For City Manager Plan

Georgetown has accelerated
its forward march, says the
Morning News. Recent
events indicate that the resi-
dents are prepared to do
whatever, may be necessary to
give the town new import
ance. In reorganizing the
Chamber of Commerce the
progressive movement has
been stimulated. 1t is sig
nificant that one of the first
things the reorganized cham
ber did was to approve a prof.
ect to modernize the munic-
ipal charter, which the pres
ent Legislature doubtless will
be asked to do.
f'This proposal is intended
to pave the way for a city
form of government
and extension of the munic-
ipal limits. The thought is to
foster development of the
town and to be prepared to
meet new demands which
may present themselves from
time to time.
'"This is a justifable atti-
tude. Georgetown, being the
seat Of Sussex County and
the trading point for the
country roundabout, is the
center Of interest in that part
Of the state. It IS enjoying
natural growth, yet it may be
that legislation such as is pro
posed would stimulate the de-
velopment program.

Delaware Keeps Right On

Times may be far from

Journal-Every Evening, "but
Delaware keeps right on MAX
ing generous contributions to
the United States treasury.
The fact is continues the
Journal-Every Evening, "that
the states contribution last
year, which was upwards Of
S83,OOO,OOO, was nearly S3,-
100000 more than that Of the
year before. This was not a
donation. 1t was taxes which
the federal government col
Iected from Delaware resi-
dents and corporations. It
shows to what extent the
United States is burdening
Delaware, next to the small
est state in the union, to help
meet the cost Of operating
the national government.
eff a reasonable share Of
this tax money could have
been used by the state to pay
its own operating expenses it
would be less difficult than It
has been to find enough rev
enue to keep our fiscal affairs
in balance. Delawareans have
to pay their state and local
taxes, in addition to pouring
vast millions as taxes into the
federal treasury.
"While Delaware was pay
ing more federal tax last yeal
than the year before severa
nearby states, in c lu d in
Maryland, Pennsylvania, anC
New Jersey, were paying

The Boy Scout movement

The Trojans of Southern Cali

tinct hurry-about four deep While
funny things can happen in foot
ball, they look to be the almost
certain pick for the next Rose Bowl
Southern California is beyond any
argument the strong team of the

teams of the country.
This brings up another argu-
ment-which is the strongest team
In football for the season of 1899?
My vote still goes to Tennessee
with two strong teams-just about
the same.
Others, who have seen Michigan,
nominate the Wolverines as the top
squad. :
In the Southwest they look to
Texas A. and NJ, and. a trifle
farther north, there is Oklahoma.
At this point Tennessee, Michi-
gan, Southern California, Cornell,
Oklahoma, Texas A. and M. and
Notre Dame are the teams riding
along the front line.

BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

Brother acts aren't new to Dis
trict college football, but there is
something unique about this family
yarn the chattering keys of our
battered old mill are coughing up.
Something warm and human, the
story Of the Nowaskeys of George
Washington, Art and Bob.
Time was when GeorgetoWn's Jim
Mooney had Hoya supporters bug
eyed and the enemy on the verge
of insanity with his long, booming
punts. Brother Phil played in the
line. Maryland had Frankie and
Johnny duo-the De Armey boys.
Catholic University boasted BROTH
ers in wholesale lots, Tom and John
Nally, Babe and Tom Gearty.
Then there was Joe Meglen,
Georgetown's line-smashing full
back of a few years ago, whose
younger (but equally tough) brother
succeeded to his shoes behind the
line. And Catholic University has
come up with still another family
affair in the brothers Pirro, Carmen
and Rocco.
Bob Nowaskey plays end-as any
George Washington opponent will
admit-and Art is a quarterback.
Beyond the color of their blue
jerseys and family name the SINH
larity ends, for Bob earned all
America recognition last season and
Art merely is reserve. Not merely
another substitute, Coach Bill Rein
hart will have you understand, but
sort of non-playing strategist.
Bob has all of the physical quail
f1cations necessary to be a stand
out. but Art has the football brains
of the family. He lacks, unfortu-
nately, that certain, undefinable
something that makes the differ
ence between great player and a
good one. Reinhart calls him an
other coach, level-headed young
man who knows his football as we'll
as you know your first name.
Art, moreover, is one player in
1000 who knows every mans as
signment on every play. He can
tell you where Billy Richardson
should be at 3:15 Tuesday after
noon or 4 o'clock Saturday. He
has Photographic memory that
snaps bits of information and files
them away in the back of his head
for future reference. Reinhart has
enough confidence in his judgment
and ability to let him handle the
second team when plans call for a
change in tactics and also when
one of the boys needs extra work
in some particular phase of play.
Having him around makes it easier
on Reinhart and "Botchy' Koch, his

