' [ WOMAN ARRAIGNED ON DRY LAW CHARGE Enters Not Guilty Plea—Officers Say She Asked to Be Shot Following Arrest. Having dashed a vial from the lips of Mrs. Anna Richmond, 35 years old, of the 300 block of C street, during a liquor raid at her home last night, police yes- terday brought the woman before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court on charges of manufacturing and possession of liquor. ‘The police say that while they were searching her home by authority of a warrant Mrs. Richmond placed the glass to her lips and swallowed a quan- tity of liquid before they could reach her. She seemed to suffer no ill effects of the draught. Previous to taking it, police say, Mrs. Richmond had asked them to shoot her. The raiding party consisted of Lieut. J. A. Sullivan and Detectives J. F. Box- well and M. J. Dowd of the sixth pre- cinct. They reported confiscating about 900 quarts of beer, 25 quarts of whisky and a large quantity of mash. Today’s arraignment made the second In two days for Mrs. Richmond. Thurs- day night, in response to complaints of neighbors, sixth precinct police entered her house and claim to have found four men quarrelling. over the price of some drinks. The quartet were arrested for disorderly conduct, while Mrs, Rich- mond was accused of possession. She demanded a jury trial after pleading | not_guilty. Tt was on the strength of what they saw in the woman's house Thursday night that the police obtained a war- ‘rant for her from United States Com- missioner Needham C. Turnage and visited her home again. Denmark is now supplying nearly one- s | & cast THE SUNDAY McNamee | Speaking—" i EING a radio announcer makes vou feel somewhat like a clair- voyant. One is continually in touch with friends in an unseen world who are always prompt- ing him to do something or other. This week end I have a stack of letters ask- ing me about various ins and outs of the big foot ball games which I have seen this year. Of course, my first thought s, “Why pick on me!” T'm no Walter Camp, but the fact is that I have been soaked in foot ball for the last two months, and, being somewhat of a fan, feel that I may legitimately round up a few impressions which can be put in type, but which can't very well be herd- »d through a microphone. The modern open game is a lucky | break for radio. The old slogging, hammering, whang-bang mass play would have been poor stuff for a broad- No one could have made it inter- esting. But this flashy new game, spill- ing itself all over the field, with thosc brilliant long passes and, those exciting mix-ups, in which anytiiing may hap- pen—this is great crowd stuff and it's raw meat for a hungry microphone. This year I have seen in action Notre Dame, Navy, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Tech, Michigan, Ohio State University, New York University, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Army and Stan- ford. The season has developed some extraordinarily brilliant players—public interest this year seems to have cen- tered more on individual performance than on team play—and I have jotted down a line-up, which, in my own judgment, skims the cream of the big Eastern teams. I am not presuming to pick an all-American eleven. I have not seen the Western teams, and there are some smashing good players among them. Nor am I offering an all-Eastern eleven. It just happens that the out- standing players which I have observed click into a full line-up, and this is the most convenient way of noting some brilliant performances. This season has certainly turned up some cracking good ball piayers. Picks Cagle and Strong. Starting with the backfield, one thinks first of Strong, New York Uni- versity; Christian Cagle, Army; Art French, Harvard; Scull, Pennsylvania and Eby, Ohio State. Strong seems to me just about the pick of the lot. He combines effectiveness in a close mix- up and in a broken field and is one of the hardést men to tackle who ever wore moleskins. Art French has a way of never going any place unless there's some place to go—and then he goes. He picks his holes calmly and easily and has an unerring faculty of sensing the weakness In an opposing line. There's a great back! So are the others. This has been a big year in the back- field. Harpster, of Carnegie Tech, stands alone in all considerations of quarter- backs. He’s a cool and heady field gen- eral_and is always in eve la) to SPEAKER T looks as good as it sounds and sounds as good as it looks. Ask for a demonstration.

He's the best passer who ever threw a ball. “Father” Lumkin, full- back of Georgia Tech, is another player for whom it is hard to find comparisons. When he hits a line it stays hit! I'd Just as soon be hit by a train as to have Lumkin bump into me. They tell me that Lumkin went to Coach Alexander and said, “I'm a foot ball player. I want to make the team. “What position do you want to play?” asked Alexander. “Fullback.” “Can’t you be a halfback? I've got a dozen fullbacks.” “You're mistaken. one. I'm it.” T'm here to tell the court and jury that he is. Miles of Princeton is an- other great fullback, but, in my own humble judgment, the palm goes to Lumkin. Lassman’s Chances Hurt. For the end positions Messinger of the Army and Lawler of Princeton stand out like a pair of lighthouses on & bar- ren coast. For tackles I like Bostrum of the Navy_and Grant of New York University. Bostrum is a strong defense man and aggressive and formidable on attack. Grant is also an all-around player, always in the play. He is a colorful player and is the inter- collegiate boxing champion. Capt. Al Lassman, is of course, one of the great, tackles of the day, but he has been nursing a bad leg this season, and hasn’t had an even break. He is one of the most popular men in the game and fans everywhere were happy to learn of his pulling throught that terri- ble injury at Pittsburgh For guards, it seems to me it would be hard to beat Firpo Greene, of Yale, and Burke of the Navy. This man Greene follows a loose ball about as closely as any player I ever saw. If there is a fumble or a trick play, Greene seems always to have an X-ray eye on that ball. Burke is a strong, competent, all- around foet ball player, both in attack and aefense. I consider this a great pair of guards. From where I sit, Moynihan of Notre Dame looks like the best bet for center.

DECEMBER 9, 1928—PART 1. Watch him pass the ball back and then go down the field, under a punt, and nail his man! He is stanch in de- fense and a formidable plunger. Howe of Princeton also demands recognition in any estimate of center material. Barratt of Ohio State University, is a mighty dangerous man—having the. combination of weight and speed—but he is young yet, and, personally, I'd pick Moynihan this year. Barratt has plenty of time and he'll certainly, be heard from. Many Good Ones Unseen. To repeat, T want to make it clear that I am not shoving this out as an all-anything team. There are plenty of top-notch players whom I have not seen, but my observation of the teams above noted gave me an opportunity for somewhat of a bird's-eye view of this slice of the foot ball world, and here it is. ‘When I was first bitten with the foot ball mania, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania were high-hat out- fits, not to be mentioned in connection with any other team. The open game has wrecked their supremacy, and most any upstart team has a good chance to give them a hard run. This makes the dopesters take to their storm cellars, as anything can and does happen now, but it’s great for the crowds and, in my opinion, all to the good for the sport. (Copyright, 1928.)
