Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The Pine City and Willow River
schools held their immunization elm
les for the first dose of toxoid for
diphtheria and the vaccinations for
smallpox last week. DR.. Nethercott
and DR.. Brown assisted by Miss Vir-
ginia Karlson, county nurse, and Miss
M. Phillips immunized about IS chill
dren at Pine City.
At Willow River DR.. w. c. Ehmke
immunized ITO. This is not as many
as were expected, but many of those
who were absent have already been
immunized. Parents are urged to
bring in their pre-school children
where this treatment is being given,
as most deaths from these diseases
occur before the child reaches its
fifth year. The school superinten-
dents will notify the children when
this is to take place.
All rural schools have the COM
plete treatment.
Inspections were made by the nurses
in the first four grades of the Bruno
school, Friday. Many of the children
needed dental care and some need
their eyes attended to.
Teachers Part Important.
The teachers part in health edu-
cation is very important. Miss Muir
ply and Miss Johnson have health
charts and weight graphs that they
use. This will help in making the
children more conscious of the i'm
portance of health. Miss Lavina
SwendSen has been teaching her pu-
pills artificial respiration, by demon
Stration in the class room. Miss
Karlson is interested in any health
project the teachers are carrying on
in their classroom.
Subcommittee meetings have had
to be postponed until further notice
because of the snow.
Buy Christmas Seals.
Now that the Red Cross drive is
over, we must turn our attention to
the little Christmas Seal and raise
money to help those who are sick
and suffering with tuberculosis. More
intensive work will be necessary to
prevent an increase in the prevalence
of the disease.
From its rank as the number one
cause of death in this country, tu-
berculosis has now been pushed down
to seventh place. This means the
saving of hundreds of lives in every
county. 1t is to be hoped we may
hold the gains made. Every person
can help by the simple act of buying
and using Christmas Seals.

Art Rooney never keeps as many
players as the league quota allows
and he prunes his quad smaller and
smaller as the season progresses.
It'll be news if the Steelers show up
with as many as % men.
OF local interest, however, will be
the appearance of Rocco Pirro, for
mer Catholic University back, in a
Pittsburgh uniform. Pirro played
quite a bit of the first game against
the Redskins. 1t will be the second
time that an exc. U. gridman has
shown here with Pittsburgh, Ed
Karp (nee Karpowich) performing
with them last season.
Still, they did tie the Giants and
beat the Lions as Flaherty aptly
will recall when his charges grow
too cocky. And the Redskins do
have two real objectives which they
can further by smelling the Steel
ers: An undefeated, united record to
take up to the Brooklyn game on
November 10 and continuation of
their scoring-now slightly under
the an-time record which they're
seeking to break They've got to
average nearly 81 points a game to

Revenge Year on Grid
Is Being Enjoyed
By Minnesota

The Minnesota Gophers are play
ing as if they set aside the 1910
season for revenge only. In 1889
the Gophers lost four games and
tied one, their poorest record in
many years. Now they already have
settled accounts with three of their
conquerors of last fall-NebraSka,
Iowa and Ohio State.
Northwestern is next on their
list, these two meeting Saturday at
Evanston in a clash of two un-
defeated teams.
Last year the Gophers could score
only Sc points to Sc for their rivals
in losing games. In the three 1910
games with Iowa, Nebraska and
Ohio State they have scored 60
while limiting this trio to 20.

Better 'Bannockburn'
Promised as Links
Takes Old Name
CopitoI Club Since 1887
Will Reoreonize Next
Month, Says Prexy

Scheduled to begin operation
under the old name of "Bannockburn
Golf and Country Club, the Capital
Golf and Country Club today faces
the future with assurance from the
owner of the property at Glen Echo,
Md, that "old Bannockburn" will
remain, and that the golf course
will be better than ever.
Roy K. Aten, president of the
Capital Club, announced today that
a reorganization will take place next
month, and that the old name of the
club will be resumed. Capital was
known as Bannockburn from 1912
to 1887.
Purpose of the reorganization
said Aten, "is to improve the finan-
tensive repairs and Improvements,
to be made both to the golf course
and the club house, and at the same
time to give the active members of
the club a larger voice in the con-
duct of its affairs.
He explained that all officers and
committee chairmen will be elected
by the members. Present officers of
the Capital Club are: Roy K. Aten,
president; James A. Hayes, vice
president; H. o. Kephart, secretary
treasurer.
The new Bannockburn Golf and
Country Club will remain as a pri-
vate links organization, with about
the same dues and charges as those
now existing under the Capital club
management.
The property is owned by John J.
SINNERS, jr., Pennsylvania capi-
talist. Aten said new golf course
equipment is to be moved in i'm
mediately and work on the course
will begin at once. I'VE want to
have one of the outstanding golf
courses in this area, he said, "one Of
our first aims will be to fill in some
of the valleys and eliminate some
of the climbs that have made our
course difficult.
The Capital club took over old
Bannockburn about three years ago
after a reorganization Operated for
time as public fee course, Capital
went on a strict private club basis
about year ago. 1t will remain on
that basis, Aten said.

