On the Gridiron
By Quentin 3. MeM

CCHOOL football teams grow
- up and graduate and
change from year to year, but
the officials-the whistle men
in striped shirts and black
caps-are pretty stable. For
% years, the Washington Dis
trict Football Officials Asso-
citation has been furnishing
the referees, umpires, field
judges and linesmen who see
that football is played accord
ing to the gridiron Hoyle-the
rule book.
There are 40 of these men
in the association, officiating
at seven different league
games in the area for 43
schools and organizations.
They cover the Catholic Youth
Organization, eighth grade,
junior and senior high schools,
prep schools, the sand-iot
league and service organiza-
tions. In addition, they occa-
sionally do a Southern Con-
ference game or a spot game
up In West Virginia.
One of the oldest school
football rivalries is between
Woodbury. Forest Of Wood
stock Va. and Episcopal High
of Alexandria. When they
come on the field for their
54th meeting in November,
Harry d. (Hobie) OMeara will
be there with his striped shirt
and whistle for the Gath time.
Evening star., 1954-10-10

Mr.. O'Meara, a Gonzaga alum
nus, started with the associa-
ton in 1926 when Paul Mag
gie) Magoffin, former Univer-
sity of Michigan letterman,
was a favorite referee.
The officials provide their
own transportation and their
own uniforms. They work a
full game with no substitu-
tions. In rare cases, when an
official can't finish, the game
goes on with three on the
field. John H. w. Roper, presi-
dent of the association, travel
ed 1,716 miles in the Septem-
ber-to- November season last
year, one trip taking him to
Alabama.
Games usually take place
Fridays and saturdays, some
under the lights. There is a
tight schedule between the
middle of September and the
end of November, and the Of
ficials have to know two sets
of rules. Most school games
are under the rules of the Ma
tional Federation of State
High School Athletic Associa-
tions. The CYO and service
groups play collegiate rules.
There Is a lot of difference
when ruling on fumbles or
pass interference.
For this reason, members
start well in advance and hold
four meetings just to consider

Out of the remainder, a sched-
ule is created and Is ready for
the annual meeting in Sep
tember.
The association even sends
its men to the coach and team
meetings to insure familiarity
with the rules. If an official
is called to work a conference
game, he first must be released
by the association.
Officials have high praise
for the sportsman like con-
duct of area teams, but hilar-
ious and near-tragic events
happen. One referee penal

rule changes. Coaches are in
vited to one meeting, so they
can be informed. Members
also qualify for work by pass
ing two examinations. The
federation test for this season
had IS questions in five Sec
tions. Failure means no Off
cial work.
Football commissioner is Mr..
O'Meara, only charter men,
ber left. He sends question
naires to the men, asking their
first and second choice of Of
ficial duties. He sends lists to
the schools, and they indicate
the officials they don't want.

him, but he couldn't retaliate
when q Marine general told
him off from the stands In
much more earthly language.
After another game, a crippled
rooter stood on one crutch
and used the other to lay open
q referees knee as he passed
by. Opposing coaches once
agreed to let a player with his
arm in q cast enter q game
merely to kick extra points or
field goals, over the objection
of officials. The crippled
player broke a scoreless tie
with his one field goal.

The so-called -tinged la
Dor unions apparently are in a
state of rapid disintegration.
even as Congress considers new
measures for dealing with Com
munist domination of labor
groups.
Recent developments, an d
others in the making. indicate
the left-wing unions are rapidly
losing strength. These are the
major unions of the II organ
izations the CLIO expelled over
four years ago on charges of
Communist domination and adj
herence to the Red party line.
At the time of the CLIO custer,
it was estimated the IL unions
had more than 100000 members.
Now their membership is be-
lieved to be no more than 200,-
600, and no one suspects that
the majority of these rank-and-
file members ever belonged to
the Communist Party.
The largest of the unions. the
United Electrical Workers, whose
top leaders have invoked the
fifth amendment when quizzed
by congressional committees, now
seems likely to lose its largest
local. That's the local which rep
resents workers at General Elec-
tries big plant at Schenec-

Officers of the local, represent
ing 10000 workers. already have
voted to switch to the CIO In
ternational Union of Electrical
Workers. The final decision will
be made at a membership meet

upon an interesting piece OF
information. He arned
that George Horace Lorimer,

been an employe of the
same publisher, and that he
had quit when refused a
salary boost, a decisio n
which in later years caused

his requests were never

but he knew that the pub
Usher wildly recalled the
Lorimer incident and wanted
to avoid making the same
mistake again.
