CIV Ready TO Test
'Two-PIatoon Plan
In Virginia Game
By George Huber

The tWo-team system Coach
Bo Sherman planned for George
Washington's football team this
year finally will go into effect for
Saturdays game against Virginia
in Alexandria, the coach says.
Sherman's idea was to use "a"
and "B" units of approximately
equal strength. with a new group
going in to start each quarter.
but so far in the winning games
against Virginia Military and
North Carolina State he hasn't
followed this system. He's start
ed with his strongest lineup and
substituted individually as the
occasion arose.
He did come close to it when
he sent in nine fresh men to
start the. second period against
State last Saturday plus another
big group for the last four min
utes of the first half. 1t was after
studying movies of how we'll the
team did following those changes
that he decided to go all-out with
the system against Virginia.
Situations Block Plan.
"It's one thing to sit here IN
the office and think about it." he
said yesterday. "but it's another
thing to do it on the field. Some
thing is always coming up, like
somebody important being in
jured. or the game situation de-
manding that I keep this fellow
in who's good on defense or some
other fellow in who can do the
kind of running or passing I
need at this particular point"
The return to action of two
important tackles, John Prach
and John Posta, relieves slight
manpoWer shortage in the line,
and the Improvement shown by
Arlin Barr. a speedy little half
back, helps out in the backf1eld,
making the tWo-team system
more practical.
I've got to keep fresh players
in there" Sherman said. This
is pretty rough game. and I
don't care how good a player is,
he's not as good as a player who
maybe doesn't have as much
talent but who isn't tired and
all beat up."
Hopes to Wear Down Virginia.
So Sherman is going to bal
ance up his squad between now
and Saturday to get two elevens
Of approximately equal strength.
Neither will be the best eleven
he could field, but he hopes to
have about the same amount of
running. passing, kicking and
defensive ability on both units
and keep the pressure on Vir-
ginia all the way.
maybe we won't be as good
as Virginia at the start" Sher-
man remarked, land it could be
we won't be as good as Virginia
at the end. But we can sort
of hope that if I keep my play
ers from wearing out, we'll be
able to wear down Virginia in
the second half"

CHICAGO, Oct. THE Cubs
today that Phil
Cavarretta. 36-year-old veteran
Of 20 seasons with the club. has
signed to manage the team again
next season. His salary under
the one-year contract was not
made public.
The announcement ended re-
curing rumors that the former
first baseman and outf1elder
would be replaced because of
the Cubs disappointing season.
The club finished seventh. 40
games behind the pennant-win-
ming Dodgers.
The Chicago-born Cavarretta,
a hero in his first full season
with the Cubs. took the man
aging job in July. 1851, when
frankie Frisch was fired.
At the time, his appointment
by Owner Phil Wrigley was con-
sidered stopgap move. He took
over with the club in seventh
place. 1t wound up eighth, but
Wrigley hired him again for SO
and the Cubs were rated the
most improved team in the
league as they turned in a 500
record and finished fifth.
Drastic Changes Expected.
.Cavarretta, now at his home
at Dallas, Tex, is expected to
make drastic changes in his
coaching staff, which includes
Ray Blades. Charley Root, Spud
Davis and Roy Johnson. It is
expected that all except Blades,
former manager of the Cardi-
mails, will be released.
Wild Matthews. personnel di-
rector of the Cubs who an
nounced the rehiring of CAVIAR
retta. said:
I'VE feel Phil did a good job
with an injury plagued team last
season and rated a new con-
tract"
Injuries to players like Hank
Sauer played an important part
in the Cubs collapse, but a sud-
den turnabout by the pitching
staff was even more glaring. The
teams hitting. second best in the
league in 50, fell off to seventh.
Hacker Dropped Off.
Warren Hacker. who rated
second in the league with an
earner-run average of 2.58 in
1852 and won Is and lost nine,
turned in a 1919 record this
year with an ERA of 4.28.
Bob Rush, who had been the

