AND
SLIDES
By BILL BRAUCHER
Harvard Journalists

Some Harvard journalism, express
ed editorially several years ago In
the Crimson, school paper, played a
part in the severance OF football re-
lations with Princeton. Now, an
editorial in the Crimson can see no
reason for a football game between
Harvard and Army because Of IAN
absence of interests common to Har-
ward men and the U. 5. Military
Academy"
Perhaps IL the Crimson tried hard
enough. il could find an utter lack
OF reasons for Harvard playing any
body at all.
If Is easy to understand the Grim
son when 1t says the Army eligibility
rule, under which q cadet who has
PLAYED three years Of football at an
other college may still play for
Army, is a point against the same.
But that absence Of interests Is
something else again. What do you
make of 1t, my dear Watson?
Football Politics
AL a great many colleges and uni
yersities Dad" is regarded rs the
bane of athletics. Dad IS the fellow
who played football for dear old
Oglewash in 1901 and who insists
that his son should have a place on
the team. ven though football may
not be the boys game.
The writer, visiting recently at a
large eastern school. took some pains
to look up the status OF the squad,
with a view TO finding out about
the dads. Three inferior football
players at the college had earned
their letters simply because their
dads had raised particular havoc
with the graduate manager. These
dads happened to be wealthy and
influential and we're the donors OF
large gifts TO the school.
Heston Quits
Famous Willie Heston'S son. Willie,
Jr., quit the grid squad at Michigan
the other day after two years OF try
ing TO make good the Heston reputa-
ton for football proves. He show
ed great promise in 1929, but after
his first game turned out TO be just
another "B' team football player.
He played In a few games last year
and failed to ci.-,. Rather than play
on the seconds. he turned in his uni
form. -

MOUNTAINEERS
HAVE RECORD
Locals To Get Hardest Test
In Two Years AT
San Antonio

The j. c. Scorpions and Browns
vile high Eagles are bearing down
in preparation for games Thursday
and Friday.
The Screaming Eagles will test
their claws and wings against the
Tigers at Mercedes at 3:15 p. IN.
Thursday, and the Scorps will get
a severe test at San Antonio Fri
day night, collidjng with the
Schreiner Institute Mountaineers.
The Eagles reached their peak
against Corpus Christi last week,
but they will have 70 remain in high
gear to puncture the tough Mer-
cedes' line. The Tigers have little
in the way Of offense, but they
present a problem to any attack.
The Schreiner game is probably
the toughest assignment the Valley
college team has drawn in two
years. The Mountaineers always
have the best prep school eleven in
the state. They make a regular
practice OF beating conference fresh
men and smaller college clubs. This
year they hold a victory over Sam
Houston, leader in the T. /. A. A.
race.
Strong Record
In seven years, the Mountaineers
have lost only eight games. They
were intoxicated in 1926 and 1929
and 1t Is a well known fact that
Schriener does not Sidestep the
tough ones-although they did not
play the Scorps last season.
This season Bully GilStrap has
personal brilliance to burn and
what's more. he has nodded 1t into
a smoothly performing unit. His
starting backfield will likely be

New York.-Young David SelZ. nick has come to Broadway look ing for theater outlets for the inde- pendently produced pictures he will make with Lewis Milestone, the ace director of the moment.
 And the old-timers around the Astor tables chuckle as they re- call his father, Lewis Selznick, one of a few persons around whom all early movie history must be writ ten. 1t was the elder Selznick. who had been running on of those bargain jewelry shops, who launch ed Clara Kimball Young on her career, and who Is credied with giving birth to the star system as it was later developed by Adolph Zukor, and others.
 At any rate, one of the Broad way legends has it that when Selznick began to make big money in this amazing new amusement industry, he got bit swanky and appeared at the Astor with Jap anese valet. But certain East side gastronomic delights could not be traded by him for AstOr food-or yany other swank hotel food, for that matter.
 It was whispered that he had taught the valet to pickle herring in the traditional fashion, and that he used to go to his room to eat 1t. Having come as an inn migrant from Russia. he would also have his tea made in samo- var and privately served.
 
 one of the most refreshing American stories Is that of SelZ- nick, How much Is true and how much legend might be hard to prove at this date, but old-time Broadwayites swear to most of them.
 Ills message to the Czar of Rus sia upon the occasion of the cZar's abd ication has become a classic m cinema circles. Selznicks family had felt the heel of the little fathers" military attaches.
