Naval Training Station outfit that
had captured % successive games
must rank as the seasons outstand-
Ing feat. That same Norfolk Navy
tenn had walloped G. w. by Is
points In their first meeting and to
Georgetown it dealt a 57-42 spank
ing.
That victory was George WASH
ington's eighth straight and tonight
1t will be favored to make it No. 9
when 1t clashes with William and
Mary. The Colonials own an en-
viable record of 10 wins in Is games,
but Georgetown's record is better.
Lose by Not Freezing Boil
Georgetown has snatcned 10 deci-
sions In IS games. including a win
over George Washington by a IL
point margin. 1t owns a 2-point
triumph over the Quantico Marines,
who whipped G. w. by two points.
Merely by freezing the ball in the
Meeting seconds of the game G, w.
could have won that one, but by the
same token Georgetown could have
prevented a 52-5l loss to Temple
through the same tactics.
G. w. can't dispute Georgetown's
top ranking by any stretch of the
imagination, but it can dream. It
can dream of knocking Georgetown
out Of bid to Madison Square Gar
den's invitational tournament and
perhaps grasping that bid for itself.
To do that the Colonials face
tortuous uphill battle that would
necessitate beating Georgetown as
the climax and then winning the
Southern Conference tournament as
an anti-climax. It's a large order,
but G. w. has chance. It's come a
long way since dropping successive
decisions to Norfolk Navy, Quantico
Marines and Georgetown more than
. month ago. ...
In Its remaining six games before
facing Georgetown at Teen High
gym on March /, G. w. will be
favored. After the William and Mary
engagement tonight the Colonials
must face Washington and Lee twice,
v. M. I. twice and Duke. The tough
est assignment will be Duke. which
has improved tremendously since
absorbing q 1888 defeat by G.. w.
in their first collision.
Moy Wind Up All Even

Moy Wind Up All Even

BY winning their next six straight
the Colonials would carry 14-game
winning streak and a 1873 record
into the Georgetown game. George

enter that game with 17-2 record.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-02-08

1t is the Colonials' hope that both
records read like that when the
game materializes and that both
records will be identical at 1873 after
the brawl is over
Neither Georgetown nor George
Washington is reduced to making

ules The Hoyas have had some soft

st. Bonaventure and Scranton added
little luster to Ieorgetown's sched-
ule, either, but generally the cpposi-

match Georgetown's. In defeating
such teams as Oklahoma A. and M,
Norfolk Navy, Duke, North Caro-
lima, N, c. State. Maryland. Army,
N. c. Navy Pre-Flight and Virginia
its margin usually has been only

item.

GALL CLEAR" AIR RAID SIGNAL
FROM WELFARE HOME WHISTLE

The "All Clear" air raid signal
for Smyrna will be indicated by a
long blast on the whistle at the
State Welfare Home, it has been
announced by the Civilian Defense
Council here. At recent meeting
of the council, it was also announc-
ed that should the town electric
current be cut off, through break
down or for any other reason, the
entire air raid warning series would
be given by the State Welfare
Home whistle. In this event, all
except the ALI Clear signal would be
indicated by a series of short blasts.
This step was found necessary by
council because without electricity,
the siren at the fire hall, which is
electrically operated, would be use
less.
Arm Bands For Workers
Two groups of Civilian Defense
workers, the first aid corps and the
nurses aides, will wear arm bands
in the future, it was decided by the
Council. During recent air raid
tests, the criticism was offered that
the first aid workers were not dis
tinguishable from other civilian de-
tense volunteers, and that some in

AN APPEAL TO SMYRNA
By George w. Wright, Chairman
REQ Cross War Fund Drive

Last year the Red Cross War
Fund Drive was imperative. This
year it is More Imperative The
cruel hands of War have knocked
at our very doors. To disregard
the distress that such calamity
brings is impossible. The present
day modes of transportation and
communication have made all the
nations of the world neighbors. No
longer are we removed from events
on the other side of the world. No
longer are the oceans protection
from invasion. No longer can we
authoritatively say, ut can't hap
pen here" Today at our very door
step lie the prosecuted Czechs and
Poles, and the cowed French. While
just beyond our doorstep are our
boys, our own flesh and blood, who
fully expect to inherit the richness
and fullness of America; standing
side by side with our Allies. Their
task is great, for they are actually
engaged in fighting the most terri
BILE war that mankind has ever
known. If this be true, and it sure
ly is, we have duty to inquire of
ourselves, what are we doing. Now
an opportunity is being given to
everyone to contribute to the Red
Cross. To meet the urgent need
for funds that the Red Cross must
have, everyone must contribute.
The Red Cross. is equipped and
ready, but they are calling upon
you to add this necessary financial
preparation that will enable them
to render a great additional service.
While our fellow men suffer, we
ponder and wait. We must realize
that contributions should be made
NOW. Later may be too late. Give
the most you can to the Red Cross.

this group, and the nurses aides
would be easily recognizable. The
arm bands are being made by Mrs.
Grant CARTS, and will be white with
a red cross. Two first aid workers
will be assigned to each air raid
post during the next test raid, the
Council announced.
Test Raid Tonight
A test air raid warning will be
sounded tonight, Mayor R. F. Cor
ley, chairman of the Civilian De-
tense Council has announced. This
is part of the tests being carried
out through the states of Delaware,
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The
practise blackout will follow this
schedule: Blue signal at $50, Red
signal at 9:10, Blue signal at 800
and All Clear at $50. This test
will require the full mobilization of
all civilian defense workers. The
Motor Corps will wear their newly
acquired uniforms. The Blue signal
will be continuous long blast, the
Red signal series of short blasts,
and the All Clear as stated above.
The all clear will be sounded from
the Welfare Home only. The siren
in Smyrna will not be blown at the
all clear.

THE WEAKER" SEX?
Girl Furnace Stoker at State We'll
fare Home Here

Miss Margaret Summons, %
years old, former attendant and
telephone operator for the State
Welfare Home, is now rated as as
sistant engineer of the institution.
Her duties include the shoveling of
coal to fire the homes large boilers
and the operation of two large
Diesel engines. Members of the
joint legislative committee inspect
ing the institution were surprised
to see the young woman, clad in
overalls, doing this work. Help
shortage, however, necessitated the
move. She is believed to be the
only woman handling this type of
work in a state institution. A
young lady barber also is on duty
at the home.
