No. 7 Back Is Needed
By A. u. Eleven for
Hopkins Contest
Eagles linked Position
Makes Them Fearful
For Saturdays Tilt -,

Hyou fancy yourself~a No. back
and sren KIDDING anything Saturday
you might call Staff Cassell of
American University. He's short of
menrIn this department and withra
tough Johns Hopkins eleven coming
up on the schedule is receiving can
didates' applications.
And you'd better bring along a
bagful of four-leaf clovers, a couple
of spare horseshoes and maybe wear
a suit of armor for on the Eagle
campus there is growing sus-
picions that some evil spell has been
cast over the position. One or two
injuries were to be expected. but
when five youngsters get busted up
something is radically wrong and
neither Cassell nor George Menke,
his aide-de-camp, can dope it out.
I'm open to suggestions, Staff
said today. Our No. 2 back does
nothing the others are not required
to do and still they continue to get
hurt. It's perculiar circumstance,
but if we don't get a break soon
We'll use up our entire supply of
reserves plugging this one position" l"
"Pudge" Maloney, reserve fullback,
Is the latest victim of the jinxed
position. After nearly four weeks
scrimmaging with the defensive
team he got s shot at the No. 2
spot on the offensive eleven and
promptly broke leg. Before him
were Russ Arnaud, who suffered a
shoulder injury before the season
opened; Ernie Mccarthy. injured in
the inaugural with Susquehanna:
Bart Fugler. hurt the first day after
the Susquehanna game, and Mac
Potter, an end drafted for the No. 2
role for the game with Swarthmore
The jinx does more than knock
'em down, according to Staf. 1t
sits on them. Mccarthy, for exam
Pile, is ready to resume operations
but now has a trick knee that keeps
popping out Of place. Arnaud may
play this week If a turned ankle
don't throw him. Fugler still is
wearing the "horse collar" injured
backs must be harnessed in. and
Potter hasn't even put on a suit
since last week.
Joe Carlo, former A. U. back,
secuted Hopkins against Washing
ton College last week and reports
the Blue Jays are a fighting eleven
without much offense. They held
Washington to a 60 margin and
confidently expect to hand Ameri-
can its third straight setback be-
fore q homecoming audience.
Cassells crew has other ideas
about that, but before 1t turns its
attention to Hopkins it must whip
the No. 2 injury jinx, and that Is a
pretty tough proposition.

K. 0. Victor,
And FUR May Head
Next Show Here
Freddy Stops Brookmon,
Wright Shades Kodak;
Big Crowd DispIeosed

Freddy Apostoli and Phil Fur
will get the next headline billing
at Uline Arena if Matchmaker
Johnny Attel can bring them to
terms. he said today.
Furr also is angling for a shot
at Ken Overlin, one-time middle
weight champion and his arch rival.
But that will have to wait until
after Ken's return bout with Billy
Soose next month IN New York.
Attel, usually a pretty good match
maker, got off on the wrong foot
last night as Chalky Wright won
the nod from Leo Kodak in the
alleged 1O-round feature. and Apos-
toll scored a technical knockout
over Ell ~BrookmanAin five rounds.
The show, attracted approximately
1000 customers and crossed almost
seven grand, which ought to prove
something, But another dose Of
the same amedicine'~may cure the
public of its habit of plunking down
good coin for grade D fights.
Show Is Disappointing.
If Mike Jacobs has a hand in the
Uline pie, which is denied emphati-
cally by Attel, he should be able
to serve up something better. Harry
Markson, Mikes minister OF propa-
danda dropped in from New York
to witness the show and look over
the house. and number of
Jacobs trusted beach combers
lounged around the joint, lending
a true Jacobs tint to the atmos-
phere. But the boys insist Mike
isn't in on this deal.
Another rumor is being aired
that Al Weill, manager of joey
Archibald, is bankrolling Attels
newest venture. Paragraph two,
same rumor, reads that Al financed
losing featherweight
title tilt with Wright at Grif1th
Stadium last month, but such gos-
sip is discounted by WE'LL. Last
night, however, he had an anxious
eye on the house and a tender
finger on the public pulse to meas
ure its reaction to the card.
Apostoli VS.. Furr might be good
attraction Freddy proved he hasn't
lost the old persuader against Brook
man, who gave one of the gamest
exhibitions ever witnessed in Dis
trict ring and refused to quit, and
also that he can be hit in return.
He and Furr could tee off at will
and Fur would have a good chance
of beating him.
Apostoli Takes His Time.
Referee Eddie La Fond did right
in halting Brookman last night, al
though it was a heartbreaking ex-
perience for Ell, who had worked
like Trojan for the scrap No good
purpose would have been served by
allowing them to continue and
Brookman might have done himself
more harm than good in the public
eve. Apostoli, using both hands and
not hurrying, worked as though
anxious to go six or seven rounds
of the scheduled 1O-rounder to
further his comeback ambitions.
With all his power he couldn't keep
Brookman on the deck, but he might
have cut him up in later sessions.
Joey Archibald was like his old
self in moving down Billy Banks in
another 10. The half-pint puncher
carried every round on most score
sheets, although Banks rallied
in the sikh and seventh,
Well see more of Joey this winter.

