Kid Gavi|an, Winner
Over Pe||one, Hopes
To Fight Robinson
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Kid Gavi-
Ian, flashy Cuban contender, will
leave for Havana in a day or two
with the hope that he will return
early in the year to meet Welter-
weight Champion Ray Robinson In
title bout.
Gavilan, who won decisive, unan-
imous 10-round decision over tough
Tony Pellone of New York in Madi-
son Square Garden last night, is
anxious to meet the sugar man for
the 147-pound crown.
The Cuban kid lost q nontitle
fight to Robinson in Yankee Sta
dunn last September. Robinson
weighed $50 for that scrap, and Cav
ilan's handlers-as we'll as the Kid
himself-believe the Cuban can lift
the title at the division weight.
While Robinson is not saying any,
thing yet, Harry Markson, the goth
Century Sporting Club managing
director, would like to stage q title
bout between the pair In January.
February or March. Or, for that
matter, any time Robinson says he
Is ready.
Havana also would like to have
the title fight. Ernesto Azua, an
official of the Cuban Sports Com
mission who attended last nights
fight, said the commission would
guarantee Robinson $4,000 to put
his title on the line against Gavilan
in Cuba.
Gavilan has q bout scheduled for
December I in Havana with Ben
Buker, Spanish welterweight cham
pion. After that the kid plans to
take it easy and return to New York,
January Is.
If he's not signed with Robinson
then, he might take on either Pei
lone in a return bout, or Beau Jack.
former lightweight champ. Beau
Jack is now fighting in the welter-
weight class.
Pellone, scaling l46A, made last
nights scrap interesting in the first
three and last four rounds. He was
slowed up, however, in the fourth by
Gavilan, and lost that round as
Well as the fifth and the sixth. He
got his pep back in the seventh, but
it was too late. 0GVilan weighed
lat.

posed to be an offensive back when
the Skins signed him. They also
had traded the rights to Charley

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-1t's
beginning to look as II Georgetown's
football team, instead Of improving
as the season progresses, is falling
apart. It's been a long time since
any Hilltop eleven absorbed q more
thorough beating than Jack Hag-
erty's band carried back to Wash
ington today after losing to Villa
nova, 3e to Z.
Once hopeful Of topping the Dis
trict's big Three" Georgetown
now must be counted fortunate II
1t beats George Washington. a 47-0
victim of Maryland, next week. On
their showing last night in Shibe
! Park the Hoyas hardly can be rated
favorites.
The highly touted Billy Conn sat
out the massacre, but it seemed un-
likely that Billy would have made
any difference. The Hoyas weren't
iup for the battle and until late In
the final period, when Villanova
was using third and fourth-stringers,
they were fumbling, butter
! fingered, sloppy, slow-thinkins team
which by its ineptness began to
send the 1e.500 spectators home
early.
Pasquariello Heads Attack.
! In fairness to Georgetown, it was
facing 4 first-rate eleven, probably
the best its played all year, includ-
ing Boston College. The Wildcats
are q high-scoring team, stopped
only by Army, and the Hoyas had
no defenses to stem their hard
running backs. Ralph Paequariello,
leader of the villanova attack,
scored their first three touchdowns
and averaged nearly IL yards per
carry in the first half.
Coach Hagerty apparently sensed
early in the evening that his team
was outclassed and so withheld the
injured Conn for George Washing
ton. But II Conn makes all the
difference between a creditable per-
formance and a very poor exhibition,
the Hoyas' chances would appear
no better than fair.
Pasquariello. q 21-year-old junior
from Everett, Mass. was the star
Of the villanova of1ense. He car
ried 81 times for q net Of 1870 yards
and demonstrated that he could
bowl over G.. us big linemen and
also outrun the Hoyas secondary.

