only DO they need 1t for a good
record. but they also are looking
to avenge last years upset 1877
George Washington victory.
A victory tomorrow will give
Georgetown its best record since
1940. That year the Hoyas lost
only to Boston College in the reg
ular season and went to the 1941
Orange Bowl, where they dropped
q disputed 14-7 decision to Mis-
sissippi State. That was George
towns only other bowl trip.
Cards Played in Sun Bowl. =
| When the Hoyas go to the Sun
Bowl they will be the second
Washington team there. Catho-
lie University under Coach Dutch
Bergman made the trip in 1910
and played a 1926 tie with Ari-
roma State (Tempe). West vir-
Iginia and Virginia Tech are other
teams from this section that have
played In the Sun Bowl.
Georgetown's three defeats have
been to Maryland, Villanova and
Fordham, all powerful teams,
while it has won over some good
clubs. On the record are upset
trAlmphs over Holy Cross, Wake
Forest and Boston College. plus
expected wins over New York U.
and Denver. Z
| Tomorrow. though, the George
town players promise their minds
will not be on a bowl trip, but
ION the task of beating George
washington. Both teams indicate
they are full of respect for the
opposition. Georgetown's Coach
Bob Margarita Is calling the G. w.
line one of the toughest his play
] ers have faced this season, and
lit has the added advantage of
working the, cross blocks and
traps possible with the single
wing. It will be the only SINGLE
wing team Georgetown has gone
against this season. and both
teams are claiming that as a
disadvantage.
Both Backfields Dangerous.
Both teams have talented back
fields. The Hoyas this year have
come up with sophomore pass
ing star in Quarterback Frank
Mattingly to match the heaves
|of George Washington's Andy
Davis. Davis also is a sophomore
but earned a big measure of foot
ball fame last year as a freshman
playing varsity football.
The running attack at George
town is built around Left Half
back Billy Conn and Right Half
Dick Barba. Subs due for action
in those sports are Babe Baranow-
ski and Johnny Preston. At full
back the Hoyas will have John
Hughes and Lou Miller.
Fullback Is the big running spot
at George Washington and that's
the position from which dan
gerous AL Du Goff operates. Davis

Do Railroads Put
Lives Ahead Of
Almighty Dollar

Chicago (LPA) - Which should
come frst-lives or dollars2 That's
the question that leaders Of two
railroad brotherhoods flung into
the teeth Of the railroads in answer
to "featherbedding" charges raised
by the rail carriers.
The two observation-disclosures
tive Engineers, and the Locomotive
Firemen & Enginemen-are fight
ing for employment Of an extra
man in the power generating rooms
of the huge multiple-unit Diesel
locomotives which are rapidly re-
placing the old steam "Iron Horse" "
At present, the Diesels are man
ned only by an engineer and fire.
man in the front cab, with no en-
ploye to watch the rolling power
plants in back, or to make repairs
or guard against hazards which
might bring disaster.
For the safety of passengers and
property, the Brotherhoods insist
a man should be placed in the
power sections of the Diesels at all
times. The railroads have counter
ed with full-page advertisements in
the newspapers labelling this de-
mand as "featherbedding3 and
"make-work". They contend the
Diesels are "foolproof" and need
no attention.
President D. B. Robertson of the
Locomotive Firemen & Enginemen
answered that by citing the 1948
report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission which, he said, showed
that in case after case Diesel
wrecks have occurred because the
fireman had left his post in the
front cab to check on trouble in
the power units back Of the cab.
"Many Of these accidents were
preventable, but the railroads as
usual prefer to trade lives and pro-
perty for dollars" Robertson de-
clared.
In refusing to grant the request
for an extra man, the railroads are
simply seeking to save a few dol
lars and they are using the "feath-
erbedding" scare as smokescreen,
he said. "It's a case of neglecting
the public interest for the sake of
dollars for themselves" he added.
Similarly, j. P. Shields, first as
sistant grand chief of the Locomo-
tive Engineers, described to a Pres
idential Emergency Board fatal
rail disasters which have occurred
because Diesel power units had
gone untended while trains were
shooting along at high speeds.
The board is to come down with
recommendation on the issue after
the hearings are completed.

For All Members
OF Farm Union

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
Arrangements are being worked
out with the Union Labor Life In
surance Co. of New York to pro-
vide each member Of the National
Farm Labor Union with a $3.50 in
surance policy as a part of the
benefits he or she receives from

ed to the local unions for vote of

insurance will be borne by the ma
tional union and the locals without

dividual member. If adopted, the
program will go into effect April

been in good standing for 8 months
or more will be covered, provided
he or she is not over 60 years Of
age at the time of joining the
union.
No medical examinations are re-
quired and payment will be made
upon the death Of member to his
beneficiary. The insurance program
is being handled by a committee
appointed by the national execu-
tive board. The committee is COM
posed Of President H. l.. Mitchell,
Board Member F. T. Riley of Flor
ida and |. Lee Parker, national re-
preventative in Louisiana.
