Wide-0pen Race Seen
In lnferhigh Series
Opening Tomorrow
By George Huber

The serious business of chasing
after the football championship be-
gins for high school boys tomorrow.
Eastern, winner for two years, is
heavily stocked with green players
this season and indications are it
might not swing into shape in time
to make 1t three in a row, so the
door is open for some Of the schools
to take over. Coolidge seems to be
the predominate choice.
1t could be almost anybody's race,
with Central also coming up as a
strong contender. All have posi-
bilities, and problems too. Cool
idges scoring power is hurt by oc-
casional defensive lapses; Roosevelt
is building strong eleven but may
be year away from a top con-
tenders position; Anacostia needs
reserves and weight but has speed;
Wilson has balance and a fair
amount of experience but needs
drive, Western could use more scor-
ing punch, but its defenses seem
okay, and Tech is in a good position
to move if its downf1eld blocking
and a few other rough edges are
SmoOthed.
Games Slated at $3.50.
Games tomorrow opening the title
series are Eastern at Western, Cool
idge at Central and Tech at Wilson,
all at $3.50, while another tilt shifted
from tomorrow has Anacostia and
Roosevelt playing at Central
Stadium at o'clock Saturday. This,
incidentally, may be the forerunner
Of other Saturday games if it proves
q success.
Eastern, whose 22-game winning
streak was ended by York Pa.) last
week, isn't going to give up the title
without struggle, and, while it's
almost certain the Ramblers can't
duplicate their undefeated efforts
of the last two years there's
chance for them to come along late
in the season. Coach Dick Mentzer
hasn't been able to settle on a
starting lineup yet and there doubt
less will be plenty of shifting in
early games anyway.
Regular Holdovers.
His regular holdovers are Bill
Foley and Phil Taylor at ends and
there are few better players around;
plus Jerry Osborne, a punter and
passer of note, at halfback. Quar-
terback Sal Digiorgi, sub last year;
Halfback Kenny Burns, a new hand,
and Center Buck Hardy, another
newcomer, have broken in well and
probably will stick with the starters,
but other positions are open.
Paul Traynor and Bill Hollister,
sub tackles last year and starters
last week, may be shifted, as may
Joe Constantine and Otis Brown,
last weeks starting guards. If these
or other boys can whip into shape
before the season is too far advanced
it will plug up the line, which is
Eastern's big question mark as 1t
goes into tomorrows opening game.

Sweoringen, Short Game Artist,
Faces Bowie in Columbia Golf

Ray Swearingen met Buddy Bowie
today in the second-round feature of
the Columbia Club championship
and as usual Swearingen, the
slightly built links veteran, figured
to be outdriven by from Is to SO
yards off every tee and to use long
irons where Bowie used short ones,
but that's an old story to him.
1t was that way yesterday when
Swearingen met Tommy Webb in
the first round, but Swearingen
played a typical round for him, "a
puts for the II holes the match
lasted and Webb was a 2-and-1 vic
tim in one of three giant-killing
acts of the first round of match play.
Swearingen blasted out of a trap
into the cup on the first hole for a
birdie three, dropped 60-foot birdie
putt on the second, and Just as Webb
pulled close on the 10Th, Swearingen
holed a 40-footer. He doesn't hit
them far, but he more than makes
up for it with one of the best short
games in town.
The other first-round surprises
were young George Rita's 2-and-l

Barracks D Housing
Schemes Fail; 80
Buildings 10 Be Razed

The Government can't find a.
taker for most4Of WAVE Barracks
d. at Massachusetts and Nebraska
avenues NV, which housed more
than 5000 Navy girls during the
war, and the Navy plans to sell
the material In the buildings tol
priority holders under contract.
From Willis Dudley, real estate
manager for the Navys Bureau Of
Yards and Docks, 1t was learned
that the Navy, as well as the Fed
eral Works Agency and the Ma
tional Housing, Authority, have tried
every angle to turn the WAVES
little city into q housing or educa-
tional center and finally had to
give up.
Five of the buildings on the 33-
acre tract are being turned over
to American University for class
room, laboratory and recreation
purposes. But more than 80 others
are going to be salvaged for ma
terials.
Mr.. Dudley said the first move
made was to interest five local uni
versities in taking over the bar
racks as joint auxiliary campus
and student veterans housing CEN
ter.
The. five- Georgetown, George
Washington, Maryland, American
and Catholic-turned the PROPOSE
tion down, although the United
States ONCE of Education expressed
willingness to certify that the five
needed the facilities for veterans
education programs.
The institutions objected, for va
rious reasons, including the need
for remodeling some of the build
1ngs, the fact it would set up off,
campus facilities hard to admin
lister and the prospect of having to
charge veterans more rent for any
housing developed there than they
could afford.
Next the Government thought
perhaps the buildings could be
moved to university canpuses and
rebuilt there, but 1t was found the
buildings could not be cut up easily.
Buildings from other sources, 1t
was found, were more suitable for
this purpose, and are about to be
moved to the campuSes.
Finally the barracks project was
offered to commercial housing
operators. No takers were found
because Of the temporary nature
of the structures and the fact only
short-term leases could be made.

COMMON SENSE

Britain's Prime Minister, Clement
Attlee, sees his country we'll on the
way to recovery in IL months. Wish
we could feel as optimistic about the
outlook on this side of the Atlantic.
Even so, the labor government has
its hands full of industrial conflict and
domestic strife. Scorning the usual
platitudes, the little bald-headed
statesman told British labor and man
agement what he thought of them.
1--WE cannot afford to waste our
strength in quarrels over wages, hours
and conditions" Attlee said. owe
want our industrial machine to go for
ward with a steady rhythm" And
while the nations welfare requires
discipline from workers, particularly
self discipline" Britain needs also
sthe right kind of leadership in man
agement"
Mr.. Attlee's diagnosis of Britain's
ills, it seems to US, applies equally
well to the United States. Here, too, is
too much of the dog -eats-dog spirit
too little consideration of the public
good. Isn't it about time we stopped
making faces at each other and bent
our combined strength to the task of
getting the vehicle of state out OF
the muck we are in?
Why that's just common sense, you
say. 1t sure it. But common sense can
at times be as uncommon and rare as
plutonium, uranium and some other
stuff scientists are nowadays foOling
around with.
A stiff dose of common sense mix
ed with generous spoonful of will
ingness to understand the next fell
