LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9. (UP-
Facing what many football critics
concede is the tougheI schedule in
the nation, University of California
at Los Angeles enters the 1910 grid
campaign with squad potentially
strong enough to land in the Rose
Bowl on next New Years day.
Coach Edwin C. (Babe) Horrell,
starting his second year as head
coach at UCLA, has flashy array
of backfield stars and flock of
experienced linesmen to form the
bulwark of his first string eleven.
What the reserves will do to plug
gaps which may arise during the
strenuous campaign is the big mys-
terry on the Bruin campus.
UCLA must face Southern Meth
odist, Santa Clara and Texas A.
and M. before diving into a seven
game Pacific Coast conference
schedule, which includes Washing
ton and University of Southern CAL
ifornia All five teams are touted
as possible national champions. Ore
gon State college, University of Cal
ifornia, Stanford, Oregon and
Washington State round out the
Bruin schedule.
Horrell has based his early STRAIT
egg around Jackie Robinson, who
was used as "decoy" for Kenny
Washington in last years back
field. Robinson, Negro halfback
rated as one of the fastest in the
game, has been given Washington's
vacated left half back spot. The
assignment calls for plenty of ball
Juggling and passing. AS Robinson
goes, so may go the 1910 Bruins.
Robinson will have ample support
behind the line. Bill Overlin and
Leo Cantor are hard-hitting full
backs; co-captain Ned Matthews is
star blocker at quarterback. Ray
Bartlett, another Negro star who
is almost as fast as Robinson, has
been cast in the right halfback
berth in the probable starting line
up.
Line Coach Ray Richards has
said that his starting line for the
coming season will be better than
the capable forward wall of last
season. Richards tabs Jack Som
mers, 230-pound guard, who has
been shifted to right tackle, as one
OF the best linesmen he has ever
seen in action. Richards. incidental
ly, was an AlI-America tackle at
Nebraska and played a decade of
pro football, SO his opinions on line
play must be respected. Sommers
is a senior with two years exper-
fence behind him. Dell Lyman, an
other veteran, has returned to the
left tackle job.
The Bruin line with one excep-
ton will be composed of veterans.
who have the advantage of one year
under the Horrell-Richards system
OF play. The newcomer is Milton
Smith, a 6-foot, 4-inch sophomore
who probably will get the call at
left end. Other linemen to report
ire Nate de Francisco, left guard:
Martin Matheson, center: Jack Co.
len, right guard, and Co-captain
Don Mcpherson, right end. McPher-
on may be Slow rounding into con-
lltion due to an ankle injury dur
ng the summer vacation.
OCLA fans are painting the usual
tose Bowl day dreams despite the
eaVy schedule, which opens Sep
enpef II when the Bruins tackle
'MU under the Los Angeles Coli
cum arc lights. Cooler heads. how
yer. prefer to see what the Bruins
Ill do without Kenny Washington.

Eddie Monaghan, 22-year ole

the California state amateur coll

he defeated for the title was in the
Monterey hospital facing an appen-

Monaghan won over Jack Gage,

Big Coal Tract Being
Opened at Grantsville
Cumberland Man Has Leased
500 Acres; Triple Being
Constructed

Five hundred acres of coal on the
Stone House Farm, three miles east
of Grantsville have been leased by G.
c. Sensabaugh, Cumberland eXcava-
tor, it has been announced.
A tipple is now being constructed
few feet off the National highway
where the mine is to be opened and
one pump has already been installed
An entire pumping system is to be
put in operation as soon as possible,
made necessary by the fact that the
coal vein slopes downward.
Mr.. Sensabaugh estimated that the
vein is approximately fory-fve in
ches. 1t has been reported the vein
underlies the whole section, opening
on the Beachy property, on the east
side of Negro mountain, and coming
out on the west slope of Meadow
mountain.
At the point where the new mine
is to be located the coal is reported
to be twenty to thirty feet under the
surface. The vein is high quality coal,
it is said.
The Ream company formerly held
rights to mine coal in this particular
section. Although the concern held a
lease on the property for sometime
they finally allowed it to expire with
out ever developing the coal.

