WARRENTON. Va, Feb. o.
Fauquier County officials have
come up with a lease dated March
Is, 1777, which leaves no doubt
in their minds that George Wash
ington was just as smart land
lord as any who are living today.
Thomas E. Bartenstein, county
clerk, says the lease is the only
paper in county records, to his
knowledge. which bears an au-
thentic Washington signature.
The lease is proof, he says, that
Washington once was large land
owner in the county.
The lease is registered between
George Washington of Mount
Vernon, County of Fairfax, and
Colony of Virginia, Esquire, of the
one part, and Edward Wiseley of
Fauquier County, carpenter, of the
other part"

at Alexandria yesterday took un-

wounded by a guard at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier.
Government attorneys admitted

guards gun wounded Mrs. Beulah
Irene Coslett as she sat in her
Arlington Farms apartment in No
vember. 1948. The apartment is
about 800 yards from the tomb.
The soldier fired in the direction
OF noise he thought was made by
night providers.
Mrs. Coslett is suing the Gov
ernment for 100000 under the
Federal Tort Claims Act. She
claims the bullet struck her below
the left knee, came out the back
of her leg and re-entered her left
thigh. AS result, she claims to
have lost use of her left foot.
Judge Bryan heard the case
without jury. His decision
hinges on whether the Govern
ment is liable. Attorney George

versity nuts?
He's the coach who showed that
the Southwest Conference. noted
for it's passing, was just in its
infancy until now. The con-
ference as a pass-happy, tricky
running circuit has stepped to
full stature with the coming of
the gangling, freckled touchdown
getter of the Methodists.
Russell has been known for
more than two decades as one
of the finest coaches in the game,
But his fame didn't get outside
Texas until he went to Southern
Methodist.
For % years he was a high
school coach. Then for five he
was assistant to Matty Bell at
SMU. This year he stepped up
as head coach when Bell retired
to the job as athletic director.

When Southern Methodist de-

where he was an all-Texas Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association end.
He started coaching at Granger.
Tex, High School. was at Temple
High School for four years, then
moved to Masonic Home at Fort
Worth.
At Masonic Home he put the
razzle into dazzle and had one of
the greatest coaching records in
Texas history. Masonic Home al
ways had few students. There
were times when Russell could
count his football substitutes on
one hand. But the Masons, who
became known as "the Mighty
Mites" wrote flaming history in
Texas schoolboy football. In 16
years at Masonic Home, Russells
teams won 126 games, lot 81, tied
nine and had three undefeated
seasons against the best in high
school football.
II believe my experience at Ma
sonic Home was the greatest thing
I ever got in my coaching career" "
says Russell. "Since I had little
material and my boys were small.
I knew I had to do something new
in order to compete with the
