NURSE WHO FREED GIRL
 PRISONER TO ATONE BY
 SEEKING THE CLOISTER

LOS ANGELES, April 5.-To atone for her wrong committed against the laws of society by religious devotion and penance for the remainder of her life was the pledge taken recently by pretty Roselle Smith, and student nurse at the County Hospital, who on Christmas Day last gave Betty Arnold her freedom from the hospital where she was held a prisoner.
 In order that she might carry out her plan to take the VOWS of nun the District Attorneys office re- quested the felony charge against her be dropped when she appeared before Superior Judge Mccormick for arraignment.
 Because of the fact that the of- fense with which Miss Smith was charged was prompted by mistaken idea of kindness, the authorities will ingly accepted her plan to enter an order of Sisters.
 At the time the offense was al leged to have been committed Ro- selle Smith was student nurse at the County Hospital and out of spirit of Christmas allowed Betty Arnold to walk from her cell to freedom.

MOVIES

Thomas Meighan, athletic Para mount star, is brawny sailors mate in his latest starring vehicle, "Cappy Ricks," which will be the feature at the Empress Theater for two nights beginning tonight. As Matt Peasley in this refreshing picture of the sea, MT. Meighan is said to have one of the best roles of his stellar career. Mr. Meighan loves the sea and boats, and "Cappy Kicks gives the star rare opportunities in sea scenes. The sea scenes were made in and near Bos- ton and off the rocky Maine coast, where three sailing vessels and a tug, chartered by Paramount, were en- ployed.
 One scene of "Cappy Kicks" reveals a boat propelled toward the treach- erous rocks by heavy seas and a high wind. A great risk was taken by the actors in this scene, as it was ne- cessary to brave rough water and the possible danger of being stranded on the rocks.
 MT. Meighan and his crew learned something of navigation in "Cappy [ Ricks," for in the storm scenes the star was obliged to pilot the tug which went to the rescue of the distressed vessel Agnes Ayres is leading wo- man and heads strong supporting cast.

INTERESTING NEW CAVE IS FOUND NEAR MOUNT
 HOLY CROSS, COLORADO

EAGLE, Col. April 5.-A new and interesting cave that is expected to draw thousands of tourists during the coming Summer has been dis covered near the famous Mount of the Holy Cross, in the Holy Cross National Forest, near here.
 The cave has been named the Fulford Cave, and extends several thousand feet from the entrance. It has never been fully explored, but natural fountain has been found in the interior that leaps 15 feet into the air, bubbling from an un- explored source.
 In this living cave" water per- petually freezes, drips, cascades and rushes in phantom streams that ere ate weird sounds.

ESKIMOS SAY GHOSTS
 HOLD NIGHTLY REVElS

Some natives of Alaska profess to believe that the angry spirits of the Aleuts massacred at the behest of the early Russian discoverers and trad CTS under Shelikoff, Baranoff and Chirikoff, are lurking in the vol canoes of the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes.
 Beneath the thin crust of the earth covering the lower Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian arche- pelago, these spirits, the natives as sert, are holding nightly revels and emerging periodically to hurl fire, smoke and thunder at the heads of the invaders.
 The fanciful recital of the natives is that on Chirikoff Island, long famed as haunted, half hundred natives were lured into log con- pound, set upon by savage enemies rrder direction of the Russians, mur- dered and despoiled of priceless sea otter skins. Their spirits are ap- nearing again in protest The erup- ticn of three volcanoes in January is, they say, a revisitation of these spirits, and will continue until they are avenged.
 For many years Chirikoff Island has been a place seldom inhabited by natives or whites Many narrowing tales from Chirikoff are told by Captain Nick Gailkema, who has visited almost every nook and harbor along the Aleutians. Last Summer the skipper braved the Valley of Smokes, emerging with the shoes burned from his feet and with many stories to tell.

NOT HAVE
DOLLAR IN
POCKETS

The lily white amateur circles of
the collegiate Middle West are some
what upset over the Punishment of
Gerber, the Wisconsin football player,
for accepting pay for teaching swim
ming to Y. M. C. A. class. A spirit
of uneasiness. and unrest pervades
the undergraduate world
Students are even afraid to cash
in their tobacco coupons for pre-
miums for fear that it will involve
their amateur standings. Student
golfers who have been playing for
small side bets are fearful that the
faculty spies will hear about it.
Students who receive a few extra
dollars for tending furnaces and en-,
large their pocketbooks by playing
Kelly pool are shaking in their shoes
The situation is becoming, so acute
that many of the boys are afraid tC
receive money from home, fearing
that it might bar them from the foot
ball squads.
- The games of bridge and nah jong
are now conducted with the greatest
secrecy in the classic halls.
The dollar is no longer an honest
possession. 1t is tainted. A student
with money on his person is plac ed
under the same suspicion as the
bootlegger. Things have come to z
pretty pass.

YA|VK GRID CAME
APPEALS To
CANADIANS
Defeat of Argonauts in New
York Shows Dominion Few
Fine Points.

OTTAWA, Nov. 14.-Canada is
progressing towards the American
game of football. The disastrous
deleat of Argonauts in New York
is likely to have van effect opposite
to that expected. Argonauts really
thought they could make a showing
against the American team by
using as much Canadian football
as possible.
They found this was impossible.
and while they were chagrined by
defeat, admit that the American
game has many fine features that
would do much to help along the
Canadian code.
Canadian players who are starring
in the American game, are enam-
ored of it, and declare that a mer-
ger of the two games could be &C.
cOmplished that would result in a
spectacular evolution of both sys.
TENS.
Queens won the intercollegiate
championship, and their record in.
cludes nine drop goals by their
star kicker, Leadley, and an un.
crossed line, the first time it mas
been accomplished in over fifteen
years in the intercollegiate. Queens
are the best team Canada has
seen since the Argonauts of 1921
and are probably better than that
aggregation.
Their interference is akin to that
Of a good American team. and it
is no exageration to say that they
would have been a 100 per cent
better team to represent Canada
than Argonauts. They should win
the Dominion championship with
out any trouble.

