day for q good look at the Duke
and Duchess Of Windsor.
Ninety District of Columbis
policemen were assigned to the
Union Station, to control the
thousands of sightseers expected
to greet the titled couple upon
their arrival aboard q Florids
streamliner.
All leaves were cancelled in
the detective bureau, and 382
members Of the polio force were
ordered on special duty to guard
the former king of England and
his lady on their brief round OF
official-and informal-calls.
Unexpectedly, and while the
Windsors were enroute here
from Miami, the Stat. Depart
ment announced The postpone
ment Of q White House luncheon
which had been planned for the
governor-general of the Bahamas
and his wife. It was explained
that the postponement was made
necessary by the serious illness
Of G.. Hall Roosevelt, brother OF
the Presidents wife.
Nevertheless, President Roose-
welt was to receive the Duke and
Duchess at noon. Whether Mrs.
Roosevelt would be present was
problematical.
While here, the Windsors'
headquarters will be the red
brick, Georgian style British en-
bassy on Massachusetts, avenue.
There they will be entertained
tonight at q formal dinner.
A small segment of Washing
ton, members of the National
Press Club and the National Wo-
mems Press Club, were afford
ed an opportunity to meet the
titled visitors at afternoon recep-
tons. The Duke was scheduled
to speak informally at the ga
thering of male journalists.
Officials of the two organiza-
tons said that they were under
terrific pressure for cards of ad-
mission to the receptions, but the
entry list was restricted rigidly
to members in good standing.
Police made full preparations
to handle surging crowds, SIM
ilar to those whici craned for
a glimpse of the Duke of Kent
on a similar occasion a few
weeks ago.
The Windsors planned to leave
tomorrow afternoon for the
Dukes ranch near Calgary, Sas-
katchewan. It was the former
nnonarch's third visit to this cap
ital. AS the bachelor Prince of
Wales, he came here first in
1919, and again in 1924.

ter. Have had a hard time get

but now have finally found

Upon none too steady legs
Newark's Wildcats will travel
down along the Ohio river to
meet the naughty Marietta Tt
gers this Friday night in their
first road contest of the current
campaign.
The Tigers were knocked out
of chance to win a share of the
C. o. L. championship last year
when our league winners nosed
them out 1876, in the stadium.
The Tigers are anxious to square
matters and if the Cats play like
they did against Lancaster the
Tigers won't have much trouble
gaining revenge.
Our Wildcats jumped all over
the hapless Lancaster Golden
Gales in the first half of the bat
tie last Friday night to lead 1910.
Newark scored just two minutes
after the opening whistle.
Bob Smiths kickoff put Lam
caster in hot water right off the
bat. Forced to kick from deep in
his own territory Bradford's punt
went out of bounds on the Gales
Is. Fleet-footed Jack Bickel
swept around his right end to the
Lancaster nine. Bullet Bill Cor
such cracked thru center for one.
Bill Winn, speedy junior, tore
around the left end and counted
the initial touchdown as his mates
took out two would-be tacklers on
the one yard line. Smith missed
his placement try.