Clan
Has Proposal
Under Study
General Manager
Offered Free Rein
By Baltimore Bourd
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. Frank
Lane is seeking his release as
general manager of the White
Sox in order to accept the posi-
ton of general manager with
the Baltimore Orioles, it was
learned reliably today.
Lane would be handed free
rein in running the new Amer
lean League entry at Baltimore
for a f1attering salary and a
chance to hold Oriole stock.
Clarence w. Miles. chairman
of the Orioles board of direc-
tors; Chuck Comiskey, White
SoX vice president, and Lane
conferred yesterday at Comiskey
Park. ostensibly to brief Miles
on major league operations.
The trio denied reports that
Baltimore badly wanted Lane to
direct the former st. Louis
Browns in that city and that
Lane is trying to quit the White
SoX.
Release Under Consideration.
However, it is known that
the Comiskey clan is debating
whether to release Lane from
the final two years of his three
year contract.
1t was learned that Lane feels
the profitable switch to Balti-
more would also give him more
security, in view of the fact the
27-year-old Comiskey has been
groomed from boyhood to run
the White Sox and the time soon
may arrive for him to take full
charge.
Since 1948. when Lane took
over the front Office, the White
Sox have spurted from eighth
place to become pennant con-
tenders the past two seasons,
when they finished third.
Renovated White SOx.
In one of the greatest trading
Splurges in baseball history, Lane
completely renovated the White
SoX roster and brought in Paul
Richards, a bitten strate-
giSt. to manage the club in 1851

ComiSkey repeatedly does not
oppose Lanes effort to move to
Baltimore as much as his mother,
Mrs. Grace r. Comiskey, the club
president. 1t was in a clash with
his mother over salary and job
insecurity that caused Comis-
key to resign as vice president
early in 1852. Four months later
he rejoined the White Sox in the
same capacity.

d. {. Firm Resubmits
Alexandra Bid

An original bid of Victor r..
Beauchamp, Inc, of Washing
ton, to build a Negro housing
development in Alexandria has
been resubmitted to the Re-
development and Housing Au-
thority of the Virginia city.
A Federal court ruling re-
Gently held that the authority
had no right to reject the ST.
157 $40 bid of Beauchamp which
was about $62,500 lower than
the next highest offer for the
148-unit development. Judge Al
bert v. Bryan ruled that the
Washington firm was entitled to
resubmit its offer, previously
withdrawn after the company
had delivered an ultimatum to
the authority.
The authority had refused to
give the contract to the union
shop contractor on the grounds
that such an agreement would
violate State and Federal laws.
Instead, it attempted to award
the contract to the next highest
bidder, Eugene Simpson & Bro.
of Alexandria.
James Davis, secretary of
Beauchamp, said the "unquali-
fed original bid" was placed in
the mail yesterday. Glenn U.
Richard, housing authority
chairman, said that while the
bid had not been received by
this morning, his group will
meet Monday in its administra-

-Four sets of opening exer-

predicted Miss Crook.
Doubling Up for Teachers.
Teachers will have to double
up, with two desks in some
rooms.
Kramer never has been down
to its theoretical capacity since
it opened. Enrolment was up
to 1000 in 1850, when the OPEN
ing of Sousa relieved the situa-
ton temporarily.
But the school becomes hard
to manage, with 1900. At that
point-possibly in September,
1954-part- time classes are like
ly, Miss Crook said.
The proposed new school,
about the same size as Kramer,
would be adjacent to Simon Ele-
mentary School, at Fourth street
and Mississippi avenue Sc. It
would serve Congress Heights
and Patterson School graduates,
along with Simon. It would also
serve the new grade school at
Ninth and Barnaby streets Sc,
opening next winter.
It would serve adults. too. The
building would house a recrea-
ton center badly needed in the
area.
If started this year, the school
probably could open In Fehru-
ary, 1855.
Anacostia parents have had
success in previous campaigns
for new schools. They won ap-
preparations for Stanton, Simon
and the new school at Ninth and
Barnaby streets. More citizens
are united behind this new prof.
ect than any Of the others.

