Record Sales DepIeie
'YuIe Stocks as Stores
Expect Greater Rush

With many Of Washington's stores
reporting the biggest day in their
history yesterday, preparations were
being rushed to replenish depleted
stocks of certain items in expecta-
ton of even greater sales during the
coming week.
Obtaining more stock, especially
toys, will now be a simpler problem
with the coal strike over, an Official
of The Hecht Co. said, in reporting
that his store did the largest busi-
ness in its 50-year existence.
Crowds on F street were so thick
that pedestrian traffic overfowed
into the street. The aisles of down.
town department stores were jammed
with shoppers to such an extent
that one store official threw up his
hands and exclaimed: 1--WE simply
can't get anybody in anymore. I
have never seen anything like It'll"
< Embargo Is Ignored.
Store officials said that although
most of the purchases made in their
stores were for local use, persons
who intended shipping presents out
of town paid little heed to size
limitations although they knew OF
the embargo on the larger items be-
cause of the coal strike.
"They seemed to sense that the
strike would be over and that the
embargo would quickly be lifted so
they didn't worry about size" floor
walker explained.
None OF the stores had exact fig
ures Immediately available on the
amount of business transacted yes
terday but all agreed jubilantly that
records apparently were broken and
that the business would be cumula-
tive, possibly attaining its peak next
Saturday and then taperirig of a.
little. Last-minute shoppers, as
usual, would be active right up toI
Christmas eve, it was said.
Window Lighting to Return.
The end of the coal strike will
mean also the lifting of the brown
out, one official pointed out, and
this will draw even larger crowds
to the stores. He declared, how
ever, that this years shopper is q
most determined person and has
not been deferred to by the lack OF
outside illumination, anyway.
Apparently, high prices for GER
tain consumer items have not re-
duced such purchases, even though
a picket line of the Washington
Committee for Consumer Protec-
ton was active at the height Of
yesterdays shopping rush.
Urging shoppers not to buy gifts
at reportedly exorbitant prices, the
plckets were active at Eleventh and
r streets NV. Store officials in
that vicinity said the demonstra-
ton appeared to have little effect
on sales.
An employe of one five-and-ten-
cent store was delegated to do moth
ing but replenish stocks of decora-
tions, tree ornaments. wrapping
paper and Christmas cards which
were being snapped up by pur-
chasers as fast as they were placed
on display.

by mail order only, completely
eliminating box office operations
in a move to speed up handling

The Mid-Winter Sports associa-
ton, sponsor of the annual classic,

to the complaints.
President Sam CorensWet said
that mail order sales would be-
gin Sept. 9. He pointed out that
all requests for tickets between
Sept. 9 and Sept. 81 would be
tossed into a barrel. Orders will
be filled by lottery, the first re-
quests drawn getting the top &C
comodations.
After Sept. -, ticket requests
will be handled on a first-come,
fi~rst-served basis.
A limit of six tickets to each
customer will be established, and

NOT AS GOOD

In a lengthy discussion of the
team he expects to field
against Villanova in the open
ing game Sept. 81, the Army
mentor said his first eleven
might be nearly - though not
quite as good as the Won
drous outfit that swamped all
opposition last year.
1.-The big difference will be in
our depth" he sighed. I'VE
won't be able to use the two
team system as we did the past
two years. I'll have to make
scattered requirements and
play by NEST men much long
er in the big games.
THAT in itself will be bad,
because our boys, with the ter
rifle classroom schedule they
carry. need all the rest ! can
give them. During last football
season l knew of times when
Blanchard studied until II
o'clock and was up at $50 with
the rest of the corps. He was
carrying seven subjects.
"As for the possibility of in
juries to any of my key play
ers, l can't even think about
it. 1t would be fatal. With this
schedule we're facing, what
I need is that 1914 squad, with
about three good men for every
position"

He left the sentence hanging,

that he thought his cadets, I'M
defeated national college
champions for two straight
years, might be able to defend
themselves.
Il notice." Blaik continued,
"that Ed McKeever of Cornell
commented the other day that
we would be playing against
men this year instead of boys.
Why, we thought we we're play
ing quite a few men last year.
Both Pennsylvania and
Notre Dame had older line-ups
than we had. Ours really is
a young team. Neither Doc
Blanchard nor Glenn Davis
will be 81 until this season is
