Attention, John Herrick,
Assistant to the Commissioner,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
am in receipt of office letter OF
October 81 and I want to answer
same paragraph for paragraph as
l have been informed that your let
tor is being printed and broadcast
with no opportunity given the
council to defend itself or its act
ions.
Paragraph (1) This account has
been paid in fun - of this more la
ter as the hour is late and details
can follow. if you don't know al
ready.
Paragraph (2) Your statements
are admitted Thru overwork, our
small office force was unable to
post tribal books as should have
been done. However, am taking
them over Immediately and can as
sure you that they shall form now
on be kept up to the minute.
Paragraph (3) This pertains to
disbursements and reports from tri-
bal officials. The present council
have merely followed the methods
of the proceeding Council - such
procedure has now been done a.
way with.
Paragraph (4 Tribal payroll of
S835 per month which you think is
excessive. 1 would request that you
check back on your records and you
will note by Biackfeet Council min
utes that the old Council pay roll
was hitting around $1,000 a month
for months at time and absolutely
no objection from Washington. You
will note that the following en-
ployees were listed with salaries
ranging from 500 to Sl66.66 per
month. A. E. Armstrong, John Hun
sberger, Nancy Goss, Jesse Brown,
L. T. Aubrey, John Tatsey, James
Fisher and Leo Kennerly. The de-
partment gave them a budget of
around $4,000 per year and every
thing was OK, but with the pres
ent Council a cold shoulder was
shown and we had to pay our own
way. In order to freshen up your
memory, would request that you
gladly PD erp- aarap
refer to the correspondence be-
tween your office and myself as
chairman on this very subject and
to which your office never replied!
If unable to locate this correspond
ence, will gladly furnish you the
necessary copies. It is an admitted
fact that the work in the tribal Of
flee and in the Council has doubled
or probably quadrupled during the
past two years - the rehabilitation
program in itself requires more
work than all the work performed
in earlier years and it is being done
for less money as the records plain
ly show.
Paragraph (5) The first three
parties mentioned have paid their
claims in full The Harvey William
son loan - all can say is that this
loan was made in good faith and is
being repaid. With an oil income
of approximately $500 a month,
this loan should be good. The John
Bessie Wren loan - they appeared
before the Council and stated. that
they were about to lose a valuable

Recruit Guard; 33

Release of Steve Uhrinyak. rookie
lineman from Franklin and Mar
shall College, was announced last
night by the Washington Redskins.
Although touted by Army as the
best guard it faced last year, the
big fellow, converted into a tackle
by Coach Ray Flaherty, appeared
a little too green for National Foot
ball League competition and he was
waived on by all nine other clubs.
Uhrinyak rejected a job the Red
skins arranged for him with the
st. Louis Gunners. stating he pre-
ferred to remain in the East. He
hopes to sign with some professional
team in this section.
His departure left the Indians
with 80 players, the quota for their
first two league games. Three more

Giants, Lions, Packer!
Picked by F|aherty
As Winners TODAY
Figures O'Brien to Gain
More on Ground Than
Through Passing
BY RAY FLAHERTY,
Coach. ashineton Redskins

The New York Giants, the Detroit
Lions, the Green Bay Packers and
the Chicago Cardinals-they're the
teams I like in today's National
Football Leagues games with the
Philadelphia Eagles, Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Taking them one by one, they
should go something like this.
New York Philadelphia: The
Giants should win by two touch
downs. Although the Eagles are q
much-improved team, Davey O'Brien
is going to have tough time COM
pleting those fiat passes, especially
against the Giants 5-man line. With
that defense. the Giants keep three
men as line backers-up and they'll
be waiting for those passes all after
noon. AS matter of fact, look
for Davey to make more yardage
running the ball than passing it,
but the Giants just have too much
manpoWer. know that if Phila-
delphia's first team could play-and
keep fresh-throughout, it would
give any team in the league a bat
tie, but reserve strength is going to
prove the deciding factor against the
Eagles lot Of times this year.
incidentally, I'm going to see this
game today and tomorrow will give
Star readers the low-doWn on how
the Giants look.
Brooklyn-Detroit: This should be
very interesting game and offers
the first comparison between the
Eastern and Western divisions. Al
though the Dodgers are much
stronger, I regard the Lions as slight
favorites, especially as the game IS
being played at Detroit.
Chicago Bears-Green Bay: This
Is due to be another close one for
these two teams are two of the oldest
traditional rivals in the league and
their games always are dog fights.
The Bears have some great new
backs to offer in Osmanski, Luck
man and Patterson, but the game is
being played at Green Bay and once
again III stick with the home team.
Chicago Cardinals Pittsburgh: Al
though I've seen the Pirates play
and know them to be much better
outfit than last year I pick the
Cards. They showed signs of real
strength against both Detroit and
Green Bay and lost to each only
after hard, tough games. The Pack
ers, you'll recall, beat them only
14-10 last Sunday and I don't think
it's in the books for the Cards to
lose three straight.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Sept. 23.-
North Carolina's fast steppers, aided
by threatening aerial attack, ran
rough shod over the Citadel to
50-to-0 victory in the football opener
for both elevens this afternoon.
A crowd of 26,O0O, including more
than 10000 high school students
here as guests of the university, was
brought to its feet on North Caro-
lina's first offensive play when
speedy George Stirnweiss beautifully
raced 81 yards to a touchdown.
The game was less than three
minutes underway when Stirnweiss
streaked away and before the first
half ended he and his understudy,
Jim tSweeD Lalanne, had spanked
the Tar Heels to Al points.
The Citadels light brigade fought
valiantly, but the Cadets were able
to muster but three first downs

