CoIoniaIs Determined
To Extend Maryland ,
Make Year Success
By George Huber

Well, at least George Wash
ington hasn't picked any soft
touch opponent for its home
coming football game Saturday.
Maryland, unbeaten in seven
games and unscored on in four
of them, a record that again
has it rated as the No. 2 team
in the country, is coming to
Griffith Stadium Saturday aft
ernoon as GW's Homecoming op-
position.
George Washington comes up
to the big game of its season
with a 3-3 record, and the CO.
lonials frankly are disappointed
because it isn't better. They
figure they should have lost only
to West Virginia and would like
to play over the Virginia and
William and Mary games.
Even before the season opened
the Colonials knew that Mary
land would be the big one on
their list, and there was much
talk among the players about
coming up to this game unde-
feated. They're a bit angry at
themselves that it didn't happen
that way. but they have great
hopes for making the season a
success with a good game against
Maryland.
Two Scrimmages Planned.
GW's preparations for this
game started yesterday with a
signal drill and work on block
ing and tackling fundamentals
at Frog Island, and a skull ses-
sion last night. Full-scale scrim-
images are planned today and
tomorrow.
GW's freshman team yeSter-
day was given Maryland plays
the scouts, headed by Bill Rein
hart, have diagrammed. Taking
the part of Bernie Faloney,
Maryland's All-America quarter
back prospect. in the scrimmages
will be Pete Spera, a 175-pound
freshman from Belleville, N. j.
Last night was the only skull
drill scheduled for the CIV play
erS this week. Instead of watch
ing movies of last weeks game,
the players watched television
highlights of last weeks Mary
land game. That is the half
hour program in which Coach
Jim Tatum of Maryland dis
cusSes the situation in general.
The Colonials heard themselves
described as a team that could
give Maryland "plenty of trou-
ble."
Diagrams Furnished.
Tatum, like practically all
coaches, is addicted to drawing
diagrams, and he was at it again
last night with the rather un-
usual pass defenses South Caro-
lima tried against him last week.
Coach Bo Sherman of CIV
said it would be Thursday or
Friday before he settled on the
starting lineup he will use
against Maryland Saturday
Were going to try lot of
things this. week." he said, "and
about the only thing you can be
sure of is that we'll use our II
best tacklers."
The CIV coach did indicate he
was set to start with Bob Sturm
at quarterback and Bill Weaver
at right half. That leaves Len
Ciemniecki and Skinny Safer to
battle for the left half post and
Norb Danz and Joe Boland to
work out the fullback job be-
tween them.

Riggs Plans Capital Increase,
Stock Dividend of 81 Million

not later than 2 pm. on March
/, 1854.
In letter to stockholders, Mr..
Fleming stated that for many
years it has been the policy of
the Riggs BOARD to pay reason
able dividends and at the same
time augment the banks capital
structure through retained earn
ingS.
This policy resulted in 1916 in
the bank being able to declare a
stock dividend of 81 million in
addition to selling 10000 shares
at $500 share.
Boosted to SIS q Yeur
At that time the bank was
paying regular dividends of $12
a share annually and Mr.. Flem-
ing stated that the earning ca
pacity of the institution justified
the expectation that the dividend
payable quarterly could be main
tained on the increased capital.
Since that time not only has
this dividend been maintained
but, beginning with 1948, spe-
cial dividends have been paid on
December Is each year, result
ing in total annual payments of
$14 a share in 1948 and SIS a
share in subsequent years, in
cluding 1858.