Mrs. Theodore Peyser, club cham
pion at the Woodmont Country
Club and long an influential factor
in feminine golf affairs, holds the
important post of Nominating Com
mittee chairman of the Womens
District Golf Association today
as politics within the association
reaches the boiling point.
Every year at this time, toward
the end of the season, the politicos
move in on the feminine golf scene,
jockeying for their favorite candi-
dates for the honor posts in the links
organization which controls women's
golf affairs hereabouts with an iron
hand. This year is no exception,
and the political platform is crowded
with candidates and near candidates.
The Nominating Committee, which
consists of 13 members and the
chairman, must make its report
by 20 days prior to the annual meet
ing scheduled for Kenwood Decem-
Der 4. The report therefore must

Whether Mrs Walter L. Weible

will be the choice for president is
not known. Mrs. Weible has made
no decision. If custom of past
years is followed she will be elected
for a second term. Mrs. Ralph w.
Payne of Congressional, former
prexy, who has been urged to run
for reelection, is not a candidate,
she has said.

FIaherty Relentless
In Unprecedented
Redskin Drills
Determined to Erase
loekodoisieoI Spirit;
Beck Doomed to Go
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Possibilities of the second midsea-
son scrimmage in as many days
faced the somewhat dispirited Red
skins this morning as the extreme
penalty of the ak hung over the
head Of one Of their IA backs.
Identity of the Indian ball toter
to be released in lieu of Rookie Lee
Gentry of Tulsa, reclaimed yester-
day from the Long Island Indians,
was to be revealed at noon. The
Skins recalled Gentry Monday night,
simultaneously asking waivers on
one of the backs who has been with
the team since returning to the East.
If no other National League club
claims him, he will be released out
right.
Not since Ray Flaherty began
coaching the Redskins in 1886 had
he ever scrimmaged them after their
league campaign began like he did
yesterday and may do again today.
Coming on the first workout of the
week, usually the lightest. the con-
tact work bore striking testimony OF
Flaherty'S dissatisfaction with things
in general.
Fears OvercOnfidence.
Despite the poor tackling and
blocking which practice should i'm
prove, Flaherty is even more con-
cerned over the squads Indifferent
attitude toward the current part of
its schedule.
After the game with the Dodgers.
some of the boys got the idea they
could coast for a while" says Fla
herty. Games with Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and Cleveland didn't
strike them as hard as their follow
Ing meetings with the Bears, Dodg-
ers, Packers and Giants. Maybe last
Sundays scare in Pittsburgh has
knocked that idea out of their
heads. Then again. maybe not"
Flaherty's long has held there is
nothing quite SO stubborn as a foot
ball team which thinks it's better
than an imminent opponent and
refuses to 60 ''all out" in its prepa-
ration. Unquestionably. the Red
skins have had superior feeling
for more than a week now. Last
Sundays scare in Pittsburgh should
have knocked it out of them, but
If 1t didn't. then maybe this weeks
practice sessions will. For Flahertf
has intimated they'll all be long and
plenty tough.
The Eagles. whom the Skins will
meet in Philadelphia Sunday. aren't
a winning team yet. But they have
slightly better record than the
Steelers, whom they licked by almost
the same margin that the Redskins
did. New York whipped Philadel-
phia in two games. 24-0 and 1910.
and Brooklyn knocked off the
Eagles, 24-l3. ,4Ea
Young Team Improving.
With more freshmen than any
team in the league, the PhiHy team.
is said to- be improving steadily
under Greasey Neale's tueefage and.
with Owner Alexis Thompson ready
to back Neale with his millions, is
destined to be a power in the East
ern Division before long.
Among its 20-odd rockies are such
outstanding college stars as Sam
Bartholomew of Tennessee, Erwin
Elrod of Mississippi State. Yves Nc
Afee of Duke and Bob Suffridge of
Tennessee. The Eagles also have
more than their share of ex-George-
town stars, with Jim Castiglia. Joe
Frank and Lou Ghecas, all on the
roster.
1t is, in short, young team that
has as much spirit as a title con-
tender. That the Redskins will rec
ognize this before it Is too late Is
Flaherty's hope.

