Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
Not Yet Named for Sousa.

There is rejoicing in many civic
circles over the inclusion In the
District appropriation bill Of the
item for beginning construction Of
q new bridge over the Anacostia
River in the line Of Pennsylvania
avenue. However, one widely ap-
proved feature in connection with
the erection Of the bridge has 10
far been overlooked, and that Is its
name. It has been urged that the
bridge be named after that famous
native of the District Of Columbia
and product Of Southeast Wash
ington, John Philip Sousa.
There Is pending before the Sem
ate Committee of the District Of
Columbia Senate bill 1851, intro
duced by Senator Copeland. It
provides that the bridge to be
erected over the Anacostia River, In

land. 1t Is of equal interest to
note that the District appropria-
tions supply the funds for the de-
velopment apd maintenance Of
these tracts Of United States prop
erty."
Some Of the groups interested in
this matter are anxious to learn
OF any other community in the
country where the local taxpayers
are required to buy lands for the
expansion of the holdings Of tho

gested in some quarters that this
policy indicates the possibility of

legislative Riders
Good and Bad.
Legislative riders on appro-
priation bills have recently been
the subject for earnest debate
In most of the civic and business
groups. The question as to what
stand should be taken as to these
riders Is one which has never been
solved and probably never will be
to the satisfaction OF many.
The experience OF the District
has been SO varied as to make any
uniform rule entirely out of the
question. There are good riders
as well as bad riders and there
have been many times in the past
when urgently needed legislation,
wanted by the people, would have
never been enacted but by the
rider route.
On number of occasions entire
bills OF great length have been
added as amendments to the Dis
trict appropriation bill when they
encountered an impossible blockade
in one of the legislative committees.
An example of this kind is the
District Public Utilities Act. Others
of equal importance might be men,
toned.
Recently the rider transferring
funds from the Municipal Play
ground Department to the Com
munity Center Department was
widely approved as a good rider.
But the famous red rider" was
considered a bad rider and op-
posed as soon as 1t was identified
after its mysterious appearance.
Under the circumstances one can
hardly take the position of un-
qualified opposition to all riders
on appropriation bills. as some of
them may be desirable civic gems.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ll.-Boyish
George Munger, q new star on the
football coaching horizon, looked over
the statistics of his first two games to-
day and decided that perhaps the
number "l3" is something OF q mathe-
matical bit Of luck.
George (he says lust call me
George") Is the University OF Pennsyl-
vania's 18th coach.
The number always has been lucky
for me-" he said as he waited to send
his young stalwarts through q rehears-
al for their encounter with Princeton
Saturday.
For instance, there are 13 letters in
my name"
But it couldn't have been luck alone
that brought Penn that 81 to victory
over Yale last Saturday or the "a to s
score against Lafayette the week be-
fore.
The old grads and others who have
whooped it up from the stands Of
Franklin Field during his first two
games as varsity coach give a great
deal OF the credit to George.
The 29year-old mentor modestly
skips most questions about himself.
What little success We have had"
he said. "is due to team play and team
work rather than to any one In
dividual"
And it really is the way the men are
playing individually and as team
that has every one putting plenty Of
chest in Hail, Pennsylvania"
Munger, who moved into one of the
East's prize football berths this fall
after only five years of high school
and freshman coaching. has given the
game practically to the players. Capt.
Walter Shinn. for instance. attends all