Pro-Senior Golf Tilt
Will Draw Smart
Field Thursday

Every year about this time Bob
Barnett, Chevy Chase golf profess
sional, invites all type professional
golfers of this sector to be his guests
in an affair that has taken a high
place among the many links events
held around town. The annual pro-
senior tourney staged by Barnett is
coming up at Chevy Chase Thurs
day and as usual it promises to be
one Of the better Journeys Of the
year.
The Chevy Chase Club has large
proportion of senior golfers, many
of them low scorers. Indeed, after
the tournament last year, some wag
facetiously asked, Who is the pro
and who is the senior?" after look
ing over the scores. But the seniors
do play well.
All the senior partners of the pros
will be drawn from Chevy Chase,
and Barnett asks that all the pro-
fessionals who wish to play will
phone him at the golf shop and
enter. Pairings will be published
before the tournament, If they can
be made before Thursday. All the
contestants will attend luncheon
at Chevy Chase at noon Thursday.
Barnett and Ralph Beach, the lat
ter the prexy Of the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A., will leave Washington
around November 10 for Chicago
to attend the annual meeting of
the National P. G. A.
At this meeting George Jacobus
may sing his swan song as president
of the national body, for George
has wanted to get out for q year or
two. One of the warm moments of
the P. G. A. meeting will come when
the delegates discuss the Denny
Shute imbroglo which enlivened
the national championship this year.
Denny's entry came in late, he was
barred from the tournament and
later was reinstated after some of
his brother pros threatened to with
draw.
Soon after he attends the p. G.
A. meeting in Chicago Barnett will
head for Miami and his winter Job
at the exclusive Indian Creek Club
of Miami Beach.
Leo Walper. former Mid-Atlantic
P. G. A. champ. will point his trailer
South this week, heading for Pine
hurst, where he will be for two
weeks or so, and then move on to-
ward Miami. Leo hopes his injured
thumbs will be well in time to en-
able him to play in the Miami slO,-

Packers Great Work
Gives Some SoIace
To Redskins
Admit They Played Best
Come Of Year; Forkos
Becomes Engaged
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Judging from an admission by one
of the Green Bay Packers after Sum-
days game, the Redskins should be
commended on holding the West
erners to a 10-point margin of vic
tory rather than reproached for a
defeat.
1T was the best game we'd played
all year." one of the Redskins said
Packer told him as the two teams
trudged of the field. I'VE just
couldn't do anything wrong
From the way the Bay player
spoke, his team had a day like the
two the Redskins enjoyed against
the Pirates and Dodgers at Griffith
Stadium when they ran up 40 points
on each.
Should Give Encouragement.
II the Packers were at their best,
then there is little cause for dis
couragement on the part of Wash
ington's professional football colony.
For after the Packers first two
touchdowns, the Redskins played
them on even terms, and, except for
fumbles, might have won. Again, If
the Redskins had had a Hutson,
they'd have waltzed in, for numerous
passes by Sammy Baugh and Frank
Filchock were ingloriously muffed or
missed altogether by their receivers.
Apparently, the Packers had the
Redskins well secuted, for they cor
rectly anticipated most of Coach
Flaherty's pet plays and invariably
were in position to stop them.
Usually Ed Brock, the Bays rookie
center, was found backing up the
center Of the line, but it was he who
intercepted one Of Baugh's passes to
Andy Farkas in the fiat to run So
yards before being nailed from be-
hind. And that's one Redskin play
that usually clicks.
Ed Justice wasn't the only Red
skin to be injured at Milwaukee.
Filchock didn't reveal 1t until after
the game, but his nose was broken
on the opening kickoff. He said
that was nothing new to him as he
had received a similar injury six
previous times.
Hold Workout Today.
With the exception of Andy Far
kas, given a short furlough to get
himself engaged to Ellen Ryan, a
Detroit nurse, who never has seen
him in professional game, all of
the uninjured Redskins worked out
at Griffith Stadium this morning.
Farkas and Miss Ryan won't be
married until after the season ends,
but Andy was to give her the dia-
mond ring during his two-day visit.
If it's any consolation, the Red
skins have succeeded the Chicago
Bears as the leagues leading
ground gaining team. With 2,1O5
yards to their credit in six games,
the Indians show an average of $50
per game, Is a game better than the
Bears. Washington is third in scor-
ing-behind the Bears and Packers
and only the Giants and Detroit
Lions have allowed opponents less
points.

