Job. You can buy a box Of assorted
sizes in any hardware store. The
directions for doing the work are
shown on the box, in some in
stances.
Every house should be equipped
with a rubber plunger for removing
stoppages in basins and sinks.
These exert great pressure and
usually clear out any but the most
stubborn distractions. If the plung-
er does not bring results, the plug
at the bottom of the trap should be
removed and wire with a hook
bent on the end should be inserted
to drag out the cause of the trouble.
The flush tanks of closets are far
more simple than they look. You
will find that the lid of the tank is
removable. Take it of and oper-

water is turned off. You will be
surprised at the simplicity Of the

Gallagher Planned Coaching Career When IS Years Old
Unbeot St. Johns Eleven Bottles Central Ton Anoneed His Deem

Joey is a nice fellow and so he
has been helped by nice people.
When his players are hurt they're
dispatched to G. w. U. or Mary
land where willing trainers put
them on the mend.
Gallagher is a busy man. In
addition to his coaching duties,
he teaches two history and five
physical education classes at St.
Johns. For three months dur
ing the summer he attends law
school at G. w. U. and peddles
real estate on the side.
He hasn't learned the crying
technique of most coaches. OF
favored Central he says. IT
think we're about even. II we
play as we played last week we
can beat EN-"
Central, undefeated in series
competition, can't afford to coast

to remain undefeated. 1t has dis

Coach Gallagher may take his
first beating tonight, but If he
does he'll learn something from
it,. Joey hasn't missed a trick.

Chance for Loop Lead
Given W. 81. in Tilt
With Virginia Tech
BY the Associated Press

For the first time since 1884, a
Washington and Lee football team
comes up to a Saturday afternoon
game with the possibility Of the
Southern Conference championship
hinging on the outcome.
The Generals now are tied for
first place with Duke, each with
three games won and none lost in
the circuit. With Duke playing
Missouri, the w.
and L. team would waltz into un-
disputed possession Of the lead to-
morrow If it defeats Virginia Tech
in Lynchburg, Va.
More than one school is eyeipg the
Conference title, however, and the
defending champion, North Caro-
lima, in particular, will be looking for
a victory to carry it farther to-
ward a repeat performance as top
in the loop.
The Tar Heels, facing North
Carolina State at Chapel Hill. N. c.,
have a $3.50 record of a win and
a loss in the Conference with three
circuit foes coming up this month.
Victory in those three games might
or might not give North Carolina
the title, depending, of course, on
the status of the other contending
clubs, but it certainly would help
the appearance of the spotty Tar
Heel record.
The North Carolina squad started
tapering off for that tilt with the
Wolfpack yesterday, rehearsing a
variety of defense and checking Of
fensive assignments.
In another conference affair to-
morrow, William and Mary will play

Joey, Whose |
By Burton Huwkins

Clark Shaughnessy, one OF the
Redskins corps of coaches, has
devoted a lifetime to exploring
the possibilities of the T forma-
ton, but little Joey Gallagher
couldn't spare the time. He
absorbed most of what he knows
about it in one all-night session
with Johnny Fenlon, University
of Richmond football coach. Gal
lagher qualities as the perfect
pupil.
Tonight, you see, Gallagher,
who never played moment of
college football. sends his st.
Johns eleven, with its unblem-
ished record. against highly re-
garded Central High at Griffith
Stadium at BIS o'clock. st.
Johns has disposed of six straight
opponents, all of which has come
as a calculated dream to a 26-
year-old coach who had the fore
sight to plan hts career when he
was a 15-year-old, 120-pound
seconds string quarterback at st.
Johns.
Behind st. Johns undefeated,
united record and its coach is in
terwoven tale that includes
widespread help being given an
ambitious young fellow who
recognized his deficiencies and
wasn't too proud to request aid.
He got it-from the Redskins,
from Catholic University's Gene
Augusterfer, from George Wash
ington University, from the Unit
ed States Marines. from Mary
land University, Friends School
and from Tuffy Leemans and Ray
Hanken, former G. w. U. and
New York Giants stars.
Joey's dream started IL years

skin movies, Juzwik arranged 1t.
In a dark room at the New
Colonial Hotel Gallagher watched
the Redskins fit across the
screen, heard caustic comments
by the hardened pros and filed
them in his memory for future
reference. Joey was learning.
Augusterfer, signed away from
St. Johns by Catholic u, said
to Joey, "Sit tight and let's see
what happens" Gene put in a
word for Gallagher to Brother
Thomas, director of St. Johns,
who didn't need much persuasion.
Brother Thomas, as st. Johns
director of athletics years ago,
had known joey intimately and
recognized his ability to handle
boys. He was subjecting himself
to criticism, but Brother Thomas
took the risk of getting woefully
inexperienced coach for St. Johns
and so Gallagher took over.
Coaching St. Johns junior var
sity, also unbeaten in six games,
is Ray Fenlon, brother of the
former G.. w. U. back and Rich
mond football coach. He ar
ranged meeting for Gallagher
and Johnny at Richmond. 1t
developed into an all-night con-
ference, with Joey eagerly OBJ
tanning Johnny's advice and
finding the answers to a wide
assortment of questions.
Joey needed an assistant, so he
got Hanken to coach the line.
Ray is paid for his services, but
unpaid is Leemans. who has
missed only five st. Johns work
outs. He just gets kick out OF
it. Gee. they've been great"
says Gallagher. "They really
know their football and they've
taught me a lot"

A survey of what should be the
most populous area, which includes
the grounds in the vicinity of Hoop
er, Bloodsworth, South Marsh and
Smiths Islands, revealed unusually
heavy concentrations of Canada
geese for this time of the year. The
ducks present however were mostly
native black duck, along with some
pintails and widgeon. Few black
heads were observed.
Glen Leyde, who has three blinds
in the Swan Point area in the lower
Potomac, and who flies his own plane
extensively over this whole area,
tells us that besides the ruddys and
native black duck, pintails and wild
geon (baldpates) are most common
ly found at this time. His opinion
Is that there are not as many ducks
present in this area as last year, al
though there has been no difficulty
so far in obtaining the daily limit
from his blinds. No canvasbacks are
down yet, and very few blackheads.
A considerable concentration of

ago, when AuguSterfer, current
C. U. coach, was coaching at st.
Johns, and Gallagher was his
skinny reserve quarterback. II
guess it's foolish" says Gallagher,
reminiscing, "but that was when
I decided I wanted to be a coach.
I diagrammed every play Gene
gave us and kept notes on just
about everything he said"
That was the start. Joey was
st. Johns regular quarterback
his last two years and made the
Catholic All-Prep team his senior
year, but it was as slippery bas-
ket ball player that Gallagher was
known to high school fans. He
was one of the best produced in
this area and later sparkled at
G.. w. U.
There was no football for Joey
at G. w. u. though. He never
weighed more than $50 pounds,
but his ambition was kept alive.
He coached Friends Schools
Junior team for $50 month While
taking a physical education course
at G. w. U. and that was another
step toward his current job.
Came the war and Marine 1t.
Gallagher ultimately was shunted
to Maui, one of the Hawaiian
islands, where he was provost
marshal. Joey also helped coach
the Marine 18th Service Battalion,
which tied for the island cham
pionship.
Last year his former coach,
Augusterfer, took on Joey as an
assistant at st. Johns. He was
learning and seemingly couldn't
sop up gridiron knowledge rap
idly enough. Steve Juzwik, the
former Redskin player, was Joey's
friend and when Gallagher re-
uuested permission to attend Red
