Five on Injured LIST.
As 6. W. Practices
For Virginia Game
BY siofs Correspondent Of III. s,or


CAMP LET'S, Md, Sept. IA
midweek survey of the George Wash
ington University football team re-
veals that at least five players who
figure prominently in the Colonials'
plans this season are on the injured
list and probably will not play in
Saturdays opening game at Virginia.
Ailing players are Ends Dick
Koester and Bev Miller, Center Don
Druckenmiller and Fullbacks Bill
Spangler and Joe Bernot. 1t ap-
pears likely none of them will see
action on Saturday except for spot
plays.
The Colonials held their final
scrimmage yesterday working
against the type of T formation
plays used by the Cavaliers. Word
was received from Charlottesville
that the Cavaliers also scrimmaged
yesterday against G. w. plays, lead
ing Coach Skip Stanley of G. w.
to wonder how they know what
plays he's using this season.
Stanley has his own version of
the single wing attack now installed
at G. W., and as the Colonials and
Cavaliers did not tangle last year
he admits he's pretty much in the
dark about the Virginia system
G. w. and Virginia did meet in a
scrimmage last season, but G. w.
took no notes on Coach Art Guepes
style.
The Colonials will break up their
football camp here Friday and travel
by bus to Charlottesville. They'll
return to Washington after the
game.

The cleanliness of our city
streets and public highways is
an aspect of public health that
is often neglected but neverthe-
less important. Not only is it
unsightly to see candy wrappers,
cigarette packages, banana peel
ings, popcorn boxes, ice cream
cones and cigarette butts scat
tered on the sidewalks and gut
ters and streets, but these items
actually offer means of spread
of contagious diseases. Cigar and
cigarette stubs are loaded with
the spittal of the smoker and as
soon as they dry any germs
clinging to them are blown in
the faces Of the people coming
along behind. Candy wrappers
and ice cream cones have crumbs
of chocolate and drops of cream
clinging to them that have a
powerful attraction for flies,
gnats, and other insects and fur
nish an ideal breeding ground
for these disease carrying insects.
Not only insects but also rats
and mice are attracted during the
night to the trash littering a
street Or highway.
Flies carry typhoid fever, dip
liberia, disentary, tuberculosis.
and numerous other bacterial
diseases. Rats and mice carry
typhus fever which is transmit
ted by fleas living in the fur Of
the rats.
