NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-George
Washington University's football
team moves out of the trial stage
here tonight to tackle tough Man.
haitian College club in game that
will give Coach Bill Reinhart far
better line on the possibilities of
the 194l Colonials than was supplied
in the opener with Mount ST. Mary's
last week.
Manhattan was caught off guard
here a year ago by George Wash
ington and the Colonials marched
off the Polo Grounds SCARED turf
with a 21-18 decision. This time,
however, the Jaspers are well pre-
pared. They know what they face
and Herb Kopf is too canny a coach
to be caught mapping twice by the
same opponent. Consequently, Rein
hart knows that Manhattan will be
thorough test for G. w, perhaps
one of the toughest hurdles of the
campaign.
Some Questions for Reinhart.
Reinhart can place confidence in
his first-string line. With the ex-
ception of Walter Murphy, sopho-
more right tackle, it is a line that
is seasoned and smart. 1t has pro-
greSsed rapidly under Line Coach
Gene Shields experienced hand the
past two weeks, and Murphy, rated
off his strong play against Mount
oy-t-ic will toi i,ol, liz
bility.
But what about the attack, both
on the ground and in the air? This
is any grid coach's biggest problem,
under ordinary circumstances, and
Reinhart is no exception. And most
of all. what about the reserves? Will
they stand the pressure under fire?
These are the big questions that will
be partially answered for Oregon
Bill and his assistants tonight.
The Manhattan over-confidence
which certainly figured in the result
OF this game year ago, is no longer
present. The Colonials are respect
ed by the Jaspers. The game is rated
toss-up here, although most OBJ
servers lean to the home club.
Walter Fedora, George Washing
tons capable ball-carrying fullback,
who ripped the Manhattan line for
great gains in the last meeting, has
been singled out for particular at
tention this week in Kopf's defen-
sive preparations, so much that
Reinhart may shift his attack bit
to use Fedora chiefly as a threat,
with Slick GudmundSon and Stub
Martinson handling a major part of
the ball carrying This trio, with
Senior Babe Nugent in the quarter
back blocking slot, will make up the
starting backfield for G.. w.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 3.-The
casual visitor to Old Nassaus campus
comes away with the impression that
the Princeton football team this year
is going to do all its charging on
treadmills.
From Head Coach Tad Wieman of
the scholarly demeanor to the most
humble freshman, the football fore
cast is of ponderous, painfully slow
eleven taking to the ground after
three years of aerial attack piloted
by Dave Allerdice, greatest passer in
Tiger history.
Perhaps the princeton prophets
have something there. Eight success
sive Saturdays will tell how much
changed the Tiger gridsters will be
now that the Indiana lad has re-
ceived his diploma and joined the
Army Air Corps. With Allerdice
went all of the aerial circus except
big Bob Peters of Kingsport, Tenn,
halfback around whom Wieman has
built his 1941 team.

Husky Eagles 10 Face
Rugged Opposition
In Susquehanna
Invading Crusaders Not
Defeated or Tied in
Lost Campaign

Boosting the largest squad in It's
history and brand-new "V' forma-
ton that appears to have much
potential power, American Univer-
sity will send out its 1941 football
squad for its first trial run tomor-
row at Woodrow Wilson High School
stadium. The kickoff is scheduled
for 2:30 o'clock.
Opposition, and plenty of it, will
be supplied by Susquehanna, one
OF the few united. unbeaten elevens
of last year and one of the tough
est schools its size in the East.
Coached by Alonzo Stagg. jr., Sus-
quehanna owns the enviable reputa-
ton of being one of the Smartest
of the little schools and never fails
to play good, sound and sometimes
sensational football.
American Pointed for Game.
But American has pointed for this
game. Coach Staff CaSSell believes
his team will be mighty hard to
beat the rest of the year if it hurdles
the Pennsylvanians and has left no
stone unturned to accomplish that
feat. Susquehanna got off on the
wrong foot last week in bowling to
a heavier Buffalo eleven, 1910, and
will be trying to even up its l94l
record.
Although American has a bumper
crop of minor bruises it will have
most of its men ready for the game
and for the first time since he took
command Casseu will not be worried
about suitable reserves. The Eagles
are big, too, Bart Fugler, back,
goes 1870 pounds and Fred Sharran,
another ball toter, tips the beam at
215. In the line are bruisers like
Capt. Kenny Fox, 2l0 pounds; Fran
els Riley, 100; Merrill Hoover, 2l0;
Jim Petro, 1885, Ray Shepherd, 229,
and Ted StaWicki, 200.
Because of an epidemic of minor
injuries. Cassell probably will not
name his starting eleven until after
today's practice, but most Of those
mentioned will get the call if ready
Plays Are Deceptive.
Americans new W" formation
definitely not a gag, generates a
lot of power and deception that
Cassell feels will give his boys the
edge. The coach has worked out
several series of plays that have
more deception than a mystery play
and is quite confident that when
his boys spring the trap on Staggs S
pupils it'll work.
The Crusaders, however, simply
will not roll over and play dead for
the hosts. Susquehanna's reputa-
ton is too well established for any
show of overconfidence by A. U
The visitors didn't have Larry
Isaacs, their best ball carrier, in
last weeks game and while the re-
port Is that Isaacs will not be avail
able this week either the Eagles are
discounting it as bear" talk. They'll
have a warm reception ready Just
In case.

