ments by Willkie alleging that the
national defense program, irlclud-
ing housing and arms manufacture,
were for the most part ION order.
There Is not one iota Of evidence
to back 1t up" Byrnes declared.
Byrnes reviewed several Of Will
kie's recent speeches in which he
criticized the conduct of the ma
tional defense program and then
said:
my criticism is this. The Ameri-
can people are not going to be-
neve that Mr.. Knudsen, Mr., Stet-
tinius and other able industrial ex-
ecutives are incompetent. They
themselves have said that they are
getting a maximum Of cooperation
from the administration.
IT declare that Mr.. Willkie, by
his reckless, irresponsible statements,
may induce foreign powers to cause
trouble, believing we are unprepared.
I also declare that such talk would
have very bad effect in South
America where many nations look
to US for leadership"
Stands by Roosevelt
Byrnes said he stood in "abso-
lutte" concurrence with the foreign
policy Of President Roosevelt, re-
marking that The proof Of its ef-
ficacy was that while the rest of
the world is at war the United
Efafes ie of Y1aace"
"And II the Presidents policy of
preparedness Is continued" Byrnes
said, Eve win continue at peace"
Asked II he believed the Presi-
dent had made any secret commit
ments" with foreign powers as has
been charged by Republicans, the
senator replied:
II differ with President Roosevelt
on some domestic issues at times,
but do not believe that he has
made any such commitments. If
so, he should be impeached and I
would vote for 1t. But I know that
such statements are a cruel SLAM
der"
Byrnes said that while Willkie
took one position on foreign policy
a policy that was in line with that
of the administration, majority
Of Republicans on Congress had
voted against such administration
measures as the lifting of arms
sales to the Allies, CONSUMPTION, and
every defense measure since the fall
Of France. On the other hand, he
said, while the Republican nominee
opposed the CONSUMPTION Of indus
try, his Republican colleagues In
congress voted for 1t.

Bulls Flashes Power
In Opening Victory
Over Blackstone
Its 20 Win Is Topped
By Sparkling 90-Yord
Run to Touchdown

Bulls School of Silver Spring
again has one of the stronger prep
elevens in this area and plenty Of
headaches are in prospect for several
opponents on its schedule, notably
the accomplished Dewitt team
which it meets on November Is.
Bulls revealed its power yesterday
when it opened its season by sinking
Blackstone Military Academy of
Blackstone. Va, 30, on the Silver
Spring Field.
Bulls scored in all but the last
period when its third team was in.
Pat Bennett toured right end for
yards to score in the first period
and in the second 20-yard smash
through tackle by Hills Hume &C
counted for a tally.
The most spectacular play so far
on local schoolboy gridirons gave
Bulls its first score in the third
quarter. From his own 10 Bennett
raced about 20 yards through the
line and when he almost was downed
he lateralled to Hume, who scamp
cred the remaining distance for a
touchdown. Eddie Dove supplied the
final score when he powered his way
across from the 1-yard line.

colleges and the Redskins out OF
town, the game becomes Washing

Last season the Vikings drubbed
the Johnnies, PIT, but such a mar
gin hardly is in prospect tonight
for either team. 1t should be a
close game between two of the best
drilled schoolboy teams here, with
Central a slight favorite on the
strength of it's one-sided win last
week over Gonzaga while st. Johns
was being tied by Anacostia.
The public high title series was
scheduled to get under way this
afternoon at Eastern Stadium with
Roosevelt moving from the west
division to tangle with Eastern,
champion of the east section.
In other tits today St. Adams
was to play at Wilson, Baltimore

Air.Minded Jaspers
To Test CoIoniaIs'
True Strength
August Storts at Flonk
In Place of Ledford;
Butson Is Reserved
BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Stan CORRESPONDENT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The sleeper
team Of the East" as somebody has
labeled George Washington, will
hear the ring of the alarm clock
here tonight. 1t will be the signal
for the Colonials to awaken and 90
to work on Manhattan under the
lights at the Polo Grounds, where
many of the questions concerning
the G. w. team are expected to be
answered.
Inaugurating the stiff portion Of
its tough schedule, G. w. may en-.
counter the most air-minded outfit
on its slate.
Unimpressive in its opener, when
1t thumped surprisingly rugged
Mount st. Mary's, 1910, George
Washington will take the wrappings
off against the Jaspers, who issued
warning in swapping St. Bona
venture. $50, in their debut. The
Colonials will be at full strength.
Jaspers Tricky Outfit.
Manhattan is light, but is touted
as boasting more deception than a
foreign agent. It's an alert, fast
team.
How much the Jaspers rely on
aerials is reflected in their st.
Bonaventure adventure In that
engagement they struck through the
air for each of their seven touch
downs.
@. w. showed no consistency in
batting down Mount St. Mary's
passes last week and unless it reveals
distinct improvement the Colonials
are likely to be in for a rough
evening.
Only one change will mark the
George Washington starting lineup,
with Frank August, who missed the
opener due to damaged leg, re-
placing Frank Ledford at end. G. w.
workouts have been light and the
squad is in top physical shape.
Colonials Reserve Batson.
Ken Batson, whose polished per-
Torrance highlighted the Mount st.
Mary's game, again will be with
held from the starting lineup. He
will be inserted after the Jaspers'
defense has been tested for vulner-
able spots.
Those spots may be difficult to
locate, for Manhattan will start five
players who weren't in the opening
lineup last week, including Fullback
Frank Kiesecker, who has ousted
the highly regarded Ed Wysocki.
The game will be the first between
the teams since 1929, when Manhat-
tan walloped the Colonials by three
touchdowns.
G. w. has brought its 5O-piece
band to toot for the occasion.

A new seriousness and better pros

The Eagles are ready either to

They aren't likely to quit. There
will be no more kicking co-eds, no
more bandsmen in football uniforms

are determined there will be no
more games in which the Eagles
hopelessly are outclassed. In short,
they are ready to play honest-to-
