scoring in all but the first period'
crushed and hammered and then
dashed their .way to their 14th
consecutive conference victory
last night as they ran over a game
but outclassed Albany college
team 42 to 0.
Weight and numbers and a
stonewall line were the doom of
the Pirates as they started to
falter and walk the plank after
holding the powerful Bearcats
scoreless In the first quarter.
Just too much all around for
the Pirates were the Bearcats who
rolled up 380 yards from scrim
mage jto a pitiful five for Albany.
With reverses, double reverses,
fake reverses and hard, honest
line plunging the Bearcats waded
through the Pirates from the sec
ond period, when they scored
three touchdowns.
That juggernaut from Jersey,
Dick Weisgerber, and Don Bran
don, hard-playing quarterback,
were the" two that started the
Bearcats off after Albany had
stopped them In the first quarter.
Brandon, making swooping
punt returns, and Weisgerber,
crushing his way through the line
and once dashing 25 yards for a
score, were the big figures as the
Bearcats rolled up a 21 to' 0
half time score.
Veterans Shine In "
Second Period
Weisgerber, who accounted for
100 of the 380 Bearcat yards,
dashed 12 yards on a fake re
verse to put the ball in position
for Brandon to, go the last two
standing up for the first score.
Dick went over center for the sec
ond after Charley Versteeg had
recovered an Albany tumble on
the Albany 24 and Jimmy Hogg
had moved it up.
Just before the quarter ended
Weisgerber again toted the mail
and careened 25 yards for the
third score after Bill Beard had
raced it forward 19 yards.
Brandon made a 29-yard punt
return to start the next stanza,
of the touchdown parade and
then scooted to the 11 on a re
verse, from where Jimmy Hogg
on a reverse hurried across for
another six points.
' Bill Beard and Ernie Mosler
packed the ball in a 35-yard pa
rade that ended with the Bear
cats richer in points after Beard
went over center J u s t as the

second Vatican "warning" to

Father Coughlin's "anti-God"
definition of the president was
made during a speech at Cincin

French Goods to
Cheaper Here
WASHINGTON. Sept. - IS.-flPV-
French devaluation, foreshadowed
by tonight's international mone
tary agreement, tends for the
present to make French laces and
others goods from that nation
cheaper for the American pur
chaser.
Likewise it tends to make Am
erican automobiles cost more for
the French buyer. .
The international agreement
looking toward stabilization of
world currencies which Is accom
panying devaluation of the franc
is designed to permit exporters
and importers to buy and resell
these goods without risk of loss
through monetary changes.
An American importer today
may purchase wine costing 31 in
France, figuring he can sell it in
this country for 31.25. A sud
den change In the relative value
rf tne currencies, while the
wine was crossing the ocean,
might make it cost him the full
$1.25 when It arrived, wiping out
his profit.
With stabilized currencies the
Importer j has the assurance that
when the; goods reach this coun
try he can pay for them what he
originally planned, because the
$1 will still buy the same num
ber of francs. -
