out to protest. another Is was
tackled on. Tom Gargan then
passed 18 yards to Sampson for
the last score.
Another .15-yard penalty for
Columbia clipping on the follow
ing kickon left Cornell running
plays inside the 10 as the game
ended.
Each team had Is first downs
that didn't mean a thing. Cornell
rushed the ball 1852 yards and
passed for 159 with Dorset COM
pleting seven of IL. Columbia
gained 1875 on the ground and 119

pitching to Cornell backs. The
sophomore completed 10 of "a but
five were intercepted.
FleiSchmann, who suffered a
brain conclusion in early fall
practice and then Temporarily

IL times and gained 81 yards in
his three-touchdown spree.
After the game Little, in ex-
planning his walk of protest, said,

Ed Kozdeba successfully con.

but when Fordham scored its f1naI
touchdown with a second to play
students already were tearing
down the goal posts.
Thus, with nothing to kick
through, Bill White. the second
string quarterback, passed tc
Jimmy Maloney for the 42nd
point.
The Rams rolled up 265 yards on
the ground, SO Of them by the
seemingly unstoppable Stan
Bloomer. They made 1872 yards in
the air and totaled 19 first downs
in addition to their six touch
downs. -...
The Hoyas gained los on the

In the first half. They also made

Billy Conn, the Hoyas' biggest
ground gamer this season, was
held to 40 yards in 13 carries,
Frank Mattingly. their aerial ex-
pert. completed II of 81 passes,
but most Of them short tosses
Two Of his throws were inter-
cepted, and he was thrown for
huge losses on several other at
tempts.
Dick Doheny. Fordham's passer
with the amazing record for &C
curacy. had his greatest day in
football. The junior from Tea
Neck, N. j., completed II Of IA
passes. three Of them for touch
downs. For the season, his per-
centage of accuracy is far better
than so per cent. Doheny had all
the time in the. world to pass in
comparison with Mattingly, who
was rushed and was getting off
hurried throws.
Fordham played hard-hitting
football. -Four Georgetown players
were carried off the f1eld-Johnny
Hughes, Bob Keller, Jim Ricca and
Art Sheridan. Only Keller re-
turned to action. Hughes, who was
carried to the dressing room on
a stretcher, was reported to have
received a slight conclusion.
It was bitter pill for the
Hoya's coach, Bob Margarita,
whose team has defeated Wake
Forest, Boston College and Holy
Cross in winning four out Of five
games. Georgetown had believed
it would win this one in a photo
finish.
The Hoyas had the best of the
early sparring, but once Fordham
got rolling, the Rams blocked to
perfection on their first touchdown
march of 80 yards. Larry Higgins
scored from the three-yard line
after hts 37-yard dash with q
pitchout from Doheny setting up
the score. Fordham was stopped
twice on the three before Higgins
powered the ball over.
With Conn and Hughes carry
ing for moderate gains and
Mattingly hitting on about halt
his passes to various receivers, the
Hoyas came back to drive to Ford
hams Is, where the drive sput-
tered to q stop.
Fordham then marched back
81 yards with Zip" Viracola and
Bloomer making yardage in big
chunks and Maloney taking q
seven-yard pass from Doheny for
the touchdown.
Georgetown had nothing left
for the second half. The Rams
marched 66 yards the first time

Study Of Traffic Needs

Another bridge across the Ana

Commissioner Gordon R. Young

Roads Administration is asked to
join District officials in general
survey of the traffic needs of the
District.

Gen. Young. the area is the ma

struction should be started about

Traffic Load Might Shift.
One Of the plans now being con-
sidered is a survey of the starting
points and destinations of drivers
who use the present Anacostia
bridges-the Sousa and the
Eleventh street bridges. BY 1851,
the traffic load might shift and it
would be necessary to place the
bridge at some other location than
Gen Young said.
Another project being studied is
a bridge across the Potomac at
which would be con-
nected with a freeway in Ana
costa by which north and south
bound traffic could be routed out
of the congested downtown area.
This freeWay might be connected
with the proposed Massachusetts,
avenue bridge and routed to Bla-
densburg road.

