Triumph Over Tech
Reveals Power Of
|W.-L. Machine

Washington-Lee Highs first real
contest indicates the Generals have
q powerful football team. The vir-
ginia schools hard-tackling line and
plunging backs turned back a good
Tech eleven, 27-12, yesterday at
Ballston.
Last weeks game against National
Training School didn't provide
enough competition to prove any
thing, but yesterday the Generals
came through against strong opposi-
ton. Tech was plenty tough and
staged a strong comeback after
being showed under with two touch
downs in the first quarter.
Sprinkle Scores Three Times.
Eddie De Celle and Jim Sprinkle
were the big guns, De Celle with
one touchdown and Sprinkle provid-
ing the other three Jim tailed on
w. LIS first play after the Generals
recovered Tech tumble on the 40.
While the Maroons still were dazed
by this quick turn, Washington-Lee zee
marched 55 yards for It's second
score, De Celle smashing S yards
through center for the marker.
The Generals made touchdowns In
each of the next two periods. a
second-period drive Of 70 yards send
ing Sprinkle across. In the third
Sprinkle again proved the star by
grabbing the ball as 1t popped from
Dan O'Connell's arm and sprinting
10 yards.
Bauer and Flocker Star.
Techs outstanding players were
little Monk Bauer, a thick legged
plunger, sprinter and passer, and
Joe Flocker, his big running mate.
Bauer almost alone carried on Techs
first touchdown march, plunging
over from 2 yards out in the second
period. In the last quarter, John
Harvill set up Techs other score by
intercepting a pass on Washington
Lees 30. There F1ocker took over
and in three plays pushed across.
One bad break Of the game went
against Tech. On the kickoff after
Washington-Lee's third-period score,
O'Connell romped 80 yards for
touchdown only to have the play
called back because Of illegal forma-
ton.

EXTRA SUGAR FOR
 LOCAL HOUSEWIVES
Certificates Being Issued By Local Rationing Board
 Today, Tomorrow

Today and tomorrow will be the last opportunity Waterbury house. wives will have this year to obtain extra sugar for canning. The ex- tension period is only for those that did not register in August.
 Certificates are being issued at the board headquarters in the Mat tatuck Building, 119 West Main street from 10 a. m. to noon and 2 to { p. m. Twelve volunteers will be on hand to aid with the regis tration. The number of registrants is not expected to reach the pro- portions of last month when almost 1000 mobbed the board for extra sugar rations in one day. It is es- timated that about 500 will seek certificates each day.
 Sugar for the canning of toma- toes and the home making of wine will not be granted the local board announced. The Hartford office has stated that tomatoes are clas- sified as vegetables by OPA offic- ials. Certificates are granted only for the canning of fruit and fruit juices. One pound of sugar is al- lowed for each four quarts of fin- iShed fruit.
 Registration will take place in the auditorium of the Mattatuck building on the second floor. Ap- plicants are asked Co enter through the side door.

LISTS OF NAMES
 TO BE GUARDED
Special PrecautiOn Urged By War Department on
 Absentee Voters

Lists of absentee voters who are in the armed forces will be kept under special guard at the city hall, 1t is announced by Town Clerk Mary o. Kilmartin. The step has been taken at the request of Sec- retary of State Chase Going Wood- house.
 The War Department asked the secretary of state to instruct town clerks to keep the lists under guard lest they furnish information to the enemy on troop disposition.
 Said Mrs. Woodhouse in her let- ter to the town clerk:
 We have recently received letter from the War Depart ment of the United States gov ernment on the filling out of ap- plications for absentee ballots by members of the armed forces of the United States.
 The War Department has asked that only the name, rank, unit and approved A. P. o. number be requested If the voter is overseas or only the Approved Army camp or sta ton address if he is serving within the continental limits of the United States. AS you may recall, we have indicated previ- ously that the failure to give a

Some time since 1t was esti- mated that one-fifth of the nations people had been uprooted and shift sd. When you consider the number

of dependents involved we may well wonder whether the proportion may not be 8 third or even Q half of our total population before we are i'm. ished with the business. Some of the shifts and readjustrnents can be made comparatively easily, others mean changes which are drastic. From the point of view of the coE1i- rnuYities involved, some will be de. pleted and impoverished, others will be ovrcrowded and congested.
 'Now the Church of Christ has something very vital at stake in all this. It is not simply that smaller rural communities and cities which have few or no war industries are losing considerable proportion of their residents, the churches in those same cities are losing a large proportion of their active member ship. Bear all that in mind when you consider what the influx of war workers means in 8 city like Water bury. By and large the Christian cause must suffer grievously unless the churches in centers like Water bury help to take up the slack, un- less we make a determined and in- telligent effort to extend the bounds of our efforts and service. The times do indeed sound "A Call to Serv- ice" They constitute in themselves a rare opportunity to display Chris tian statesmanship on the one hand and Q very humble. friendly, un- assuming and genuinely Christian neighborliness on the other.
 T hope and pray that I can send every worshipper from this service with a resolute determination to render particular and personal service to the church and the king dom through these coming months. Whether you have realized 1t or not you live by the side of the road and 1t is your Christian calling to be a friend to man. Where you discover interest in the church or any one of our various groups, or where you discover any kind of service, aid, counsel, help needed make a care- full note on a card or a slip of pa- per and put it on the plate or send 1t in by mail. Don't be afraid to duplicate names or information we already have but be very sure that we are informed when 1t is possible that the ministers or the officers in the group may have failed to dis cover what has been brought to your attention. We need Christian volunteers and an army of them. The service you render will bring you rich dividends and resound to the strength of the Kingdom of God and the Church of Christ"
