Murphy. Judge ad rorate, In his closing remarks, asked that the court find Robinson guilty rf ‘cruel hazing,” as set out. He chimed that the two acts of hazing which Robinson admitted, were enough to justify the charge and spe clflftUons. Lieut. Horace D. Clarke, counsel for Robinson, argued (hat the two acts of luting were light in their nature, ind that Robinson had nothiug to do lth the more severe hazing, under which McGregor collapsed.

Tariff Levy Hits Everything “When you pay State and county taxes you get a bill and receipt, show- |‘ ing Just what you paid, hut the tariff ‘.axes are levied on everything you buy; you pay them when you buy a luart of salt or a suit of clothes.” The Republican Congress, he said, by increasing tariff rates and reduc- j Ing the higher schedules of the in come tax. has taken burdens from the rich and imposed them upon the or dinary man and woman, who cannot look out for themselves.

RIDGELY’S PLAYING FEATURE OF THE FRAY The St. John’s College football team defeated the George Washington ele ven in the game played on the local institution's gridiron this morning by a score of 27 to 14. During the first two periods of the encounter, George Washington flash ed very little in the way of a well knit attack, while its defense was ut terly unable to stem the onrushes of Ridgely and Cain, who made repeated gains through the Capitol City line. At the end of the first half, St. John's was on the long end of a 20-0 score*. In the second half, however, the i Washingtonians braced and put up a better exhibition, scoring Us two ‘ touchdowns on a forward pass—Mur phy to Ptak —and on a recovered fumble. St. John's was able to reg ister only a single touchdown in the final half. SL John's Starts With Rush 1 St. John's got the jump on their op ponents right at the outset of the game, and within a few minutes after play had started Cain was rushed across for the cadets’ first touchdown. All throughout the first period, the of fense of the Orange and Black was j far superior to that of George Wash ington, Ridgely and Cain making j gains through the Capitol City line al- ( most at will. The cadets. In the main, resorted to straight football in the , first half, employing the forward pass on only one occasion. Forward Passes Galore In the second quarter, George Washington’s defense showed a little improvement, but the work of the of fense was marred by numerous fum- ' bles. The playing of Murphy, quar terback for G. Washington, was the outstanding feautre of the Washing tonian's work. Toward the end of the second quarter. Washington uncorked a series of forward passes that looked dangerous, but they generally came to naught. Detailed play of first two periods: George Washington kicked off to Ridgely. who carried the ball to St. John's 44-yard line before being downed. Ridgely made 9 yards ofT (Continued On ri *.)

COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. # -■ ' i Snappy Autumn Weather Greets Gridiron Gladiators For First Big Iritersectional Game Ever Staged On Farragut Field This Afternoon. NAVY “STEAM ROLLER" AGAINST AERIAL FLASHES - W ith the midshipmen facing the swift-moving Georgia Tech eleven in the first intersectional gridiron game of any importance ever played here, today was a I real “Red Letter” day for football lat Annapolis. The contest drew equal interest with the battle be tween Harvard and the “Praying Colonels” of Centre College, also from the “Sunny South,” that is being played in the Harvard Stadium at Cambridge. Twcnty | thousand persons were expected | to watch the fracas on Farragut [ Field, and the Navy Athletic au thorities, utilizing all available space, had provided seating ac commodations for more than 1 000. Weather Conditions Perfect With a firm turf and weather con ditions of the clear, sparkling early autumn order, following a frost last night, there was snap in the air that was calculated to make the rival gridiron gladiators put lots of dasn and “pep” into their work, and it was expected that both teams would he able to pull ofT some brilliant and 'spectacular open field plays, va the {aerial route. Viewed As Even C hance There was no ruling favorite among ! close followers of the great autumn spirt, nor among the bettors. On the contrary the game was regarded as an oven chance, but there was a good measure of quiet confidence among the players, and those In close touch ; with them, as to the ultimate out come. The Navy blue will, of com sc. i predominate in tho colorful scenea around the battle arena, but hun- . dreds, yes some several thousand, en thusiastic supporters of the southern Institution, assembled in the big stands, and chair sections about the greensward, including the entire | membership of Tech's Bcnior class, some undergraduate Students, and a 1 band of music. Scores of Georgia . followers from near and far came to witness the battle, and the visitors • found not a few “rooters” among the ; football fans close to base. Crowd Assembles Early The out-of-town crowds began.’.ia - pile into the city along about 10 o’clock. They came by trolley r f*S over both the main Uue ot thaWawJ f ington. Baltimore aftdi * * Electric Railroad, and also the Short Line divcision of the road, and a con stant stream of automobiles was to be seen on both the Washington and Annapolis-Baltimore pikes. The real influx of spectators began between 11:30, and from then until after the i contest had gotten under way, there was a constant jam due to numerous special trains that were operated over the “Electric Line.” Members of the city police force did extra duty in handling traffic, and they had a hard job of it. “Doping” Out The Game Getting -down to the game from a football standpoint, Navy adherents figured that their “pets,” with the ad vantage of weight, and perhaps bet ter physical endurance, the latter of -which has been a telling factor in*' many, an athletic battle, would finally subdue the invaders from Dirie land. On the other hand. Tech'B supporters were ready to stake their last that the flaEhy offensive tactics that fur (fontlnnrri On P| 4.) PRICE TWO CENTS
