"It won the game" Bill re-
called. Ship had given the ball
to Bill Kemp three times and had

wheeled and darted around end
to score himself. 1t caught every
body by surprise, including
Kemp, who dove into the end
zone still looking for the ball.
But welcome as the victory
was, it took the cautious board OF
athletic control a year to make
up its mind about hiring Byrd.
The Western Maryland victory
kept his hopes alive and DR..
Richardson's eloquence finally
won it over. Byrd was writing
sports for The Star at the time
and Hotel was on the sports
stan Of The Post. When Byrd
got. the good news he hurried
down the Street and told Bill,
who promptly made over the
sheet and scooped Curley on his
own appointment.
Bill knows Maryland and its
sports background like a book,
but then he helped write the
book because in 1922 Byrd per-
suaded him to take over the
schools sports publicity chores as
a sideline. 1t would be only
temporary, he said. and sure
enough it lasted only Is years.
Hotel, since retired from The
Star, gave 1t up a couple of years
ago but still is in harness as
faculty advisor for student publi-
cations. His outstanding success
in the sports position is reflected
in the IN" Clubs decision to
award him one Of the honorary
memberships to be given Satur-
day night at its annual clam
bake at College Park.
Bill was a well-rounded sports
writer before he turned to the
executive side and gave up writ
ing for editing. He covered the
Washington baseball team for
spell and was as close to Walter
johnson as two-day growth OF
beard. He was an expert in
tennis and still regards the illus
trious Connie Doyle as the only

developed in Washington. He COW

of the deal under consideration is
that Jake Jones, a first baseman
and Pesky would be exchanged for
Mickey Vernon, the Nat first base

What makes President Clark
Griffith of the Mats appear bit
warmer for such a deal than he was

Revised 0ptometry Bill
Introduced by Dirksen

Designed to meet objections of

bill for regulation of optometry here,
revised measure was introduced in
the House today by Representative
Dirksen. Republican, of Illinois.
The bill went to the House Dis
trict Committee, of which Mr.. Dirk
sen is chairman.
The new measure provides that
optonetry is declared to be a pro-
fession." The Medical Society dur
ing hearings on the original bill
had strongly protested against a
provision in the first measure which
called optometry Learned pro-
fession."
Some changes were made in the
original bill to regulate advertising
by optometrists. But the new meas
ure still would prohibit advertising
by optometrists of any prices, terms
of = credit, discounts, gifts or any
guarantee of satisfaction"
Stricken from the earlier bill was
a provision (which would give the
Board of Optometry power to regu-
late the ethical practice" of optom-
etry. But the board still would be
empowered to enforce regulations
against 'unprofessional conduct"
