Navy, With Backfie|d
Array, Will Stick
To Heavy Line
May Employ II-Toters
In Relays to Keep Up
Pressure on Irish
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 1S.-Navy's
powerful line, averaging 205 pounds,
will start against Notre Dame at
Cleveland Saturday, as it did against
Dartmouth at Baltimore last week,
but the coach, Maj Swede Larson,
has an embarrassment of backfield
wealth.
The line, with the individual
weights. runs from the left as fol-
lows: Hal Hansen, 230: Capt. Al
Bergner, 215; Tom McGrath, 218;
Harold Harwood, 178, center; Bex
Trimble, 200; Dick Opp, 2o5; Lou
Burke, 100.
Lou Mayo, who played such a good
game last week after Emmett Wood
was hurt early in the second quar-
ter and who made the Navy's
longest gains, appears a certain
starter in a wing-back position, but
Cliff Lenz, Bob Leonard and Wesley
Gebert must fight it out for the
other wing berth.
Possibilities at the tail back are
Monty Whitehead and Everett NAL
colin and in the blocking position
Pat Gray, Ed Gillette and Ralph
Boyer.
Plenty of ball-carrying, passing,
punting and blocking backs are in
reserve and it is possible that the
Navy coach may send in relays Of
backs to carry on a maintained
drive against the Irish.
Navy scouts report that Notre
Dame has strong first line but is
far below its usual strength In
reserves.
Wood has not given up hopes of
getting in the Notre Dame game.
The chunky, side-stepping back
sustained a knee injury in the
Dartmouth game, but feels that he
will be in shape by the end of the
week. The doctors, though, will
have the last say.

Thieves Raid Central
Football Equipment

At least nine Central High School
football players were minus some
part of their equipment when they
reported for practice today.
Nine pairs Of shoulder pads, eight
pairs Of hip pads and approximately
the same number of shoes were
taken from the Blues dressing room
before yesterdays practice. The
thieves must have known exactly
what they wanted, for although they
thoroughly ransacked the room,
nothing else was taken.

1t Was lordy, Not Pitt
Thut Defeated Duke
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-(N.A.N.A)
though making no acknowledge
ment, the Pittsburgh football team
borrowed from the book called
'Lardner's Sinister Bag OF Football
Tricks last week, while defeating
Duke by the lopsided score of IA
to 13.
In chapter 5 of this famous
textbook, which has been praised
by Albert Einstein cgreat") and
condemned by Winston Churchill
tlousyD, it says:
When an enemy back is charg-
Ing down the field with the ball in
his hands, and it does not seem
possible to overhaul him, try STRAIT
egy. Confuse him. Hoodwink him.
Cozen him. Blk. diddle, trap,
sWlndle, pluck, chouse, victimize
and beguile him. One good method
is to disguise your voice and yell:
Throw me the ball, quick!'
Acting on blind instinct, the
dupe or gull often will toss the
ball to you, Whereupon you should
fgure out your next move without
loss of time. The best thing to do
I recommend it heartily-is turn
around and run the other way, to-
ward the enemy goal line, with
the object of making what we tech

snapped it up. though neglecting to
give credit to the author of same.
With Duke leading by a score of
to 0 in the second quarter, George
McAfee, the prominent Carolina
triple-threat back and dupe, pro-
ceeded to bust off tackle. He was
moving along at a good clip, with
no Pitt player close enough to lay
a glove, or even a modest wreath,
upon him. when the Pittsburgh end,
John Dickinson, whipped out his
dog-eared copy of "Lardner's Sin
lister Bag of Football Tricks" leafed
hastily through the index and came
upon what he wanted in chapter 3.
Hey, throw it here, McAfee, if
that is indeed your real namei" hol-
Tered Dickinson.
AS forecast, he played upon Nc
Afee's automatic reflex as on a
banj njo-ukulele. The Duke halfback
tossed the ball laterally back to
Dickinson. Having memorized the
passage, it was the work of a mo-
ment for the Pittsburgh end to re-
verse himself and run toward Dukes
end zone.