Mr.. Young also said work on
the superstructure of the new
Highway Bridge span will be re-
sumed early next month. The
work was held up temporarily
until enough steel was on hand to
keep the men working.
The new bridge is expected to
be opened about November 5.

Rutland Urges
D. {. TO License
All Hospitals
Proposal Is Advanced
As Aid in Maintaining
High Standards Here

In an effort to improve the
hospital situation in the District.
Health Director George c. Ruh-
land has suggested to the Com
missioners that all hospitals in
the city be licensed.
Under the present arrangement.
the hospitals are not licensed. but
the Health Department does in
spect them through its sanitary
and food inspection services.
1t is believed that if the hos
pitfalls were forced to obtain liz
censes every year, the Health De-
partment would have more super
vision over them in maintaining
high standards of operation.
DR.. Rutland has suggested that
the District prepare a formal ap-
plication blank which would be
used by all hospitals and process
sed through the License Bureau
in the same manner set up for
other establishments. The appli-
cations could then be referred
for approval to the fire marshal.
building inspector, the Health De-
partment or any other agency Of
the District concerned.
Talks With Officials.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assist
ant health officer who is CO.
ordinator of hospitals. said he had
discussed the matter with District
hospital officials and they were
agreeable to the plan. The pro-
cedure would not make a great
deal of difference to the large
hospitals, but some smaller ones
might be refused licenses on the
contention that they are GONZALES
cent homes and not hospitals. it
was stated.
The licenses would be good for
one year and a refusal to renew
a license would furnish a device
by which the District could COM
pei hospitals to meet its require
ments.
Many States now have licensing
provisions for hospitals, it was
said.
The question of licensing hos
pitfalls came up recently when the
Health Department received an
inquiry concerning whether or not
a certain institution in the Dis
trict was licensed to operate.
Hospitals Not Licensed.
Considerable time was spent
i lsearching the files of the Health
department. the Office Of secre-
tary of the District Commission
ers, the Engineers Office and the
Superintendent of Licenses. 1t
then was learned that hospitals
in the District are not licensed.
A law of 1895 requires that all
private hospitals" of the District
obtain "a permit from the Com
missioners," but the law has never
been enforced in the matter OF
licensing. health officials said.

B|ick Says FEC Action
Will Help Curb Phone
Service for Bookies

1t. Roy Blick, head of the vice
squad. predicted yesterday that
the interest of the Federal Com

ing telephone service to bookies
will make it tougher for gamblers
to get and keep telephones here.
1t. Blick said the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. is doing
everything it can now to keep
telephones out of gambling es-
Adjustments, but he said the FEC
move would strengthen its hand.
The FEC has asked telephone
companies to file with it a regu-
lation against installing tele-
phones for illegal use.
1t. Blick said that with this
regulation behind it, the telephone
companies might be willing to re-
move telephones on the basis OF
a police report that known gam
blers without any other visible
means of support were making
regular visits to a certain place
He said this might be done with
out a police raid.
1000 Phones Removed.
The vice squad chief estimated
that 1000 telephones have been
removed after raids during his
four years as head Of the squad
Under a working agreement with
the telephone company, he said
telephones are not reinStalled al
these addresses without police ap-
proval.
1t. Blick could recall only one
case where he had given such
approval. In that case, he said
a doctor gave his affidavit that
the woman seeking the telephone
was seriously i'll and needed the
telephone to summon her doctor
Despite the precautions of the
telephone company, 1t. Blick said
approximately 80 per cent of the
horse race betting system here is
conducted by telephone.
Relay System Used.
He said he believed all bookie
switchboards had been eliminated
but a relay system of making bets
is now in effect. A man, he eX-
planned. may place a bet at 6
cigar stand. The bet is then re-
layed to an intermediate point

to the headquarters of the booking
business which might have foul

1t Blick said six telephones
could be located in a single house
without being detected if the tele-
phones were ordered in different
names. had different exchange:
and we're supposedly for different
apartments within a house.
To avert the suspicion of tele'
phone installers, 1t. Blick said
some gamblers put numbers or
