BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

One of our pet fancleS has been
shattered, and our buildup OF ha-
tired toward the Chicago Bears has
received a sudden check. For Turk
Edwards, who should know, says
faint true what they say about
the Bears being an especially
dirty team.
Now we, along with many others,
always have conceived the Bears
to be Just about the toughest, tough
est football aggregation that ever
backed up its glares with fists.
Indeed. it's been alleged that they
were practitioners OF every sort OF
mayhem known to the gridiron.
But what's this Turks saying?
"Aw, the Bears aren't an espe-
cially dirty team" says the Red
skins captain and assistant coach,
who's played against them eight
times during his eight-year tenure
in the National Football League.
They're just big and rough. But,
after all, footballs no game for
softly.
Public Misjudges Bruins.
Sure you'll find a couple OF their
guys aren't above swinging at an
opponent on the least provocatlon
but you'll find those kind on any
team. But on the whole the
Bears abide by the rules.
People gain the wrong slant on
them when they get glimpse OF
their size. Guys like 270-pound
Moose Musso, 285-pound Jack Tor
rance IL. S. US former decath-
loner. 230-pound Joe Stydahar
and 233- pound Ed holman. for in
stance. But, remember, we're not
exactly a small team ourselves, yet
there aren't many who regard the
Redskins as a tough bunch OF
hombres."
Stydahar, in Edwards estimation,
is lust about one of the finest tackles
pro football ever has had. This Is
the ex-West Virginia stars fifth year
in the league and he's been au-loop
tackle four times. Standing feet 3
Stydahar's been a pain to the Red
skins both times they've played him
since becoming Washington team
in the championship playo1 in 1887
and in a regular game the following
season. Undoubtedly he's the best
of the Bear Gnemen.
Danny Fortmann, all-league guard
the last two years, is the Bears best
guard and, according to Edwards,
much on the order of Zuzu Stewart,
George Washington University'S out
standing lineman of nearly decade
ago. "Danny's liable to play all over
the field" explains Turk, land usual
ly is found everywhere except at his
own position. He's not exactly a
grandstand player, but spectators
can't help noticing him."
Musso, the 29-year-old 7-year
veteran from little Millikin of De-
catur, ILL.,, is one year shy of Fort
mann's all-league record, but he
gives the Bears the best guard COM
bination in the circuit.
Spotlight on Clyde Turner.
But undoubtedly the Chibear line
man who will attract most atten-

Bulls Conceded Biq
Edge Over Dewitt in
Gridiron Feud
Prep Schools to Meet
Friday; Underdoes'
Morale Is High
BY GEORGE HUBER.

The big football battle of prep
schools will take place Friday at
Griffith Stadium when Bulls and
Dewitt meet at 2:30 pm.
Bulls goes into he game an out
standing favorite. In recent years
it has been forced to play out-of-
town teams for worthy competition.
And at that 1t has swept almost
everything before it, losing only to
the Navy Plebes two weeks ago and
to Massanutten Military a week
prior.
Among it's victims are Blackstone
Military, Mount ST. Marys Fresh
men and American U. Freshmen, all
beaten by one-sided scores. Dewitt,
on the other hand. has won only one
game-beating National Training
School last week, 34-0-although 1t
did tie Woodrow Wilson and
Anacostia.
Shows Steady improvement.
Since its first game, though, it has
shown almost constant improve
ment and two weeks ago 1t lost to
Mount st. Marys by only one touch
down. O-6. Bulls, incidentally, sank
the Mount frosh, 27-6.
Coach Pat Mahoney of Bulls Will
have his squad almost at peak
strength for Fridays game. He ex-
poets to have Walter Schwartz back
in action. He's blocking back In
iured against the plebes two weeks
ago 1t was necessary to use an END
in the backfield last week against
A. U. frosh. One other change has
been made in the lineup, with Len
Hardy having earned a starting
berth at left halfback. Among the
other starters probably will be Jack
Wilhelm, former Central player at
center and Dick Metzler. one-time
Roosevelt backfleld ace, who now Is
an end.
Bulls expects Dewitt to use numer-
Gus passes and to that end Coach
Mahoney has been devoting practice
this week to aerial defense.
Devitt's Spirit High.
At Dewitt the players have no de-
featist attitude as might be expected
with Bulls coming up. They will
be outweighed 10 pounds or more
per man, but still think they have
chance in spite Of several injuries.
Jim Jones and Morton Weinstein,
tackles. and Sonny Borjes. back, all
are out with injuries or illness and
probably will not play. On the
other hand, Dick Bailey. an out
standing guard. will be back after
missing two games.
Dewitt has accomplished to the
point where it no longer appears a
match for Bulls, for which it has
pointed all season.

