelhorse, is the fuse be- hind the guns in the University of Tennessee eleven. He was the one to spark Tennessee to a triumphant season and to an Orange Bowl bid.
 Strangely enough, Major Robert R. Neyland, his coach, is just about the only coach, scout or writer who, after seeing Cafego, isn't on record as saying he's the finest back in the South. That's explained by the fact Neyland, a superstitious fellow, is afraid he would "jinx'' his spark plug by giving him a boost in the public prints.
 Neyland answers all questions about Cafego with a terse: Hes a fine back"
 Coach Frank Thomas said: Hes the finest back I've seen this year after the wiry Hungarian youth ran roughshod over Thomas Ala bama Red Elephants.
 His Associates Get Call
 George does Tennessee's kick ing, passing and most of the run ming until he gets within hailing distance of the glory stripe. Then he calls on one of his teammates, usually Fullback Leonard Coffman, to take the pigskin over. Cafego's first touchdown of the season came in the Louisiana State game.

 She is president of one and a member of another Chicago busi- ness and professional women's club and draws a line between these and purely social organiza tions. She prefers the business women's groups, she says, because there she finds hard-headed, hard working members of her sex who are striving for recognition in 2 mans world.
