MauIed Hockey Lions
Face Champ Hershey
Team Tomorrow

The Warrington Lions have one
more week Of a heavy early-season
schedule facing them before they
can settle TO the calmer and easier
regular routine Of approximately
three games q week.
Starting tomorrow night, the Lions
have three games In four days and
need a couple of wins to bring them
up to the 500 mark. They dropped
below that figure by losing two
games over the week end. Buffalo
measured the Lions, 7-3. last night
after Philadelphia scored TO shut
out Saturday night, both on the
road.
The local ice pros entertain the
American League champion Hershey
Bears tomorrow night and return
against Buffalo on Friday night after
a quick trip to New Haven on Thurs
day. Tomorrow nights game is one
postponed because Of fog two weeks
ago. Washington took a 81 de-
cision in the only test so far against
Hershey.
Tomorrow nights game may de-
velop into a duel between two ex-
pert goal tenders. Working In the
Hershey net will be Gordon ReO
Henry, the top eoalie In the Eastern
League last year when he was with
Boston. The Lions, of course, will
be protected by Gordie Bell.
Things went pretty bad for Gordie

were by Frank Porteous in the first
period and by Scotty Mair and Red
Raney In the final. The second per-

tween Walt Babey Of the Lions and

Hints He'll Quit Competition

Claude Rippy, who each year is
talked into playing in the club
championship at Washington Golf

solf OF the tournament in yester-
days final, but still defeated q
former conqueror, Harold Hair, 8

final. Rippy was S over par for
"a holes.
The dapper clothing salesman
hinted the tournament was his last
as he received the trophy for the
fourth time in five years of compe-
tition. Although Rippy has de-
serted outside tournoment golf, he's
just too good for club championship
competition.
Hair, q two-tin1e former champion,
led up at the halfway mark as
both posted 73s, but on the start
of the afternoon round Hair sud-
denly lost his touch and Rippy won
the first four holes with pars for a
Sup lead. Hair cut the margin to
1 up ut the 11th, or 10th, but Rippy
won the 31st with par and ended
the match with q birdie on the 34th.

Arkansas Fast Scott
Al Top Of Came; Bids
For A|I-America
By the Assoeiotsd Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. s.
Clyde (Smackover) Scott, the super
charged University of Arkansas back
is playing the greatest football of his
carer, and that means he's q top
candidate for All-America honors.
The hip-wiggling, hurdle-striding
174-pounder, who quit the Naval
Academy two years ago to take q
bride and return to his native State,
leads the Southwest Conference In
rushing and total offense and is con-
sidered one of the best defense backs
the league ever has had.
In seven games with an Arkansas
team which has only fair record Of
four victories, two defeats and a tie,
Scott has netted 502 yards running
and has completed Is Of II forward
passes for $50 more, q total OF 1872.
Scott, 10-second sprinter and
conference hurdling champion, sell
dom leaves his left halfback position
to play safety. But he's been back
there to return two punts-one for
81 yards against Mississippi and an
other for II against Texas A. and M.
The Razorback spark, who has
power to match his speed and elu-
siveness, has scored only So points.
But, as field general, one of his IA
vorite tricks is to work the ball into
scoring position and then give 1t to
a teammate to make the touchdown.
He has passed for two touchdowns
and nearly all Of his scores have
come on long runs.
Observation-Disclosures for his
home town in the South Arkansas
oil fields-can graduate next June II
he chooses. However, his two years
of football at Navy didn't count
against him and he has two more
years of eligibility at Arkansas.
AS it is, when he has the ball It's
anybody's guess what he'll do.

Hoover Dam" However, my idea
Is that If the dam is to bear a
different name, it should be called
the Hiram w. johnson Dam. in
honor of the man who was prln-
cipally responsible for putting
through the legislation.
There is another principle in
volved in this matter. Personally,
agree with former Speaker Ray
burn. I have never been in favor
of naming public structures or OBJ
jects after living men. The rule
ought to be not to name anything
after a man who is not dead in
fact and not merely dead politically.
A monument or tombstone ought to
approximate the truth, although
often they do not. However, in this
instance, because Boulder Dam was
really fathered by great Repub-
lican Senator from the State of
California, the Senate ought at
least to be willing to keep the record
straight. The Senate ought to be
willing to refrain from playing pol
itics.
New Preamble Suggested.
Failing this. I suggest that the
Senate amend the preamble of the
bill to read:
Whereas, the late Hiram w.
johnson was principally respon-
sible for the Boulder Dam project,
and, whereas, the bill authoriz-
ing the same was signed by the late
President Calvin Coolidge and,
whereas, Senator Smoot, in 1880,
offered a bill in the Senate while
Mr.. Hoover was President, chang
ing the name to Hoover Dam.'
which bill a Republican Senate re-
fused to pass, and whereas, Mr..
Hoover, as President, had nothing
to do with this project except to
venture to oppose it quietly, and,
whereas. the original and popu-
lar name of this structure has al
ways been Boulder Dam, and,
whereas, we do not like the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt anyhow and
insist upon thinking that he was
responsible for retaining the orig
inal name, although he had nothing
to do with it, now, therefore,
be it resolved that the name
Hoover Dam be substituted for
that of Boulder Dam Resolved,
further. in the interest Of econ
ony, that there be authorized to
be expended out Of any unexpended
balances in the Treasury, the sum
OF $5,000,000, more or less, as may
be required to give effect to this
legislation by changing road signs,
record surveys, maps, contracts,
public documents" etc., etc., etc.
But I would be surprised If Mr..
Hoover would be willing to agree
to a name for Boulder Dam that
would amount to political miscege-
nation.