GULL and Rose Leading
Rivals; District Loop
Stors Roll Tonight

One of the keenest bowling bat
ties ever waged here was intensi-
fed today by the announcement
that Ida Simmons, No. l woman
duckpinner of the country for the
last six years, would not be a con-
tender for the title this season.
Chiefly in the running from
Washington will be Lorraine GULL,
the Capitals premier woman roller
for two decades, who held the title
six consecutive times before Miss
Simmons was crowned in 1884, and
Lucy Rose, Rosslyn star, who as
champion of the Ladies District
League is showing her heels again
to Miss GULL with an average Of l25.
Move Is to Surprise.
Miss Simmons decision not to
make a drive for the No. title
for the seventh straight time came
as no gerat surprise to Capital
boWlers. For some time the Nor
folk bowling marvel has been con-
templating such move.
The increasing demand for her
services as 0uckpln lnstruclreSS no
doubt prompted her decision. To be
eligible for ranking. she would have
had to roll So league games.
District Leaguers Shoot.
In front on total pins over Lucky
Strike, the sharpshooting Clarendon
boWlers will face probably the Dis
trict Leagues heaviest artillery when
they invade Convention Hall at 1880
tonight.
But no easier row to hoe looms for
the Lucky Strikes in their attempt
to gain undisputed possession of first
place in the all-star circuit when
they play host to the charging King
Primers from Northeast.
Clicking after a slow start, the
champion Rosslyn quint will trek
to Chavy Chase for tussle with the
strong Ice Palace team. while other
matches will pit Penn Recreation
and Lafayette at Penn. Georgetown
and HyattSville at Georgetown and
Brookland and the replace

HiIIman Protests
Army's Giving Ford
100000 Order
Vigorous Objection
Suid to Be Bosed on lock
Of Labor Law Clause

BY the Associated Press.
A spokesman for Sidney Hillman,
Labor member of the Defense Com
mission, said today a vigorous pro-
test" had been lodged with the War
Department against the award of a
50 O00, 900 contract to the Ford Motor
Co. for Army trucks and passenger
cars.
The protest was understood to
have been filed on the ground the
award carried no stipulation for
compliance with labor laws, particu-
larly the Wagner Act.
The Ford Motor Co. has been a
defendant in several Labor Board
decisions holding it has violated the
Wagner Act.
The contract for Army trucks and
| passenger cars was reported awarded
about two weeks ago. Mr.. Hillman's
spokesman said the War Department
had not yet replied to the protest.
The ONCE Of Assistant Secretary
Of War Robert Patterson said it had
no information as to what action. If
any, Mr.. Patterson had taken on Mr..
Hillman's request. Mr. Patterson is
in Philadelphia.
1,50o Midget Cars in Order.
The $4,000 900 of business involved
in Mr.. Hillman's protest includes
81, 1897 500 of midget automobiles, de-
signed to bridge a gap between mo-
torcycles and trucks.
The Ford Co., under the award,
would build $500 Of these cars. An
other 1,5O0 have been ordered from
the American Bantam Car Co. of
Butler, Pa, for $1,419051.
The midget cars will carry three
men. They will be armed with a
light machine gun. but will not be
armored. and will have road speeds
of so to IS miles an hour.
Well-informed persons said the
War Department had justified a
previous 1922 900 900 award to Ford
for airplane engines on the ground
that no alternative facilities for
their production existed.
To Await Court Rulings.
Persons close to Mr.. Hillman said
he had protested that contract but
had more or less agreed to await
Supreme Court decisions on pend
ing Labor Board cases against Ford.
The passenger cars and midget
automobiles in the later award,
these persons said, could have been
obtained from several automobile
manufacturers. A. stipulation for
compliance with labor laws, it was
explained, is in line with a general
policy adopted by the Defense Com
mission last fall
The award, it was said. had been
cleared by the Defense Commis-
sion, but Mr.. Hillman had not
learned of the clearance until later
His associates said that as far as
they knew the War Department had
not actually signed the contract.
