HOLLYWOOD, June 6.-What-
ever evils may be laid at the door
of gang pictures, they at least
have made the screen fortunes of
three fine actors, Edward G.
Robinson, James Cagney and Leo
Carrillo.
All of the three are now draw.
ing cards in places where their
stage regulations had not pene-
trated.
Carrillo steps into another
gangster role in Homicide
Squad" which the veteran
George Melford will direct for
Universal. Like other recent films
dealing with the underworld, this
story gives the law the best of it.
Carriilo, as an italian gangster,
is caught up in the police drag
net and pays the penalty for his
misdeeds.
The film goes into production
after the star has had a brief
rest from his work in "Lasca of
Luc 1LlO AITduuG.
Wifely Wit
During his work with Ernest
LubitSch, Samson Raphaelson,
the writer, contracted the cigar
habit. Recently, he has taken
UP chewing gum to cut down his
smoking. But he chews it a lot
harder than most people.
The other night, his wife stood
1t as long as she could and then
snapped out: why on earth
don't you put bell on your neck
and give milk"
Dogs Having Day
When the talkies first came
in, the owners of trained animals
were practically frozen out. Now,
strangely enough, their business
is thriving more than it ever did.
j. H. Kerr, proprietor of one
menagerie, has five men work
ing constantly on sets. His four
legged and feathered actors in

which will scream on signal, an
owl that hoots on command and
many other varieties. In his

affinity for comedians. With no

and Tennessee and Alabama are meet
ing The Vanderbilt Tulane clash is
being looked upon as one that may
decide the Dixie crown. Any one of
these may determine that, as a mat
ter of fact, because these are the schools
rated at the top Of the Dixie foot ball
heap.
Georgia must win from Carolina If
it is to stay in the running, while any
eleven that is whipped is as good as
out Of the race. Vanderbilt and
Georgia generally are regarded as the
two strongest elevens, with Tulane, Ten
neSSee and Alabama almost on a par
for second consideration.
However, Tulane is stronger than Is
known by most people, according to a
foot ball man visiting Charlottesville
yesterday. According to him it would
not surprise if Tulane knocks Van
derbilt off its perch. North Carolina
people say they have little chance
against Georgia.
The surprise team of the conference
this year may be Auburn.
THE Big Three" OF Eastern foot ball
l. are tied up in three Of their most
important contests. Yale is at
Chicago to meet that university as a
special honor to Stage. Princeton faces
cornell, and Harvard goes to west Point
to meet Army. Most important, in the
general foot ball view, Of these is the
HarvardArmy game. 1t will be Har-
Yards first real test under its new
coaching system. and 1t will be Arn1y's
aim again to whip the Crimson.
A victory for Yale will mean much
to Middle Western alumni of the Dark
Blue, while If Princeton can defeat Cor
nell the victory should take from its
mouth good deal of the dark brown
taste left there last week by the Brown
men.
Another big E'stern game Is that be-
tween Columbia and Dartmouth at New
York. Columbia is hoping to wipe out
the memory of that one-sided score by
which Dartmouth won from it last
season.
One Of the stronger Southern elevens
goes North for a game, Florida at Syra-
cuse. The odds favor Syracuse, al
though some Southern people think
Florida has a chance.

