football before he's through. He's

Matson's rank as the pro
games highest salaried star, a
distinction claimed for Otto
Graham by the Cleveland Browns
a couple Of years ago. is open to
speculation, but there's no doubt
that he seems destined to be one
of the all-time greats.
Red Grange couldn't think Of
a faster back, off-hand. in the
post-game quarterbacking ses-
sion.
Hes not only FAST" Red
noted, 'but he picks his holes
nicely. Matson takes it pretty
well. too. He was roughed up
some out there today, but it
didn't slow him down."
Matson's dazzling performance
sent Dutch Bergman. the old
Notre Dame star and later Red
skin coach, way back to the days
of George Gipp at Notre Dame
for a comparison. Dutch isn't
quite ready to put Matson on a
par with Notre Danes all-time

Matson has great potential.
"Gipp was a big, powerful
fellow who did everything" Berg
man said. "He could run we'll,
he was a great punter. and he
had one 62-yard drop-kick in the
book"
This. to the best Of certain
old-timers' memories. was in a
game for Notre Danes 1916
freshman team against Kalama-
zoo College. in which the unpre-
dictable Gipp crossed up every
body. including his own team
mates, by drop-kicking for three
points when he was supposed to
punt. But as a freshman. he
didn't make the record books
with that prodigious boot.
The fabulous Pat O'Dea, who
learned his kicking as a rugby
player in his native Australia,
drop kicked 81 yards for Wiscon-
sin against Northwestern in 1898
And in 1915 one Mark Payne of
Dakota Wesleyan drop-kicked a

A boy who paced his high
school in Pullman. Wash, to q
60 triumph over its Thanksgiv-
ing Day rival last year will be
given the chance to do the same
for George Washington High
Thursday.
Coach Jim Ford has con-
! f1rmed that Mike Agee will
see a lot OF duty in the big one
against Washington-Lee in CIV
Stadium. It is hardly a surprise
to the WI camp, which received
glowing reports on this 160-
pound quarterback two weeks
ago.
CIV had gone to Richmond to
meet one of the States few un-
beaten clubs, John Marshall, and
Agee had taken over at quar-
terback the whole way for 21-7
victory. Rasty Doran, CIV ath-
letic director who came to the
Alexandria school in 1888, called
the victory "the most impressive
one we've ever had down there, !"
meaning against a doWnstate
opponent.
From that game on Agee has
had Alexandrians wringing their
hands with satisfaction in look
ing toward the WI battle and
the 1866 season. too. Until then,
quarterback trouble had been a
chronic ailrnent of the Pres
identS.

''His coach wrote me that he
was a good athlete" Ford re-
lates. "And he sure is. We con-
verted him to quarterback. you
know. and he is really a good
quarterback. Agee can think.
He doesn't need some one else
to do his thinking for him.

Step in Right Direction


cized by Arch Ward of the Chi
cago Tribune for his coaching
tactics in the All-Stars' 31-6
defeat by the Detroit Lions last
August, said today he believed
the selection of a permanent
pro coaching staff for the Col
legians, was "a step in the right
direction"
"Now one man will have time
to scout and assemble a team
of his choice" Tatum said. "He
can scout the bowl and the
all-star games and begin invit-
ing the boys Immediately. pick
ing three or four players of his
choice for each position.
Last year we gave the Chicago
Tribune list of the boys we
wanted sand they. started inviting
them around May" Tatum said
"Of 10 tackles and 10 ends we
mentioned. the. Tribune got about
four, and not the top ones. They
came up with one center"
The Maryland coach added
that he spent every night for
two mo nths making long
distance calls trying to get a
team together.
II hope the game is a success
but ] still see no hope of the
All-Stars winning.
"And In hiring two profess

he also does little promoting on his

Northeast Keeps
Eye on Hurricane
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-The
twice-hit North Atlantic Sea-
board kept an apprehensive eye
on Hurricane Hazel today, al
though apparently out of the
storms direct path.
If Hazel passes to the west
of New York, the Weather Bu-
reau said, she will be the first
October hurricane to have done
so since 1899.
Nevertheless, the metropolitan
area was warned to be wary.
"All precautions should be
continued for the tail winds (40
to go miles an hour, heavy rains
and high tides this afternoon
and tonight" the warning said.
Predictions of torrential winds
and abnormally high tides came
also from the Boston Weather
Bureau for the New England
area, hard hit by two earlier
blows this season.
Electric power installations
came in for particular atten-
ton and emergency crews were
put on a standby basis.
Heavy rainfall already was
reported in Southern New Jer-
Sey.

Hurricanes Start
To Roll When Solar
Radiation Drops

Sudden drops in solar radia-
tion may be the trigger" which
sets off hurricanes when atmos-
pheric conditions are proper, DR..
Charles g. Abbot, solar scientist
and former secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, said
here today.
But such triggering action can
not be used as a means of fore
casting hurricanes because the
solar radiation drop is almost
simultaneous with first observ-
ance Of the hurricanes birth at
sea.
DR.. Abbot reached his con-
clusions after studying the action
of so hurricanes over q 25-year
period, using radiation data re-
ceived from mountain-top OBJ
servation points all over the
world. The study and the ma
terial gathered through the
Smithsonian is the only type
project in operation anywhere,
the scientist said.
His tables noted, in observing
the phenomena 10 days before
and 10 days after, that in every
instance the drop in solar
radiation came almost at ths
exact moment the hurricane
began developing.

Jeremie, the largest town to
bear the full brunt of the storm,
had 165 destroyed houses and

villages in the area.

terrific battering.

The most immediate need was
for food, pure drinking water
and medical supplies for innocu-

More than 100 persons were
reported killed by the storm
which hit in full fury Tuesday
but casualty tolls were still frag-
mentary today because of dis
rupted communications and the
remoteness Of the area. Some
settlements were said to have
been swept away without a trace.