Slow, Ponderous Eleven Seen
For Princeton With Peters
Its Lone Versatile Back

Donning his uniform in Osborne
Fieldhouse before practice, Tad took
a few moments to talk about his
charges. Of course, he said, Prince
ton was not junking its pass attack.
After building it up for three years
it would be silly to discard it.
But" he said, with just trace Of
a smile, Il can't figure out play on
which Peters can throw and receive
at the same time"
Peters is good pasSer, but he also
is the best receiver on the team. All
of Allerdice's other 1910 catchers are
gone.
To cope with the situation Wieman
has decided to abolish the short punt
formation, from which Allerdice did
his damage, in favor of the single
wing From this Pinceton will op-
crate a more balanced attack, with
greater emphasis on running.
But we're not as fast as I had
hoped" Wieman explained The
backfield is heavy, but it's also slow
And we don't seem able to get the
guards out of the line fast enough
for effective interference"
The first-string backfeld of Peters,
who also kicks and runs; Bob
Perina, Ed Rose and Tom Irwin
averages 200 pounds, and runs to
power instead of speed, not because
I like them that way but because
that's what I got" To neip remedy
this situation Track Coach Matty
Gels is out every day trying to
develop more speed.
The Tigers may need all they can
get, for after opening against a
strong Williams team tomorrow, they
will meet Columbia. PENNSYLVANIA,
Vanderbilt, Harvard, Dartmouth,
Yale and Navy. The Yale and
Vanderbilt games will be away from
home, the latter marking Princeton s
first southern football trip.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March g.
Naval Academy officials said tonight
two motor launches and a sub
chaser would drag the Severn River
again tomorrow in the search for
three boys who disappeared in row.
boats on the blizzard-swept river.
Hope for the boys safety waned
as clothing identified as theirs was
found, along with two small boats,
on the shore near Herald Harbor.
Searching parties continued hunt
ing along the shore for the three un-
til nightfall.
Two of the boys, Ned Chambers
and Ray Cunningham, both II, dis
appeared late yesterday when they
pushed out in a leaky rowboat in
an effort to recover a floating bench.
The third, Jerry Almond, 18, went
out in a second boat to try to res
cue them.
One boat found along the shore
was capsized and severely battered.
The other was right-side up but
filled with water.
A cap, mittens, windbreaker and
two sweaters found in the boat and
floating nearby were identified by
parents, searchers said.
The windbreaker was said to have
been identified as belonging to the
Almond boy.
A third boat was found near the
boats belonging to the missing boys.
This had been turned loose at the
point where the boys embarked to
discover where they might have
been carried by tide and current, it
was said, and apparently followed
much the same course as the other
boats.

