several OF the IL WaShlngtOnfans
aboard the refugee ship doomed BY
rumor to watery grave-the S. S
Iroquois-were safe in their homes
here today with stories more con-
cerned with the trials of a voyage
in storm -churned waters than with
runors of the disastrous, fate that
was to be theirs.
Daniel j. Broderick, a Census Bu-
reau employe, who returned with
his native Irish accent whetted by
a months stay in the homeland
summed up the general tenor OF
the comments on the voyage by
saying:
After we got through four DAYS
of the roughest water I've ever seen
IN that little can of grapefruit (his
term for the small Iroquois), our
worries were over. A trifling thing
like rumors of submarine didn' t
seem to bother us much. What's
more, I don't think many of us
believed them in the first place."
The little coastwise steamer,
pressed into emergency service to
transport American refugees from
War-torn Europe, moved serenely
into New York Harbor at dusk yes
terday with her overload of pas
sengers singing and shouting with
delight.
Miss Liberty had her night shirt
on" Mr.. Broderick said, but she
looked plenty good to U.s."
Knew Something Was Amiss.
Mr.. Broderick, whose nome is at
1913 V street Sc, said most of the
passengers were aware that "some-
thing was amiss" when the ships
officers began searching heavy lug
gage IN the hold last Friday. That
Was the day after the Federal Gov
ernment had been informed by the
German admiralty that the Iro-
quois was to be sunk, presumably
by either the British or the French,
to draw this country into war.
I'VE had been told that the
Athena had been sunk by an in
fernal machine within her hold
rather than torpedo" Mr.. Brod-
erick stated, "and we understood
that was to be our fate. It seemed
too far-fetched to worry us much
though"
.Overjoyed to See Cutter.
Mr.. Broderick admitted, however,
that the passengers were overjoyed
to see the United States Coast
Guard cutter Campbell appear on
the horizon Sunday.
This admission found a second in
Frank j. Clark, a stationary engi-
neer, of 427 Sixteenth street Sc,
who commented, also in a native
Irish accent:
1T was certainly nice of them to
send a convoy to meet us. We felt
much better"
He, too, stated that the Joy over
seeing the official convoy was Sec
ond to that felt when the Iroquois
hit smooth water after weathering
the storm.
Mr.. Broderick said that scores of
the passengers received black eyes,
broken noses, bruised arms and legs"
while the mountainous waves Of the
storm tossed the little vessel about
like so much matchwood.
Found Food in Lap.
'Why, it was nothing to suddenly
find q steak or a piece of liver in
your lap while attempting to eat a
bite in the dining room," he COM
mented. Mr.. Broderick admittedly
was one of the comparatively few
VINO attempted this procedure, how
ever. The ships doctor treated sew
eral hundred for seasickness during
the storm portion Of the voyage.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. q. - The
mighty Tulane Green Wave, featur-
ing Jitterbug Bob Kellogg, turned
on the power again today and
whipped the Mississippi Rebels. 18
to 6, before a homecoming crowd of
$4,000.
Kellogg, l65-pound halfback from
Wynne, Ark. made strong bid for
all-America honors in the first and
third quarters with an electrifying
106-yard dash to a touchdown, and
a 24-yard sprint without interfer-
ence through the entire Ole Miss
team for another.
Tulane got gift touchdown to-
ward the end of the fourth when
Burton Buddy Banker snagged
Junior Hovious' long pass on the
Rebel As and raced to counter.
Hovious starred for the Rebels and
saved his team from a shutout almost
unaided in the final period.
He raced back the kickoff for 80
yards, and then dropped back to
pass. Finding no receiver open, he
sprinted through Tulane's defense
for 26 yards. Then he began to fling
them right and left. Capt. Bill
Schneider connected with three that
brought the ball to the goal line.
Hovious' first attempt to Ham
Murphy was slapped down but Chick
Gladding took the next on the goal
line.
The game was full of costly fun
bles for both teams, the hobbies end
ing numerous drives which seemed
headed for pay dirt.

SEATTLE, Oct. 28.-Maybe the
baseball weather-a warm, sunny
day-had something to do with 1t,
but the University Of Washington
Huskies turned in their football first
victory of the season today over the
Stanford Indians by a baseball score
Of 8 to S.
The victory, Washington's first
in five starts, 50 enthused the WIN
hungry Washington rooters that
they swarmed on the field after the
game and tore down their own goal
posts.
1t was Stanfords third Pacific
Coast Conference loss, and the
Cards have yet to win game, hav-
ing tied U. c. L. A. in their other
tilt.
The contest was q thriller with
spectacular passes, fumbles and
missed opportunities and the out
come wasn't certain until the final
gun as the crowd of $4,000 home
coming fans gnawed their finger
nails. There were two safeties-one
legitimate and the other borrowed
from Yale-a field goal and .
touchdown.
Washington scored a safety in the
f1rSt when Fullback Norm Standlee
of Stanford was nailed behind the
goal line, but Halfback Jim Groves
booted a place kick in the second
quarter to put the Indians ahead,
80.
A 75-yard Husky march in the
third, with fullback Don Jones 60
ing the final foot, clinched the con-
test.
After a desperate fourth-period
Stanford drive was stopped on the
3, Washington deliberately gave
Stanford q safety, Is Yale did
against Army last week. and thus
was enabled to kick from It's 20.

Skins Also Must Watch
IsbeII, HinkIe Today,
Their Coach Adds
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach. WaShlnEton REDSKINS.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Oct. 28.-
Upon two rookie backs largely de-
pend our chances of beating the
Packers tomorrow.
Although We have altered our
whole defense in an effort to stop
the Herbert -Hutson combination
Dick Todd and Wilbur Moore are
the men We are counting most on
to thwart the competitions of this
outstanding passing team. For they
are the ones who have been as
signed the task of trailing Don
Hutson. than whom there is nc
more elusive end in the league.
Other Packers to Watch.
Todd and Moore, I'm convinced,
are the only two men on the squad
with the speed and ability to cover
Hutson effectively One Of them
always will be in the game, and If
either is hurt, it will be up to the
other to hold out as long as pos
sible.
Although the concentration all
seems to be on the Hutson- -Herber
act. that doesn't mean that I regard
them as the Packers sole threat
Cecil Isbell is nearly as good a
passer as Herber and he is a most
dangerous runner. especially of
tackle and on spinner plays And
Clarke Hinkle and Ed Jankowski
are two hard-running backs.
However. I'm confident our lines
will more than hold their own with
the Bays forward wall. Although
we will be outweighed perhaps 10
pounds to the man. I don't think
the Packer line is as fast or as clever
as ours.
Coach's Selections Today.
In other league games tomorrow
I'm picking:
The Giants to beat the Dodgers,
although Potsy Clark's team has an
outside chance.
The Chicago Bears to whip the
Detroit Lions by two touchdowns
The Cleveland Rams-and Parker

rates another defeat,
