New Acoustics Tests

House and Senate chambers wher
Congress reconvenes January 3?
The answer to this question Ii
expected in a day or so, wher
Architect of the Capitol Davic
Lynn conducts the first officia,
test OF the new acoustics.
AS soon as all furniture is ir
place and wall coverings have
been finished, Mr.. Lynn said, I'VE
expect to try it out" He did not
tell how this will be done but he
expects a great improvement over
the old situation.
Legislators should be able tc
hear each other better on the
floors, and visitors and press rep
resentatives in the galleries should
have much easier listening above
Mr.. Lynn believes.
Old Steel Beams Gone.
Gone are the gaunt old steel
beams, which supported the dan
gerously weakened old roofs. New
stainless steel ceilings are full OF
tiny holes for air-conditioning and
sound absorbtion. Around the gal
lery walls have been installed
thick acoustical materials. In the
House this material is covered
with panels of blue and silver
tapestry. Workmen today were
completing the job Of covering
the entire Senate gallery wall with
with a gold-colored tapestry Of in
distinct design.
All the historic Senate desks
and chairs have been restored tt
their original places in the cham.
Der. after having served the 81st
Congress, since July 4. in the
smaller, older Senate chamber ir
the Capitol. House seats, which
had been stored in the big rotunda
of the Capitol, have been placed
back in the reconditioned House
chamber and are being repaired
Press facilities, which had beer
temporarily set up in corridor
on the Senate side. will be movec
in a day or two to the remodelec
Senate Press Gallery. There new
lighting, air-conditioning. anc
acoustical treatment have beer
installed, and telephone service i.
being put in today.
The House Press Gallery, which
has been temporarily located ir
the new House Office Building
soon will be moved back to its
reconditioned quarters.
To Be Ready January 3.
All will be ready, Mr.. Lynn said
for Congress to convene in the
renovated quarters when the Sec
ond regular session Is called to
order on January 3. Only a few
finishing touches remain, he said
and everything should be com.
plete by the middle Of next week
This is the first phase Of the
big two-part job Of undermining
the House and Senate halls, but
65 per cent of the overall task Ii
done, Mr.. Lynn said. Not only
have new roofs, ceilings, and gal.
lery walls been installed, but al
the new electrical. air-condition.
ing and acoustical equipment hal
been completed on both sides.
Next summer, after Congress
quits, changes will be made in thu
architectural treatment Of TIT
chambers from the galleries to the
floor. New, gallery seats will be
put in both chambers and House
members will get new and more
comfortable seats. But the Sen.
ators will retain their historic
desks and chairs.

Coach Herman Ball, new Red
skin chief strategist. has resigned
himself to another free-scoring
pigskin parade when the Phila-
delphia Eagles come to town Sun
day. Ball hasn't revealed his
hand, but his strategy seems to
be aimed at running up q score
on the Eagles and trusting his
own defenses are strong enough
to hold Greasy Neale's gang to
a reasonable number of points
Since slogging through the mud
to a TO victory over the New
York Bulldogs in their flrst game
|of the season, the Eagles have
averaged better than 80 points q
game. They have hit a Appoint
pace in their last three and right
now seem to be at their scoring
peak.
/ One Of Neale's most effective
maneuvers Is a pass from one
eyed Tommy Thompson to Pete
Pihos. It's a short throw, directly
over the line and the coach who
dreams up q defense for 1t will
have to be the seventh son OF
q seventh son.
"It's effective because it is tied
in so well with one Of their best
running plays" Ball explained. 1T
starts out as a running play with
Steve Van Buren carrying the ball
and Pihos coming down to block
the defensive left halfback Our
back has to delay long enough to

Hubert, Arrone Drill
For KeyCard Roles
Against Shoremen

Catholic University's gridmen
will shoot the works against
Washington College at Brookland
Saturday in an effort to give the
Homecoming crowd something to
yell about.
Coach Jan Jankowski has
worked out . couple Of new stunts
he thinks may bother the Shore
men. but he is counting on the
Cardinals themselves to give the
visitors their biggest jolt. jan
kowski hasn't been q conservative
coach his first year at the helm
and Saturdays game should be
a wide-open affair.
Whitley Hubert, q rugged full
back who does everything. is one
lad who'll get a chance to show
his wares against Washington.
Hubert is Z consistent punter. al
though Joe Mauiri's long distance
booting has kept him idle In this
department. He happens to be a
fairly good passer. but not on par
with Joe Dunn. He is a rip-roar-
ing line-bucker and In this respect
has shared the fullbacking chores
with Bill De Young. The two Of
them promise to give the Wash
ington line a thorough testing.
Jankowski also hopes to shake
loose little Gene Arrone at some
time during the game. His 5-foot-
4. 140-pound frame is hard to spot
in q broken field, especially when
Arrone gets up steam, and the
coach has designed a couple Of
new plays especially for him.
The CARDINALS are drilling over
time to be at their best for the old
grads. Even Joe Dunn, whose
practice heretofore has consisted
only Of suiting up for Saturday
games, is working out daily. It
seems to be q good omen.

Redskins Hope to Run Up Score,
Then OutIost Potent EoqIes

Its such a good play we're
thinking Of using it ourselves" +"
Ball added.
The Redskins hope to be able
to open their bag Of magic Sun
day and show the Eagles few
plays they haven't seen the Tribe
try in years. There isn't a new
stunt In the lot, as Ball pointed
out, but he intends to give them
a Whirl and let the customers see
for themselves how they look.
THE Eagles, Chicago Bears,
Los Angeles Rams-any team
using the T-has the same stuff, "
Herman said. But on them it
looks good. Anything that works
looks good. but when the same
stuff backfires it's terrible"
Ball said Harry Gilmer will get
another chance to display his
passing whip against the Eagles,
although Sammy Baugh isn't
going to warm the bench all aft
ernoon. The coach is going to
use both early in the game and
find out quickly which of1enses
work best. Whichever thrower
kicks up the most dust will do
most Of the work.
The Tribe is in its finest physi-
cal condition Of the season, as a
whole. although a couple of the
boys are not at their tip-top best.
They look good enough to give
the Eagles run for the marbles,
however, or at least improve on

in the first game at Philadelphia
