with day and night classes, during

Warrington Building Congress in
the Mayfiower Hotel. Seventy-three
young men, most Of them World

Labor Department certificates for
completing their apprenticeship in
the building trades.

"The welfare Of our industries de-
pends on the all-around skills OF
our craftsmen. Manual dexterity Is
as necessary as engineering skill
taught In colleges. No makeshift

It was pointed out the Alexander

A Commute player in college
football is practically a thing of
the past, but there are some boys
up at Georgetown University who
will find themselves playing an
awful lot of minutes in every
game this year. And they'll have
to, because Coach Jack Hagerty
can field a pretty good first team,
but not too much after that.
Biggest problem at the Hilltop
is reserves. The coaches aren't
100 per cent satisfied with ends
and center, and would like more
weight in the backfield, but the
main worry is what's going to
happen when the subs go in. But

doubtful If a train ride and one

There is only one probable answer
to these problems, and President

overtime on it-a trade or two.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-A Coup
pee was indefinitely suspended
today by the Redskins and
Johnny Kovatch, veteran end,
was sent to the Green Bay Pack
ers in exchange for their 18th
pick in next winters National
Football League draft.
Couppee, one-time Iowa full
back whose future seemed secure
with the Tribe, took off his uni
form between halves of last
nights game with the Chicago
Bears, left the park and had not
been heard from early today.
Evidently he was peeved at not
being used more, especially with
relatives and friends sitting in
the stands last night.
Coach Turk Edwards says he
doesn't care "if I never see him
again." and the obvious con-
clusion is that Couppee not
only never again will wear a
Redskin uniform, but might even
be waived out of the league. 1t
is the second case of its kind
since the Tribe reached Chicago.
The first, concerning Ralph
Ruthstrom, had a happier end

the team and evidently will stick.

a chance to do better than ex-

And what will Hagerty use in
the way of players? Well, that
starting line averages 2 pounds

ages 173. Not as black a picture
as Hagerty paints, eh?
Ends and center are supposed
to be weakest. Starting ends
probably will be AL Sarashevitz
