The only other player not behind
Whalen's record is Bradley Mand-
lev, of Stanford Paper Company,
who has 1853 for "a games.
Yet two weeks ago some Of the
leading stars almost belittled Wl1al.
ems brilliant mark by predicting
averages for themselves Of approx.
imately 40.
Among these was WhaIen
himself. Another of note was
WOIstenhOIme. At the time
several had averages of 40 or
better.
But all have dwindled quite rap
idly and the general opinion now is
that, the dwindling hasn't stopped.
Howard Campbell, the King Pin
ace, went on record with a state
nient several weeks back that
Whalen's mark would stand up
pointing out that the District
League this season is rolling on n
wider circuit Of alleys. Rarely does
any team shoot more than two
consecutive sets on the same maple
ways.
This makes a noticeable differ
ence, in Campbell's opinion. He
might point to his own averages in
two leagues to bear out the point.
In the District League his mark Is
E115. In the National Capital. which
stages all matches at one establish
ment, his average. is 122.
One OF the consistent stars with
chance to beat Whalen's record
is none other than the famous
southpaw, AL Work, Of Convention
Hail.
Work II having one Of the
best seasons OF a long career.

year that All was approaching q

So much for the South. The
East is more or less licked now.
unless n. Y. u. can do something
about it next Saturday. which isn't
altogether improbable. So is the
Middle West. AS for the coast. it
won't be able to nominate any kind
of a candidate until after 1t sends
southern California against Notre
Dame and Stanford against the
Army.
Rain reduced many of Saturday 8
contests to mud bathing, but there
were few real surprises. Princeton
figured to beat Yale and did. al
though / can't say 1t was alto.
gether a workmanlike performance.
Iowa probably was favored over
Wisconsin but found itself playing
what likely was q better football
team under any conditions. Detroit
and Boston College did everything
expected Of them in winning With
something to spare over Fordham
and Canisius, respectively.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-11-19

Wisconsin, on the verge OF show
ing where the authority rests In
the Western conference. can't hope
to extend it's claims geographically
because it was tied by Purdue
which lost to Northwestern and
Minnesota.
California and Southern Salifornia
have yet to establish sectional
priority before they can consider
the matter of going out of their
jurisdiction. Princeton has ties
with Virginia and Ohio State to ex.
plain, which is being done. and
Detroit, Boston College, Ohio Wes-
leyan and Vi1lanova lack schedules
Of major consequence.
Therefore. If Carnegie can make
II unanimous BY beating New York
University next Saturday, there may
be few teams that can dispute its
right to the Dational title There
will be none that can present a
superior claim.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-11-19

At this writing it appears
that the most plausible cOnten-
ton will come from the South
ern leaders, Georgia Tech,
Florida and Tennessee. The last
two will engage in an elimina.
ton contest on December but
Tech only has to beat Alabama
Poly. which should be simple.
and Georgia. which won't be.
Granted that it takes both in
stride, il will require Oraterical
fervOr to talk 1t out Of positive
consideration i'm a national way.
Tech also holds a decision over
NOtre Dame.

Nine. Nazimova appears in

Hartz Friend, depicting life in the
Ear East, notably the ancient

should take great enjoyment in
the sketch.
As for Nine. Nazimoya, she Is
her excellent self. A hoydenish
child wife of naughty Bengal

Sadie" Nets Gloria
Much Personal
-
Glory
By HAROLD PHILLIPS


Gloria swanson. looking very
dental and prettier than she has
ever appeared to this not-too.fre-
quent film viewer, atones heartily
for "Sonya" in Sadie Thomp-
son" that provocative tale Of g
prosecuted lttls faggot on the re-
mote isle OF Pago-Pago. Gloria
has two flasny moments, her out
burst against the oppressive Mr..
n. Hypocrite Hamilton and her
surrender to .'the light" as he
interprets It, just before she en-
coTnpasses his seduction. Gloria
makes everything Of her oppor-
tunities and though the picture
holds you from start to finish, you
get the impression that Raoul
Walsh was too busy acting Ser
geant QsHara to ace up to his
greater task Of directing the pic
ture. The film version. it strikes
me. Is something Of a sfadowy
carbon Of the stage play.
True enough. the subtitle cannot
replace the spoken word in a drama
dependent almost wholly on the
accents and infections of the cen.
trail character. What Price
Glory, made. UP for this In the
film version by giving us d wider
landscape and by antedating it's
beginning. Some Of us would
like to have seen slice Of Sadie's
life in Frisco and Of the events
that expatriated her to the other
side of the world.
The outstanding characterize
ton is Lionel Barrymore's. He is
the embodiment Of those cadaver-
Gus pieties who are always twirl-
ing tl1umb-screWs on the human
heart. Barrymore's leers and eye
narrowings are fearful things to
behold and your apprehension for
Sadie grows apace as he relent-
lessly pursues his plan to rid an
island Of savages OF the polluting
influence of lonely creature who
is trying to escape the very sins he
is driving her back to. Director
Walsh is an acceptable third, as.
Sergeant Tim.
The story deyiates hardly an
iota from the stage play and yet
concessions were supposed to have
been made before its filming would
be permitted. These surrendsrs
are so trivial as to have no alter
ing effect on the story. Hamilton
is made a civilian instead of gem
tleman OF the cloth. Sadie starts
to call her prosecutor that term
rejecting on his parentage. but q
hand ii clapped over her mouth.
Otherwise Sadie Thompson" is
Rain" within the limitations Of
audibility Of the screen.
Why can't the Columbia Or
chestra play wabash Blues"
when Sadie starts that tinny phono-

The Earle Show Is
AH-ArOund First
Class

Do you like movies whose
action and development you can
see long before all the characters
are introduced? Yes or no, there's
a surprise in Clara Bows new
starring picture, at the Earle
this week.
The title is Get Your Man"
The man is young Charles
Rogers, the boy who rose to
leading man eminence in Mary
Pickford's MY Best Girl" The
scenes are laid in France. young
Charlie is affianced to pretty
Josephine Dunn. Their fathers
had fixed it. when the lovers
were babies.
Now they're grown up, each
has another sweetheart, but the
honor of two families and the
hearts OF two fathers doom them
to matrimony. Charlie is in love
with the volatile Miss Bow, an
American visitor in Paris. The
two are locked up overnight in
WaXWorks muSeum-one of the
best episodes in the picture.
You know that Clara's going to
get her man. But how? 1t looks
easy, but you'd never guess how
it comes about. It's worth a
visit to the Earle to see. even IL
there were no stage show.
And speaking of presentations,
':The All Night Club" is one of
the best seen here. The out
standing hit Is the dancing of
Gypsy Byrne. The other acts
are a male dancing and singing
trio of great ability. Vassilu and
Klister, Apache dancers; Madeline
White, blues soloist; Caffrey and
Miller, excellent acrobatic comedy
dancers; Russ Morgan, master of
ceremonies, and his stage band.
One of the most novel short
subjects viewed here in some
time is the long-absent Carter de
Ravens Character Studies"
This gag held the audience SPELL
bound until the final give-away,
but the screen offered no explaT1a-
tions. The picture was made
quite a while back, undoubtedly,
for one of Mr.. de Ravens
studies is Rudolph Valentino.
The news reel completes the
screen fare.--H. G..
