The Jackson College Tigers will
get their first test of the season
when they meet the Alabama State
Hornets, in Alumni Stadium at
Jackson College Saturday night.

regarded as an unknown quantity

passing combination was generally
responsible for the Alcorn score
except for one touchdown, when
big bruising Jack Sphinx, after
shaking off two Bishop tackles,
swept everything out of his wav
to add his efforts to the Alcorn
victory.
The Braves showed marked
weakness in only one department
OF the game, missing the extra
point in the first five tries after
they had touchdowned. The game
was slowed considerably by what
appeared to be an excessive a.
mount of penalties against both
teams with Alcorn being the big
gest sufferer. The red handker-
chief which was dropped on al
most every play during the first
half of the game, appeared tc
have gotten on the nerve of the
spectators in winning its first
game of the season, even against
what proved to be a weak oppon-
ent the Alcorn College Braves APP

among the strong contenders for
national honors this year.

The LADIES HAVE A RACKET
Continued from page thirteen

"In August she really topped
her own record. In that one month
she returned more than hundred
per cent of the merchandise pur-
chased. Some of the things she'd
bought two months before were
included in her returns. But at the
time we got the letter from her
husband. our records didn't show
this.
He wanted detailed state
ment of all his wife's purchases
for the last three months. Seems
he was an official of the local Build
ing and Loan Association on
modest salary. His wife went to
all sorts of social functions which
he often found it impossible to
attend.
Consequently. he hadn't no
ticed she'd been wearing a differ
ent dress at every dance or dinner.
But some other people in his COM
munity had noticed - and they
began to wonder how he was able
to buy his wife so many expensive
clothes. Finally one of his friends
tipped off the husband. So he got
in touch with US.

practices - they also know

For a time. especially in the

a big upset of the Bulldogs, 2l-

cashed in.

Redskins Try Today
10 Stay on Winning
Side Against Eagles
stor SsoH correspendsnf

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27. - A
Redskins eleven that got up off the
floor after three straight setbacks
to beat the Chicago Cardinals last
week, goes back for more against
the Philadelphia Eagles here to-
morrow.
The game matches two former
Redskins teammates as rival
strategists, with Dick Todd as
head coach Of the Washington
team and Wayne Millner, former
Redskins end, pulling the strings
on the Eagles. Millner. with bet
ter balanced cast to work with, is
expected to have a winner.
The Redskins 120-piece band,
still undefeated. will be an added
attraction. Under the baton of
Dick Viancour. the band will pa
rade before the game and enter
tain between halves.
Baugh and Gilmer Ready.
The Eagles have won their last
eight games with the Redskins,
rolling up 68 points to 3 in two
meetings last year, but Washing
ton has high hopes for a reversal.
Although still hobbled by minor
injuries. the Tribe will have both
Sammy Baugh and Harry Gilmer
ready for service and they should
give the Eagles a busy afternoon.
Todd has worked hard to i'm
prove the Redskins offense,
which produced only 38 points
and one victory in four games.
Gilmer missed the Cardinals
game because Of a bruised foot
and Baugh. handicapped by an
ailing shoulder, threw only seven
passes. It should be different to-
morrow.
Eagles to Attempt Comeback.
The Eagles will attempt a
comeback at the Redskins ex-
pense after blowing early leads
to lose their last two games. They
were nosed out by the undefeated
New York Giants last week. But
in all their games the Eagles
have shown plenty of power, and
may have too much Of it for
Washington.
Pitching against them at some
time during the afternoon will
be Adrian Burk, who was drafted
oy the Redskins from the dis
banded Baltimore Colts and
traded to the Eagles for Rookie
Jack Dwyer.
