Naval Limit Farley
To Await on Hoover

The state Department exhibited
no surprise yesterday over the an
nouncement of Lord Cushendun,
British foreign secretary, that the
Anglo-French naval compromise had
been abandoned. Earlier reports
were to the effect that the British
would not attempt to make this COM
promise a basis of any discussion for
limiting naval armaments.
Even though the British announce.
ment yesterday clears the way for
discussion OF naval arms limitation,
it is indicated that the United States
will wait until after March 4, when
the new administration will decide
on the policy which its representa-
tives are to pursue In the matter.

Then came the first year Of var

man five dislodged the Varsity COM
bination. Coach Fred Rice started
his Varsity for the first few games
Of the 1926 campaign, but those
natty Freshmen warriors were
called upon before the games had
been half completed. Soon the en-
tire 1925 yearling five was con-
sidered the Varsity, not even Capt.
Jim Kenney having the honor of
starting a game. This was easily
explained as Coach Rice was re-

speed and precision.

Babe Daniels In
Fun Film Here

If you want a college education
in the course OF an hour-one de-
void Of study, yet teaching the lat
est thing in laughs-get down TO
the Texas theater, toute de suite.
The reason? Bebe Daniels! She's
back again-the same vivaciously
dashing bit of femininity who romps
through Paramount comedies to the
accompaniment Of a thousand
laughs. This time, they're all dress
ed up and stepped in college atmos-
phere. THE Campus Flirt," writ
ten by Louise Long and Lloyd Cor
rigan, was directed by Clarence
Badger.
Bebe is cast as a ~miscast"-a
girl who is sent to an American CO.
educational college because IL is
her fathers alma mater. He feels
that his daughters snobbish, AFRO
CANT ways are merely a veneer
through which the girls true char
acter will come smiling after a
period of shoulder-rubbing with 9TH
err students.
Of course, Bebe gets off on the
wrong foot. How she changes and
finally finds" herself. creates and
causes an ocean of laughs.
