POLICE HEAD
KEEPING away
FROM HEARING
Eastwood F ails for
Second Time to Be
Witness in Civil
Service Probe.

AT 2:15 Wednesday Safety
Commissioner Eastwood still
had failed to appear to testify
at the Civil Service board
hearing on demotions of nine
detectives in the Tacoma po-
lice department. G.. K. An
derson, secretary Of the board,
testified he had served a sub
poena upon the commissioner
but that Eastwood had crum-
pied it up and said he would
not testify.
Attorneys Owen Hugh e 5
and Bartlett Rummel for the
claimants offered to prove by
Eastwood that he had placed
on the police bulletin board an
anonymous letter slanderous
to the detectives involved and
also that they could prove by
him that his reorganization
plan for the police department
was not made in good faith in
the interests of economy and
efficiency but to get at" GER
tain members of the depart
ment.
Corporation Counsel How
ard Carothers, who is repre-
senting the city, absolved him.
self of any blame for East
woods non-appearance, saying
he advised the commissioner
Wednesday morning that he
should appear.
Department Unbalanced
Tacoma's police department un-
der the Eastwood reorganization
is badly unbalanced, seriously
short of detectives and is suffer
ing from lack of coordination be-
tween related divisions, veteran
members of the department tesu-
fled before the civil service board
Tuesday afternoon
Safety Commissioner Eastwood
was criticized by attorneys for his
failure to appear Tuesday as
subpoenaed witness and for his
failure to send word or offer any
excuse for his absence. Eastwood
had been formally summoned by
attorneys for the nine detectives
whose claims for reinstatement
and for back-pay to Sept. /, are
the purpose of the hearing.
An effort was to be made We'd
nesday afternoon TO wind up the
testimony and TO require East
woods attendance as witness
among others. The hearing was
scheduled to be resumed at 100
o'clock and to continue through
until the last witness had been
heard. Attorneys Rummell and
Hughes representing the nine de-
NOTED detectives said a ma jority
of their witnesses would take but
little time
Testimony Damaging
Most damaging testimony was
that Of Capt. Fred NJ. Gardner.
who has held the rank of captain
20 years. Gardeners responsible
ties were greatly increased under
the reorganization of Sept. ! and
his assertion that the department
is suffering from serious lack of
balance was the more impressive
since Gardner has been out OF
the line of fire in all the political
clubbing in department affairs

Course Record Made
As Dengis Captures
4. A. j. Marathon
Pots Pace So Hot Two
Others Beut Old Time
For Yonkers Race
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tne Associated Press.
YONKERS, N. Y, Nov. 13.-Pat
Dengis, the transplanted Welsh
man, who runs 20 miles nearly every
night in the year as easily as junior
runs to the grocery store, won his
18th marathon in IS starts yesterday
when he captured the National
A. A. U. championship for the third
time.
Dengis trains for these things by
cantering more than 100 miles every
week in and around Baltimore, where
he lives.
Three Beat Old Mark.
Just a little bit of fooling around
to keep in trim, he'll tell you. But
yesterday he wasn't fooling, for in
the process of running ST adversaries
bowlegged, he cracked a 4-year -old
course record and carried his two
closest competitors ahead of the
last record, too.
The old mark of hours, 38
minutes and 43 seconds was estab-
lished by John Kelley of Boston in
1885, when this event was known
simply as the Yonkers Marathon.
Pat Needed No Horse.
Yesterday, Dengis lowered it to
2:33:452, and so bruising was his
pace that Gerard Cote of St.
Hyacinthe, Quebec, who finished
second, was clocked in 2::35:33, and
Kelley himself checked in at 2:37:08.
An anxious handler drove up
alongside Dengis about Is miles out
and asked whether there was any
thing he wanted. Pat said, yeah,
a horse Shortly thereafter, he
waved the boys good-by and finished
very much by himself. So he must
have been fooling about the horse.

two weeks, while Georgetown's op-

week as the Hoyas add victory on

takenly were regarded as the lone
major opponents on Catholics sched-
ule-with the rest merely breathers.

Bowl Bids Loom
For Winner Of
Big Six Duel
Decisive Conflicts
Are Just Ahead in
Most Grid Sectors
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

hSsOC4dtcu FTeSS opOEtS WrlteI.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13-It appears
likely that more things will be set
tied definitely about college football
teams next Saturday than on any
one day all this season.
The center of football power,
which has been moving steadily
southwark this year. shifted sud-
denly toward the midlands last
week end with Oklahoma and Mis-
souri, in the leading roles. Decisive
games in all quarters this week
should either give some definite
sign as to where that center will
wind up or at least show which
teams will nave hand in the final
decision.
] The elimination of Notre Dame
and Catholic University from the
unbeaten and united list were only
incidents in the shift of power,
which saw Oklahoma, Missouri,
Iowa, Ohio State, Georgia Tech,
Clemson and Santa Clara move up
to threaten the powers that be.
1t was Iowa. which stopped
great Irish winning streak back
in 1921, that did the trick again
Saturday by 7-to-6 count as Nile
Kinnick put on great show in
his fifth consecutive Commute
game.
Catholic U. was a real upset VIC
tim in losing, 1913, to little st.
Anslem.
Big Test for Cornell.
This weeks program of decisive
battles in various sections shapes
up, briefly, something like this:
East: Cornell-Dartmouth is the
weeks biggest Eastern game. Cor
nell. sharing with Duquesne the un-
beaten-untied ranking in the East,
hasn't added to its stature much in
two successive close calls. The big
Red team just did skim by Colgate.
14-12. Dartmouth took its first
defeat, 81, at Princeton's hands.
Both are aiming to come back in
the ivy League" title and as natural
rivals will have double incentive.
Georgetown. seeking its second
straight undefeated season, follows
its 300 win over Maryland with an
encounter with debated New York
University, 20-7 victim of Missouri.
Holy Cross, like Boston College
back among the Eastern leaders de-
spite an early-season intersectional
loss, whipped Temple, 14-0, and faces
Carnegie Tech. 60 victim of Pitt.
Army, routed, $50, by Harvard, plays
Penn State.
The Princeton-Ya rivalry, oldest
continuous series in football, takes
its usual leading spot. even though
the Ellis were only good enough to tie
Brown, 14-14.
Southern Title in Balance.
In the intersectional line, Pitt
takes on Nebraska; Pennsylvania,
| 100 upset victim of Penn State,
meets Michigan. Fordham, 1870
winner over Indiana. has its annual
tussle with st. Mary's: Columbia,
which beat Navy. 1913, bumps into
the mighty Tulane team which de-
feated Alabama, 1870.
South: If the Southern Conference
title isn't decided by this weeks
Duke-North Carolina game, it prob
ably never will be. for Clemson and
Richmond both have chances to tie
the survivor.
Tennessee. whose biggest gun.
George Cafego, was hurt in a $40
rout of The Citadel, returns to
