EXPERTS TO TESTIFY TO

PUPILS IN MARYLAND
TEACHERS SALARY CASE

Baltimre, Md. Nov. 8-Because
board of education would have
of the Anne Arundel County
the public believe that Negro
children do not have the capacity
to learn as quickly as white
children, two expert wi nesses
will be heard before the United
States District Court here on
November 8 when the case of
Walter Mills, Camp Parole,rMd.,
school teacher comes up for hear
ing.
The experts who have been call
cd in to testify are: DR.. Charles
II. Tompson, dean of Howard
Univarsity's college of liberal
arts, and an outstanding educa-
tor; and DR.. Otto Klineberg, pro-
fessor of psychology at Column
hia University, and author of a
number of books on the Negro.
Mills, a school principal at
Camp Parole, is seeking 10 force
the Anne Arundel County board
of education to pay him a sal Try
equal to that paid to a white
teacher doing the same work.
The board, in setting forth OBJ
~jections to paying white and
colored teachers IN the counties
of Maryland equal salaries, has
given as one of it's reasons the
fact that Negro children do not
have the capacity to learn as
rapidly as whites, hence Negro
teachers in charge of ohese pupils
should be paid less than white
teachers who teach white pupils.
Mills is represented by Leon
Ransom, professor of Law at
Howard University Law School;
William H. HASTE, dean of the
law school; w. A. C. Hughes, Jr.,
of Baltimore; and Thurgood
Marshall, special counsel of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.

 With 90 less days of racing meets, the total wagered at all tracks was $41, ,643,796 as against $48,991 ,815 in 1888. The reduction partly was at tributed to Nthe failure of tracks at Agawam, Crescent Park, Sportsmen's Park and the Grand Circuit to op- crate in this state.

HARVARD, FULL. STRENTH AWAITS
 STRONG PENN il
Mcdonald Back to Lead HarIOw's Best Club;
 Yale-Army Close
By TOM NOONAN

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Boston, Oct. 20.-(UP)-An un- tested Harvard eleven which has rolled up 81 points against two weak opponents makes a bid for eastern football hrogram brings together two undefeated, united and unscored on teams. Head Coach Dick Harlow of Harvard pits his intricate offensive, headed by Captain Torbie MacDon- aid, triple threat tailback and one of the casts classiest backs, and supported by & sophomore-studded lineup, against powerful Pennsyl- vania line backed by a wealth Of reserve strength.
 Slick Stuff
 Harlow, who has brought Harvard two straight Big Three titles, has admitted that the magic he has on tap will surpass anything he has attempted here in the past five years. Penn, he said, will see many uncrthodox defense formations and, if can believe my operatives, we'll also be shown few new defensive wrinkles"
 This just possibly may be Harlow's lest Harvard club. Without Mac Donald and End Jce Koufman, the Crimson has tallied IA touchdowns. Both these players will be ready to go against Penn.
 But Pennsylvania which has eked out touchdown yerdictS over Lafay- cite and Yale has yet to show its full offensive power. With such backs as Frank Reagan, Tony Chiz- nadia and Paul Wexler turning on the heat, the game may develop into high-scoring duel. The Crimson, however, rules a thin favorte to win its seventh straight.
 A revised Boston College lineup will face Temple, victor over Texas Christian, in another standout game here. Coach Frank Leahy, dissatis- fled with the teams chewing against Florida, has made six changes in the lineup of the Eagles who were touted an eastern power before los- ing to the southerners. The tears of the BC coaching staff have made their club a short-ender in the locaI betting, but Boston College should win in close, free-scoring game
 Strong Lines
 One of the days tightest games may be played at New Haven, Conn. where Yale meets Army. Neither team has shown much offensively but both have capable lines, Yal' particularly. The Ellis hold al eight-game winning edge in the ser ies which dates to 1893.
 Two once-beaten elevens, Hol Cross and Brown, collide at Provi dence, R. I. Coach Joe Sheeket sks crusaders apparently are on th road back after dropping their sec ond game of the season to an under rated Louisiana State club. Browr rated an eastern dark horse, lost t Colgate last week, but will be a full strength for the first time.

Stagg And Warner, Deans Of Coaches, Match Wits Tonight

San Francisco, Oct. 19-(UP)-- Two men meet tonight in the twi- light of two grand careers to settle 8 football argument of purely local importance.
 It's meeting between college of the Pacific, never heard of beyond California until Amos Alonzo Stagg came out of Chicago to take over its team seven years ago, and San Jose State College which enjoyed only slightly more fame until Glenn Sco- bey (Pop) Warner, chaffing at re- tirement, became its advisory coach and mapped its offense this year.

 Then too, Stagg, more agile than Warner despite his 77 years as com- pared to Pops 6S, has an old score to settle.
 Only once before have teams they coached met. In 1907, when Stagg's University of Chicago team was tops in the midwest and Warner was an upstart trying to bring national at tention to his Carlisle Indians, they sat facing each other across a grid iron. The Indians ran Stagg's team ragged, won 1894

Connecticut College Teams Ready For
 Important Games
By United Press

Connecticut's four major college football teams dug in today in pre- parataion for irvasions by out-of- state elevens.
 The biggest guns. of course, will boom at New Haven. where Yale and Army collide in their traditional scrap. Both the Ellis and Cadets practiced today in the Bowl and were pronounced ready for the fray.
 Two of the Yale cripples appeared ready to start despite ailments. They are Hal Whiteman, backfield man who is suffering from bad cold. and Jim Dern, 6 guard, who twisted his ankle last week.
 Joe Zilly, reserve end, was on the varsity starting team for the first team because Sterling Brnikley, reg ular Eli wingman, was in the hos pital recovering from an appendix operation.
 Smaller engagements will take place at:
 Hartford: Here an undefeated Trinity college team, tied once, risks its record against an invading Ho- bart eleven. Trinity was favored, but you never can tell.
 Middletown: Haverford college trooped into town to stack up against c twice-beaten Wesleyan university eleven. Wesleyan should take this one, but hold your breath.
 Storrs: An undefeated University of Maine squad stalked confidently into this quiet community to open fire on the University of Connecticut eleven. Maine, because of Its record, was favored.
 Meantime, a surprising New Brit ain Teachers collage team, which has scored 66 points in two games while its own goal-line has remained uncrossed, packed bags and jour- neyed to Oneonta, N. Y, to engage Io ,.txuirk