lone assistant, and Art doesn't mind
because he entertains visions Of
coaching career upon graduation.
Equally important is his help in
maintaining morale. Seldom does
one of the squad get too depressed
or overconf1dent within earshot OF
Art, or the culprit hears from him
in a quiet, brotherly way.
Bob has been travelling at a
scorching pace this season, and 1t is
not improbable that he will be re-
membered again when all-America
honors are passed around. Certain
also Is he of a lucrative offer from
a pro club, for the die-for dear old
dough clan has been scouting him
since last season. West Virginia last
year picked him on its all-opponent
team, pairing him with Pitts Daddio.
Mississippi accorded him similar
honors, and the other wingman on
its team was Tennessee's Wyatt.
Reinhart calls Bob one of his best
ball carriers because Of his ground
gaining ability on end-around plays.
His tackling is vicious, teeth-chat-
tering brand that snags the runner
like bear-trap and he's harder to
deceive than a mirror. West Vir-
ginia last season was instructed to
run no plays in his direction during
the second half, after winding up
the first half with net loss of some
30 yards.
Reinhart calls Bob one of the best,
and without detracting from his
praise, adds that Art gets an awfully
important assist in the matter. You
see, Bob has learned as much foot
ball from Art of the field as Rein
hart has been able to teach him
during practice and if you don't
think it helps ask the G. w. mentor.
He'd like to have another squadful
of Art Nowaskeys to keep pounding
football knowledge into the heads of
their kid brothers.

To Clash Of Yale
And Dartmouth
May Outdrow Horvord's
Visit to Princeton;
Both in Good Trim
BY the Associated PrexA

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-The Yale
Dartmouth football series, often the
producer of some of footballs goof-
lest goings-on, is slated this week.
at New Haven, and that means a
big gathering Of footballs super
thrill hunters.
Few football rivalries can match
this series for sheer color, tradi-
tion-or queer happenings. AS a
tribute to the drawing power of
the game 1t probably will be attend
ed by many more Of the Eastern
elite than will see another tradi-
tional classic-the HarvardPrince-
ton clash at Palmer Stadium.
From a strictly football angle 1t
doesn't have any spectacular ap-
peal. But this game is seldom If
ever considered from q strictly foot
ball angle.
Series Started in 1884
The series started of on a
screwy note in 1884, with Yale wal
Looping Dartmouth, 1870. 1t hasn't
let up for a minute since.
AS proof, no one needs go further
back than 1881, when the two teams
battled through a long afternoon
full of every conceivable kind CT
football-and wound up in that
well-remembmered 1898 tie.
In all the years Dartmouth
hadn't won game until 1935-but
then the worm turned with such a
vengeance that since then the Eli
has been able to get only one tie
in 1887.
Dartmouth is certainly more
touchdown conscious than Yale this
year. The Indians started off with
two one-sided shellackings of small
er foes-beating st. Lawrence, 4l-9,
and Hampden-Sydney, 34-6. Then
came a disappointing scoreless tie
with Navy. Later the Green bounced
back against Lafayette. winning
40, and last Saturday Harvard
was vanquished, 1910.
Yale Has Even Break.
Yale has two victories matched
by two defeats. A 10-7 win over
Columbia didn't impress the experts
much. The 60 loss to Penn was not
so bad as 1t might have been. A
2O-15 victory over the Army cheered
the Ellis, but those cheers died out
as soon as Michigan ran roughshod
over the Bulldog, 27-7, as Tom Har-
mon scored 81 points.
Both teams apparently will be in
good shape for the game. At Han
over the word was that Bill Hutch
inson and Capt. Whit Miller, hurt
in the Harvard game, would be
ready for action. And at New Ha-
ven the Yale squad was reported
to have come through the Michigan
massacre in good shape.

The
SPoRTLIGHT
Football Full of Woe
For Big Ten This Fall
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

special correspondent OF Inc 6taT.
NEW YORK, Oct. 81 tN.AN.A0.-
This has been a rather spotty au-
tumn for the Big Ten. Nebraska
has beaten Minnesota. Oklahoma
has crushed Northwestern. South
ern California has wrecked Illinois.
Notre Dame and Santa Clara have
beaten Purdue. Texas has taken
Wisconsin. And now Cornell comes
along to overthrow Ohio State, one
of the main challengers, with Michi-
gan, for the Big Ten title.
Michigan and Harmon alone keep
galloping. Michigan's hardest re-
naming game will be against Ohio
State, where the Wolverine will be
favored after the startling Incidents
that took place in Columbus last
Saturday. For all that, Michigan
will find that Ohio State is no weak
ling in any sense. The big Buckeye
squad packs its full share of power.
Stopping Tom Harmon may be
something else.
Cornell looked to be the pick of
the ivy league when the season
opened, and Cornell still is the top
choice-one of the best teams in
football, no matter where you look.
