schooled on their duties at a class
presided over by Mrs. Benton
Registration at the schools is
scheduled to close at 8 8:30 o'clock to-
night, but it was understood the
registrars would remain on duty in
most instances until later in hope
Of adding as many as possible to the
potential army of defenders.
Mrs. BerntOn reported that the
registration campaign so far has
been quite stimulating from the
point of view of the interest peo-
pie are showing and the wide variety
of skills listed.
There is a general willingness on
the part of the public to be of
service" the chairman said. Very
little hysteria has been manifest.
Instead, there is a continuing and
strong interest
While the estimated total regis
trants for Washington was set at
$1,000, approximately 10 times as
many as were registered the first
day, Mrs. Bernton explained that
her prediction of a successful cam
paign was based on the fact that
the District Defense Council is more
interested in the type of service
represented than in numbers.
In explaining the reason the coun-
ell has asked for a large registra-
ton Mrs. Bernton said that about 10
times as many people will be re-
ouired to carry on the volunteer de-
fense program as would be necessary
If workers were to be paid for their
services.
I'VE have divided our defense
work days into three periods
morning, afternoon and evening"
she pointed out. Under this setup,
there will be 81 such periods each
week. If each volunteer agrees to
work two periods, that will mean
that approximately 10 persons will
be needed to keep one job fully in
operation.
This proportion can be expanded
into the thousands of persons We
estimate we will need. If there are
10 Jobs, 100 persons, on this two
periods per -person-per-w basis,
will be needed to fill them"
Made Careful Study.
The chairman stressed that the
Defense Council did not begin its
registration drive without first max
Ing q careful study of the situation.

Disabled Woman, IS,
Helps Spur Drive
For Civilian Defense
Leader of Work in First
World War Returns to
Activity in Emergency

A disabled 86-year- old resident OF
Washington. who took the lead in
civilian defense during the first
World War, came back on the active
list yesterday to help out in the
program now under way.
Additional registrars were needed
ut local schools. Dozens of telephone
calls must be made. 1t would re-
ouire precious time, time people al
ready at work could not spare.
Mrs. Harry S. Bernton, chairman
Of the Defense Councils Committee
on Volunteer Service, was in a di-
lemma. Success of the registration
drive might be jeopardized If appli-
eants had to be turned away.
Suddenly the chairman thought of
Miss Katherine M Dabney of 618
Nineteenth street NV. Active in
hands and mind, but crippled years
ago by a. fall, she had telephoned to
know if there was something she
could do.
Rounded Up Class.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Bernton
met a class of nearly 40 new regis
trars. They had come in answer
10 telephone calls from Miss Dab
ney. But the task of rounding up
these workers was not as simple as
that.
At a few minutes after 9 o'clock
Tuesday night Miss Dabney re-
eeived by messenger list of II
names. From then until after mid
night she thumbed the pages of a
telephone book, looking up numbers
She got a few hours sleep and was
back at work shortly after dawn.
At 10:3O am. she put aside the list,
all names checked, and went to
breakfast.
I'm used to it," she said. "I
wish I could do more My head and
hands are reliable sut my feet are
not"

Indispensable Yale Squad Preps For Dartmouth Indians
Army Scores Surprising 2O-7 Win But Harvard
 Upsets Dartmouth
BY UNITED PRESS

Yale Univer sity's football team, trounced by an ulnder-rated Army eleven full of power and steam, be- gan preliminary preparations today to met the raid of the Dartmouth Indians in the Yale Bowl this Sat- urday. Even though the Ellis have now lost two out of three, there were high hopes that Fuss Me- Laughry's Dartmouth eleven, beat en in close one by Harvard on Sta urday, would not be so tough. Yale always performs at its best when the Indians leave their Hanover reserva- tion on the search for Eli scalps.
 But the Army game undoubtedly was disappointing to coach Spike Nelson and his team. Army has been in the doldrums for some time, and few expected such a well-drilled and highly-mechanized outfit that Earl Blaik brought down from West Point.
 Expect for a furry in the opening period, Yale never came within scoring distance, and the military won, 20 to 2. Capt. Alan Bartholemy blocked a kick in the first minute or two of play, picked Up the ball and raced for a touchdown. That was lal the scoring for Yale against the powerhouse Army outfit which should cause plenty of trouble for a lot of teams.
 State Title Game
 The championship of Connecti- cuts small colleges probably will be decided Saturday when two unde- feated and united teams. the U. s, Coast Guard Academy and Trinity, tangle in a Hartford game.
 The Cadets already have won five games, the latest being 19 to 13 victory over Norwich University. That was the first time the Coast Guard team was scored on this sea- son. And Trinity, Victor in four games, took the measure of Hobart over the weekend, 25 to '.
 Wesleyan, which Amherst in a traditional game this Saturday, won It's second victory over the weekend against Haverford, 32 to IS. Wesle- van has been improving gradually, but is not given much chance D. gainst a stronger Amherst eleven.
 The University of Connecticut team, still without a victory for the season, came within Q point of tie against Maine, which won, IA to l3. Connecticut meets Speingfield this weekend, a team which has scored only 13 points in four games. But Connecticut itself has scored only l9 points in four games.

 WIN WITH EASE
Chicago Cards Slap Big 2O-6 Setback on Brook
 Iyn Dodgers
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondel

New York, Oct. 2o.-(UP)-Moans and groans echoed throughout the National Football league today as rival clubs considered the wreck age and humiliation being caused by the Chicago Bears, the gridiron juggernaut without conscience.
 Completing their conquest of the west, the Bears slapped down the Detroit Lions at Chicago Sunday, 4e-0, before 29,980-the largest crowd of the day. It was the Bears fourth straight win and ran their SCOT ing average to nearly A points $ game.
 The New York Giants only other unbeaten pro eleven and the team considered most likely to meet the Bears in the title playoff, had a close struggle for a half with the Pittsburgh Steelers before 24,604 at the Polo Grounds before winning 28-7.
 The first real upset of the season came when LNe CtllCABO OdEulllAAS' beaten unmercifully by the Bears Q week ago, trimmed the Brooklyn Dodgers, 20-6, before l2,054 at Eb- bets field. With Marshal Gold berg leading the attack, the Cards gained SIS yards to the Dodgers l76.
 The Philadelphia Eagles had Washington beaten 17-l4, with only five minutes remaining before l9,o71 at Philadelphia but Sammy Baugh passed the Redskins to 2l-l7 vic- tory.
 Don Hutsons' field goal from the 17-yard line in the final minute gave the Green Bay Packers @ l7-l4 triumph over the Cleveland Rams before 15,oS6 at Cleveland. Cecil Isbells pass to Carl Mulleneaux scored one Green Bay touchdown and Clark Hinkle punched over for thhe other. The Packers gained 390 yards to the Rams 237.
