 ]. Harold Murray

Motion picture fans who love the exotic in scene and action, whe prefer to watch the age old drama of desire and attainment played against colorful and picturesque backgrounds, will be pleased with Women Everywhere, which be- gins showing tonight at the Coli scum theatre. It is a story oi French Morocco and the Foreign Legion, directed by Alexander Kor- da.
 Decks of Tramp Steamer
 The decks of a tramp steamer ir the rum trade; the streets of a Moroccan city, fascinating with the lure of the Orient; a desert fort oi the Foreign Legion; a cafe music hall frequented by Legionnaires Spahis, Arabs, sailors and motley crowd of assorted civilians-thest are some of the backgrounds against which the all-talking anc singing Fox Movietone drama is enacted.
 Gun-Running Captain

 Hurdles Mark Doubly Menaced
 Carl Coan, Pennsylvania star miller, ran the distance indoors in 4.13 last winter, but his early out door form has not indicated he likely will displace the L c. A. A. A. A. outdoor mark of 4:142i5 made by John Paul Jones of Cornell in 1913.
 Either Bill Carls, the 1880 win ner, or Ernie Payne, Southern Cali fornia's crack timber -toppers, may bust the 220-yard low hurdle mark Of 23.6 seconds made by the late Alvin Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania in 1898 Carls was within one-tenth second of equalling it last year

Stars to Scramble e for Speed Honors in In-
 tercollegiates
By ALAN GOULD

6Asscclated Press Sports Editor)
 PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Tht scramble for individual honors fig. ures to be much more close and ex. citing than the team battle fol points when the speed and brawr Of the Far West meet the dast and endurance of the Near East in the Fifty-fif5h annual Intarcol- legiate A. A. A. A. championships May 29-30, at Franklin field.
 At least two records are likely to tumble under the impact, with a number of others subjected to se- were pressure by the high class of competition anticipated.
 New Century Mark Seen
 Flying Frank Wykoff, the sensa- tional Southern California sprinter tied the 100-yard mark of 9-7 last spring at Harvard stadium. Before and after that he raced the century in the worlds record time Of 9.4 seconds. Under the circumstances it would seem Wykoff can oblige with a new I. c. A. "A. A. A. standard, especially if he happens to be pressed along the route by Hec Dyer of Stanford, the 220-yard champion.
 The chances of either Wykoff or Dyer setting a new furlong mark are not so good, for the record of 209, set by Charley Borah a few years ago, seems a trifle beyond their reach just now.
 Ken Churchill of California boost ed the javelin record to PIP feet, 5 inches year ago. He has been doing so much better this spring that it will not be surprising to see him add dozen or more feet to this figure in his final bow to l. O.. A. A. A. A. competition

 Mcderristic Motif
 The interiors were done in a med ernistic motif and contain nun bsr Of novel features among which is a Fireplace which burns quick silver. The effect is produced by vertical bars of radiating hghs and heat made by long glass tubes in which glowing mercury vapor is generated by an electric current. The picture introduces a stage star to the screen in the person of Helen Johnson, who has the part of the society girl.