Donohue Answers
Attack Blaming Him
For Drug Addicts

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue today characterized as "irre-
sponSible and misinformed" a
recent statement by the head of
the District Young Republican
Club that there are 1000 drug
addicts in one police precinct
area alone.
Carl L. Shipley. the club presi-
dent, gave the figure in a talk
before the Georgetown Citizens
Association Tuesday. In the talk
Mr.. Shipley placed the blame for
the alleged condition squarely
on Mr.. Donoghue. The club pres
ident added that Mr.. Donohue,
moreover, is responsible for the
District being zone of the worst
run municipalities in the coun-
try"
Commissioner Donohue pro-
duced newspaper clipping re-
porting Mr.. ShipleyS remarks at
the outset Of today's meeting of
the Board of Commissioners.
Calls Shipley Misinformed.
"Mr. Shipley," the Commits
sioner declared to his colleagues
and other city officials, sis ir-
responsible and misinformed."
Mr.. Donohue added that "the
danger inherent in Mr.. Shipley's
statement is that, since he is
president of this club, some
people may think he speaks with
knowledge and authority"
The Commissioner said he did
not know anything of his ac-
cuser's authority, but knows that
he spoke from no knowledge on
the score of drug addicts.
The Commissioner, to back
his statement, produced a re-
port dated yesterday from Police
Chief Robert v. Murray.
The report showed that since
1889 total of 1859 admitted
drug addicts have been inter-
viewed by members of the police
narcotic squad. OF these, 458
are either in penitentiaries or
on bond awaiting trial.
Proposed Bill Cited.
The remaining 811 addicts,
the report declared, probably
would be subject to the pre-
visions of a proposed bill that
would require compulsory hospi-
talization for addiction treat
ment, unless a cure already has
been effected.
Mr.. Donohue compared the
police figure to Mr.. Shipley's
figure, and pointed out that if
the latter total were multiplied
+ by the number of police precincts
here-14Ethe grand total of drug
addicts in Washington would be
1000.
This strikes me as prepos-
terous." the Commissioner said.

NLRB Chairman Splits
With Counsel on Authority

whether the counsel should re-

Act.
Testifying at a House Labor
Committee hearing on proposed
amendments to the law, General
Counsel George j. Bott said he
believed his Office should retain
the independent power to inves-
tigate unfair labor practice
charges and issue complaints.
NLRB Chairman Paul Herzog,
however, told the committee he
believes the separation Of func-
tionS has done more harm than
good" although he said he would
not want to return to the Situa-
ton which existed under the
Wagner Act prior to passage Of
Taft-Hartley in 1947. At that
time, investigation of unfair Ia
Dor practice charges was at the
pleasure Of the board itself,
which led to criticism that the
board was able to act as prose-
cutor, judge and jury.

Commissioners Favor
PUG Handling for
School Transit Fares

The District Commissioners
today gave their support to
legislation that would give the
Public Utilities Commission
power to set public transporta-
tion fares for school children
here.
The bill has been introduced
by Senator Holland, Democrat,
of Florida. The proposed new
p. U. c. authority would be
restricted to fixing the fares at
no more than one-half the regu-
lar fare. School children now
pay 3 cents per ride; normal
fare is II cents cash, with tokens
five for rs cents. and weekly
passes are $2.40.
Oppose Taxicab Limit.
Among other legislative mat
ters discussed at their regular
board meeting, the city heads
announced that they opposed a
proposed bill that would limit
the number of taxicabs on the
city's streets. This measure
would vest the limitation power
with the P. U. c..
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue said that he "still believes
in the free enterprise system"
which, he said, the proposed
measure would tend to destroy in
the taxicab field. Mr.. Donohue
also said that he fears if the bill
is enacted similar limitations
might ultimately be placed on
the number of stores and other
businesses here.
No Action on Tax Repeal.
The Commissioners decided to
take no action at present on an
other bill that would repeal the
personal property tax here.
They let it ride since a similar
legislative proposal is to be in
cluded in the District govern
ment's legislative program for A.
nancing a vast public works i'm
provement program here.
