Not, Not, Not and Not

Probably it's the unusual wealth
er, or something. Anyhow, our
batting average is cut several
points because yesterdays item
concerning C. John Russell, the
veterans champion, has some in
correct statements. C. John is
not to be reduced in official sta
ton, is not to be shifted to the
field, is not in bad with Social
Security chiefs, and doesn't face
possible dismissal in December. .
-Four times at bat-no hfts!. .
To make it worse, too many of c.
Johns vet friends continued read
ing after the item was completed
and thought the next item (refer-
ring to an alien) meant c. John!
80. We hasten to splash that Rus
sell is American born, married an
American girl, and has two fine
American children. So sorry,
c. John, but at the same time we
want no inaccuracies in this space
and always point out same!

GOODBYE.

Washington met the Civil Serv'
Ice Assembly for the first time,
we believe, this week And it's
believed it was fine thing, both
for Washington and the Assembly
.. Washington, as completely as
the papers could tell in limited
space, learned that the Assembly
is q group Of ranking technicians
within the Federal and other Gov
eminent set-upS which is formed
for the purpose of bettering the
service through mutual discus
sion, once q year, of outstanding
problems The Assembly, of
course, has benefited by Wash
ington's gaining this knowledge
It Is true that the "profeS-
soriar' influence within the AS
sembly tends to become too strong
Ito the end that a college degree
becomes the principal need of an
ambitious Government worker) =,
but this tendency can be curbed,
1t is hoped, by watchfulness and
constructive criticism . Other
wise the Assembly, in our opinion,
is one Of the finest outfits in ex-
istence for the ultimate gain of
the Government worker, whether
he be in the National Capital or
Squash Corners.

the remaining IS yards for touch-
down. Episcopal was held during the
rest of the nrst two periods. but
opened up again shortly after half

the second touchdown when he went
over on short line plunge, and
another points were added on>a rs

thus earned the Lions well-deserved
20-18 victory over the Cadets before
crowd Of $4,000 in Niche Stadium.
The Lions triumph, their second in
two major games. was the result Of
teamwork and well-destributed at
tack rather than an individual victory
for Sid Luckman, who was the whole
show last week against Yale.
Luckman was in there again today,
pitching nine completed passes for
gain of 1l5 yards. But he had to
share the honors with Art Radvilas,

first touchdown within four minutes
OF the start Columbia had the ball
briefly on the following kickoff. was
forced to punt and Army rolled again.
This time the Cadets covered 81
yards in eight plays for first down on
the Lion IA, lost the ball on downs
as passing attack failed, then re-
gained possession on the 10 as Co.
lumbia fumbled on its first play.
Wilson was called on again and the
Army halfback, on virtually the same
play he'd scored on before. crossed the
Columbia goal-line standing up to
make the score 1910.
Even when short Luckman-Seidel
pass climaxed a concerted 65-yard
drive and gave Columbia its first score
on the second play of the second
quarter, the fact that Art Frontczak
had missed both of Army's tries for
the extra point didn't seem important.
It seemed even less so when Army
bounced back from the Columbia score
for a 6S-yard touchdown march that
made it 1876 at the half.
But Radvilas, Luckman and COM
pany weren't as discouraged as their
supporters in the stands. Radvilas