name of Boulder Dam to Hoover
Dam" To honor Mr.. Hoover ought
to 60 far to satisfy housewives who
are complaining about the cost Of
living and the GIs who cannot find
a place to live at any price. No
doubt it will mean food for the
starving abroad and will serve notice
on Russia that we are people who
cannot be trif1ed with.
Thus, such legislation ought to
be followed by another act creating
an Order Of the Cuckoo. The rea-
soning seems to be that Boulder
Dam ought to be christened Hoover
Dam" because Mr.. Hoover had SO
little to do with 1t. The bill Great
ing Boulder Dam was signed by
President Coolidge. On January g.,
1880, Senator Smoot introduced in
the Senate bill to bestow the name
Hoover upon a structure that was
powerless even TO retort with the
last name in its title. Although Mr..
Hoover was President at the time
and Senator Smoot was boss of the
Senate, he could not get this bill
even through the Committee on Irri-
cation and Reclamation.
Supported by johnson.
The bill creating the great Boulder
Dam project would never have be-
come law If 1t had not been for the
tremendous fight in the Senate by
Hiram w. johnson of California.
In the House the bill was sponsored
by Representative Phil D. Swing,
also of California. More than once
during his lifetime, Senator johnson
told ME that President Hoover was
opposed to this project and secretly
did all that he could to defeat it..
He could not oppose 1t openly be-
cause he, too, was from California,
besides being a candidate to sue
ceed Mr.. Coolidge as President. So,
If man is entitled to have his name
affixed to a structure that he did
not really want but did not dare
openly to oppose, then by all means
the name should be changed to

That is the wrong way to win the

I have a better plan for bringing
Ivan under our sphere OF influence
and making those wolfhounds bark
in American. 1t will cost a pretty
packet of money, but it's worth try
ing. Here is my scheme. See If you
don't agree with me.
Here Is McLemore Plan.
Let the American Government Sc
lect a representative Russian town
something like our Middletown
US. A.-and equip it just as a small
town in the United States is equip
ped. Give every home the things we
have here. Papa will get a five
passenger automobile to begin with
mama will get an electric washer
sister will get a wardrobe comparable
to the wardrobe Of her American
opposite number, and Junior Will get
bicycle.
Then, while the Russian families
are getting accustomed to these
things, we'll work on the town It,
self. The streets will be paved, q
movie showing a new double fea-
ture every other night will go uE
on the corner, and across from the
movie will be a drug store where
the Russian kids can drop in for all
the milk, Ice cream, sandwiches
ETC., they want and the elders cen
buy everything from an automobile
tire to a bottle of perfume guar
anteed to make the wearer the most
seductive thing since Cleopatra.
On Main Street Of the Russian
experimental town there will be shoe
stores with plenty Of real leather
shoes to sell, grocery stores stocked
with almost everything except
caviar, department stores where the
Russian family can get blankets
sheets, dresses, costume jewelry,
cosmetics, curtains and rugs.
The town will have plumbers,
roofers, welders, florists and all the
other things we Americans take
for granted.
Publicity VIII Follow.
Don't think that word Of this
town won't get around. A month
after 1t Is established every Russian
will know about 1t. iron curtain or
no iron curtain. and Russians will
be flocking to see it Just as they now
flock to Lenin's tomb. Naturally,
the Russian leaders will declare the
town "off limits" and make visit
there tantamount to six years In
the salt mines, but people who had
the courage to hold Stalingrad will
manage to make It.
Some of you readers are certain
to say that such town would not
be typical of America, that mil
lions and millions of Americans
don't have a car, an electric washer,
or decent housing. True. Not only
true, but shamefully true. But
please remember that when we are
piping "Open the Door, Richard
to the Russians we are not admit
ting that all isn't sweetness and
light over here. If we are going to
try to fool the Russians on the
beauty of our country, I say let's
fool them good. OF course, If we are
going to tell the truth, the whole
truth, and admit our weaknesses
then let's not be evangelists at all
