Berge Charges Move
10 Link Utah Plant 10
Monopoly Scheme
BY me Assoeiotsd Press

The future of the $200, ,000, 900 Gov
ernment-built steel plant at Geneva
Utah, was tied in today with admin
istration opposition to legislation
exempting railroads from antitrust
laws in making ICC-approved rate
agreements.
Assistant Attorney General Wen
dell Berge told the Senate Com
merce Committee yesterday that
Eastern steel manufacturers intend
to use every means within their
power" to prevent operation of the
wartime plant.
Eastern manufacturers plan, Mr..
Berge said, IF not stopped by the
Government, to maintain their posi-
ton in the Western market through
their control over the rate struc-
ture."
Meanwhile, War Assets Admin
istration oflcials said the time limit
for private bidding on the Geneva
plant has been extended from April
to May l. More than one bid has
been received and others are .ex-
pected, they reported.
MIR. Berge testified that surplus
property administrators report
showed that "the only prospective
purchaser for Geneva is one OF the
large Eastern steel manufacturers
who can so integrate Geneva pro-
duction into the monopolistic ma
tional scheme of steel production as
to preserve the steel basingo point
pricing system"
Mr.. Berge told the committee that
the legislation, already approved by
the House, might provide antitrust
immunity ''for a host of allied in
dustrial activities affecting every
aspect of our economic life"
He said a wartime Government
request for reduced rates from Cen
eva to the Pacific Coast met we
hement" opposition from Eastern
manufacturers.
Chairman Wheeler commented
that the Government could ask the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for a 'fair rate" Mr.. Berge con-
ceded that such a request has not
been made.

Ickes Blasts Play Area Abuse,
7ukes Potomac for Example

Washington is striking example
Of how greed. laziness and stupidity
have destroyed the play spots which
would have meant the best kind OF
recreation in almost every big city
in America" Harold L. Ickes, former
Secretary Of the Interior, writes In
the May issue of Holiday Magazine
on sale Wednesday.
THE Potomac River" he AYERS, ''is
wholly fitted to be great natural
playground, but sewage and indus
trial waste have ruined it. Today
it is fit neither for fish nor human
beings"
Mr.. Ickes uses the Potomac as an
example of rivers which should
serve as oases in deserts OF brick and
stone" but which too often are
highly odoriferous.
"It Is dangerous even to paddle
across one," he writes. Should your
canoe upset, you may end up in a
hospital with anything from typhoid
fever to the Cinese rot"
Mr.. Ickes takes Washington for
another example. I'VE boast" he
says, that Rock Creek Park is one

In Secret for Lincoln

Coach Eddie jackson ordered
secret practice for his Howard Uni
versity eleven last week as the Bisons
began final preparations for their
Thanksgiving Day game with Lin
coin University, of oxford, Pa, at
Griffith Stadium.
The BiSons, who will be underdogs,
may be without the services of Art

Jordan, guard, who are injured.
Smith and Jordan, both Washington
youths, have been idle for 10 days.
The Thanksgiving Day game will
mark the SID anniversary of this
traditional battle, oldest and most
renowned in Negro football history.
The two arch foes have been playing
since 1894, with Howard holding q
17-16 edge in victories and seven
games ending as ties.
Lincoln scored a 60 victory in
Philadelphia last year. which was
Coach JackSon's first season as
mentor of the Bisons.
Jackson has drilled his men be-
hind closed quarters for the last
three days and has indicated that
the remaining Bison practices will
be held in similar manner. He
has been emphasizing defensive tao
tics to halt the Lions crack offense.

Slater S 54-Yard Run
Keeps Vols in Bowl
Race With 7-OWin
BY the Ass-eioied Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 49,
Capt. Walter Slater, feet-footed
. triple-threater from Providence, r.
l., personally kept Tennessee in the
running for a postseason bowl game
today by racing 54 yards in the last
quarter with a kick for the lone
score as the once-beaten Vols de-
feated Kentucky, TO.
The scrapping wildcats all but
throttled the Vols highly vaunted
rushing and passing game. A sell
out crowd of $4,000 was about ready
to settle for another deadlock when
the 27-year-old Slater, bowling out
before the homefolk, took one of
Phil Cutchin's kicks on his own 46,
picked UP his interference and
sprinted untouched down the right
sidelines for the touchdown. Charley
Mitchell converted from placement.
1t was the second time this season
Slater had pulled game out of the
fire for the Vols with a game-win-
ming punt return. His 68-yard
sprint against North Carolina en-
abled Tennessee to come from be-
hind and beat the Tar Heels, 2O-14,
earlier in the season.
The game started slowly and
quickly developed into defensive
struggle with neither team making
a first down in the first quarter.
Tennessee got break at the out
set of the second period when Don
Dopey) Phelps, Wildcat safety man,
fumbled Bob Lund's kick on the
Kentucky 10 and Norman Meseroll
recovered for the Vols. The Cat line
stiffened, however, and took the ball
on downs on its 2-yard stripe.

