RambIers Attempting
To Iron Wrinkles
OF Rider Game
Mentor Would Develop
More Protection for
Fost, Light Boeks
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Eastern Highs RamblerS welcome
today's game against Gonzaga as a
respite from interhigh competition
not because the Eagles are a softer
touch than some interhigh oppon-
ents, because they're not, but it gives
Coach Mike Kelley an opportunity
to see in an actual game if he has
corrected numerous errors that
cropped up against Roosevelt last
week.
Main trouble with the Ramblers,
even though they won, was they
lacked zip and power. Anacostia
down on the flats is rising as a dis
tinct threat in East Division series
competition and the Ramblers need
everything they have to win this
year. Eastern meets the Indians
next week in game which may de-
eide the sectional crown. With
Herbie Adams, interhigh 100-yard
dash champion, to lead the attack,
Eastern has plenty of speed in its
backfield but all week Kelley has
been telling his boyS-backs and
linemen alike-they don't hit hard
enough.
His backs are fast but light and
once hit, easily stopped. Kelley
wants more protection from the line
and better downfield blocking.
Stands Pat on Lineup.
No changes are contemplated in
the starting team, but the ends es-
pecially may be shifted before long.
Three of the reserves, Fitzsimmons,
Jordan and Newman, are improving
so rapidly that one, and possibly
two, may be given a chance on the
first team. Foreman, guard, also
is making a good fight for a start
ing position.
Three Of Eastern's players last
year have earned regular berths
down on the North Carolina State
freshman team, regarded there as
the greatest in State history. 3"
Babe Erlich is playing center, Bob
Pieri is tackle and Eddie league is
in the backfield. leagues passing
and plunging especially is praised in
reports coming from Raleigh.
Last year it may be remembered
that the freshman team, with Art
Faircloth and Flash Gordon from
Anacostia as its mainstays, was re-
garded as the best ever, so it seems
State is improving right along Both
these boys are expected to perform
before a hometown crowd on No.

CITY OFFICIALS
 AWAITING ACTION
Federal Funds May Be Provided Shortly for
 New Pipe Line

City officials were hopeful today that early favorable action will be taken at Washington on Watcr- bury's application for federal aid in building c new pipe iino from Mor- rls and expanding the water supply system. The city made It's applica- ton in anticipation of passage of the Lanhanl community service bill, which was passed yesterday by the Senate and now goes to President Roosevelt for his signature.
 The Lanham act appropriates SiB0 900 000 in federal funds for aid to defcnae centers where important public projects are required. Money will go for such purposes as new schools, public health work and wa- ter supply systems.
 As passed by Congress, the bill carries an amendment offered by Rep. J. Joseph Smith to make cer- tain that Waterbury will be able to share in the funds. The amend- inent provides that money for need- cd work can Do given any ci1 where the most of major projects, if borne by the community itself, would force an increase in the tax rate or an undue increase in the bonded debt.
 Federal aid would allow tho city to complete the project while using only part of tho $2,000 ,000,0 ,000 bonds issue which the General Assembly has authorized 1t to float for the work. The city has already called for bids on the project, which ir- cludes not only c pipe line but erec- ton of e new dam and reservoir, also construction of c chlorination plant ct Morris.
