Cadets and Continentals | Grid Victims

Manual and Ben Davis Win; Muncie Triumphs Over Tech’s Warriors.

By LEO DAUGHERTY

The Shortridge Blue Devils and|

Cathedral's Irish today appeared! to be the elite of the Indianapolis] high school football circle as each! checked in with their fourth con-| secutive victories. | The Blue Devils further empha-| sized their power by grounding the Culver Flying Squadron, 9 to 0, on the Shortridge Field yesterday afternoon while the Irish smashed! Washington's Continentals, 12 to 6, at Washington. Look what the schedule ahead offers as a real test of the strength of the two local topnotchers: Shortridge tackles the Continen-| tals on Oct. 21 and just five days] later has the Irish to contend with. | Manuals Redskins war danced to a 13 to 0 victory over Warren Central’'s Owls in another afternoon district game. Last night, the Southport Cardinals bowed to New Castle, 20 to 6, at New Castle, Ben Davis smeared Plainfield, 26 to 0 at Stout Field and Muncie thumped Tech, 34 to 0 at Muncie. A brother act went wrong at Shortridge Field yesterday and combined with a blocked punt was responsible for the Blue and White's bringing down the much heavier, more mature and experienced Maroon and White squadron. The Devils, in the first quarter, charged into Jack Troster, blocked | his kick and recovered on the| Cadets’ 22. After one play, Dan Maxson,| brother of Willis, Cadet oo was sent in for Quarterback Clements. In his eagerness to convey] the message he no doubt had from | Coach Russ Oliver, he talked to his/| team before a play.

Penalty Costly

That just about talked Shortridge into a touchdown, for the 15-yard penalty advanced the ball to the two-yard line and Kennev Smock’ twisted over on the second play. | Dave Smith place-kicked the point. | Both teams and most of the 4500] fans were baffled for a few minutes over what happened in the; fourth inning to give Shortridge its] two other points. | After Shady Shade, the Blue Devil captain, intercepted Rogers’| toss on the Cadet 20, the Devils] passed and ran the ball to near the Maroon goal, but relinquished | it on downs. | Willis Maxson was called to punt] and just as he applied his toe, he] stepped back of the end zone and | stepped Shortridge into a two-point safety. After the players had due explanation and the fans caught on, the ball was brought cut to Culver’s 20 from where the Cadets kicked off. The Blue Devils showed superiority throughout. They registered five first downs to Culver’s three. When play wasn’t near the center of the lot it was in Culver territory. Culver never really threatened. One of these days that Bob Nipper is going to break down and admit he has a team and an array of backs. Without even calling on Johnny Allerdice. still on the bench, he has four big Ss, Shade, Smock, | Bob Scott and Dave Smith. in 2ddition to Nelson Johnson and Fred Mayvnard. | Smock Is the Star

Yesterday, Smock was the big show, doing the passing. kicking. bucking and running, extending one sprint to 43 yards. The Cadets’ big rifle was Jack Troster, a triple threat, and one that had to be brought down in a hurry lest he break away. The Irish got a little peeved about| things before 4000 out at Washington in the first quarter and fire came into the eyes of Capt. Joe Fitzgerald and the others as they presented Teacher Joe Harmon with a red apple of victory. Farly in the game the Coniinentals charged in and Ralph] Canter and John Sipe blocked Foe | Fitz’ kick on the Irish 30, Canter scooping up the ball and scoring. Charley Coats failed to convert off tackle. Paul Moxley lost no time in ‘aking to the air and a series of successful tosses landed the oval over the goal, but the score was erased because both teams were offside.| The Irish again forged ah&ad and Bowers skirted right end on a double reverse to tally. Joe Fitz’ kick went wide. The Irish sparkled in the second frame. Joe Meihaus caught a Moxley toss for a 15-vard gain, Joe Fitzgerald ran end for 15 more, and | after three more plays roared across. Again, his point placement was off.

