The 13 men of the Bray-Pathe
Colorado river expedition arrived
safely here tonight after battling the
dangerous rapids of the Green and
Colorado river since November 10
when they took off from Green
River, Utah. They had expected to
make the trip in 10 days.
The expedition in charge of E.. G.

ther harassed the party from The
day of it's take-off LaRue said icy
water dashed over the boats at
every series of rapids and forced
the party to stop repeatedly to thaW
out their clothes.
Difficult portages delayed the
party SO that on one day they made
less than mile Low water forced
them to carry the boats in places
along which they had expected no
trouble.
The radio equipment which they
carried was smashed in the rapids
in Cataract canyon below where the
Green river joins the Colorado, in
southeastern Utah. Cataract can

.VAUDEVlLLEAND
FILMS DON'T MIX
SAYS GOODWIN

CULVER CITY, Calf Nov 80 P
Samuel Goldwyn, one of the veterans
of motion picture production, today
declared that disaster and ruin" are
staring the films in the face because
Of the fad for mixing vaudeville with
pictures in the theatres of the coun-
try.
Going even farther than the state
ment made in New York yesterday by
Joseph M. Schenck, head of United
Artists corporation, that the film
vaudeville combination is a "detri-
ment"' to picture production, GoldWyn
asserted that 'the public is simply
being fooled, for, under such an ar
rangement, it is not getting Ieither
good vaudeville or good pictures"
Furthermore, said Goldwyn, "the
motion picture fans will resent this
poor quality, as they already have re-
sented being exhausted by an hour OF
cheap vaudeville before the picture
starts.
"There is room for vaudeville sep1
arately and pictures separately, but
the two do not belong together. If
the combination continues, the film
industry will be forced to make poorer
pictures because of the heavy vaude-
vile cost burdens borne by theatre
owners.
"This question is not alone Ameri-
can; it is international Good pic
lures have given us splendid foreign
market, but he will lose our supremacy
if we are forced into cutting quality"

CHEsTY TEAM LOSES PUNCH

I ain told that Rockne's stunt of
starting his second-String players was
first thought of as ruse to keep the
regulars from getting too chesty.
1t was several years ago when
Rockne's great team, featuring the
-Four Horsemen" in, the backfield, was
running roughshod over the field that
the Notre Dame coach got his big idea.
I understand Rockne feared his team
was about to suffer from a bad case
of "swell headedness" and pondered
as to how he might avert such a
catastrophe.
When he sent in his second string
team to start an important game and
left all the regulars on the bench,
including the -Four Horsemen," most
people thought he had suddenly gone
crazy. However, it was simply his
scheme to let the varsity know there
were other good football players at

FEW ALL-AMERICAN sTARs

{.
For years and years Knute Rockne
has been turning out remarkable
teams at Notre Dame, yet when the
season is oyer and the experts begin
picking their al1-American stars, you
seldom find more than one man from
Rockne's great eleven of that year in
the first team lineup.
Recently I asked Rockne, for an
answer to that rather unusual con-
dition and his immediate reply was.
"AS a rule some of my very best
players do not get an opportunity to
prove their real worth because they
aren't in the game long enough. 1
naturally have number of backs of
AaearlySequal ability and I aim to give
them all a chance.
Such system very often keeps
some particular player from getting
the headlines he would had he been
permitted to play longer, thus giving
him better opportunity to display
his stuff"

he had three or four truly great play

know that zuppke considers Timm
one of the best halfbacks in the coun-
try, yet in one rather important game
this fall Tirnm didn't get into action
until the final period, although in per-
feet condition to start
zuppke simply picked the spot where
he believed he would be of the most
value to the success of Illinois, rather
than catering to Timm and using him
solely to give him a chance to shine
and perhaps be of no great use when
the crisis arrived.
