    D.C.Meting PotOf Grid Interest Nv KIPK AAIIIEP A commentary on the meIting pot of interests and cross section of national citizenship which is Washington, can be observed at Griffith Stadium any Friday night or Saturday afternoon a football game is in progress. Regardless of the sector of the country from which a visit ing eleven halls, there is ever q group of loyal sons and daughters present to form a cheer ing section in the left field stands. They know the visiting college cheers and songs and although they are in the minority, their brave efforts at roofing and cheer tng-on their favorite club is notice able enough to form a contrast with the C. u, G. u, and G. w. U. student body across the field. In the Manic. U. game this was quite noticeable. 1t was equally prevalent in the Rice-G. W. U. contest as it was in the c. U.-St. Mary Texas game. Verify. I believe were football team from Alaska Teachers to play one of the domestic teams, there’d be a willful knot of home town supporters back of the visit ing Side-lineS. Knows His Gridiron Oze Simmons, Negro halfback Of the Iowa football team who is being singled out by many of the experts for all-American mention. knows every inch of the gridiron on 1owa’S home field. He spends the summer moving the grass to help pay his way through college. He studies dramatic art, among other things. Clark Griffith will observe his birthday anniversary next week. He was born November 20, 1853. The Times will mark the day by publishing the box score OF the first major league game in which Griff pitched the st. Louis (American Association team to a 13-to-5 win over the Cincinnati (American Association Club, April IL, 1891. However, Griff actually broke into professional baseball for the Bloomington, ILL.,, club in 1887. Being born in the same town, I ought to know. One On Gil DObie They say that Gil Dobie actually fell off the bench when Cor nell scored the touchdown and point after which tied Columbia at z to 7. The president of Wake Forest University, Walton Kitchin. has a son playing on the football team Of that college. That almost ties the fact that Elmer Layden, Notre Dame coach, has brother playing on the 1riSh-and how! At the last inventory-taking, Vannie Albanese, Syracuse half back, had gained an average OF 222 yards per game. Next Sunday, Capt. Noah Hazard is holding his annual oyster roast at Galesville, Md. Captain Noah has raised the oysters he will serve from babies, every one being guaranteed to be milk fed. Come one. come all! I am worried for AL Munro Elias and his brother Walter. For the first time in years they did not show up at the last World Series. You know ‘em; they are the demon baseball statist1clanS. Caught on the Wing Four baseball wives accompa- MED Earl Mack’S transforming American League stars to Mexico Mrs. Earl Whitehill, Mrs. Luke Sewell, Mrs. Jimmy Foxx and Mrs. Ted Lyons. Mushky Jackson Is in charge OF Joe Louis three-night barn storming tour of Montreal, Of tawa and Toronto. William Rosenberg, New York city-Alvin Powells home address is Silver Spring, Md, and my best regards to Dan Parker. An unbeaten football record Is a nice bauble to finger around, but I wouldn’t give a quarter for a boy graduating from a team that had never taken good, sound beating. Far more char acter is built from having to pick oneself up after a severe setback than in never having faced any such reverseS. There IS a question in the minds of many who saw the Harvard Princeton game, whether Harvard’s breaks or team, were worse in that 35 to 0 defeat. act Ninh+‘e Einh+e