air force. Johns people were cer- tainly doign their bit.
 John Canada reflected. Here in Canada the war had seemed so re- mote. Canada had felt she should spring to arms when the blitzkrieg started. She felt more intensely about it than her good neighbor, the United States. John had come to take it for granted that the way of living in Canada and the United States ran in parallel lines. What happened in the United States all ways had its reflex in Canda. This time it was the other way around. WHAT-NO
 ORANGE JUICE?
 John Canada sat down to break fast. It wasn't the old pre-war breakfast. The finance minister had announced that Canada must live more to herself She must not inn port anything she did not really need. The foreign exchange situa- tion had stepped in.
 Many citrus fruits had been barred, and many other fruits cut of, even though they could not be grown in Canada's rigorous climate. John Canada had changed his breakfast food because his U. s. brand had been cut off.
 This exchange situation, he re- fected, played hob with his affairs. His New York trip had been one obstacle after another. He had to apply to his bank for American funds and had filled out forms ex- blaming why it was necessary for him to go on business. They would allow him no more money than for his actual needs, and on leaving and re-entering Canada he had signed a swor statement as to the amount of Canadian money he had taken out or brought back.
 TAXES BOOST
 COST OF WAR
 His wife turned on the radio What squawk! He had intended to give thu family a new one this year, but just before Christmas radios had been declared (by the finance mniister) to be non-essen- tials. Their importation had been prohibited and 25 per cent addi- tional excise tax placed on Canadian radios.
 He needed a new car. He had postponed getting it and then the

see that no bombs dropped on his home, that no machine guns stut- tered death down his street.
 Then came that line in the cas- ualty lists: Royal Canadian Navy Able Seaman John Manchester missing, believed killed"
 It jolted John Canada into re- ality. Young John was his nephew, his namesake, his godson. He had been morn on the western prairies, the mosetu nwarlike spot in the world. He had been bornu after the return of his father from the Great War.
 And now young John had gone down fighting on his little Canadian destroyer.
 Johns brother Harry was in the Canadian Active Service Force, somewhere in England, standing guard. The husbands of John S three sisters were in the army and

government decided automobiles were more or less in the luxury class and slapped new and heavier excise on them Importation of U. s. cars was prohibited and his favor ite had been an American car not made in Canada. The normal duties had been heavier enough, but now the new taxes made them prohibi- tive, even if they could be brought in.
 On a car priced at the factory at $500, there was a tax of 20 per cent; between $9O0 and $1200 there was the 20 per cent on the $500 and then 40 per cent on the excess over that. On a car over $120O there was 20 per cent on $500, 40 per cent on the extra $500 and 30 per cent on the excess over $1200. The car he usually got had manufacturers list of about $500. That meant he would have to pay more than $620 in excise alone. In the United States that car would cost him 5000 less than what he would have to pay in Canada.
 Mrs. Canada was busy with the vacuum cleaner. It was an early model. That was another thing he had intended to get for Christmas.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-16

But an excise tax of 25 per cent had been slapped on. It applied also to washing machines, electrical stoves and other necessities for the home. INCOME TAXES?
 WOW!
 John sighed and left the table Up in his room he noticed a press clipping on his desk. That was the biggest jolt of all. It outlined his income tax burden for the new year, a burden so heavy that he would have to pay it in instalments.
 His 194O income had been $6,700. But he had been taxed on it even before he received it. In the last six months of 194O his employer had deducted per cent from ev- cry pay check and sent to to the Dominion Treasury. But this 2 per cent was still included in his re- portable income; so he would be paying tax on that $67 he never received.
 He was allowed 1,50O exemption for his wife and $400 for each child. With three children that meant $2,700. So he had taxable income of $4,00O With the $67 already de-