Was Not Drunk

Whether man under the in

minutes and still revive each time
to talk coherently, furnished the
subject for a brief discourse in
TRAFFIC Court yesterday as Judge
John P. Mcmahon dismissed
charge of driving while drunk

Thursday.
The defendant told the court he
was not drunk, but suffered from
the effects of working around
fluid used in a cleaning plant. He
said he frequently passed out COM
pletely, and such was the case on
the date in question.
In finding him not guilty Of the
charge, Judge Mcmahon said: did
any one ever hear of a case of
drunkenness where a man collapses
and then gets up and talks and then
does the same thing two more times.
I believe this mans story that he
was sick. and I dismiss this charge" ."

Shakeup Of Police
In Prince Georges
Due This Week
Dissatisfaction
Reported Cause Of
Rumored Changes
BY GEORGE w. HURD,
Star StaH Correspondent.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. July
15.-A major shakeup in the Prince
Georges County police force, re-
portedly at the instigation of State S
Attorney H. Winship Wheatley, jr.
is expected to be carried out next
week, 1t was learned today.
Among the changes said to be
under consideration are the trans
fer of Sergt. Ralph w. Brown, now
in charge of the Hyattsville station
to Upper Marlboro to replace Sergt
Elton Turner. commander of the
latter Office, while Sergt. Turner is
slated, according to reports, to sue
ceed Sergt. Brown at Hyattsville
Both officers are popular in the sec
tions where they are now assigned
Meanwhile slot machines of the
type which pay off in cash have
reappeared for the first time in
many months and have been seen
in operation in several places in
the county. They were banned by
Mr.. Wheatley shortly after he took
Office.
Reports of Dissatisfaction.
Although none would permit his
name to be used in connection with
the police shakeup reports, it was
learned the action originated in
county political and official circles
and resulted from dissatisfaction
with "the way things are going"
Mr.. Wheatley refused to confirm
or deny reports he had requested the
Board Of Police Commissioners to
effect the shakeup, but he has COM
planned on several occasions of the
existence of gambling devices, and
several times threatened action
against the notorious Jimmy s
Place" in the Hyattsville area. where
gambling has been carried on for
many years.
While the State Legislature was
passing law making possession of
gambling paraphernalia or numbers
tickets prima facie evidence of guilt
and while the grand jury was in ses-
sion "Jimmy's Place" was closed
Rumors were current that the gam
bling establishment would be moved
to some other part of the State
However, it reopened several weeks
ago.
War on Gambling.
During his campaign for the Office
of states attorney, and since his
election last November, Mr.. Wheat
ley has declared repeatedly his in
tention of breaking up gambling in
the county. On several occasions
he has complained he was not re-
ceiving proper Corporation"
just what other changes in per-
sonnel or moves to bring about the
greater police efficiency" known to
be sought by the Board of County
Commissioners and other officials
are not known, but William A. Car
son, chairman of the county board
and member of the Board of Police
Commissioners has requested Police
Supt. Arthur w. Hepburn to make
a thorough investigation Of condi-
tions.

Is Police Officers
Expected 10 Be
Promoted This Week
Brown Receives List
Of EIigibIes for
Captain, Lieutenant

Promotion of 13 police officers and
transfer of another will take place
this week if sufficient money is pro-
vided by Congress for their main
tenance.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown. superin-
tendent of police, has already been
given a list of eligibles for the posi-
tions of captain and lieutenant by
the Civil Service Commission and
has promised to make his recon-
mendations Tuesday, provided funds
to cover their salaries are forth
coming.
Heading the list of eligibles are
1t. Clarence Talley for captain and
Detective Sergt. Robert Barrett for
lieutenant. Unless Maj. Brown ex-
ercises his prerogative to appoint
some one else-and he is not expect
ed to do so-these men will soon step
into their new jobs.
Another proposed move is to fill
the office of chief and property
clerk with a police officer instead
of a civilian appointee. Maj. Brown
suggested and was given authority
to make this move after expressing
dissatisfaction with the work of
civilian offceholders.
Although nothing official has been
said thus far, it is confidently ex-
pected that Maj. Brown will name
Capt. Arthur E. Miller, chief of the
third precinct. Inspector L. I. H.
Edwards, assistant superintendent,
has been holding the job since last
fall, when a civilian clerk was asked
to resign following an investigation.
Transfer Of Capt. Miller and the
two promotions are expected to be
acted on by the Commissioners
Tuesday.
Eleven -clothesmen are to be
elevated to the rank of detective
sergeant as soon as recommended
for advancement by Chief of Detec-
tive Bernard w. Thompson. IN
spector Thompson is expected to
select the men from among his pre-
cinct detectives some time this week.
