A BALLROOM manager very sell
l. A dom has the opportunity to
offer his dance patrons two feature
attractions in such rapid succession
as Tom Devine. manager of the In
diana Roof. will offer the Purdu-
VANS and the Ipana Troubadours to
his dance patrons.
The PurduvianS. a collegiate or
ganiZation composed Of young men
with practical musical experience,
come from the campus of Purdue
university to the Indiana Roof,
where they Will fill one night en-
gagement tonight.
Tomorrow, the Ipano troudabours,
a National Broadcasting and Co
lumbia recording orchestra will
stop in Indianapolis for one night
to play to the Roof dancers.
The success of the Prduvian ag-
gregation is very typical of the ag
greSsiveness of the youth of today,
according to Devine. Their orches-
ira was organized on the campus
for the enjoyment which its mem
bers thought they would derive from
having an orchestra that could play
for social affairs on the campus.
However, they were not long
organized when they found it in
their power to furnish more than
a drab dance accompaniment.
AS a result of their discovery,
they spent more time and work with
their organization. with the result
that they are now considered one
of the most highly polished and
capable orchestraS in their partic-
ular armament.
The Ipena Troubadours started
their musical career on Broadway
several years ago. The first engage
ment was in the RoSeland ballroom
where they went to fill a two weeks
engagement which prolonged itself
into stay of six years. They were
known during this engagement as
The TroubadourS. They changed
their name to The Ipana Trouba-
dourS when they started to broad
cast during the Ipana hour over
radio station WEAF. This hour
later became a part Of the National
Broadcasting Company's chain pro-
gram. with the result that the
Ipana Troubadours are now known
all over the country.
After their engagement on the
Indiana Roof Sunday night. the
Troubadours will continue toward
the Pacific coast on their coast to
coast tour.

The New York company still is 60
ing strong at this time in its fiftieth-
odd week, with a likelihood that It
will remain there through the sum
mer and not take the road at any
time, thus breaking the record OF
a long run attraction that begins
and ends its career in Manhattan.
Such a situation has been made
possible by the organization Of the
other companies for the road. The
company to return here is the Chi
cago one. assembled last August TO-
that city, and the first one 10 b.

Guiding two in Paris. whore It is be-
ing given both in French and Ing

Journeys End was first pro-
duced in London under the aegis
Of Maurice Browne. 1t was an
overnight success there and took
the town literally by storm. selling
out solidly for three months after
playing just little over five weeks.
The critics were rapturous in their
praise.
This realistic war play, which
deals with the actual reactions OF
men upon the front lines. was hailed
by initiate and layman alike as the
greatest modern literary expression
Of conflict. and as the greatest and
most powerfully moving drama that
has graced the boards in several
years. The play took an immediate
lead among the London dramatic
productions. and although that was
approximately year ago, it has
held the place ever since.

Sport ,S1a11tS ALAN J.0oulD

I happened to DC between the fires of debate the other evening between a baseball and football coach over the comparative ability of Yales Albie Booth in these two sports.
 Andy Coakley, Colunbla's base ball tutor and former big league pitching star, opened the argument by asserting:
 Booth is a better baseball short stop than he is a football half back"
 To which Lou Little, Co,umbia's new gridiron head coach, replied:
 If he's about half as good baseball player as he is on the football field, he ought to be in the big leagues"
 And the argument went on from there. Not the slightest disagree ment exists over Booths natural athletic ability. The Eli ace has now demonstrated as sophomore in three separate sports that he has the stuff, the ability to move in the fastest company in any branch of activity to which he turns. Coakley may be right, taking all the technique into considera- ton, but Booths most spectacular stunts seem reserved for the grid- iron.
 'Albie hasn't the weight needed 1 for football, said Coakley. but Little's retort is that Booth has all he needs to go places and do things on the gridiron.
 Lateral passing, heretofore cx- plotted by comparatively few col 1 lege football teams, will occupy a much bigger place in the offensive scheme of things next fall in the opinion of Lou Little. He already has had his Columbia squad work ing on laterals and plans to make it an important part of the teams attack.
 Lateral passing is sound as an alternative, but not as a basic weapon of football attack" re- ! marked Little.
 Hitherto, some teams over stressed it. Harvard, for example, seemed to me to rely on the later als too much at first but last year the Crimson alternated this type of attack with good running game
 Little, after a number of years of exceptional success at George town, is rehabilitating Columbia's football fortunes and optimistic of the prospects. Sound on funda- mentals, from the days when he was a star lineman at Pennsylvania, Little has aroused new spirit on