Defense Stiffens

The Continentals stiffened their defense in the fourth period when the Irish looked good for touch-| downs on two occasions. Cathedral passes brought the Blue and Gold to the Washington 17, but they were held for downs. On the second play Cathedral recovered on Washington's 18 after a fumble on a reverse from Harold Roth to Bill Howard. But on the third play the scoring opportunity was ditched as the Continentals recovered Joe Fitz’ fumble. The Manual Redskins, feathers plucked in two previous fights, took their wrath out on the Owls. With the going good. Harry Painter seized the opportunity to experience a lot of his tribe in the fray. Early in the second quarter, an entire new backfield, Bob Stringer, Pearlie Hickey, Allen Smith and Leonard Robinson, replaced Moe Nahmias, Russ Burtis, Charley Fletcher and Norm Williams. Julius Luckman got in later. As Dewey Donovan's punt put the ball on the Owls’ two, the starters dashed out again and after taking O'Connor's boot in Owl territory, Smith's and Nahmias’ sprinting brought the Redskins to the Owl two and Williams wiggled over. He missed the kick to convert. Since Donovan never dropped back except to kick, the Owls played for a boot when he went back in| the fourth period, but he e¢rossed| them and fired a ness to Roh Tim.

problem of feeding, housing and clothing tens of thousands of persons, who through no fault of their own, found themselves in dire distress. There was no adequate organization to meet the crisis. One had to be perfected. The township trustees realized the gravity of the situation and authorized me to name a committee to direct activities in the great emergency. I appointed the trustees from Center and Wayne Townships and later all of the trustees of Marion Couniy on this committee, also representatives from the charitable organizations, labor, employers, citizens, both men and women, white and colored. The committee was called the Mayor's Emergency

The text of Mr. Sullivan's address last night at the

Tomlinson Hall rally follows:

Nine years ago I asked your support of my candidacy for Mayor of Indianapolis. I again seek that office and again ask for your support of the record I made as Mayor for five years. In the winter and early spring of this year, I was told by thousands of the people of this city, by people of all classes, Democrats, Republicans and independents, business, labor, professional men and women, that I could, because of my experience and the record made, be of some service to our city. At their request, upon their petition presented to me, I again became a

It was all in the days before Federal assistance and we were pioneers in this work. There was no politics upon this committee. George Torrence, head of the LinkBelt Co.; A. Kiefer Mayer of the Kiefer-Stewart Drug Co., and Leo Rappaport, attorney-at-law, were the respective chairmen of the committee. Soon the committee built an efficient organization. The whole relief situation was systematized and soon working smoothly. Public and private agencies worked together for the common good. Indianapolis and Marion County took care of those in distress. We I have said that we turned over of Indianapolis owe much to the

interests of all of our citizens. I am proud of the record we made, although it is only in a small part mine. It belongs chiefly to the splendid, able and efficient men and women who comprised the personnel of the administration and

the end that those who toil may be adequately compensated and be permitted to work under the most favorable conditions.

I also believe that the differences of opinion between employers and employees can be properly adjusted or eliminated by frank discussion of the same by the parties involved seated around a conference table.

To this end I believe it to be the duty of the Mayor of Indianapolis to stand ready at all times and in every way possible to assist both sides in any labor controversy, to arrive at an amicable settlement of their differences. In this manner I propose to uphold and protect the rights of labor. The first track elevation in our city was completed during the administration of the Hon. John W. Holtzman. During our administration we completed the elevation work on West St., begun by former Mayor Slack, and inaugurated and completed the elevation over the Bluf Road and S. Meridian St. I am in entire sympathy with the program to elevate the tracks and will proceed as fast as the work can be done under existing financial conditions.

TOU. $. NEEDY

Wallace Shakeup Believed Forerunner of New Agricultural Policy.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The real news behind the extensive reorganization changes just announced in the Agriculture Department is that the Administration is shifting its stance on the farm surplus problem. Emphasis is about to be placed on putting our surplus food and fiber into the hands of low-income groups and among those on relief. We are going to try to use our abundance more fully at home. We may have to subsidize our own domesti¢c consumers but that is regarded as better than ignoring them while subsidizing foreign consumers by dumping our surplus abroad at a loss. The current reshuffling of the internal organization of the Agriculture Department is preparatory to putting that policy into effect.

Old Paradox Tackled

It is an attempt, through a different approach, to break the proe longed paradox of huge farm surpluses lying unused while millions of persons go inadequately fed and clothed.
