The verse follows:
Veterans Heart"
1 am weary. Yet, if Fate should
say to me,
Crest, Soldier, rest. Dismiss
ed. Put down your pack. =
Each nerve and muscle would
make tired urgent plea
To listen and obey. A mo-

While sleeps insistent fingers
press against my eyes
And langour's slow drugged
wine dulls sounds of
strife,
Until my Veteran Heart, protest
ing, cries,
Fall in, Soldier. Forward.

ADEQUATELY ANSWERED

Editor, The Citizen:
In your issue of The Citizen
published Wednesday, October
Fl, an article appeared under
Peoples Forum signed by a tax
payer, who evidently was afraid
to give his name, undoubtedly in
tending to criticize my office
because he cannot purchase a
drivers license at this time with
out first taking a drivers ex-
animation before a state patrol
man.
Since this party knew about
the Peoples Forum in your pa
per, he undoubtedly reads The
Citizen, and, if he does, then he
should have read the numerous
articles published in your paper
regarding the sale of these Ii
censes. Did this person not read
through the columns of your pa
per that he did not have to call
at my office for a license but
that this could have been handled
by mail? A list of places where
he could have secured the appli-
cation blank, which were all
over the city. was published in
your paper. Immediately upon
1receipt of applications through
the mail, the licenses were mail
edA back. to the applicants.
J. Again, did this person not read
in your paper that my office kept
open four nights inorder to take
care OF those persons whose
working hours conflieted with my
regular office hours? That during
the last two days of sale, my
office was kept open until the
last applicant was taken care of?
And again, did this person not
have some relative who could
have called at my office and Sc
cured his license for him? Hun
dreds of defense workers had
some relative take care of this
for them and it was done in a
satisfactory manner
This person reminds me of a
salesman who called at my office
the very next day after we stop
ped the sale without examination.
told him that he was just one
day teos late and would have to
take an examination. Angrily he
said that he worked nights and
slept during the day and was un-
able to call. My remark was: We
have been selling licenses sduring
the past 40 days and you slept
each sday during this time. just
why are YOU not asleep now or
the 41st day?
For the taxpayers information,
he can take an examination from
to 5 o. m. during Tuesdays and
Fridays of each week. We have
a courteous and patriotic patrol
man who endeavors to clear de-
tense workers so they can return
to their work. One does not have
to spend more than 10 or Is min
utes from the time he arrives.
If the taxpayer is still disSat-
isfied, then l suggest that he
write to w. B, Lindsay, super
visor of Drivers Licenses. ITALIA

receive my orders.

Leaf and Black Hawk
Victories Tighten
Hockey Scrap
Py the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The battle for the lead In the
National Hockey League became a
three-way affair today and Chi
cago's Black Hawks were threaten
ing to muscle in among the top
trio-New York, Boston and To-
ronto.
While New York's league-leading
Rangers and the second-place Bos-
ton Bruins were idle last night
the Toronto Maple Leafs polished
off the last-place Montreal Cana
diens, Ga, and Chicago whipped
Detroit, AZ.
AS a result only two points sep
arate Toronto and Boston, which
is only two points away from the
Rangers. And the Black Hawks
are trailing the Leafs by only four
points.
Montreal's defeat left the Cana
diens in the cellar, three points be-
hind the idle Brooklyn Americans
and the Detroit Red Wings, who
remained in a birthplace deadlock
by virtue of Detroit's failure to
achieve as much as tie last night.

Hockey RivoIs Clash
On Riverside Ice

The Baltimore Orioles, who re-
main the favorite sparring partners
of the Washington Eagles, invade
Riverside Stadium tonight seeking
to whittle the Eagles fourth place
margin in the Eastern Amateur
Hockey League to three points.
Champion and runnerup respec-
lively in the league last season,
Washington and Baltimore have
found the going tougher this time
but the intensity Of their feud hasn't
diminished as two scraps in the
Orioles last appearance here would
indicate.
On that occasion the Eagles Art
Lessard dealt a trimming to Meyer
Flett and Washingtons Rolly Nc
Lenahan and little Ned Vitareln
also exchanged blows.
Washington must cling to fourth
place to be included automatically
in the Eastern League playoffs. Bal

Overtime Contest

Height is a handy asset on a bas-
ket ball court. The feet, 2 inches
sported by Johnny Grinnell, Wash

was responsible for the 1927 over
time victory the Generals won over
Roosevelt yesterday at Ballston.
Twice in the extra three minutes
Grinnell tipped missed foul shots
into the hoop to give the Generals
their edge. Washington-Lee led all
the way until Roosevelt staged
a last-period drive led by Charley
Howard and Preston Wannan that
tied the game at 25-25 shortly before
regulation time ended.
In the overtime session Howard
bagged one basket for Roosevelt
and missed one that rolled around
the hoop as the extra period ended
Bob Phillips led Washington-Lee
scoring with nine points, followed
bv Grinnell with eight.

Misfortune Stalking
Rip|ey-Coached 6. u.
For First Time
Loss to Dukes Despite
Fine PIoy Is Typical
OF Hoyos' Poor Luck

For the first time since he took
the helm from Fred Mesmer in
1887, q year that saw pretty hor-
rible Heya outfit win only eight Of
20 games. Elmer Ripley seems to be
headed for q disastrous record with
his Georgetown basket ballers.
Last nights 40-35 setback by Du-
quesne in an overtime session at
Riverdale was the eighth defeat for
the Hilltoppers, who have only six
victories to show for their efforts,
yet it was one Of their best exhibi-
tions of the campaign.
Fine Effort Wasted.
TT was the Syracuse game all
over" Ripley comented at the finish.
I'VE played our best game up there
and 1t wasn't even close. Buddy
O'Grady played the most spectacu-
lar game I've ever seen in college
basket ball UP there, but everything
Syracuse threw went into the basket
and while we had the polish they
had the points. That's what counts.
"At least this one was close and
we had a chance, but it's tough to
lose 'em like that. Duquesne is
good despite its losses to Long Island
and st. Joe's, and it would have been
a feather in our cap to win this one.
But we didn't-we couldn't after
Bornheimer and O'Grady went out
on fouls in the extra period-and
suppose there's no use crying over 1t.
At least we weren't disgraced."
The Hoyas could have used Ken
Engles last night-badly. But the
tall, curly-haired forward was at
his New York home on a sad mis-
sion. His mother died after brief
illness. Engles was called home
last week when the gravity of his
mothers condition became appar-
ent. He rejoined the squad in
Philadelphia for the game with
St. Joseph's when she improved,
but returned home Immediately
after and since has been absent.
Duquesne Checks Martin.
Don Martin, midget forward, kept
the Hoyas in the running in the
first half, scoring all of his nine
points in that period and sinking
the shot that tied it up at l9-all
at the half. But the Dukes put him
under close surveillance in the final
period and shut him out.
Duquesne came from behind twice
in the last three minutes to over
take Georgetown at 33-all and again
at 35-all Just when 1t seemed the
Hoyas had matters under control.
Stan Noska pocketed the tying shot
and made another in the overtime
after Ken Black had launched the
scoring that helped clinch the ball
game.