A Worm Factory
Bv JAMES BIRCHFIELD

This first worm order
started something at the
Lennon house. Mrs. Lem
mon and daughter Ruth, IL,
got interested, and those first
worms have developed into
a business.
Mr.. Lennon raises them in
boxes in his basement and
sells them to organic garden
ers all over the country. He
is now negotiating with a
South African organization
which wants to buy a million
or so worm eggs.
The Lennon worms are
"domesticated" worms. They
are a special breed, called
Eisenia Foetida by scientists,
and, according to Mr.. Lem
mon, will not migrate like the
native breed, Lumbricus Ter
restriS. Though smaller in
size than the natives, the do
mesticated worms multiply
faster.
Put a handful of hybrid
worms at the base of a tree
or shrub" MIR. Lennon said.
mulch the ground with or
ganic matter and they will
stay there and multiply, en-
riching the ground every
year."
In breeding his worms, MIR.
Lennon uses a culture con-
sisting of topsoil, manure and
hay. To this, he adds a small
amount of eggmash and a few
spoonfuls of molasses.
He puts a few worms into a
wooden box containing this
mixture, dampens the mix
ture and stores it in a cool
part of his basement. At the
end of 80 days, he divides the
contents of the box. He has
obtained as may as 5000
worms from a single box
smaller than the drawer of a
filing cabinet.
After the worms have con-
sumed all the organic mat
ter in the boxes, he sits the
soil and uses it in his potted
plants. This soil Is called
worm castings" and Is some
times sold to greenhouses.
"Once you learn what earth
worms will do for you, you'll
never do without them" MIR.
Lennon said. They are one
OF the greatest helpers a gar
dener ever had"
Evening star., 1948-02-22

THE EARTHWORM, though
Il small in size. Is a mighty
animal. Give him a few
leaves and bits of straw, and
the proper moisture, and he
can turn the poorest land
into a luxuriant garden.
This. at least, has been the
experience of Lawrence Lem
mon, a land planner with the
Federal Housing Administra-
ton, who raises hybrid earth
worms at his home at asia
South Fourth street, Arling-
ton
Mr.. Lennon likes to show
you a sample of the red clay
soil he started with in 1914,
and then take you out in his
garden to show you a five
year old Golden Delicious
tree that bore l8 apples last
year-five or six years ahead
of schedule.
"Horticulturists have taken
the tree to be at least 10 years
DID," MIR. Lennon said. 1T
just goes to prove what soil.
rich in organic matter, will
do for you"
MIR. Lennon explained that
the worms eat the leaves and
other bits of organic matter
and thus mix it with the soil.
Samples of soil manufac-
tured by his worms have been
tested by experts at Penn
sylvania State College, from
which MIR. Lennon was grad
uated in landscape architec-
ture In 1880, and at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
F. G. Merkle, professor of
soil technology at Penn State,
reported that the soil sample
was very high in nitrates,
phosphates and potash.
THE total soluble salt con-
tent Is so high" Prof. Merkle
reported, that I question if
plants could grow in it salts
factorily. It could be used as
a fertilizer"
Mr.. Lennon has been gar
dening at his home since
1914, when he won second
prize in the Arlington County
Victory Garden contest. For
two years, he tried to improve
his soil by mulching and by
growing cover crops, and then
about two years ago, he or
dered a few earthworms from
an Ohio farm.

the Society should be carried on In
the future In the same tradition as
in the past, that they were dis
turbed by dismissals and resigna-
tions Of the professional stan Of the
Society and requested an opportun-
ity to meet with the board to discuss
this matter. This letter was an
swered by the president to each OF
the parents.
This SUBJ committee found that
generally the work Of the society
was well received. that the resigna-
tons Of some of the members Of the
staff resulted in . slight interrupt
ton, services by these were restored
~ soon rs was possible, and that
publicity should be had on the serv-
ices offered by the society 80 that
the general public might become
more familiar with the work.
CONCLUSION
I'm the submission of this report,
attention is directed to the fact
that the society suffered from q too
rapid expansion and a previous in
active board of directors. The entire
work of running the affairs Of the
society without any definite policy
having been established fell upon
the shoulders of the executive secre-
tary. In her endeavor to give each
member OF her professional staff I'M
limited freedom in the performance
of their duties, personality clashes
arose which neceSsitated in the sew
erance of some Of these workers
from the society.
"It is the thought of this COM
mittee that the various studies made
by the subcommittee, while cast
ing no reflection on the past &C
complishments Of the Society show
good present picture As regards
to the services available. The many
important recommendations made
by the subcommittee having been
accepted by the members Of the
board Of directors, and the fact
that these subcommittee were
perpetuated to effect the changes
and recommendations made by
them show a good future for the
crippled children's program.
"The reorganization Of the So
ciety, as a result of the study Of
these subcommittee, will in the
opinion OF this committee, result in
q better relationship between the
