run.
He could bat anything. II the
pitching was low it had no terror for
him. II it was high he batted 1t just
the same. If 1t was a curve outside
he would go after it and probably
hit the ball. and he could bend back

ANOTHER PENN STAR
MAY NOT TAKE TRIP

PHILADELPHIA, December %. -
Pennsylvania hopes of defeating the
University of California on the grid
iron at Berkeley New Year day re-
ceived another setback yesterday with
the announcement that Ted Fairchild,

Blue eleven, had been suddenly stricil
en- with appendicitis and probably
would be unable to play.
With Clark Craig definitely lost to
the team because of an injury re-
ceived in the Thanksgiving Day con-
test with Cornell, Fairchild's illness
came as shock to coaches and play
crs alike. Craig and Fairchild We're
considered two of Pennsylvania best
lnemen, and the loss of both would
bc hard blow.
Fairchld, whose home is in Salt
Lake City, was visiting friends in

when he was taken i'll. His physician
said his condition was not serious and
that he probably would he able to de-
tarmine today whether he could make
the trip To the Pacific Coast with
Z safety.
Coach Lou Young started today to
groom Don Singer, sophomore, for
I7airchild's place, in case the latter
is unable to play. Bitter cold has
forced the squad to practice indoors

A final outdoor workout is planned
for Christmas day, when the squad

Chaplin, l can not think OF myself

be to turn my back on the far horizon
which has always called me to 1t.
In the 10 years since l entered
that little Broadway motion picture
theater with its static western drama,
peanut shells, giant changes have
taken place. The film production at
tracted few men and women of real
intellectual capacity. Today we see
former member of the United States
cabinet presiding over its destines.
Then the motion picture theater was
as sporadic as 1t was stunted and
disfigured. Today the smallest ham
let puts up its first motion picture
theater at the same time that 1t
erects its first church. and in the
larger communities costly edlfices
have followed in the wake of the
costly picture. Eight years ago the

Motion pictures are, In truth, the

them No other agency, not even
the automobile, has combated so sue
cessfully the isolation of the rural
communities. When I think of the

SO many lustreless lives all through

overlook all the defects of the in
dustry and TO dwell only upon Its
perfections.
Yet defects there certainly are.
Undoubtedly the 10 years to come
will do much to remove them. My

firm one. and to this new era of ex.
pansion I wish TO dedicate whatever
