MOTORISTS MUST
use PATCHED UP
'43 LICENSE TAGS

National defense priorities in the
matter of steel, will make it neces.
sary for Maryland motorists to use
patched up or reenameled 1912 Ii
cense plates for 1943 it was disclosed
last night by w. Lee Elgin, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles.
With other motor vehicle officials
from all States in the East, Mr.. FL
gin was summoned Sc veral days ago,
he said, to a conference in the offices
of the office of Production Manage
ment, in Washington at which they
were told that steel or new plates
would positively not" be Forthcoming
in 1943.
Regardless of whether it already is
on order, as is the case in Maryland,
the officials were told that deliveries
would be blocked by the OPM, Mr..
Elgin said.
AS substitute, he said, OPM off
cials recommended that windshield
stickers be used to indicate that tax
es had been paid, but vehicle officials
opposed the idea "from the point of
view of enforcement"
Mr.. Elgin explained that hit-run
drivers, criminals and other law vio-
lators could not be traced or identi-
fled readily under tn proposed stick
er system. The motor vehicle Off
cials objected on similar grounds to
the suggestion of OPM authorities
that one tag be used.
One solution to the problem, Mr..
Elgin said, might be the use of tax
stickers in conjunction with 1912 Ii
cense plates in 1943. Toward that
end, he disclosed, a more durable
paint already is being applied to 1912
tags, the manufacture of which is
now more than half completed.
He also is considering the use of
tachable steel plates which would
bear the 1943 date and could be bolt
ed on 1912 tags, covering up the dates

With Morris Brown already the
sports writer's conception of 1871
nation football king, the tusslo will
take on the complexion of box
ing scrap in which challenger
meets champion. In this instance
the Lion of the Southwest will be
seeking a win over the national
monarch.
Morris Brown is the lone un-
beaten united football team in the
nation. They have 10 wins against
no defeats for l941 and a skein of
16 straight football victories. In
winning their 10 games this year,
the Wolverines scored 1879 points
while giving up SO. John big
Train) Moody, the nations lead
ing point maker, compiled 81 tai
lies. His team mate, Joe Jenkins,
amass.d AZ points for sixth place
in the national scoring.
By winning from the N. c. State
Eagles, 7 to 6, in the Peach Clas-
sic at Columbus, Ga, Morris
Brown duplicated their record of
last year when they won the ma
tional championship, the STAG IT,
tie and the Atlanta city diadem.
This was the first time in the grid
history of Morris Brown that they
have finished a regular football
season unbeaten.
With the exception Of Prairie
Viaw, Langston, coached by Zip
Gayles, is the nations only seven
gme winner. Against the Gayles-
men is a tie and one defeat.
Langston earned 81 points while
yielding 45. The Lions are in a
third-place deadlock with the N.
C. Eagles in the national standing
Of 20 teams, being rated higher

The Eagles Saturday were sur
rrisingly strong. They struck
quickly, thunderously and almost
VIGOROUSLY. The first half was
all theirs. They hung around Nor
ris Browns goal line but lacked
the power tc go over except once.
On the third play of the game,
Roy Moore, Eagle end, slashed
through and blocked Moody's punt,
scooped up the leather and shot
for a touchdown. The pass from
center was had and the conversion
failed.
Brown came back and blocked
second Moody punt which went
for naught. Then he partially
blocked a third nunt. That's like
hitting two homers and triple,
blocking punts like that.
The Eagles led at half time,
6 to 0.
Morris Brown came back in the
second half hot. Penalties and
fumbles halted their first touch
down drive. Duffield, sub back,
came into the game and set up
the Wolverine touchdown with a
50-yard dash. Joe Jenkins and
Moody alternated in carrying the
ball to the 3-yard line with Moody
lamming It over. Moody then boot
ed the extra, or winning point.