You'll see those Redskin rockies
Sunday lots.
Will the Indians be overconfident
against the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Perhaps. (They beat 'em, 40-10. at
Pittsburgh, you know Will they
be given a scare? Maybe. Will
they lose? No.
And those rockies are one of the
main reasons Coach Ray Flaherty
can feel reasonably sure the Red
skins won't be victims of what would
be the biggest upset of the pro league
this year,
At present, Flaherty isn't planning
to start his all-rookie combination,
leaving it to the Baugh and Filchock
combines to establish comfortable
lead. But if. or rather. when" they
do, make way for youth.
Naturally, most of the squads
rookie power will be concentrated in
the backfield, for the other four
flrst-year men. Bob Titchenal prob
ably will start the game at center
and Sandy Sanford, an end. is still
laid up with a bum knee. In other
words, the balance of the rookie
contingent will be composed of Steve
Andrako, the center from Ohio State,
and Bob Fisher, a tackle from South
ern California.
1t then will depend upon Roy
TD1l~
Hoffman and Ray Hare to make
themselves click extensively, for
they'll be operating behind a near
veteran line with Bob Masterson
and Bob McChesney at the ends,
Bo Russell at the other tackle and
elem Stralka and Bill Young at
guards.
But off what Seymour and Hoff-
man have shown to date and the
innate promise of Zimmerman and
Hare, that quartet should 60. Sey-
mour'S been looking better every

day found holes in the line for con-
siderable gains. The erstwhile
Oklahoma star seems to have rene
died his biggest fault, running with
the head down, and he not only
knows where he's going but looking
for more ground to gain.
AS for the Steelers, they're not
much better than their record indi-
cates-one victory, five defeats and
two ties. They have a fair passer
in Billy Patterson of Arkansas and
a pretty good runner in Merlin
Condit from Carnegie Tech, but
their line isn't so good. And. like
most every other team the Red
skins play, they're gradually worn
down by the Indians reserve power
in the third and fourth quarters.

Eastern Granted Edge
On Anoccstio;; Boker,
Peurce Have 1t Out
By GEORGE HUBER.


Schoolboy football fans would like
to be in three places at the same
time tomorrow, what with three
good battles on tap. Eastern plays
at Anacostia and Western at Tech
in championship series games, while
for an equally interesting clash
Washington-Lee of Arlington is
coming to town to meet Central
All start at BIS.
Even though no title is at stake
between WaShington-Lee and Cen
trail it should be one of the big bat
ties of the year. For one thing
Coaches Johnny Baker of the Gen.
erals and Hardy Pearce of the Vik-
ings are brothers. law and there's
the matter of family supremacy to
be decided. Baker won last year
by the narroweSt of margins. IA

streak that was ended only last
week when the Generals were de-
feated by Portsmouth CVa) High
9-6.
Central is out of the title race,
an upset by Roosevelt last week
erasing the Vikings, and they can
salvage goodly measure of pres
tige by conquering the Generals.
Rival Coaches Confident.
AS for the Eastern -Anacostia bat
tie Coach Mike Kelley of Eastern
thinks he will win and ROLAND Lund
of Anacostia believes he has the
edge. Artie Wondrack of Tech
gives the nod in his game to West
ern, while Dan Ahern of Western
says IF we lose Tech will know it's
been in a battle"
The games may decide the east
division champion, which will play
Western for the city title. If East
ern wins and Western takes Tech
the edge will be with the Lincoln
ParkerS as they already have two
series wins on the books However,
it is likely another week or so of
battling will be necessary to settle
the issue.
Western will not be at peak men
tally or physically for Tech, with
a letdown expected following its
clinch of the west division title last
week.
Four Regulars Damaged.
On the injured list are four first
string players. Bob Matthews,
George Grey and Harold Mitchell,
from the line, and triple threat Jake
Hilleary, from the backfleld. Coach
Ahern is not conceding the game to
Tech by any means, but in an effort
to win he does not intend to use
half-crippled boys.
The game means much more to
Tech than to Western because a de-
feat practically would eliminate
Tech from the race. With all their
first-stringers in fettle the Manual
Trainers should make a real battle
Of it. Coach Wondrack as usual is
worried about requirements.
Tech to win by a nose is our pre-
diction and, on paper. Western
should be the favorite. Eastern ap-
pears to have an edge over Anacostia
Among the other games on to-
morrow's program are Wilson at
Georgetown Prep, St. Paul's at St
Adams, Boys Latin of Baltimore at
Landon, Fairfax at Leesburg, Mount
Vernon at Warrenton and Roosevelt