FOOT BALL BUSHES
TO ASSIST CHARITY
Program of Benefit Games
Develops Rapidly All

n YEW YORK, October 16.-Foot
M balls proposed helping hand to
" the unemployed had developed
into a Nationwide movement
today with volunteers from virtually
every section of the country.
The program developed most rapidly
in the East, where three games or tour
naments already have been definitely
booked and others are In the making.
Army and Navy will play in the Yankee
Stadium here December IL for charity's
sake: Yale, Brown. Dartmouth and Holy
Cross will compete in an elimination
tournament at New Haven December 5,
while Princeton. Pennsylvania. Column
bia and Cornell will be competitors in
similar tournament In the Yankee
Stadium December 9.
That, for the time being. Is the East
ern program, but a game between Prov
idence and Rhode Island is considered
virtual certainty and number OF
schools, notably Rutgers and Davis and
Elkins have made known their willing
ness to participate.
Williams, although opposed to post
season games, was expected to devote a
part of the proceeds of major game
to the unemployment relief fund.
In the South, Tennessee's volunteers
have lived up to their name by indi-
eating their willingness to play for the
fund. Mississippi A. and M. also an
nounced it would be available and others
probably will follow
The Big Ten Conference still has the
subject under consideration, although
that powerful group already has
amended its bylaws to permit extern
sion Of the season from November Fl to
November % for tntraconference games
for charity. Dayton Of Ohio Is another
volunteer from the Midwest.
The Big Six ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Okla
homa and Iowa State-are known TO
be in favor Of post-season charity
games, but the conference, as q group,
has as yet taken no action.
Arrangements, however, already are
under way for Missouri to meet the
winner OF the St. Louis University
Washir gton University (St. Louis) game
of Thanksgiving day.
In the Rocky Mountain Conference a
charity game December at Denver
tentatively has been booked, although
the contestants have not yet been

COLORED GRIDIRONER
BANNED AS SEMI.PRO
Lillard Of Oregon Said to Have
Played Base Ball Under an
Assumed Name.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, October i6.-
Faculty representatives of the Pacific
intercollegiate Conference announced
today that Joe Lillard, University of
Oregon colored halfback, was ineligible
TO play college foot ball and said eliRi-
bility rules would be frightened.
The decision was based upon evidence
presented by Jonathan Butler, athletics
commissioner.
Prof. w. B. Owens Of Stanford, pres
1dent OF the conference, issued a formal
statement after meeting Of represent
atlves Of the 10 schools here setting forth
that Lillard had played under an as
sumed name"
While the statement did not identify
the sport in which he took part. 1t was
known that Lillard played semi-profes-
SIGNAL base ball with the Gilkerson Col
ored Giants.
The action ended "gentlemen's
agreement" under which Northwest
members of the conference had ignored
professional base ball activities on
the part of their athletics.
Some of those attending the meeting
were of the opinion that several out
standing athletes could be declared in
eligible with rigid enforcement Of the
conference rule.

@HIcAGo. october 1e.-There Is
a lurking suspicion on Chi
Y cago's midway that Amos
Alonzo Stage is about due for
another upset victory, and that Yale
will be the victim Saturday on Stage
Field.
Stages first surprise triumph was
accomplished In 1905 when his Ma
rooms defeated Michigan's great eleven,
2 to o. More recently he came up
with the famous 21-21 tie with Illinois
In 1924, and his last was a 15-to;s
victory over Princeton in 1929. He fol-
lowed up with a 26-to-7 dazzler over
the University of Washington the
same season. but failed to connect last
year. So, they believe on the Chicago
campus that Yale is making its first
trip into the Middle West just to take
beating.
For the occasion the "Old Man" has

tackles probablJ will get good work.

SURE OF TRIUMPH
Other Four to Play Either
Tonight or Tomorrow to
Have Tough Shedding.
BY H. C. BYRD.

T OCAL college foot ball teams,

II Of Georgetown, are due for
wild week end. And it Is
more than possible that tomorrow
night when the unscrambling
takes place there may not be
many laurel wreaths adjoining the
broWS of the young men who make
up these elevenS. About the only
one of the five teams scheduled
for games tonight or tomorrow
that would seem to have a dis
tinct edge on its opponent is
Georgetown, but injuries to play
ers there have Coach Mills wor-
ried so much that he should sleep
a lot better tonight than last
night.
George Washington and Georgetown
play tonight, the former with Tulsa
University here and the latter with
Duquesne University at Pittsburgh. The
ColonialS lost to Tulsa last season by
two touchdownS to one and they feel
they have no better chance to win than
they had then.
However, considered en- basis of the
result of last year, it would seem that
they not only have chance to win
but pretty close to an even one. 1t
would not be surprise if the local
eleven winds up with the long end of
the score.
Admittedly, George Washington is
better than it was last year. and If
Tulsa has not improved quite so much,
then the result may favor the local
school. Then, another thing, it was

win.
