UNVEILS F A s i
| EFT IN DRILL
By HOWARD JACOBS

Small Montana, No. ranking
flyweight of the world, is coming
along in splendid shape for his
15-round encounter with Aurelien
La Mothe, Canadian titlist, which
is one Of the cofeatures on the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club
benefit boxing program to be
staged next Monday night in
Griffith Stadium.
The 107-pound Filipino dis
played his highly touted left hand
before a small gathering at the
National Capital gymnasium yes
terday, and left an indelible inn
preston. Exchanging blows with
Stablemate Cyril Josephs, a 1876
pound New York Negro, the mite
soft-spoken Montana really gave
brilliant exhibition in a four
round workout, and left the ring
hardly drawing deep breath.
SCORES WITH LEFT
Appearing a bit flat-footed in
the first session, but still poking
that vaunted left hand in his
rivals face, Montana finally be-
gan to step around and was shoot
ing over five, and sometimes six,
leftS before his Negro Sparmate
could get in one. He was fast as
a streak, and if he goes to bat
with the same speed and thought
against La Mothe as he did IN the
drill yesterday, then local fiStic
followers, and there should be
quite a gathering at that, are in
for a real treat.
Flyweights, as rule, are with
out a doubt the most eye-sore
fighters to watch, but this Mon.
tana goes to town as though he
was a lightweight. He loves to
rough it up in close, but never let
ting up with that left in his oppo-
nent'S face and head.

Nevertheless, in some acute in

1t is also true that this condi-

When nephritis occurs in any
form, the symptoms should be
treated in connection with the
existing cause. Dietetic treat
ment accompanied by warm
baths or hot applications and
medicines prescribed to lessen
the strain on the kidneys bring
about the most successful re-
suits. Food that is not irritating
to the kidneys, such as mutton,
beef broth, soothing soups and
milk are especially helpful. Meat

severe acute stages, but is per
missable when lean and sparsely

C. ". TO FEATURE
new OFFENSIVE
FOOTBALL STYLE.
BY CHICK KENNY

If Coach Bill Reinhart has any.
thing to do about it, the George
Washington football team Is going
to blossom out into an offensive
outfit that will be an exact op
posite to the method Of play here
tofore incorporated in Colonial
football.
Starting Friday night, the Buff
and Blue will attempt to go into
the manufacture of touchdowns in
wholesale lots, which means that
Furman University, the Colonials'
opening game opponent, is in for
q rude jolt-maybe.
In the past, under the regime of
Possum Jim Pixlee, the method of
play was strictly defensive. 1t was
first play defensive ball, for, if
your opponent fails to score, you
cannot lose.
PHILOSOPHY CHANGES
But the game philosophy of Bill
Reinhart Is entirely different. He
maintains that If the team scores
raft Of tallies, then it is up to
the opposition to likewise, only
better, in order to win.
Reinhart knows that the public
wants plenty of scoring, not q
tight-ribbed ball game taken over
by defensive tactics. The fellow
who goes to a ball game these
days and puts his hard-earned
money on the line is paying for
touchdownS. The more the mer.
rier.
Anybody who starts popping
off that he attends football
games to watch the play of the
lines is talking through his hat"
Reinhart maintains. where
do all the thrills Of q game
come from-two fellows waging
a two-man warfare, where no
one can see them, or from the
back who swivel-hipS out into
the open for a long gain?"
TAKES TO THE OPEN
Thus, George Washington takes
to the open. It's up to the backs
to stage the show for the spec.
tator in the stands. And it's up
to the linemen to make the holes
and the blocking backs and ends
to clear the path for the runner
With the exception Of one OF
two "breather" games, George
Washington football elevenS have
been purely defensive. Few games
on the Colonials' card each year
other than the SetupS, have been
won by more than two touch
downs.
OF all the games played in this
section in the last several seasons,
it is believed, without delving into
the records, that G. w. has the
lowest season point total OF any
local eleven.
REPORTS INJURIES
A press release from Greenville.
S. c., states that Furman after Its
battle with Bucknell last Friday
night has no less than three play
ers on the hospital list. This is
news to Betchy Ketch, who
secuted the eleven in its tilt with
the BiSons.
"The Furmans looked like
they came out of the fray in
good shape" said Betchy. Il
saw the club Immediately follow
ing the game and there were no
injuries showing among the
club. think it's bear story.
"Just you watch, the same
team that faced Bucknell Mon
day night will again be on hand
against us Friday night. They
say that Wofford, the guard, is
out with an injury. Well, they
have to show me. I refuse to
believe it until after the game.
And, incidentally, this fellow
Wollford is quite a guard. You
should have seen him in the
backfield Of Bucknell last Fri
day night"

German Garbage Cans

In her desperate effort to pre-
vent waste of any materials which
can possibly be used over again,
Germany prohibits indiscriminate
dumping of refuse into garbage
cans. A definite national plan
has been adopted for retaining
waste materials, ranging from
rags and tinfoil to human hair.
The whole country is divided
into collection districts. The sal
vaged materials include such
small items as bottle tops and
toothpaste tubes for conversion
into light metals. Human hair is
converted into felt and card board
and is also used in carpet weav-
ing.
Every bone, scrap of paper and
bit of iron is saved, and even cof-
fee grounds are treated for the ex-
traction of the small amounts of
fat, wax and resin they contain.
Ordinary garbage is scrupulously
saved to be sterilized and convert
ed into stock feed, sometimes
mixed with fish meal or small
quantities of crushed barley.
In short, GermanEs need for
raw materials is so great as to
make necessary the salvage of
everything possible. With all this
frugality, the living conditions of
the mass of the German people
are said to be far below those of
most other European countries.
Considering that this situation
exists in time of peace, it is
hard to believe that Germany
could carry on a war with strong
nations which have far better
means of obtaining supplies from
the outside.

The Child At School

With the opening of another
school year, the problem of en-
couraging the child to make the
most of the opportunities which
the school offers again presents
itself. 1t is problem in which
parents should take a keen inter
es'
Perhaps the most important OBJ
jective to be sought is to awaken
in the child a real desire for
knowledge. It should be pointed
out that it is possible to derive
enjoyment from the pursuit of
school studies if one approaches
them with a genuine ambition to
learn. The child should not be led
to feel that going to school is an
unpleasant duty. He should be
impressed with the fact that it is
a privilege to be appreciated, not
only as preparation for after life
but as means of present happi-
ness and satisfaction as well.
Some children appear to realize
this without urging, but others
seem to be naturally averse to
mental effort, and require patient
handling in order to arouse their
interest in school work.
Parents should not place the en-
tire responsibility upon the
teachers, but should cooperate
with them, not only insisting
upon punctual attendance, but also
in leading the child to adopt a
proper attitude toward his studies
