Reaction to his speech IN St.
Croix, was very favorable.
Even those who are not en-
tirely favorable to the Cover
nor expressed themselves as
pleased with the manner in
which he replied to Mr..
Jackson
After giving a resume Of his
record, the Governor referred
to the disastrous fire which de
stroyed Mr.. Jackson's home;
and his condemnation by Mr..
Jackson who referred to him
as completely unfit to hold
the position as Governor; a per
son less than a man; a person
who has no governing abi1i-
ty", "a fumbling and inept
weaklin" and wieful1y lacking
in executive ability, stature &
courage" Short Of calling me
a rascal, he said, Mr.. Jackson
has used every possible denun-
ciatory ethitet against me. He
made but one concession, that
he brought only personal in
tegrity' to the office.
The entire speech of the
Governor will be published in
full for the benefit Of our
readers.

Falls Church Eleven
Tops DeMatha, 700,
With Hard Line PLAY

Falls Church's experienced
line rushed an undermined De-
Matha squad off its feet as the
Jaguars took a 300 victory in
the season opener for both
schools yesterday on the Falls
Church field.
The Falls Church backs &C
counted for 239 yards on the
ground, including 144 in the
first half, but it was the defense
which accounted for the first
eight points.
End Buddy McCarter scooped
up a wild center pass that sailed
over the head of DeMatha's AL
Edwards in the first quarter
and scored easily from midfeld.
Tackled Behind Goal.
Halfway through the third
period, Jack zelaska tackled
Harry Wallach, the Stays quar-
terback, in the DeMatha end
zone for a safety after he had
blocked Wallach's punt on the
4-yard line. Wallach retrieved
the ball but was nailed imme-
diately.
Wallach, a left handed
thrower, provided the only good
moments in a dismal afternoon
for DeMatha rooters. Aiming
mostly at his right halfback,
George Caruso, Wallach COM
pleted 10 of 81 passes for 155
yards.
DeMatha's running game fin
ished with a minus AZ yards as
Joe Hickman, All-District CEN
ter, and Tackle Everett Coving-
ton led a charging Falls Church
line that had little trouble in
solving it's opponents split-T of-
fenSe.
Scores Through Center.
Shortly before the end of the
third quarter, Fullback Elwood
Wood burst through center for
two yards and Falls Church's
second touchdown. Wood, Ze-
laska, Bruce Gilmore, Dave Tay-
lor and Pete Bays alternated
carrying the ball in a steady
drive from midfeld.
Another sustained march from
midfield produced the final score
in the fourth period. Dale In
tollube circled right end for the
last three yards.
Taylor and Paul Macdonald
shared the quarterbacking chores
for the winners and combined
for five competitions in 13 passes
for ISL yards.
DeMatha's only threat came in
the third period when it was
trailing by only eight points. A
35-yard pass from Wallach to
Caruso, plus a couple of short
runs, moved the ball to the Falls
Church 20-yard line before the
drive fizzled.

Only S23,716Bet
In MufueIs as Rain
Holds Crowd Down
BY the Assoeiated Press

FAIR HILL, Md, Sept. IL. -
Morris H. Dixon, sr.'S PaIaja be-
came a two-time winner of the
Foxcatcher National Cup steeple-
chase here today, winning the
three-mile event by length and
a half and posting a new track
record.
It was the first time pari-
mutuel betting had ever been
offered hunt race fans in Mary
land but the disappointingly
small crowd of 5000 fans bet a
total of $23,716.
Rain Affects Crowd.
A factor in the poor turnout,
much smaller than last years,
was undoubtedly the weather. It
rained hard during the morning
here and there was a threat of
more showers during the after
noon as cloud banks remained
overhead.
Palaja, ridden by Melvin Fer
rell, paid 5000 straight and was
clocked IN 5.53. This was 335
seconds faster than the old track
record, which he established
when winning here two years
ago.
Nineteen stiff brush jumps
were the obstacles which con-
fronted the five-horse field, and
to the surprise of the majority
Of fans there were no spills.
FavOrite Is Second.
George T. Weymouth'S Ban
ner Waves, ridden by the own
ers son, Eugene. was slight fav-
orite and finished second, head
in front of w. c. Robinson Jr.'s
Cherwell, last years winner.
Courtney Burton's Hunting
Fox was fourth. six lengths far
ther back, while James F. Nc
Hugh's Basalt was an outdis-
tanced trailer.
Basalt cut out a fast early
pace, but he weakened badly
after a mile and a half and
dropped back to last place.
Palaja made his move at the
midway point. shooting through
along this inside of the uphill
and-down-dale course.
At the 18th jump, Palaja. an
importation from France, was
head and head for the lead along
with Banner Waves, Cherwell
and Hunting Fox.
Once in front, Palaja was
never collared, although Banner
Waves made a game try.

through injuries.
In the present situation the
Redskins best chance for max
ing a contest of it would be to
throw caution to the wind and
concentrate on a wide-open
passing and running game. The
team has not beeen strong in
offense. especially with little
Eddie Lebaron resting from his
quarterbacking chores with in
juries. and Rookie Jack Scarbath
still learning the ropes. A re-
versal tomorrow would come as a
distinct surprise.
The Lions. with victories over

land. have had a weeks rest,
while the Redskins will be play
ing their third game in nine

and did not arrive here until
late this afternoon.
The Redskins ked in

workout at the stadium, stress
ing defense.
