StHA DheAA "AAbtA
The man looked across the
field at the beautiful aqua
marine-and-roSe setting which
is the new rumpus room of the
Redskins, Senators and George
Washington University and said
amid the halftime din, This
is almost too much to believe. y
For Gen. w. H. Abendroth
seeing was almost not believing
The head of the District Ma
tional Guard and a member of
the Armory Board which runs
the new D. c. Stadium was
wreathed in smiles.
Two months ago I told Matt
McCloskey, whose crew built
this stadium, that it would be
impossible to have it ready
for the Redskins opening home
game. He made a liar out of me,
and l am glad" he said.
AT 7 O'Clock Saturday night
they put the last seat in and
the inspectors made fheir final
rounds. Even they were
amazed" the general continued.
Although he admitted re-
ceiving a few complaints, the
general was more than pleased
with the lack of first-day
Snafus and was the first to
admit the big, shiny ballyard
was far from complete.
They'll have it completed
and ready for the Senators
sometime in January" he said
barring snow"
The mporary wooden
guardrails in many places will
be replaced by steel and the
inner and outer guardrings
around the roof still are I'M
finished. This is for those
who, for some reason, might
care to watch the proceedings
from a couple of thousand feet

They had better wear para
chutes.
The playing field itself was
in good shape, considering that
some of the sod had been down
only three days. Bill McPeak,
the Redskins coach. and Gen,
Abendroth walked the length
Of it before the game and Bill
was very happy with it. 1t was
one of his few such moments
during the afternoon.
All private rooms and Of
fices in the stadium are mere
walls at the moment and the
mezzanine seats $3.50 per
chair which ring the park still
have much touch-up work to
be done on them.
The writer's generally we're
impressed with the park, al
though remarks ranged from
the most beautiful stadium
I've seen in the country" to
1T gives too much of a closed
in feeling, as if you're in an
indoor arena"
The football press box didn't
get off as lightly. Those in the
second row of the two-row
coop said they couldn't see
many of the high punts, and
the window frames we're too
big to permit a complete view
of the action.
Almost to a man, the news
men complained of cramped
walking quarters, meaning not
enough width.
Before the NIL training
season began, Alex Webster,
the Giants hard-rmning half
back, decided TO go to camp
with the rockies because Il
didn't think 1 could make the
team"
Alex made the team" yes
terday, grinding out SO yards
on 20 carries, most Of 1t from
Coach Allie Sherman's new
spread formation.
Webster has been plagued
with injuries the last two
seasons.

Plan Now For
Your Spring Lambs

This is the time to start plan
ming management practices o r
spring lambs so you'll get the best
results. That's the word from DR..
John Shropshire, Extension Live
stock Specialist at the University
of Delaware, who points out that
the secret of growth in lambs, as
with other animals, is the total in
take of feed.
There are two sources of energy
for a lamb: The ewes milk and
the creep feed and both of these
can be improved by careful plan
ming. To increase the milk supply
in the eve. she should get quar-
ter to a half pound of grain a day
for the last month before lambing.
At lambing time, this should be in
creased to about pound of grain
a day
A creep ration is a must" if you
want to market heavy, high grad
ing lambs early, and to get the
best prices Lambs like SOybean
oil meal, and putting it in their
feed will increase the amount they
eat. Researchers have S u e d
many different creep ratiOns, and
decided that about 60 perc e n
ground corn, 25 percent soybean
oil meal, and Is percent wheat
bran or alfalfa meal gives the best
results.
The growth of your lambs
means money in your pocket, SO
it will pay you to investigate these
creep rations. For further infor-
nation on this subject, call or
write the Extension Offic e,
| Georgetown.
