In case you think the life of
band vocalist is all play and
no work, listen to this routine of
Francey Lanes. Francey, who is
Johnny Long5s vocalist, says that
on the road she works an aver
age of six hours night, spends
the rest of the time trying to
find a spot to eat, then, makeup
still on, she rushes into the bands
special bus to ride all night to
the next engagement. That goes
on for weeks with no time for
dates, beauty treatments, letters
or phone calls.
Even when they hit New York,
work is still tough. In between
shows she tries to grab bite to
eat, has costumes fitted, does
press interviews, rehearseS new
tunes, gets clothes cleaned and
laundered and gets set for the
neSts road hop - T. ~

Howard Comes Back
To Win, 1877, Over
Virginia Union
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. IA
determined Virginia Union Univer-
sity defense faltered twice today at
Hovey Field and those two lapses
were enough for Howard University
of Washington to come from behind
and win, 1877.
The first half was scoreless as
both teams battled on relatively
even terms, with the booming punts
of Unions Tom Perkins the only
margin the host team held.
Early in the third period Howard
scored the first touchdown of the
game after 53-yard drive featuring
the passing of Church Ross, Howard
quarterback, and Sandy Greene
fullback. Ross tossed to McLain
for the score.
Ross brought the second Howard
score when he passed IS yards to
Elliott with eight minutes remain
ing in the game.
The Union tally came early in
the fourth period when Young shot
long pass to Parker, who raced
to the l. Oldham drove into the
line twice, gaining pay dirt on the
second try.

bred Rico Monte, 3-year-old from
Arnold Hangers stable. won the
100000 New York Handicap before
41,565 racing fans at Belmont Park

Rico Monte engaged in a stirring
stretch duel with his stablemate,
Talon, and won by nose in q photo
finish as Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs
Stynie could do no better than
fourth to fail in his bid to regain
the world earnings lead from Armed.
The entry OF Rico Monte and
Talon was installed favorite and
paid $4.70 to win. The winner COW
cred the two and one-quarter miles
in 3:48 2.5 and collected $73,700 for
his owner.
Behind the first two came G. v.
Whitney's 3-year-old ace, Phalanx,
five lengths away. Stymie was 13
lengths off the pace. He collected
$1,000 fourth place money to in
crease his total earnings. to $759, ITO,
still needing $4,000 to pass Armed's S
leading winning total of $761 500.
Rico Monte, under top weight of
l26 pounds, was perfectly ridden.
He was rated off the pace for the
first mile and half, then was sent
up. The South American horse, a
noted slayer, took command in the
middle of the turn and under a hard
drive by Arcaro, who had ridden
him in his two previous outings,
gained the photo decision for his
fourth straight victory. 1t marked
the third time he has beaten Sty-
mie, who went in at 125 pounds.

Over Surprising
Blair by $3.50

st. Johns, boasting one Of its most
powerful football elevens in recent
years, kept its slate clean by down.
ing a surprisingly tough Blair team,
$500, yesterday at Blair.
|. Blair, after losing to Georgetown
Prep by lopsided score a week ago,
bounced back to give the Johnnies
a rough time OF it, grabbing the
lead twice in the first half. The
Johnnies unleashed their full power
in the fourth quarter, chalking up
two touchdowns and a safety.
Highight of the contest was the
fine passing Of Jack George, who
threw four touchdown passes, one
good for 48 yards, another for So
and two for 16 yards each.
Luckett's 37-yard touchdown aerial
to Lunow gave Blair temporary
lead in the first period. Cushman
plunged over for the extra point.
A few minutes later George passed
w al Ac W oOb 1ON4l dIlO kllCll
kicked the extra point to tie the
count. Blair's Frenzeley took a re-
verse from Mess on the kickoff and
raced 88 yards for another touch
down which gave the lead back to
Blair. The attempt for the extra
point was no good.
st. Johns went ahead again In
the second period as Waldron went

an interesting team.

not consider the Lions future farm
team of the Maroons, but an af-
filiate," Peto announces. I'VE will,
in other words, have a working
agreement similar to that enjoyed
between the Pittsburgh Hornets and
Toronto Maple Leafs, Hershey Bears
and Boston Bruins and other Amer
ican and National League teams.
Mike Uline will continue to oper-
ate his own club in Washington,
but I will cooperate with him in
every way possible. And until our
own Maroons are ready to function
we will concentrate on bringing the
best possible representation to
