who was waiting for bus. He got
in my car and said he was only
going to the hotel two blocks away
but the blocks were all up hill and
his doctor had told him not to walk
up hill so he was going to ride on

if he avoided all hills it would save
his heart pumping fifty miles of

George Washington High and

return to local competition after
more than a month of playing Vir-
GINA Glass A elevenS. Game time is
o'clock.
In five games against conference
foes, the Presidents lost all but one,
defeating Lane at Charlottesville last
week to lift themselves from the loop
cellar. That string Of defeats, though,
gives no true indication of G. WIS
strength as compared to Washington
elevens, Alexandria supporters claim
as Class A competition generally is
somewhat stronger than that to be
found in and around the District
A better idea of where the Presi-
dents should rate will be given to-
night since in meeting Gonzaga they
stack up against one Of the strongest
schoolboy elevens in Washington.
The Eagles have gone undefeated
since their opening game against
Central, 6-6 tie with st. Johns
being all approaching a setback
recently.
Presidents Smooth Air Play.
c.. w. has prepared strong pass
ing attack during the last month
and probably will rely on it to a
great extent. Heaves by Ed Hanback,
and Howard Shelton directly we're
responsible for the two touchdowns
which defeated Lane last week and
these two lads will be III there
singing again tonight.
Gonzaga's attack probably will be
built around Elmer Raba, plunging-
passing halfback whose work against
st. Johns and Tech in recent games
has stamped him as one of the out
standing schoolboy players in WASH
ington.'
The Presidents are pointing now
for their big Thanksgiving Day
game with Westinghouse and
should they defeat or make a good
showing against Gonzaga they will
earn a much better rating for that
game. AS it stands. G. w. isn't so
much of an underdog. The Generals

Press Box
Michigan Is Expected
To Nose Out Gophers
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (N.A.N.A0.-
When was first getting started as
minstrel as the sweet singer of
football-when set my foot or the
ladder of the lyrical racket, so to
speak-the poet Longfellow took me
aside and gave me few tips.
For a punk, you seem to have the
gift" said Waddie Eve called him
Waddie) but you ought to stay out
of those barbershops. Long hair
is the symbol of the poet. Look at
me-"
I looked at Waddie, and went
right on getting haircuts. I realize
that a true poet should strive for
considerable longitude in his Golf
fure, for volume in his bangs, but
there is such a thing as carrying
a thing too far.
Many budding troubadours have
written in to ask me how I stand
on this matter of long hair for
poets. I'll tell you. I believe a free
verse poet should run a little longer
than one Of us true-blue rhymers.
1 generally recommend about Z
inches from the follicle to the tip
for free verse poet. Naturally,
you cannot part a finch head of
hair, but what the blazes does a
free verse man want with a part?

BY HERB BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Editor


NEW YORK, Nov. Stalking an
other crack at the football guessing
game with no money refunded
cheerfully or otherwise:
Minnesota Michigan - Might de-
eide the Western Conference title
in this one, particularly If Mime
sofa wins. No unbeaten team in
the land has waded through quite
such a schedule as the Gophers.
They must hold Tommy Harmon
within reasonable bounds to get by
indicated Michigan, which, in
turn, will have to keep sharp watch
on Bruce Smith and George Franck.
By the toss of coin, Minnesota.
Southern Methodist Texas A. and
M.-The Mustangs are plenty tough
and might break Texas A. and M. S
long string, but this corner prefers
to string along with the AggieS.
Stanford-Washington-This thing
gets worse the longer it goes. STAN
ford's unbeaten and Washington
would be, too, except for its opening
game with powerful Minnesota.
Maybe this is where the Indians get
off, but we'll tag along with STAN
lord to the bitter end.
Practice for Cornell.
Cornell-Yale-Should be practice
for the big Red. Cornell.
Fordham-Purdue - The Boiler
makers are unlucky and Mike Bye
lene may not be in shape for much
service, influencing this vote for
Fordham.
Columbia Wisconsin - What do
you do in case like this? Can't
tell what Wisconsin is going to do
next. In a deep fog, Wisconsin.
Navy-Notre Dame-Navy'S strong,
but the Tars can't seem to make
their power pay off. Taking Notre
Dame on the theory the Irish can't
be as bad as they looked last week.
Alabama -Tulane-It's Just as risky
now TO pick against Tulane as it
was to pick the Green Wave earlier
in the season. This looks a real
tuSsle. Out Of the hat, Alabama.
Penn Harvard - The Crimson
seems to be on the upgrade, but
Penn must be the choice.
Princeton Dartmouth - Taking
Princeton, despite the Tigers lack
of a running attack.
Doubtful Vote for Army.
Army -Brown-Very tough 10 fig
ure. The Cadets hardly can be
counted on to hit the same peak
they did for Notre Dame. A doubt
full vote for Army.
Holy Mississippi - Doesn't
seem to be much hope for Holy
Cross here. Mississippi.
Manhattan Marquette - Taking
Manhattan.
Northwestern Illinois-Looks safe
for Northwestern.
Nebraska Iowa - Nebraska really
is tough and gets this vote.
Detroit Texas Christian - Each
lost to Tulsa by a TOUCHDOWN. which
is no help to this guesser. BY the
coin, Detroit.
Indiana Michigan State-An ex-
tremely shaky vote for Michigan
State.
Auburn Clemson-And one of the
same kind for Auburn.
Florida Georgia - The Bulldogs
are moving along. Georgia.
Kentucky Georgia Tech - Tech
seems to have collapsed. Kentucky.

ST. llae fox was of from s35.s9 to S29.Oo. There was a siish increase in the values O lynx, beaver, musirat and mar ten pels but moi enough to off sci the general slump which took place in the worlds fur market.
 From a conservation stand point, the Game Commission not ed a healthy condition in that the number of all kinds of pelts ship ped from the Territory was the largest for several years, a grand total of 554,725 peltries as against 423,1 peltries for the previous calendar year. The muskrat catch increased from 291, ,140 in 1888 to 417,442 in 1889. Ship ments of mink pelts increased from 39,866 in 1888 to 42,883 in 1889. Reds and cross fox ship ments were up from 17,262 in 1888 to 23.644 in l939 Another important gain was made in the Arctic white foxes which have been at low for several years. The catch increased from 3,519 in 1928 to 4,187 during the past year.
