ROME, March 4.-Virginio Gayda,
editorial spokesman for the Fascist
regime. today linked Poland's CO.
lonial claims with those of Italy
and Germany, asserting these three
nations were better fitted than
Britain or France to maintain
colonies because their labor supply
was greater.
Gayda's comments were interpreted
here as confirming earlier reports
that one of the objects of the
February Bismarck l visit to War
saw of Count Galeazzo Ciano. Ital-
ian Foreign Minister was to build
a solid front for an Italian-German-
Polish colonial campaign.

After asserting that Poland's de-
mands for colonies soon will be
announced" Gayda said:
"A vital and authentic means of
holding colonies, civilizing them and
justifying their possession is that

colonization. Colonies today are all
in an agricultural stage. They re-
quire the labor of farmers

Italy, Germany and Poland can
furnished this labor. Great Britain
and France cannot. Colonies also
require prolific peoples. Italy and
Germany have fecund birth rate.
Great Britain and, above all, France

Gayda said Britain's Mediter-
ranean colonies often had been

Great Britain" he wrote, 'has

to be established today by the AL

Nobody more fully appreciates the
wisdom of the old coaching axiom
that to disregard a football player
is to encourage indifference and in

Catholic University's able line coach
and a product of the late Knute
Rockne's earliest days at Notre
Dame. It was the canny Swede
who instilled that lesson in Fod one
unforgettable afternoon in New York
upon the occasion Of the annual
Notre Dame-Army duel.
Cotton was q senior tackle, the
lone veteran in a powerful line that
had stood up we'll throughout the
season, but continually threatened

perience and occasional attacks Of

returned to their dressing room at
the half after outplaying Army by
a slight margin and with a slender
lead.
TRADE AstOunds Cotton.
When Rockne took the floor for
his customary pep talk, he poured
forth a lavish stream of praise for
his rockies, taking them in turn
and extolling their virtues at length.
Great blocking-the best charging
he'd seen all season, so smooth, even
and aggressive. Brilliant end play
and better work at center. But at

Good heavens, Cotton" he
stormed, cant you hold up your end

Army from running over top of you
every time they hit your side of the

Anacostia Grid Coach
Optimistic Despite
Loss 10 Alumni
Lund Believes indians
Should Hold Own in
Interhieh Series

Anacostia Highs ambitious grid
men smarted under the sting Of a
1910 setback at the hands of an
alumni eleven today, but Coach
Roland Lund refused to share his
prodigies' pessimism and foresaw a
fighting chance for the Indians to
hold their own in the interhigh
series this season.
A blocked kick, Mcknight recov-
ering for the grads, and Bob Cor
don's 4o-yard gallop and succeed
ing 7-yard line plunge for touch
down. led to the Southeastern
teams downfall yesterday, but
while his boys brooded over defeat
Lund regarded it as a good omen.
In the first place, he reasoned.
the scoring plays revealed a gaping
weakness in Anacostias defensive
setup and secondly the contest re-
vealed that the team has offensive
power, even though it failed to
make a score. Lund was to begin
correcting the defensive faults this
afternoon and will continue his ef-
forts to iron out the offensive kinks.
The Indians hopes were dealt a
severe blow by the loss of Bob
Gordon, quarterback; Perry Sea-
man, halfback, and Bill Duvall, an
end-all of whom are ineligible be-
cause of a 19year age limit on high
school athletics, but Lund believes
the squad will survive this blow
and still come through. The trio
played against their former team
mates yesterday and were largely
responsible for the varsity's defeat.
Lund started his second team
yesterday to give the boys much
badly needed experience but sent in
the regulars when the alumni
threatened to make a rout of it.

Late Charging Blamed
For Redskins Poor
Start in Games
FIoherty Says Team 0. K.
Against Eagles When
FuuIt Was Remedied
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

What happened to the Redskin
line at the start of last Sundays
game in Philadelphia. when 1t
seemed that the only thing that
could stop the Eagles was the ref
eree's whistle?
Coach Ray Flaherty says: I'VE
were being outcharged. AS soon as
our players started charging at the
instant the ball was snapped we got
back in the game and didn't have
any more trouble"
Be that as it may. the start Of
the Indians first National League
game was only slightly different
from that of their three preseason
exhibitions, for without exception
the opposition got the jump on the
Marshallmen. The only difference
was that in the exhibition games
the enemy sustained its advantage
until scoring touchdown, whereas
last Sunday the Eagles attack ended
in a tumble 18 yards from the
Washington goal.
A logical explanation is that Red
skin rockies are to be found at
tackle and guard, and it takes them
a while to catch on to the oppos-
ing players style. AS a matter of
fact, the Redskin veterans will tell
you that the Eagles play the most
morthodox football in the league.
But it was nothing new to the
Indians to be pushed around so un-
tremendously as they were in Phil
ly. Buck Shaw's All-Stars recovered
tumble and scored the opening
touchdown at San Francisco, the
Bulldogs ran right through em for
points week later at Los Angeles
and the Eastern All-Stars scored in
the first few minutes at Boston.
The only thing liable to be ham,
mered constantly into Redskin ears
for the next II days, however. is
that the All-Stars and the Bull
dogs-and even the Eagles-are not
the New York Giants.

Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 20.-Maj. En-
cry Larson, beginning his first sea-
son as Navy's head football coach,
lost no time in picking tentative
varsity. This team is, Of course,
subject to change as the season and
the players develop.
The first varsity, with weights Of
players, follows:
Heft in Navy Line.
Left end, Hal HeS son, 230; left
tackle, Al Bergner (captainD. 220;
left guard, Tom McGrath. 218; CEN
ter, Hal Harwood, 178; right guard,
Bex Trimble, 200; right tackle, Dick

100; quarterback, Ed Gillette, 1885;
left half, Emmett Wood, ITS; right
half, Monty Whitehead, ITS; full
back, Cliff Lenz, 1873.
1t will be noted that five of the
forwards weigh 200 pounds or more.
Harwood, at center. is the 1'+''e n
of this tremendous line, but an.
other 200-pounder, Ed Sims, W.lo
had a year as center at Georgia
Tech, is likely to be in the lineup
much Of the time. With Harwood
at center, the average of this line
is 206 4/7 pounds, and with Sims
at this spot, the average is 209 SO,
undoubtedly the heftiest line .
Navy team ever has had.
Scrimmages Started Early.
Larson also has had his charges
scrimmaging promptly. The first
of these, against Squad B, was just
a week after the opening of prac-
tice. Next Saturday the varsity
will scrimmage against the power
full and promising plebe team Of
this year, the practice to be con-
Quoted strictly under match con-
ditions.
During practices up to this time.
Maj. Larson usually has entrusted
the active direction of the varsity
during scrimmage to Rip Miller
and Keith Molesworth, line and
backfield coaches respectively, and
has given his personal attention
to the brushes between the teams
of reserves.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Since the
football season is at hand again, re-
member little Davey O'Brien, Mar
shall (Biggie) Goldberg, Parker
(BulleD Hall and Johnny Pingel?
They made up the all-America
backf1eld last fall, and they'll prob
ably be heard of again as heroes of
-for-pay football. But unless
you follow the fortunes of the pros,
its likely you'll only see their names
this fall prefaced by "as good as" or
some similar comparative phrase.
There's new crop of all-Americas
In the making. The college press
agent who hasn't candidate, usual
ly with a colorful nickname, is as
rare as college coach without an
alibi. So you'll see and hear new
names in place of that familiar
quartet and the fellows who pressed
them for top honors last fall-Bullet
Billy Patterson, Sid Luckman, Vic
Bottari, Bronco Drummer, Bob Mac
Leod and Howie Weiss, to name a
few.
Boosting Starts Early.
There's no use even trying, at this
stage, to pick the rising stars, but
there are plenty of hints as the press
. releases roll in.
No doubt, you'll hear lot this fall
about Len Eshmont, who as Ford
ham sophomore last year carried the
extra weight of such names as the
Rambling Ram" and the Atlas
Antelope
Then Columbia offers Les STAN
czyk, third of his clan to play for
the Lions, as the lad who'll make
Eastern fans forget Sid Luckman's
passing The relayed words of one
observer are "he cuts like Cliff Mont
gomery and runs with all the power
of AL Barabas."
Texas Christian already has
picked the halfback to fill OBrien's
shoes. He's Jack Odle, hailed as
being better than Davey or Sammy
Baugh were at the same stage of
their careers. Pitt has some good
backs, but not another Goldberg. 1t
seems unlikely Michigan State will
produce another Pingel or "Ole
Miss" another Hall, although Merle
Hapes is trying his best at the latter
Job.
Bears Have Their Smith.
California boosters modestly admit
Long Louie" Smith will be the best
all-around halfback on the Pacific
Coast this year and a worthy sue
cessor to Bottari and Sam Chap
man Kansas State fans are prais-
ing Elmer "One Man Gang" Hack
ney, the record smashing shotput-
ter to the skies.
Some of the others who may catch
the fancy of the fans-with d little
urging, of course-are "Bolo" Per-
due, the Duke end, or Capt. Allen
tSweet Pea Johnson; Big John
McLaughry of Brown, Bomber" Bill
Hutchinson of Dartmouth, Harold
Van Every of Minnesota, Jim
CSweet) Lalanne of North Carolina,
or maybe one of that Notre Dame
gang, Bob Saggau, Lou Zontini or
Capt. John Francis Kelly.
Perhaps the saddest situation is
found down at New Mexico, where
last year they called Bill Dwyer "the
Desert Wherewolf" and hailed him
as one of the country's best backs.
The report merely says three men
are being groomed to take Dryers
