SPANISH SINGER
TELLS STRANGE
STORY OF MUSIC

Iuisa Espinel, Spanish singer who
will make public appearance here
Saturday night at the Grand tneater
has strange story to tell of where
she acquired the songs and rare
costumes she uses in her work. Al
though Miss Espinel is of American
Spanish extraction, being born on a
ranch not far from the Arizona home
of Harold Bell Wright, she has spent
more than two years in actual re-
search and many thousands Of dollars
digging out her songs and costumes
in remote parts Of Spain.
The tamborine or pandiero she
uses hung for 200 hundred years
in m Asturian kitchen in northern
Spain and was the property OF
peasant girl with a reputation for
magic.
The wedding dress Miss Espinel
wears for some of her songs. is OF
Valencia brocaded silk more than
century old. The costumes and
properties that she uses would in
themselves make small museum OF
rare Spanish articles.
The senorita's songs themselves 70
back to the 18th and 18th centuries
and show Celtic influence. She
dances Galician dance which
strongly suggests the. highland fling
and others might be mistaken for
early Irish. Miss Espinel spent some
months finding this music in the
royal museum at Madrid, the Spanish
national library and escorial.
The appearance of this Spanish
artist here is being sponsored by a
group Of music lovers from two ma
tions. They not only want to hear
her and see her themselves but they
want everyone in Douglas to have
this splendid opportunity which comes
for the first time TO q city of this
size. The artistic work OF this Span
ish singer and dancer has bewitched
hundreds in audiences used to all
that art and music can offer, III New
York and other large cities. Satur-
day night she makes her first ap-
pearance in this city.

GERMAN FLIER,
BROKE IN INDIA
WOULD co HOME.

| BERLIN, Nov. P-The foreign
office was advised today by the
German counsul general at Calcutta,
India, that Otto Koennecke, who set
out to fly to the United States by
way of the Orient, is i'll and penni-
less and desires to abandon his plane
and return home.
The foreign office understands this

! The airplane Germani, in which
Lieut.. Otto Koennecke and Count
: George Cedric Solms- -Laubach set out
from Cologne, Germany, for San
Francisco September 20, was dogged
by i'll luck almost from the inception
of the plan.
! The plane not only suffered acci-
dents after the trip was under way
but was delayed in it's start by bad
weather and misunderstanding with
insurance companies Previously Koen-
necke had been compelled to abandon
plans for a transatlantic hop
! Count Solms-Laubach, financial
backer of the flight, left the plane at
Bender Abbas, Persia, after he was
seriously injured in a crash near
there. For a time it seemed that
the flight would end at Bender Abbas,
but Koennecke decided to go ahead
alone.
The plane and fliers were lost for
several days when forced down near
Bender Abbas and all Germany was
alarmed. Last week the plane with

II is more than possible that the

II may be that the committee intends
that. when a team carries the ball

have no right to recover that tumble
and run with it. Colgate lost to
Navy on such a play last Fall. Col
gate had Navy on the short end of a
7.to-6 score and had carried the ball
to the 1.yard line for what apparently
was going TO be another score. In
stead, however Colgate fumhled on
the 1-yard line and Navy end picked
up the ball and ran 50 yards for a
touchdown to win for Navy. That
tumble gave Navy 13-to.7 victory
when an apparent 14-to-6 triumph
was in Colgate's grasp. The whole
question involved is whether or not
on the tumble the ball should have
been dead, still belonged to Colgate for
another try at touchdown, or whether
Navy was entitled to get all the gain
"
SILT of Colgates error.
1t seems from an impartial view
that the tumble of punt, with that
tumble recovered by the opposing
side. is enough penalty for the error
and will make little difference in the
game. But it appears. on the other
hand. that any attmept TO limit the
advantage a team may gain from
fumbles behind the line of scrimmage
will detract considerable from every
contest. 1t takes away one of the
great possibilities for the defense. 1t
hurts the coach of big team to have
his men carry the ball half the length
of the field and lose ii on a tumble,
but the very danger always has been
source of interest to spectators, as
many times 1t has been productive of
some of the greatest thrills" foot
ball has produced.
Some hold that the changes in the
rules are efforts on the part of the
big schools TO eliminate as far as pos
sible the danger of errors, SO that the
big b0ne-crushing outfits may have
the advantage. Those in charge of
the big teams might well come back
and say that to eliminate the fiukes
is a wise move, fair move, so that
all games may be decided more on the
merits of real foot ball. It's just ac
cording TO the side from which one
views the proposition.