Navy Department
Employees 5tartNew
Schedule Tomorrow
Night Shift Muy Be
Begun Within Next
Few Weeks

A new schedule of working hours
for clerical employees in the Navy
Department will be inaugurated to-
morrow. due to the increased pres
sure of national defense business.
A night shift will probably be
started in several weeks. The date
has not been set, pending receipt
of reports on work needs by the
various bureau chiefs.
Similar to the regular summer
working day, the hours will be from
am. to 3:45 pm. on Monday. Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday. On
Friday employees will report at 8
am. and leave at $3.50 pm. The
Saturday. working period will ex-
tend from 8 am. to noon.
Maintains 40-Hour Week.
The new schedule still maintains
the 40-hour week, it was pointed
out. Hours of duty for those en-
ployes whose assignments require
other work time will be adjusted
accordingly, it was said. The new
regulations affect the Navy De-
partment only and do not include
the Navy Yard.
The contemplated night shift is
needed to handle the extra work
now being carried over from day
to day, it was explained When it
is established. a 15-minute overlap
will be provided so that incoming
and outgoing workers may exchange
instructions in order TO preserve
the continuity of the work.
Night Working Hours.
When the night work is started,
the hours will be from $3.50 pm. to
Ills pm. from Monday to Thurs
day inclusive. On Friday, the hours
will be from BIS pm. to 10:45 pm.
The Saturday work day will extend
from 11:45 am. to 3:45 pm.
Officials had no estimate on the
exact number of Navy Department
employees to be affected by the new
order. At present, there are more
than 5000 civilians employed there.
With officers and enlisted men, the
number is well over 5000 persons.
Meanwhile, the Capital Transit
Co. was completing plans for re-
organizing it's streetcar and bus
service in the region of the Navy
Building. A spokesman for the COM
pany estimated that 40 per cent of
those working in the building use

I'VE have lost in station houses
and personnel while the city has
gained in population" Fire Chief
Stephen Porter points out.
Probably more so now than at
any other time, the Fire Depart
ment plays an important part in
any long-range program of defense
work. Every contingency must be
considered when nation arms for
defense and the demands on the
personnel of fire departments are
well illustrated in the events of re-
cent months in London and other
English cities.
Face Difficult Problems.
"You can't make fireman over
night" Chief Porter remarked.
But even peace-time conditions
such as now prevail here present
difficult problems.
The faSt-growing area across the
Anacostia River presents one prob
lem. In his 1912 budget estimate,
Chief Porter asked for S2,693, l55, an
increase over the 1941 appropriation
of 1892 $50.
He requested funds for personnel
and equipment for a truck company
to be housed across the Anacostia
River and asked for a new station
house in the Fort Totten Park area,
for which a company would be
moved from another section.
In addition. Chief Porter re-
quested the restoration of Is men
taken from the department under
the 1910 budget. This was not
granted. The Budget Bureau ap-
proved an estimate of S2,443, ,045 for
the department, which authorized
the purchase of new fire boat.
More Firemen Urgently Needed.
The department chief also asked
that he be authorized to get five
additional men for the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau, the duties of which
now are more important than ever.
The present physical plant of the
department includes 36 buildings,
"a of which house stations, and two
of which are used for storage. There
are 80 engine companies, Is truck
companies, 2 rescue squads, fire.
boat and 2 water toWerS-the long
telescoped fire towers.
In 1890, Chief Porter pointed out,
there was one fireman for about
every $50 persons. On the basis of
the 1910 census there was only one
fireman for every 1853 persons.
Now, Chief Porter said, it is safe
to say there is not even one fireman
for every 800 persons. There are
fewer firemen per square mile in
Washington than in the average
large city in the Nation, he said.
Housing an Acute Problem.
One acute problem at present,
he said, is the amount of space
available as dormitories for the per-
sonnel. In many of the depart
ment'S buildings there are twice as
many men housed as there we're
before the department was required
to double up for economic reasons.
In addition to answering calls in
the District, the Washington Fire
Department must stand ready for
call into some of the nearby areas.
This was illustrated last week
when District apparatus was called
in to help fight a fire on the Gov
ernment military reservation at
Fort Myer, Va.
District officials believe that if
Congress should adopt the Overton
formula, providing Federal share
in District expenses that would be
in the same ratio as Government
owned property to the total area
of the District, the increased lump
sum provided might give the Fire
Department much needed help.
Under the Overton plan, the Fed
eral share would be increased from
S6,OOOOOO to approximately $9,000,-

In March, Beware Of:
1. Crossing a street at a point
other than a crosswalk. Four
pedestrians were killed doing
this in March, 1910. Three of
these were over IS years of age.
2. Standing in the street. A
93-year-old man lost his life do
ing this in March of last year.
The sixth traffic victim during
March, 1910, was a passenger on
a truck who was crushed be-
meath a spool Of cable when the
truck overturned.