Fairfax, 1o 10 Is

Falls Church High defeated Fair
fax High, 1913. yesterday at Falls
Church for the first Jaguar foot,
ball victory in the history of sports
rivalry between these two Fairfax
County schools. The result was not
an upset, though, as Falls Church
under Coach Gregory Wroniewicz
was having It's most successful sea-
son and yesterdays triumph was its
eighth in 10 starts.
The game had its unusual aspect
In that all three Jaguar touchdowns
were by Mike Bruin, while both
Rebel markers were by Talbot Cole
man and both came after Falls
Church had finished its scoring.
Lewis Trombo passed Is yards to
Bruin in the second period for the
games initial score. Other Falls
Church markers came on inter-
cepted passes. Bruin pulled In one
and scampered 10 yards to tally In
the third quarter, and in the final
quarter he raced is yards with an
other thefted heave. Dan Hile-
mans placement for an extra point
was good after the second touch
down.
Fairfax Scores Late.
Fairfax got back in the game after
that, scoring late in the final quar-
ter. Buddy Swift passed to Cole
man, who ran 10 yards for ono
tally, and Coleman bucked the line
Tor fiye yards and another touch
down after a blocked kick gave the
Rebels their opportunity. Kid

High Title for Coolidge Looms
In Friday Ployoff With Tech
BY George Huber

Although beaten by Tech, 1916,
three weeks ago when they met in
q regular series game, Coolidge
might find itself the favorite when
they tangle again at Griffith Sta
dunn on Friday night, this time for
the District high school football
championship.
The Colts otherwise were tied only
by Anacostia and won their other
games to finish In first place In the
high school round-robin series, while
the Maroons absorbed an upset
defeat from Roosevelt last Friday
to go with ties against Central and
Eastern and finish second.
Indications are that Tech may
have reached its peak in the Cool
idge game. Since then it hasn't
played the same kind Of ball, work

Rohr-into action. The Colts have
one Of the best lines in the city
with Warren Malkin a standout. The
Colts also are well protected at ends
with Dick Taylor and Bill Moulden.
Tech may have an edge in the
line which has been responsible for
much Of its success. Guard Albie
Thompson and Center Bob Bell are
prime all-high prospects and Tackle
''Tiny" Gable is no pushover. Techs
principal weakness Is the lack, or
almost total absence, Of backfield
blocking, but it does have break
away runners who can get through
holes in the line and continue on
their own.
Bob Thompson Is the big threat in
that breakaway department, but
Paul Pometto has come along lately

Losing Streak al Six

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. ,23.--
Princeton's "implausible brats" were
Just as implausible as usual today,
but Dartmouth's footballers had
more endurance and came up with
belated 20-to-13 triumph before
"a, 900 spectators to put a successful
end to an otherwise dismal Ivy
League season.
The triumph marked the end of
q six-game losing string for the
Dartmoutff team, which previously
had beaten only Holy Cross and
Syracuse. It was the third straight
defeat for the Tigers since they
earned their reputation for i'm
plausibility by upsetting highly fa-
vored Pennsylvania.
Princeton started of by scoring
on the third play Of the game. Dart
mouth bounced back to tie the
count at the half. The Tigers went
ahead at the start of the third
quarter, but lost out in the final
period when Conrad Pensavalle's
passing produced a second Dart
mouth touchdown and George Pull
liam added the winning point.
Capt. Tom Douglas made the final
Dartmouth score after he had paved
the way by kicking out Of bounds
on the Tiger 5.
At the start, John Powers, Prince
toms freshman fullback who starred
against Penn, galloped 81 yards to
the Dartmouth Al on the second
play Of the game and Carl Leibert,
the outstanding back on the field
today, then went the rest Of the
way for touchdown.
Dartmouth got that one back in
the second quarter when two Prince
ton penalties gave the Indians the
ball on Princeton's 13 and series
Of line plays sent Francie O'Brien
across.
AS the second half opened, the
Tigers again scored quickly, with
Val Wagner going % yards to tally
on Princeton's fourth play. The
Dartmouth line charged in so fast
that Ken Keuffel couldn't get off
the kick. The Tigers tossed the ball
over the lot and Tom FinicaI finally
grabbed it in the end zone, but the
point didn't count because there
were two forward passes on one
play.
From there on it was Dartmouth's
game, but the New Hampshire In
dians didn't score until Pensavalle
began pitching passes in the fourth
quarter. He personally directed q
72-yard drive, tossing short one
to John mo" Monahan for the
touchdown. Pulliam's placement was
successful and Dartmouth was
ahead to STAY.

during the game did it punt.
