philadelphia would have licked
any club the way it played in the
first 10 minutes of that game" he
said last night. But after that
Pittsburgh settled down and played
good ball and it looked to me that it
really wasn't ready for the game
I think it will be different this time. -
From Pittsburgh comes word that
the combine has added Don Cur
rivan, regular right end of the Cardi-
mails last season. With Eddie Rucin-
ski already in uniform, the club now
has the two regular wingmen from
last years Cardinal eleven. Curri-
van was undecided about playing
football this season, hence his late
start.
Johnny Grigas, former Holy Cross
fullback. has shaken off the charley
horse he got in the Philadelphia
game and will be in on the opening
kickoff. Grigas is key man in
the Pitt offense, particularly effec-
tive at line smashing Connie Baker,
a guard, who injured his leg, is the
only man who may not be ready
for the game.
Tidbit for Home Fans.
De Groot, after sending the Red
skins through brisk workout yes
terday, said he probably would Jug
gle the starting lineup to put boys
from the Pittsburgh area on the
field at the opening whistle. In
cluded in this group are Fullback
Mike Micka, Frank Walton, guard,
and Barney Feltz, center
De Groot hasn't made up his mind
whether Andy Farkas will get into
the game or not, although Andy's
knee is sound He is ready and will

opener still three weeks away, Is
taking every precaution to keep the
few veterans left intact and in good
working order for the pay-off games.
Exhibition victories are impressive,
but don't count in the title race.
The Tribes ,coach left last night
for Buffalo, where he will scout the
New York Giants against the Bears
this afternoon and will rejoin the

Only about half the Redskins will
return to Washington after the

stand up, but I didn't mind. There
were many Italian soldiers there
also. That hangar was pretty well
filled UP last night, and there
were many of us that received holy
Communion. 1t wasn't a beautiful
church like we have back home,
but 1t certainly served its purpose.

Meanwhile the two minor chill
dren, Alden and Margaret Atchi-
son, today filed a counter-finding
IN superior court setting forth their
claims to the 5000 estate Of their
father, the late Lawrence Atchison
Of Middlebury, and reporting vari-
Gus facts in the litigation.
The papers filed today disclose
an unofficial conversation con-
Quoted by Attorney Harry Albert, a
second counsel of the children, and
Mr.. Cassidy, who represents Law
renee Lewis. the will executor, and
during which a proposal was made
70 end the long drawn cut and ex-
pensive litigation with an agree
ment whereby the children would
receive support allowances until
they are 81 year old. The terms
we're suggested by Mr. Albert, In an
unofficial capacity, but were re-
Iected by the estates lawyer, 1t was
revealed.
Under the children's proposal
hey would have sought an order
from probate court whereby they
would each receive SIS monthly
throughout their infancy. At the
present time an order exists for
such payments but only until Oct.
"a, 1914. two years from the date
Of the death of their father. The
proposed additional payments would
involve the total sum Of $4,000, 1t
was pointed out. Margaret Is II
years old and Alden, IL.
The adjustment offer was reject
ed by the estate which indicated
that under no circumstances would
the will contest be settled or dis
posed Of other than through the
''full. final, and complete judgment
Of the appropriate courts of the
state"
In one part of the new document
the children say, 1T was claimed
oy cCunsel for the appellants that

in an effort to save expense and
avoid litigation and depletion of the
Atchison funds, 1t has been reported.
Prior to the entry Of the dismissal
motion three special appeals in the
case we're already pending before the
supreme court as well as the chill
dren's appeal from Judge McEvoy's
Judgment setting aside the jury YER
dict which originally broke the will.
It Is unwise to mix different types
Of anti-freeze, for the chemicals in
the different inhibitors may neu-
tralize each other, increasing rather

the present action Of the executor
In continuing the contest was
wrongful and that the duties of the
executor were to preserve the estate
ant act in accordance to law and
not tc hire counsel to resist the con-
test of the WILL
Also pointed out Is an alleged
statement made by the estates
lawyer that If the children should
be successful in their appeal to the
high state court that the estate
will bring forth the second and first
wills Of their father and further
extend the litigation.
BY terms Of the will, the third
made by the late Mr.. Atchison, the
two minor children and an older
brother. Lawrence, Jr., we're each
left 500. The sum of $500 was be-
queathea 10 George eastman, a
close 1rieno of the father, and the
remainder of the estate went to his
brother. Edwin Atchison. The eld-
er son did not enter the appeal &C
ton. In ore previous will a trust
fund Of 5000 had been provided
for Margaret.
In the dismissal motion the estate
claims the children as minors had
no legal right to bring the will litig-
alton and that since 1t was illegally
started the superior court has no
jurisdiction and should dismiss the
action. 1t Is the claim Of the es-
tate that the appeal should have
been taken by the children's guard
ian or another person of full legal
age. Only the children's signatures
appear on the original papers en-
tered in superior court.
Legal circles today were speculat-
ing on possible outcome of the dis
misSal motion and what recourse
the children would have If the court
threw out" the case on the tech
meal issue.
