Weeks antics or downgrading
the dizziness that has delighted
so many, but there may be wis
dom in concentrating on the
main Objective winning club
and considering almost every
thing else extraneous. The
prime objective is excellence
af1eld and when it materializes
it will be sufficient entertain-
ment for a long-suffering
public.
The Senator'S have a problem,
installing q new club in an old
stadium. Since they will occupy
Griffith Stadium for only one
season it's senseless to pour vast
sums into improveme ents.
They'll be forced to make their
debut in surroundings not to
heir satisfaction while awaiting
completion Of their spiffy new
home.
There have been indications,
though, that there will be un-
derstanding Of the clubs hard
ships. It has been demonstrated
by fans from all walks Of life.
There are those who will
grumble that the Senators will
be starting with a weak team,
but there are signs that most
fans will take the long view
and be content to watch their
infant progress toward man
hood.
Perhaps the most en-
couraging thing about the new
Senators to date Is that Que
sada's enthusiasm hasn't di-
minished despite some distress
sing conditions. He's being
asked to pay too much for
players. but there has been no
beef. He leaves the impression
that he'll play the game their
way, as he must for the moment
in order to get established. but
that he's en- route to giving his
rivals furious competition.
1t figures to take time before
the Senators can thrust their
way into the thick of things.
but Quesada so far has leaped
each barrier nicely. He's ac-
customed to getting places in q
hurry and there's no reason to
suspect he'll dawdle in giving
Washington its long sought
representative team.

BY BURToN HAWKINS

A wondrous, som e tim

to Pete Quesada, the Senator's
boss, when he, participates in
his first American League meet
ing tomorrow in st. Louis. He
will, bring an incisive, inquiring
mind to o battling business and
while he will be in no position
to start throwing lawmakers at
the outset. there's a conviction
he'll be speaking his piece loud
and clear in the near future.
Quesada is embarking on a
new adventure surrounded by
sound. successful men in George
Garrett, Floyd Akers. Gus Ring
and George Bunker. They are
solid citizens. unaccustomed to

Quesada they have a deter
mined leader who has thrived
on tough battles In the air and

move made by the Senators has
been big league, starting with
the signing Of Ed Doherty as
general manager and Mickey

What sort Of material will be
allotted to Quesada won't be
determined for a few days and
possibly viii be delayed until
December 13. Probabilities are
strong it won't smack of first
division stuff, but with an out
lay Of more than 50 million,
Quesada will get Of the ground.
The Senators, currently
equipped with three players,
soon win take definite form and
if the initial impression isn't
as inspiring as 1t might be. well,
there's the future. That future
Is bright If for no other reason
than QueSada isn't whining
about the present.
There's dedication among
Quesada and his thus far cozy
contingent to creating a win
ner. There has been intense
study Of the Baltimore organi-
zation's structure. II there's a
pattern to be followed, it's likely
the new Senators will adhere
to the Orioles method of do

thusiasm for imitation in this
instance, for the Orioles have
come from nowhere in a short

CLEVELAND, Dec. S.-The
dice players will be backing the
Browns here tomorrow when
they try to make it seven in
q row over the Redskins.
The Browns. now tied for
second place with the New York
Giants. whipped the Washing
ton eleven. 31-10. in their first
meeting this year and are two
touchdown favorites to repeat.
Forecast Good
The kickoff is scheduled for
2:05 pm, and the game will be
telecast in Washington over
WTOP-9. The forecast called
for fair weather with the
thermometer In the low 40s.
An interesting sidelight to the
main attraction will be the
Redskins effort to snap Cleve-
land Quarterback Milt Plum's
string of 164 passes without an
interception. Plum has a
chance to break Dwight pad
dlefoot) Sloan's 21-year-old
league record Of three inter-
ceptions in one season.
In their first game the Red
skins stopped Jim Brown with
so yards and held flashy Bobby
Mitchell to 38. But they didn't
stop Plum's aerials and they
were outsmarted by Mitchell on
a 23-yard scoring pass to Ray
Renfro. The problem ap-
parently hasn't changed.
Plum Is Headache
"Set your defenses to stop
their running game and they'll
throw on you," Coach Mike
Nixon of the Redskins pointed
out. plum has shown great
improvement and Is hard to
stop, but you can't take
chances with men like Brown
or Mitchell" !
The solution would be to
outscore the Browns, whose
defenses are not bomb-proof.
But the Redskins have scored
only 81 points in their last
five games. BY comparison.
the Browns have scored SO
over the same period.

who spoke halting English last
August. He has matured, be-
come master of the language,
developed into a personality of
charm and strength, who will
be a force for good international
relations when he returns home.
He insisted that the story of his
departure not be conferred on
Corrado, but on the family of
William Willis, his "own Amer
ican family" He said that pub
lie recognition should be given
them for their ability to get
used to me; adjust to me; have
the patience to teach me, to
answer all my questions" Il
would like to talk about them,
for they had their problems, F"
he continued, saying they were
''an exceptional family" He felt
lost when he came, but people
are not strangers now, the boy
said, and the problem at first
was the language difficulty. He
very firmly suggests that six
months is not enough prepara-
ton in English for the foreign
student about to come here. He
expects to continue his use of
English, and he can help future

said. He has fine command of
the spoken language, but teach

he was graduated in the senior
class at the John Bassett Moore
High School. The Silver Eagles,

adjust, and to be at ease social

accidental d e a t h, dismember-

by the David c. Harrison Post,

on the proposal was prompted
by the recent accident involving
Glenn Matthews in which the
driver lost a leg and will be

In making the announcement,
Leonard R. Pleas S a nton, post
commander, noted that the am
bulance serving this community
is completely supported by con-
tributions which, in many in
stances, do not equal the oper-
ating costs. There have been
occasions in the past couple of
years when it has been neces-
sary to borrow money from one
of the other post accounts that
we might continue to operate
the ambulance in the manner
expected" Commander Pleasan-
ton explained. "Since the in
ception of the ambulance in
November, 1924, insurance COW
erage of drivers and ambulance
helpers has been discussed at
numerous post meetings. 1t has
been the concensus of the post,
its members and drivers of the

was prohibitive, and that if
some mishap should occur, il
would be necessary to appeal
to the public for funds to pay
whatever bills that might arise
Pleasanton continued. d. "We
