GRID STAR TO TRY
. TALK|ES THIS TIME
Has Optional Five-Year Con-
tract, but Says He May
Not Last Long.
BY ANNE ARMSTRONG.

@HICAGO, January 24.-Red
"a Grange is going back to
~ 4 Hollywood, and this time
he is taking his voice with
him in an effort to convert him
self into talkie.
AS soon as Reds latest motor is
tuned up and the Western roads
are navigable he will start driv-
ing West.
A five-year optional contract is
the immediate cause for the trip.
Work is to start not later than
March 1, and probably Red will
be singing theme songs into the
microphone early next month.
Anxious to get at the bottom of things
asked him If the company offering
the contract had dropped any hints
regarding the nature of the pictures
which he Is to make.
mo" he answered, "they haven't
said much yet but I imagine I'll make
a series Of athletic pictures. You know,
fall fainttng across the goal line in the
late minute of play, smack ball over
the fence with two men on and two
men out, and two runs behind, make a
sensational recovery in a checker game,
and marry the heroine in the last reel.
Golf Not So Good.
ct hope I won't be asked to do a
golf number. The last time played
sliced three balls off the first tee and
they shot past the head of a fellow who
was fixing some wires on a telephone
pole 200 yards away. After the third
shot he came down and wanted to
beat me up because he thought was
aiming at him."
why not do a polo storyP" I sug-
gested. There's nothing quite like a
polo outfit for pictorial effect"
But, my good woman" said Red,
DO you realize that I'm supposed to
last five years?"
And so 1t was decided to save the
polo picture until the latter part Of the
fifth year.
do you think that you will make
good in the talkies?" asked with
interest.
'"I'll write you q letter and tell you
about that later. There are lots of
difficulties connected with the problem.

mer and gained a little experience, but
If have trace of self-consciousnes
left, I'm through.
And, believe me, it's hard not to be
self-conscious. Imagine sitting under

ing suggestions on the proper method
Of procedure. It seems to me that it
would occur to the directors and as
sist yes-men that q fellow might have
some ideas of his own on the subject.
Can't Tell About Foot Ball.
'It's hard work, too, and makes
foot ball game look like a Sunday aft
ernoon outing in the park. You spend
all day acting and all night learning
the lines for the next day. But there's
one thing may be thankful for, and
that is I'm no tap dancer, and they
can't put me in cabaret scene"
And" says I, slyly, "how about foot
ball next Fall? How about it?,
Well" said Red, "it's an easy thing
to say no at this time Of the year, when
the snow comes down in bales and the
thermometer goes down to zero, but I
don't know how I'll feel In October.

for few months. In fact, shouldn't
be surprised If the company should be
glad to let me of for few years."

COACHES IN BIG NINE
YIELD TO COIN LURE

The Western Conference obviously
has reached the conclusion that win
ming foot ball coaches are entitled to
little more salary than dental deans
or physics professors, and maybe
rightly so. At any rate, the Big Nine
has lost two Of its most efficient grid
IRON leaders during the past six weeks
TO universities with looSer purse strings.
DR.. Clarence Spears Is ready to desert
Minnesota for the oregon Webfeet, Just
few weeks after Jimmy Phelan quit
Purdue for Washington. In each in
stance the Western schools offered
much larger salaries than the confer
erce universities would pay. Phelan is
getting $4,000 at Washington and
Spears $11, 500 at oregon. The top in
the Big Ten is $4,000, and $4,000 holds
some of its coaches.
With the addition Of Phelan and
Spears the Pacific Coast now can claim
to have four Of the country's outStand-
Ing foot ball teachers, since Pop Warner
Is well established at Stanford, and
Howard Jones Is functioning marvellous
ly at Southern California, with Bill
Spaulding at the University Of Cali
fornia, Los Angeles. and Paul Schissler
at Oregon Aggie. NibS Price Of Cali
fornia and Babe Hollingberry of WASH
tngton State are the only Far Western
foot ball products coaching on the
Pacific slope.

Cut-Back Attack
Is Used by Penn
BY SOL METzGER.

The initial idea in the cut-back
attack, used by Penn for the last
two Eastern college titles, was to
break up the old-time stock defense
under the basket, q defense that
called for man to pick his man
and stay with him by keeping be.
tween him and the basket.
Coach Eddie McNichol figured
that the way to free . player from
his guard would be for the first man
to break through the defense to
pivot when near the basket and
come back to the foul line. In this
way he could act as o focus around
which the attack would center. So
the initial move was to drive for
ward No. down and then have him
reverse. Then he would have his
immediate opponent 10 his rear, even
IL said opponent was between him
and the basket.
The ball was fed TO this man, No.
/, the pass so timed that the other
forward, No. 4, passed in front of
him q fash later. This made the
play q legal block, as No. was en-
titled to his position on the court.
q position that blocked No. as oppo-
nent from following No. 4. Thus 4

Take 5 Out of 7 Bouts With

in Action Tonight.

- ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY Is on
to a promising start on its
4 boxing campaign, but its 5-to-
2 defeat Of Temple University
at Brookland was not as decisive as
the bout score would indicate. Three
of the Cardinals victories were scored
by the closest margins and in one Of
the bouts an overwhelming physical
advantage was in favor of c. u.
The spacious gym at Brookland was
filed by about 1000 men and women
who enjoyed the meet.
Jack Malevich, versatile Cardinal,
defeated Abe Softer in what was ex-
pected to be feature bout, but Jack S
showing was bit disappointing. Twice
Harvey L. Miller, u. S. M. c., for rabbit
punching and only in an extra round
did he clearly outright the Template.
It is said Malevich was hampered by
an injured thumb. The big fellows
right knee was bandaged-a hangover
from foot ball.
Johnny De Pasquale showed more
class than any other of either team in
winning the 115-pound scrap for G. u.
from Peter Dalessander.
/ Harry Di Giacomo, G. u, eked out
a decision over Nicholas Mariana in
the 125-pound class. Both lacked
punch.
In the lightweight class Irwin De
Mar, Temple, outpointed Jimmy Nc
Guire decisively.
Rocco De Blast, Cardinal 145-pounder,
got the verdict over Irving Butcher,
Temple captain, in an extra round, al
though it was just about a draw, in
GLIDING the extra Stan2a.
The Cardinals trotted out tall youth
named Thomas McCabe for the 160-
pound scrap who defeated Anillio Leone.
But Anillio made the fight. Toms arms
we're so long his enemy was forced to
do a whirling derviSh to keep out of
range and yet managed to get in close
enough and often enough to permit ex-
changes of blows.
In the 175-pound division, Joseph