Produce Truck Wrecked Yester
day Morning Near Oakland

Monheim's fruit and produce truck,
heavily laden with varied assortment
of fruits and vegetables and driven by
Carl Wolf, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Wolf, of Oakland, was wrecked at the
David Enlow farm, two miles north of
Oakland, yesterday morning, when it
left the roadbed, ran into ditch and
was thrown over on its side when it
struck a culvert, almost completely
demolishing the vehicle and damaging
to some extent the contents of the We
hicle The driver said he had been to
Uninontown and was returning to
Oakland when, to avoid a collision with
an approaching car, he was forced off
the highway into the ditch.
Wolf was accompanied by two Oak
land youths, Harold Cover and Eu-
gene Johnson, all of whom escaped
serious injury, except Wolf, who was
hurt about his side and hip.

Forestry Department
Transfer Is Supported

Possibility that the state forestry
and geological survey departments
would be moved to the University of
Maryland despite public works
board recommendation against it was
strengthened as the result of state
ment of DR.. H. C. Byrd, university
president.
The board asked that action on the
proposed transfer be delayed until
after the next legislative session.
"The fact remains" said DR.. Byrd,
"that such a request does not relieve
the university board of regents of the
local duties and responsibilities.
'If we believe that the proposed
move is in the interest of increased
efficiency, then l do not see that this
request has really changed the situa-
ton"
The general assembly in 1889 de-
clined to pass legislation separating
the two departments from the Uni
versity regents, DR.. Byrd said, adding:
"Under the circumstances, there
does not seem to be much cogency to
the argument that we should post
pone action on the chance that this
Legislature would do something in
1941 which it specifically refused to
do in 1889"

Held In Huge Amphitheatre At
Mountain Lake Park
NO CONTESTS THIS YEAR

Announcement of the seventh con-
secutive Mountain Choir Festival, to
be held Saturday and Sunday, July 81

the festival this season will feature
choral vespers, liturgical service
with music settings from the early
church, compiled by Rev. Robinson and

Musicians, standard reference work
on world music, had Incorporated the
Mountain Choir Festival in it's new
edition.
There will be no choir festival this
year as the Chormasters' Guild, at its
November meeting, had ruled against
contests. Any choir, parish or COM
munity, adult or junior, that would
like to sing two numbers at the after
noon session, and if adult choir, to
participate in the Festival music of
the evening service, is asked to con-
tact Rev. Robinson at Oakland.

Savage River Tunnel
Is Holed Through
Quarter Mile Outlet Under Dam
Driven Through Solid Rock
By WPA Workers

The 1170-foot outlet tunnel and 40
foot access shaft of the Savage River
dam, near Bond junction, were holed

The completion of the drilling marks
an important step forward in the
progress of the dam which is being
built by the Upper Potomac River
Commission and the Works Project
Administration.
Some 1000 WPA laborers are work
ing on the dam, which will create a
reservoir by means Of which the flow
of the Savage River may be controlled
and the flow of the Potomac Stabilized

through, the interior will be lined with
concrete.
When the tunnel end of the dam is
completed and work begins on the side
through which the Savage river now
flows, the stream will be diverted
through the tunnel to permit the dam
to be extended to the mountainside
which will mark its other terminus.

First Part Of Sidewalk Improve
ment Project Finished

The first section of the sidewalk i'm
provement project Of the Works Pro-
iect Administration sponsored by the
Mayor and City Council in conjunction
with property owners along the way,
was completed last Friday evening.
The north side of Alder street from
the Treacy store to the First National
Bank corner and the east side of Sec
ond street from the First National
Bank corner to Green street, have
been improved by the construction Of
concrete walks, replacing the old brick
pavements.
The sidewalks have been narrowed
two feet, thus adding that space to
The roadway, so that when the contep'
plated improvement is completed on
both sides of the street there will be
an additional four feet in driveway
width which will greatly facilitate the
movement of traffic.
The work that has been completed
on both Alder and Second streets Is
decided improvement over the old
sidewalks. The men employed in doing
it worked faithfully and apparently
were interested in making the walks
as good as they possibly could be made
and to them due credit is given.
Town officials have said that no
further work along this line would be
started until after July Fourth when
the west side of Second street and
that portion of Alder street originally
intended to be improved will have at
tention.
