ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 10.-Injuries to
Wes Gebert, sensational rookie back,
and Frenchy Durette, one Of Coach
Swede Larson's dwindling roll Of
ends, made Nays 14-12 victory
over Virginia costly.
Coach Swede Larson today said
that Durette and Gebert were in
sick bay. The loss of Durette, one
of Larson's dwindling end supply,
was occasioned by back and inter-
nal injuries Of undetermined ex-
tent. The Frenchman may be out
for the season.
Gebert was not so seriously hurt,
tearing q muscle in his left leg, but
the Navy skipper said Gebert prob
ably would not play against Dart

fire will be missed against the In

down Saturday to put the Tars back
in the ball game and generally
spanked the squad with his cute
stepping.

Teams Loaded and Ready,
But Reody for What?

Frankly, friends. the publics guess
on the weeks football games is as
good as that of any printed expert
now in business. The experts have
pretty good information, to be sure.
A coach will tell us confdentially
that his football team is loaded and
ready and he is probably right But
ready for what? An undefeated sea-
son? That doesn't happen any more
except in lucky and isolated cases.
The good teams-and I mean good
ones-must settle for two or three
defeats. And who knows where
those defeats will come in an eight
or nine game schedule? Not the
coach. Not the team. Not you. Not
me
Ten years ago the prognosticator
who could not average better than

head. Today. as I told the members

Public Backs Pearce' ,
Night Game Policy
For Schools
Aid to Grid Sport Seen
II Authorities Adopt
Central Cooch's Plan
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

A tough Texan with q jaw which
seems to have been chiseled from
concrete, . penchant for making
friends and dogged determination
to see q job well done. has revived
local scholastic football. Today he
had launched another era in school
boy football here and it's so success
full he finally may obtain a little aid.
His name is Hardy Pearce, the
Central High School coach, who
chiefly was responsible for 10000 Gus
toners pouring into Grifnth Sta
dunn last night to view his team
wallop st. Johns, 27-7. If they'll
let him alone he'll continue to click.
Pearce scheduled the Central-St.
Johns game for night without know
ing whether he even could snatch a
candle for illumination. If worse
came to worst, he planned to install
temporary lights at Central Stadium
for the engagement, but 1t wasn't
necessary.
Boost for Sport Here.
That lamplight struggle was an
important step for scholastic sports
here. bold venture which surpassed
even Pearce's fondest expectations
and paved the way toward greater
things in the high school athletic
realm.
Now Pearce visions q steady sue
cession of night games next year at
Central Stadium. Birch E. Bayh,
director of the local scholastic sports
setup, has indorsed Pearce's move
and between them they probably
will be able to convince the Board Of
Principals they're working in the
right direction.
More than victory or defeat for
his team hinged on that Central-St.
Johns tiff for Pearce. for a mediocre
turnout. unsportsmanlike conduct by
players or fans or most any disturb
ing item would have served to
shackle his scheme.
Biggest Crowd Since 1885.
Instead. the game enticed the
largest crowd to witness schoolboy
game here since Central defeated
an all-star scholastic team from
Mexico in 1885. How cleanly the
game was played is reflected in the
fact that not even one penalty was
called. There was plenty of en-
thusiasm in the stands, but it was
wholesome.
Pearce is doing things in big
league style. Central. for instance,
has a press agent. Coaching foot
ball and track there since 1894,
Pearce has captured championship
in at least one sport every year and
meanwhile has discovered time to
promote scholastic Sports back to
the high level they once enjoyed.
His football teams have compiled
an amazing record. losing only two
engagements in the last four years.
He isn't inclined toward pessimism
and that may be the secret of his
success.
Proves Arc Game Desirable.
Speaking at the Football Writer'S
luncheon yesterday. Pearce admitted
he had at least three boys who are
destined to star in college. Il have
the best backfields I've ever had"
continued Hardy. Pearce, incident
ally, was the first figure connected
with schoolboy sports ever to attend
the weekly confab.
He has hurdled obstacles which
appeared insurmountable, for the
red tape blocking his path would
have wrapped Washington's Christ
mas purchases last year. Now,
though, he has proved night scholas-
tic football is desirable and has
opened an avenue of revenue for all
local schools.

She stated public opinion was
ceasing to expect labor to act as q
commodity" but rather "as what 1t
is," group Of human beings.
Asked about the possibility of q
paralyzing Nation wide strike re-
sulting from a labor employer dead
lock such as the recent crisis in
the coal industry, Secretary Per-
kins said the fact that no such
general strike had resulted was
the best answer.

cent in District workmen's compen-
sation insurance rates for the year
beginning July l has been an
nounced by j. Balch Moor, superin-
tendent Of insurance. The reductions
in various classif1cations are based
upon losses sustained during the

est period for which complete fig
ures are available, Mr.. Moors said.
The largest reduction will be in
the carpentry classification-from
$6.25 to $5.55 per 500 annual pay

| f1t through sizable cuts.
