6eIOIe q larger crOWQ than at
tends the average college football
game and probably one far larger
than they ever had played to before,
the Warwick A. c. and District ALI
Stars battled to 90 tie at Catholic
University yesterday in a game de-
voted 100 per cent to charity.
Despite the post-season fray was
played more than a month after the
local grid season had ended, nearly
5000 laid it on the line with the
dual result of aiding the Washing
ton Society for the Blind and seeing
bang-up game.
Because even more aiders Of the
worthy cause bought tickets but
did not attend the game, it was esti-
mated that approximately 81 500 will
be turned over to the society. The
money will be used to erect news
stands to be operated by the blind in

Whistle Halts Goal Try.
Entering into the game with al
the enthusiasm of couple of team
battling for championship, and in
spired by partisan supporters on op-
posite sides of the field, the War
wicks and Stars waged a ding-dong
battle in which scoring opportuni-
ties were few and far between. The
20-yard lines were penetrated only
four times during the game, with
the Charley Malone-coached War
wicks entering pay dirt three times.
The final whistle cut short what
would have been the games only
field goal attempt, for Left End
Jennison of the Warwicks had dis
carded his helmet preparatory to
boot from the 12-yard line. But
Head Linesman Joe Meglen's game
ending whistle sounded before the
teams could line up for the play.
A great catch by the same Jenni-
son seconds before had put his team
in the closest scoring position OF
the day for he had managed to snae
Prater's pass on the Stars 8, while
a trio of Stars vainly attempted to
prevent him. The Warwicks might
have driven for touchdown had

later from placement.
Stars Halted at IL.
The Stars, gathered from half
dozen of the city's leading inde-
pendent teams and welded into a
smooth-working combination by
former C. U. Athlete John jan
kowski. got almost as far as the
WarWickS on one occasion, when
they reached their opponents IL.
But after Charley Callas recovered
a punt that Safety Man Hill couldn't
hold after catching on his own S the
Warwicks braced and four plays
later regained possession on their r.
The Warwicks' other two scoring
threats came at the beginning of
each half. Shortly after the open
ing kickoff they recovered a Star
tumble on the Stars 80, but John
Dell 'Erbe intercepted a pass on his
own 10 to quell the threat. In the
third quarter, after the Stars had
been penalized to their 10, short
kick left the Warwicks holding the
ball on the Stars 38. Hill crashed
off right tackle for 5 and on a
reverse raced to the 81, but four
attempts yielded only a yard. and it
was the Stars ball.
Payne's Kicks Aid Warwicks.
Ed Kilby and Gus Basilko of the
Stars were singled out by Coach
Jankowski for special praise after
the game. 1t was largely the kick
ing of Les Payne that kept War
wick in the Stars territory most
of the game.
A side feature was the play of 33-
year -old Tackle Carl Petit Of the
Warwicks. Petit, the father of sew
eral children, played for Eastern
High School in 1921, but seemed just
as much at home on the gridiron
yesterday as he did almost a score
of wears ago.