Morningside Heights. He has two fine assistant coaches in Arthur Sampson, former head coach at Tufts, and Herb Kopf, old Wash ington and Jefferson lineman.
 Little expects to have a better than-average line to start with next fall, and one of the best back field threats in the East in Ralph Hewitt, who was something of 8 sensation as sophomore last year.
 You can only teach a college football player so much in given space of time," remarked Little.

"He can be drilled adequately in all the fundamentals but he won't be a star unless he has the in- stinct to do the right thing in the right place. That faculty is what has made stars like Grange and Booth stand out above the rest"

YONKERS. N. Y, Nov. Is
GN.SJ. - Frightened neighbors
called to a passerby in front Of
SO Yonkers Ave-, Yonkers, early
today, and tossed down from an
upper window of the apartment
building at that address a note
containing a scent piece and q
request to "call the police"
When the police arrived, they
found in one of the apartments
A strikingly beautiful young
girl, half undreSsed, shot through
the back and lying dead on the
kitchen floor.
Another girl, only a year or two
older, clad only in her nightdress,
lying dead in the bedroom.
Man Also Dead
In the living room, a young
man. also dead-shot through the
head, the pistol from which the
shot was fired still clutched in
his hand.
Neighbors told the police the
younger of the two girls had been
the young mans sweetheart, and
out Of dozen or more scattered
bits of information the police fl.
nally pieced together the story Of
the triple shooting.
The girl was Dorothy Foster.
The young man. her sweetheart,
was Frank Masone, 80. The other
girl was Marie O'Connor.
Until about three days ago. &C
cording to the neighbors. they
shared the apartment.
Then Frank and Dorothy quar-.
relied.
Frank moved out and went to
live with two other men. John
Plea and Alphonse Nobli. in an
apartment across the hall.
Last night he persuaded Doro-
thy to accompany him to the
movies.
On their return, they went into
her apartment together, Marie,
the other girl, was asleep.
Some time later the neighbors
heard quarreling-first DorothY'S
voice, then Franks, mounting
higher and higher in anger.
Then a shot was heard.
Slain While Asleep
Police said that Frank shot
Marie first, as she lay sleeping.
Dorothy, screaming. ran from
the bedroom toward the kitchen.
Frank fired again. The bullet
struck Dorothy in the back, pierc-
ing her heart. Then Frank put
the gun to his own head and
pulled the trigger a third time.
He left a note, in Italian. A
police interpreter said that.
Frank, in his last missive,
accused Dorothy of having played
him false. Plea and Nobli were
taken into custody as material
witnesses,

SPAIN SEARCHES
FOR REBEL ACE

MADRID, Nov. Is U.N.SJ.-The
hunt for Major Ramon Franco,
Spanish air ace who escaped
from the convent-jail in which he
was imprisoned a month ago, con-
tinued throughout Spain today.
Guards watched highways, pok-
ing guns and bayonets into cov-
cred vehicles that might hide the
fugitive flier or his companion in
flight, Comdr. Eduardo Reyes, Of
the Spanish foreign legion. Franco
was serving a ten-month sentence
for writing articles criticizing the
government and favoring re-
public; Reyes had been convicted
of bigamy. Both were confined in
a room on the third floor of an
old building previously used as a
convent. During the night they
removed the bars on their win
dow and slid 20 feet to the street
by an improvised rope.
