UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A reader who does not want me
to publish his name has sent me
an odd letter, in which he claims to
have known about the course Of
events in advance. Here is how
his letter goes:
II have been q reader Of your
columns for a good many years
and have learned a lot from them.
I have been thinking Of writing to
you for q long time to ask you to
give me the address of one of the
astronomers you have referred to at
times. I might ask him what he
can see that might get between the
earth and the sun that might make
1t dark on the earth for As days
This will happen in the Sos, If I
am right in my thinking.
II have known everything before
hand that has happened in the past
20 years, and I am sure I know
the next 20 years. am a World
War veteran and expected the
Kaiser to go into another country
and live until lieutenant of his
brought him back through another
war that would start 20 years after
Evening star., 1940-02-03

the last one stopped. The Kaiser
will 60 back on the throne again.
This is all Bible prophecy"
have heard before of people
who believe they can foretell the
future by Bible prophecy" There
also are some who speak OF
writings found in the pyramids"
which tell the future.
Astronomers do not know Of any
thing which is likely to get in the
way of the sun and cause darkness
for As days on the earth. In fact,
an eclipse of the sun would not
cause total darkness for even As
minutes.
From time to time the planets
Mercury and Venus cross the face
of the sun. They do not, however,
block out enough light to matter.
Astronomers have to take great
pains to observe the passage at all.
When the sun is eclipsed its light
is blocked out by the moon. Since
Venus is far larger than the moon
one might wonder why this planet
does not eclipse the sun for us.
The reason has to do with distance.
Evening star., 1940-02-03
"A Little Saturday Tall

Venus is many times as far away
as the moon.
Close one eye and hold a pencil
a foot in front of the other eye.
With the pencil you can block out
the light Of the sun. If the same
pencil were held up a block away
how much light would it block?
AS to the Kaiser coming back, no
one could say for certain, but most
persons do not expect it to happen.
He is now quite an old man, having
reached the age of 81.

6NT Pass Pass Pass
II sat West and opened with the

tricks and we the rest. Will you
please tell me how this hand should
have been bid"
We would like first to comment
on South's taking only his six top
tricks. Evidently he plays no bet
ter than he bids. Dummy's heart
suit being hopeless, South should
have at least established his own
diamond suit. BY giving up two
diamond tricks he could have won
three tricks in the suit and his other
five top cards would have produced
q total of eight.
AS for the bidding, South was so
greedy to cash his aces that he COM
pletely trapped his partner. The
proper bidding Of the hand should
be as follows:
South. North.

BY opening with a game-forcing

South should cheerfully give up

BY the Associated Press.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Sept. 10
The long range .3O-caliber rifle
championship of America was up
for decision today at the national
matches.
A total of 1893 of the country's
top-t1ight marksmen entered 20
shot, 1,000-yard event for the
Wimbledon Cup, placed in compete
ton in 1875 by Princess Louise of
England. The event, won a year ago
by Pvt. Alfred L. Wolters of the
marines with perfect score, is open
to any rife. but the majority of the
field used the Army Springfield.
Another test for the Arny's new
Garard (M-D semi automatic rifle
was on today's program. A field OF
LASS entered the Scott Trophy event.
20 shots rapid fire prone, at 300 yards
with the Springfield bolt action rifle
while 1,012 competed in a 16-shot
event over the same course with the
new arm.
Yesterday "a marksmen scored
perfect Sos with the Springfield in
a l0-shot rapid fire event at 200
yards, while only one had a peri ,ct
score over the same distance in a
16-shot Garand match.
The perfect score among the LOST
MI marksmen was turned in by
c. L. SWEET of Spark, New, while the

self can't explain the curious
spelling, even though he tried to
think very hard.
Maybe some old patriarch of
the family left out o couple of
letters in haste one day and
simply dropped the apostrophe
in there as a reminder-like
tying a string on his finger.
Maybe he intended to put those
letters back in when he found
time and simply never got
around to it.

word long ago." Hank said.
Like this-Santambrogio, and
maybe somebody decided we
should have breathing space
in there and made the division.
Honestly, I can't tell you why it's
spelled that way. In Italian
SAINT means Saint. and Ambrogio
could be the anglicized word for
Ambrose. 1t does mean st. AM

CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-This Is the
day when the newspaper photog-
raphers get a real workout-the
same day that scores of sturdy
young men begin their bid for foot
ball fame at dozens of schools.
The athletes will turn out en-
masse today at Big Ten schools,
Notre Dame and many other Mid
west schools, but the initial days
work will be Of the hghtest sort.
Ohio State Slight Choice.
As the Big Ten teams begin drills
the preseason concensus seems TO
be tr-at Ohio State rates a slight
edge over the field and might re-
peat as the Big Ten champion.
Close behind come Michigan and
rejuvenated Minnesota. Indiana,
Northwestern and Iowa easily quail
ify as dangerous, with Illinois.
Wisconsin and Purdue bringing up
the rear.
Notre Dame, facing top teams Of
many sections of the country, rates
potentially with the best in the Ma
ton, especially If Bob Ssggau. left
halfback, can dodge injury and full
fill the promise he has shown in
the past two years.
Chicago's Absence Helps.
This season is the first in many
years that the Western Conference
is operating with less than 10 foot
ball teams, Chicago having decided
to abandon the sport.
This strengthens the group gen.
orally since in recent years the
Maroons were no worthy rivals of
other league teams. Now there are
no setups in the nine-team circuit.

Hagerty ran SO yards for a touch
down with an intercepted pass
against Georgia Tech for the record
in that department. His feat helped
the Hilltoppers roll up a 100 lead
in the first half which availed them
naught when Tech came back with a
20-point attack in the last two Pc
RODS.
In the current book, Maryland is
mentioned once, thanks to Joe
Murphys 59-yard run against Syra-
cuse in the final game of the season.
Joe's best run-like lot of others
is not mentioned because it produced
no score. 1t was a 70-yard seturn
of kickoff in the Georgetown game
He went from his own to the
Hoyas' "a, where they finally nabbed
him.
Virtually all scoring plays of the
season are recorded, even down to
the 2-yard forward-lateral COM
pleted by Noah Mullins. Joe Shep-
herd and Junior Jones of Kentucky
against West Virginia. That's how
Mike Monchlovich, Tom Grady and
Ken Batson Of George Washington
got their names in print. Batson's
60-yard trek against the Citadel was
the longest registered by Colonial
back. and Rocco Pirro, Catholic Uni
versity fullback, topped him with a
77-yard jaunt against Elon.
Sachon, C. u, Well Mentioned.
Pete Sachon, Catholics quarter
back, got his name in the book more
than any other local player because
of four passes he completed for
touchdowns.
Rocco Pirro, incidentally, tied with
two others for fifth place nationally
in kicking points after touchdowns.
The barrell-chested fullback put 18
across the bar.
1t is interesting to note that James
c. Leechs record of 21o points,
made in 1920, still stands as the all
time scoring record for one season
and that Arlo Davis record of %
extra points in one game withstood
another campaign in good style
Other ong-standing marks re-
manned unchanged, but the prize is
Wyllys Terry's 115-yard run from
scrimmage for Yale in 1884
There's one that probably never
will be equalled or surpassed be-
cause they changed the field dinen-
sions in 1912.

By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

SpaldlngS 1910 football guide Is,
on the newsstands, but it's pretty
dry reading for Georgetown's unde-
feated Hoyas and their faithful sup
porters.
1t seems that through some over
sight three of the Hoyas' most
praiseWorthy deeds were overlooked.
A grievous error. no doubt, but when
old grads idly thumb through the
thick batch of data and see no Hill
topperS mentioned-especially when
many of them saw the noble acts
committed-there's going to be an
ear-shattering beef.
One of the plays omitted saved
Georgetown's undefeated record
from the grave and the other two
turned out to be margins of victory.
Maybe you remember Augie Lio's
34-yard placement that won the
Temple game, 80. in the waning
minutes of play. That appeared to
be mighty important at the time,
but Lou Ghecas went Augie one
better.
1t was the fleet Greek halfback
who ankled 80 yards in the last min
ute Of the Syracuse game for a
touchdown that saved Georgetown
from defeat, and when the old BOYS
fail to find that one in the book the
din will be terrific.
Hoyas Recall Flavin's Punt.
The third unlisted play comes un-
der the heading of touchdowns
scored with intercepted passes and
is credited to Al Matuza, the center,
who gathered in stray enemy pass
in the New York University game
and ran Sc yards for the score that
beat the VioletS.
All this probably could be over.
looked by most Georgetown men,
but a few remember that Jack Fla
wins 105-yard punt was dropped
from the records for no apparent
reason some years ago and they still
resent it. Old timers will recall how
Flavin stood yards behind his own
goal line on Fitton Field in a game
with Holy Cross, booted the cowhide
80 yards on the fly and saw it roll
the remaining distance across the
goal line. Why it was deleted from
the records never was learned.
Tom Oliver, Catholic University
fullback, later got recognition for
his 84-yard punt against Western
Maryland several years ago, but
eventually was crowded off the page
by AL Braga of San Francisco, who
kicked one SO yards in 1887. Oliver.
incidentally, had punt blocked in
the Western Maryland game and
the Terrors recovered for the win
ming safety.
Georgetown, getting back to the
records, had a slew of representa-
