INSPIRED FOE HALTS MANY CADET THRUSTS . | Midshipmen Unable to Advance| After Byng Opens Way in Fourth Period. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 13.—Army and Navy, reunited in the name of charity, battled fiercely and futilely for three periods and nearly half of the fourth before 65,000 in Yankee Stadium this afternoon. Then Ray Stecker, fast- est back in the whole Army, burst off the Navy right tackle, shook himself free, swerved sharply toward the south sideline, ran away from desperate Navy pursuers with a burst of sheer speed and crossed the goal line standing up for the touchdown that enabled Army to win, 6 to 0. ‘The run covered 56 yards which had been fought over as desperately for 50 minutes as the bloody Potomac Valley in the days that followed the disagree- ment of 1861. It happened just as the Cadets of West Point, massed at the northeast corner of the field; the general officers in olive drab, the ad- mirals commanding, the gobs, dough- boys and civilians of all caste and rank had come to the conclusion that an- other one of those disappointing score- less ties was in the mraking. For five-sixths of the game, the rug- get Cadets in gold helmets had jammed through the Navy consistently, bursting off the tackles, plunging through the line and now and again whirling around the ends. But the final punch that means victory in war or foot ball was lacking. When gains meant serious danger, the most reckless and most ul of the Army thrusts had come e. ts themselves retained much faith in their ultimate destiny when the single clean break of the game flashed on the scene.

From there to the goal line his supreme speed saw him through. He outran the Navy right halfback ane the safety man and pulled just clear when “Blimp” Bewstrom, Navy cap- tain, dove for him on the 5-yard line. Thus did the Army, favored team in the charitable warfare of the services, pull itself to the fore. The Cadets, somewhat obscurely ensconsed at the extreme opposite corner of the field from where Stecker crossed the goal line, recklessly sailed fatigue caps in all directions, while the midshipmen, seated directiy over the depredation, lapsed into a disappointed silence, in- terrupted by a faint cheer when Charley Broachus specialty drop-kicker from the Hudson's left bank, narrowly missed | the point after touchdown. Navy Threat Fails. From the time, however, that the drop-kick went askew to the final ‘whistle, both immediate cheering sec- tions and casual supporters in all sec- tions of the huge stand had cause for ecstasy and alarm. ‘The Navy host swarmed to its feet in wild acclaim when “Wes" Byng, fast right end. recovered a fumbled punt across midfield, and roared in crescendo when the same striving player snared & forward pass and brought a first down on the Army 20-yard line. Further than that, however, the Navy could not progress. A plunge met sdamant resistance. Three passes were batted down by keen Army hacks. After four hectic downs, the West Pointers took the ball and marched, with the ald of a certain amount of penalty distance, to the Annapolis 7-yard line, where the Midshipmen once again stood firm. A few plays more and the game was over. The status of stern disagreement which had prevented previous Army- Navy games since the Polo Grounds of 1927, was resumed automatically. Cadets, in high spirits and midshipmen, some- what buoyed even in defeat by the knowledge that their under-dog team had come fully up to expectations, straggled off the feld to begin a few cherished hours of liberty. The civilian tators wedged themselves through the ‘exits and the Salvation Army, tted by the imposing Grover Whalen, tarted to count up. $600,000 for Unemployed. It was estimated—apparently with & glight optimism—that $600,000 had been realized through the medium of the “gate” and associated resources for the unemployed and that 70,000 per- sons had passed through the turnstiles. The unseasonably bright and mod- erate weather of the morning and the last-minute free distribution of a large number - of -unsold tickets to enlisted men of the Army and Navy swelled the crowd fo proportions beyond the ex- pectation of ‘a- few days ago. - There were vagant spats, but not in solid and disappointing . numbers.

It was seldom he sought political honors for himself, but he found the joy of nominees.

In 1920 he won, his party’s nomina- | { tion for and was elected Governor, after defeating in a spirited primary the man who today appointed him to the Senate, O. Max Gardner. Previously he had been a State Senator and mayor of his native town of Rockingham, in Rich- mond County.

THREE ARE ARRESTED FOR RAILWAY ROBBERY Postal Inspectors Trail Two Men and Woman Wanted in Year- 0ld Illinois Crime. By the Associated Press. GARY, Ind., December 13—Two men and a woman were arrested by postal inspectors today for the robbery of a railway mail clerk at Decatur, Ill, a year ago. ‘The prisoners are Charles Westbrook, 38; Agnes Brown, 25, who posed as his wife, and Charles Belmont, 50, who said he was a Chicago gambler. The trio had been trailed to New York, Buffalo, Boston and Hot Springs during the last year and finally the Government agents traced them to a flat, where they had been hiding here for a fortnight. In the flat were two pistols, a sawed-off shotgun, and an Army rifle.

With rhyme, song and jest the fa- mous newspaper club pictured for the President of the United States, mem- bers of his cabinet, members of the dip- lomatic Corps, Senators, Representa- tives and other distinguished guests, the outstanding happenings in the Novem- ber election, the fate of the promised “co-operation” on the part of the Demo- crats and the situation over the wet- and-dry issue. The club called upon President Hoo- ver and its other guests to lay aside the cares of state and take a light- hearted view of their problems. If the satire was barbed it was also good na- | tured. The club was non-partisan, be- | 1aboring Democrats and Republicans alike. The results of the November elec- tion were given particular attention, however, without the club being able to discover the foundation for the Hoo- ver “vindication” theory. Mr. Hoover was assured, however, that the Demo- crats in reality were his friends and they would come to his rescue in 1932. Club Hears President. As courtesy and custom decreed, the President was invited to give his own version of the problems before his ad- ministration and he accepted. His re- marks, however, must be withheld from publication under the club’s ancient rule that “reporters are never present” at Gridiron dinners. Senator Joseph T.

Aroused over unsightly roadside, con- ditions of which the miles of billboards and “dumps” along the greatly traveled Washington-Baltimore Pike are typical, groups of the Prince Georges County Federation of Women’s Clubs have en- listed whole-heartedly in the campaign to clean up the entrances to the Nation- al Capital and its suburban districts. One of the first objectives in a Prince Georges County campaign which these groups intend to inaugurate immediately is in the vicinity of the Bladensburg Memorial Cross, where advertisers have taken advantage of this intersection of the Bladensburg and Annapolis highways, to hedge around the monu- ment erected to the World War dead of the county, signs descriptive of their wares. This intersection, the center of traffic moving in three directions is in a nest of billboards that extend up and down both highways. Stand Taken a Year Ago. More than a year ago the Prince Georges County Federation of Women's Clubs adopted a resolution indorsing the national policy of opposition to the indiscriminate placing of billboards and more lately the topics as applied to local conditions has come up at the County Federation’s meetings under the division of conservation of the department of education.