COLD Turkey
TO CITIZENS
Must Guarantee New Park or
Montreal Gets Ball
Club.

SYRACUSE, Nov. 14.--Is SYRIA
cuse willing to invest $4,000 in an
international League Baseball club.
That is the question the Chamber
of Commerce today has undertaken
to answer before December I. Fol.
lowing conference with representa-
lives of the franchise, committee
representing the Chamber is sound
ing sentiment" on the proposal.
The proposition put UP to the
city is substantially this:
The clubowners win not consent
under any circumstances, to keep a
team here next season without q
definite and specific pledge Of 9
new playing park In 1926.
Il the city does not guarantee a
new park, the team will be moved
TO Montreal next season.
IL D new park Is guaranteed. the
team will stay here next season
and win play In the present West
Genesee Street Park.
The uItimatum, which was laid
before the Chamber Of Commerce
by Philip q. Bartelme. president Of
the club, Is final and no compro
mise Is possible. Either q new
park must be guaranteed or the
city will have no International
League baaebaII next summer.
Neither Hsident Giles III. Still
well nor any naembers of his spe
cial baseball cornmitte would dis
cuss the proposition today, except
to admit that Mr.. BarteIme outlined
a proposal and gave the city until
December / to accept or reject it.
None Of these concerned would
talk figures. but it is assumed "a
new park would cost at least $50.
900, IL not considerably more. since
the land itself would cost large
sum in desirable section.

Harvard had won from Dart
mouth, an ancient foe. There
were many gentlemen there cele-
brating the defeat of the New
Hampshire team and prominent
among them was tall, well set
up man who carried cane. At
a certain point in the celebration
it happened to enter into his head
to 60 down the line of the bar
and crack every man there on
the well-known bean with his
cane, not heavy blow, but just
"a love tap, as it were. 1t was
for dear old Harvard" y'know,
and nobody objected.
Now the man who did that
thing was Percy Haughton and,
if he ever happens to see this
stuff (which he probably WON'T
he'll grin quietly and may or
may not recall that particular
night. Wouldn't be surprised
overmuch if he didn't, for we
don't recall any too much about
it ourselves, seeing that it was
Saturday night N everything.
But what we're trying to get
over is that this Percy D.
Haughton is a quaint cuss.

Columbia a Wreck.

NUIuutUA0 q WACChs
A S matter of fact-and none
u knows it better than this
~ same Haughton-Columbia
University is a football wreck.
For a number of years football
was banned at Columbia. Ger
tain highbrows thought they
knew better than anybody else
and would not sanction the game.
Then there came an awakening
and the game was taken up once
more, but during the hiatus the
splendid background furnished by
Harold Weekes and Bill Morley
was lost, never again to be found.
1t took years and years to make
intercollegiate football the splen-
did game it is. Columbia fell !.
of line and must work like the
devil to get back where it was
in the early years of this century.
Tom Thorp, a great Columbia
tackle in his day, must grin
sourly as he looks over the work
of Haughton's team this year..
Ursinus was beaten, ID to O,
but Amherst played a no-score
tie. Wesleyan was beaten, IL 20
q, and then Pennsylvania slammed
the New Workers, 10 to z, and
Williams won, 10 to o. Middle
bury was beaten, 8 to 6, before
the great Cornell eleven slapped
on a 35-to-O defeat.
Columbia's last victory over
Cornell was in 1905, IL to 6, the
same score the year before. In
1905 Columbia quit football and
the four games with Cornell since
it's resumption in 1920 have been
terribly against the New York
ers, 81 to z, Al to 7, 56 to 0, and
35 to 0, to be exact. "
Nevertheless, Percy D. Haugh-
ton "sees hope" after being slam
med to the tune of 35 to O. He
sure is a quaint cuss.

Last Saturday Dartmouth, en-
joying lead of two touchdowns
over Brown, found itself suddenly
on the defensive against a beau
tiful series of forward passes.
Before the Big Green could stop
the attack, the Brunonians had
scored twice and only field goal
by the Hanoverians enabled them
to win, 16 to H.
Running along behind Harvard,
5 to 0, Princeton turned loose q
brilliant forward pass attack IN
the final period of the game.
Lockwood intercepted one close
to the Harvard goal line, but
harly a minute remained to play
at the time, which meant whole
lot. -
We have seen football teams
right here in Washington play an
entire half without using for
ward pass even once.
Maryland showed consummate
wisdom in opening up a passing
game in the very first period at
New Haven last Saturday and the
two Maryland touchdowns proves
it.
Most coaches attempt the run
ming game or the plungine game
until shown its weakness before
entering upon the passing attack.
BY that time the opponent is
ready mentally for forward pass
es and even they don't do so
well.
Forward passing is but one
method of advancing the ball in
the modern game of football and
the team which uses it just as
it does its runs or line plunges
will eventually reap the advan-
tage.
It's tough turkey advancing a
ball ten yards in four attempts
with nothing but runs and
plunges. The passes are faxed t9
open the defense after which
comes more runs and plunges.
Little Bethany made George
town look foolish here in Wash

filings, but the Blue and Gray

period might have brought vic:

However, like baseball, foot
ball is a conservative game. II
is difficult for it's teachers to
get away from that wonderful
old background furnished by the
giants of other days, the men
who plunged through mountains
of beef to gain five paltry yards
at the expense Of bones them
selves.