Gillette Stands Out
As Virginia Trims
Hampden-Sydney
By the Associated Press.


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Sept.
23.-Virginia's football eleven, her.
aided as the most assuring Cavalier
squad in two decades, crushed an in
trepid but outclassed Hampden-Syd-
ney College team. 26 to 0, today. A
crowd of 1000 turned out for the
seasons opener.
Co-captain Jim Gillette of Court
land. flashy triple-threat back,
scored three of the Virginia touch
downs, twice crossing the goal line
standing up.
Mosby Cardozo. Richmond junior,
tailed the Cavaliers final touch
down.
Little Bill Dudley of Bluefeld,
who gave spectacular broken field
running exhibition in his debut on
the Virginia varsity, place-kicked
two extra points.
Coach Frank Murray worked his
first stringers less than half of the
contest, using Two other eleVenS IN
frequent substitution. The Virginia
replacements made a good showing,
especially tall Sophomore Back
Howard Goodwin, who did some
nice kicking and broken field run
ming.
Gillette was the star of the show,
however, and proved almost un-
stoppable the few times he lugged
the ball. A Tiger tumble set up
the first touchdown a few minutes
after the game opened with Tabb
George, veteran Cavalier end, re-
covering on the Hampden-Sydney 10.
Gillette needed only one try, a
perfectly executed reverse, to cross
the touchdown stripe.

Redskins Bosses Plan
To Scout New York
In Eagle Game
FIoherty, Marshall on
Two-Mon Expedition;
Three Other Comes
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

His first and only look at the
Giants before sending the Redskins
against them a week from today
will be taken by Coach Ray Flah-
erty this afternoon when he forms a
two-man scouting expedition to
Philadelphia with Owner George
Marshall.
Returning the call of Coach Steve
Owens, who dropped in on the Red
skins scalping of the Eagles last
Sunday, Flaherty thus will give
himself the chance to be encour-
aged or discouraged by what takes
place in Municipal Stadium.
Against the Eagles, the Indians
did what no other National League
team has done in six games-hold
the opposition scoreless. On the
other hand, no other winning team
has scored less than two touch
downs, twice as many as the Red
skins tailed at Philadelphia.
Sees Tough Going for Giants.
So Flaherty's going up not only
to get a line on the Giants but to
determine for himself whether the
Eagles are better than generally
reckoned or the Redskins weaker
than he's had reason to believe
Even If the New Workers encounter
as much trouble winning as the
Indians did, Flaherty may not see
much to help him, as his team used
only a dozen plays in bagging the
victory and the Giants cannot be
expected to use many more.
incidentally. If the Giants can
duplicate the Redskins victory over
the Eagles. they will enter next
Sundays big game here at Griffith
Stadium on even terms with their
traditional rivals. Naturally, they
are the favorites today, but most
of the Redskins expect the Giants
to have just as hard a time as the
Redskins had in subduing Davey
O'Brian & Co.
Attendance Record Looms.
Whatever the outcome, Philadel-
phia should be on its way to a new
attendance record for a professional
season after today's game. AL
though last Sundays turnout for
the Redskins game was surpassed
decade ago when Red Grange play
ed in Philadelphia, the combined
total OF five games this year should
establish new high for the Eagles.
While the Redskins are enjoying
their last of-day of the 1899 season
three other games in addition to
the Giant-Eagle contest may result
in wholesale scrambling of stand
ings in both the Eastern and West
ern divisions.
Dodgers Prestige Sound.
Probably of most interest, to east
ern fans at least, will be the out
come Of Brooklyn's game with the
Lions. In preseason gossip, the
Dodgers have been rated right along
with the Giants as possessing cham
pionship caliber and they have
done nothing to weaken that con-
sideration by winning their first
two games. Having grabbed some of
last years most promising college
seniors in the draft, the Dodgers
followed up their opening 1877 VIC
tory over Pittsburgh by bowling over
the Cleveland Rams. 1912, last
Wednesday night. If they can hand
the Lions their first defeat, they'll
be tough to beat from then on.
The first meeting of those old
rivals, the Bears and the Packers,
takes place at Green Bay while
either the Cardinals or the Pirates
will gain their first victory at Pitts
burgh.
The standings and today's sched-
ule:
