MICHIGAN NOT
TO ADD ROWING
TO SPORT LIST
Aquafics Are Held to
be Too Expen-

Michigan will net add rowing 10
her list CT university sports. AS
a result of QUESTIONABLE sent out
to the various rowing colleges il
was made clear to the board of ath-
letic control at Ann Arbor that
aquaucs have a very slight earn
ing capacity while the cost of cOu-
Quoting the sport places it among
the very expensive Injuries. It is
unfortunate and not a little IRON
ical that the very element that
worked against rowing at Michigan
and has deferred other colleges
from entering the sport is that it
is pastime SO purely amateur that
by no conceivable possibility could
it be made anything else. The com
mercial element is altogether lack
ing save when there are observation
trains. Or stands erected opposite
the finish line, and the return from
these is practically negligible Thus
only colleges with a long rowing
, tradition back Of them are willing
, to incur the expense involved in
maintaining the sport
The sport is conducted more eco
nomically at Princeton. The head
coach, DR.. Spaeth. is a prominent
member of the faculty and receives
no compensation for his services
on Lake Carnegie. But even with
the saving of the coach's salary

ing dget-rowing al Princeton in
the past fiscal year cost the ath =
letic treasury S11 .34S17. Michf-
gan estimates that the expense of
supporting rowing would be approx
imately 10000 modest est
mate-and has decided that a sum
so large could more advantageous
ly be spent upon other non-produc-
tive sports already established at
Ann Arbor.
Grid Men Work Way.
Why is it that the average col
lega football squad contains more
players who are working their way
through college either wholly or
partially than players whose par
ents are footing the bills? Is it
that a life more or less pampered
is not conducive TO football ability?
Or is the reason less physical in
its nature than mental? In other
words, does Willingness to absorb
the shocks and blows and grinding
labor of the football grid;ron arise
more naturally in the boy whose
caurse through life has not laid
along rose-bowered lanes, than the
boy whose parents have been able
to make things easy for him? In
any event figures Just given out
at the University of Michigan Will
not differ greatly. it may be sus-
pected. from that of any other b
institution in sthe land OF the
squad who gathered at Ann Arbor
for football practice last Septem-
Der, 20 per cent were working their
way through college. Yet of the
entire student body only % per
cent are self-supporting 1t is re-
ported that more than % per cent
of the Maize and Blue basketball
squad IS paying its way through
college

New York. March Tommy Glib
bons is expected here the latter part
of the week To complete training foD
the battle with Harry Greb on the
night OF March IS. Greb arrived in
town today and his appearance was
the signal for q bear movement in
Gibbons stock. Just why this sort
of gossip should obtain a foothold
in New York where Gibbons has a
host of admirers is peculiar, to say
the least. So far as can be gath
cred it has come from Boston where
Tommy recently did battle with a
heavy weight ramed Mccarthy All
Mac did was to hang his face on the
St. Paul boxers fists at every OPP
portunity. But now We hear that
Tommy's style is not impressive and
that he has no real knockout wal
lop.
Wonder If this Mccarthy stuff is
due to the fact that George Engle.
Greb's manager, went up to Boston
to study Gibbons in the scrap?
Engle is keen-eyed man and while
he was sitting close to the ringside
thCIo "aS ncl iAuIH ShdHSe tHdL
Gibbons would produce his fanciest
assortment However, there is little
tendency among bettors of the me
tropolis today to plunge on Gibbons
chances against Greb. There is no
doubt, though, Judging from present
indications that Gibbons will be at
least slight favorite. before the
men enter the ring.

PALACE THEATRE
To Install Radio Equipment

Ever alert to keep abreast of the
times and prompted by desire to
give its patrons the very best, the
Palace theatre at this time is arrang
ing for the installation of a radio
equipment Just to what extent these
plans will materialize is somewhat un-
determined and problematical. Suf
flee to say, however, that plans are on
their way for transmitting instru
ment which the Palace theatre hopes
to use in connection with the forth
coming engagement of D. w. Griffith's
Orphans of the Storm" Since an
augmented orchestra and typical
Griffith score and Griffith effects are
part of this entertainment, the Palace
theatre hopes to transmit to all anna
teur radio fans this wonderful enter
tainment If the venture proves sue
cessful, it is planned to have it as a
permanent feature at the Palace the
Hamilton theatre to feature radio in
atre. Thus the Palace is the first

ments.

HOW D. W. GRIFFITH
HANDLES HIS MODS
None Ever Able to so Inten-
sify Great Crowds as This
Master Director
VOICE HIS ONLY MEDIUM
Rehearses Hundreds, Gradually
InstilIing Into Them Spirit
of the Action

No director has ever been able to in
tensify his mobs in motion pictures as
has d. w. Griffith, who incidentally
has also handled more mobs than all
other directors combined In Cor
phans of the Storm" his latest enor-
mously popular picture, based on ''The
Two Orphans" and coming to the
Palace theatre next week under a
United Artists Corporation release,
Mr.. Griffith shows this mastery in
vivid details
Much has been written about direc-
tors with telephones, megaphones, and
other picturesque means of signaling
for action. But Mr.. Griffith tried out
the telephones seven years ago, and
discarded them. When he is going out
to direct the heavy mob scenes, Mr..
Griffith first fasts practically for forty
eight hours, eating only vegetables.
On the morning he eats very hearty
breakfast, and insists on having all
the extras in the mobs fed.
First he rehearses the action in de-
tail, probably five times. When even
the slowest of the mob members
is conversant with the action, Mr..
Griffith then circulates among the
mob. Here and there he stops to ex-
plain the action. He changes the faces
from front row to back and around to
suit the needs of the scene.

AN EARLY BIRD

Years and years ago they told us
that the early bird catches the worm.
If this old adage is true, then d. NJ.
Dunwoody will be one of the next
county commissioners. Dunwoody
came to town Wednesday from Oke-
ana, which is in Morgan township,
from whence came many of our for
mer county officials, and announced
that he would again make the race
for commissioner. At the last cleo
tion he was candidate, and while
he did not receive enough votes to be
elected, he received enough to encour-
age him to get in the fight again
Dunwoody has many friends in Ham
ilton and they predict him an easy
winner
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-04-21

1t is all done very quietly. Another
rehearsal is held Again he goes
among them, correcting mistakes, sug-
gesting new action There will be
perhaps fifteen minutes quietness
while he is arranging his cameramen,
lights, ETC.
Suddenly he steps out and hurries
through the crowd Sharp, incisive
words, he almost runs. He begins to
shout back and forth through the
gathering, there is stir everywhere,
everyone quickens, his voice rattles in
sharp rigid volleys of commands.
Every eye is upon him.
Then he springs to the platform that
is always arranged, gives one great
shout that can often be heard half a
mile-and the mob begins to seethe.
Every eye in the crowd is upon
Griffith. As he moves, they move.
As he stills, they still And when he
raises his arms in violent action, the
mob literally lifts itself to a frenzy.
1t is test of tremendous strength
and it is proof of most amazing
leadership.
SO intensely interested and deter
mined do these crowds become toward
the latter part of the day, after Mr..
Griffith has fired them again and
again, that he has to warn them re-
peatedly against roughness.
Dull crowds, producers find, kill the
scenes in which they appear, no mat
ter how intriguing the main action.
But the mob scenes in "Orphans of
the Storm" have added much to the
vast excitement of the climax in that
enormous production.
"Orphans of the Storm" will be
presented for a limited engagement
beginning Sunday, April %, with aug
mented orchestra, special lighting
effects, and other specialties typical
of Palace de luxe presentation. The
performances will be continuous from
1890 to midnight, thereby reducing
the admission from roadshow prices
