Gene Sarazen is a master Of
the short pitches and delicate chip

The sketch above gives a very fine
idea of the action of Genes hands
in playing a short chip. Note the
extent of whist cock" at the top

only a little way back. In this posi-

he did on the turf, as is shown by
the fact that IL of his colts already

would have been a favorite to win the
American Derby. but broke down on

by Gusto, a grandson of Man O. War

later won the rich Arlington Cup race.
That the courage Of the thorough

demonstrated when Flag Pole, son of

University Unable

AitlH -
payless payday is only the harbinger
of other days to come, unless the
trustees suddenly feel a spine in
their anatomy and check their col
league. Right in the face of gov
eminent fighting desperately to save
the country from financial ruin.
Howard spends money faster than it
gets it.
Evidently the elastic in the uni
versity funds snapped on the last
payday. What else was to be ex-
pected? What the writer has been
predicting actually happened. Wealth
as termination, if fingers play too
persistently with it. Unless trustees
put a check on the spending activi-
ties of their university they are 60
ing to have increasing embarass-
ments of this nature.
The worst feature of the payless
payday lies in the reflection that the
administration has aliented the bank
ers on the board who might rush to
the rescue. 1t has seen fit to discard
these true friends of Howard Uni
versity. After treating them as out
casts it lacks the nerve to return
to them to be helped during this
crisis.

Bring En- Back Alive
Vivid jungle Picture
At Orpheu1n Theatre

Acclaimed by all critics as the
greatest of its kind ever filmed,
Frank Bucks gripping saga of the
iungles, Bring En- Back Alive.
comes to the R-K-O 0rpheum Thea
ter for one week starting Friday.
Bring En- Back Alive" is not
simply another animal picture; it
is an authentic and realistic narra-
tive of the adventures of a man
whose profession is the capturing
alive of dangerous, man-killing den
liens of the jungles.
During the course of the picture
Buck takes his audiences into the
very heart of the grim Malayan
Jungle country. He brings to them
vivid and colorful film-record Of
the great risks run by those humans
who are fearless enough to live in
! such inconceivably precarious sur
roundings. making the film simply
packed with thrills. He shows them
a 30-foot python at death grips with
a royal Bengal tiger, a battle to the
death between a black panther and
a man-eating crocodile, stampede
of infatuated elephants. He brings
sights which have been hidden from
the civilized world for thousands o.
years.
On the stage and headlining the
new bill of R-K-O vaudeville is Peter
Higgins, famed both on the coneer
stage and by way of the radio fol
his melodious singing voice. Higgin
brings to his audiences a ropertoir
of popular and semicassical ballad
that make him one of the season
outstanding sensations.
His co-vaudevillians on the snapp!
bill are White & Manning, eccentri
dancers Sibylla Bowman, imperson
ator of movie stars; Milton Dougla,
comedy specialist, and two spectac
ular acrobatic stars, Large 4 Morg
ner.

Baptist Young
People Meet In
Annual Convention

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The
National Sunday school and Baptist
Young Peoples Union congress held
last week its 9th session in the
Public Memorial Auditorium here.
The congress went on record as
opposing the repeal of the 18th
amendment and companionate mar
riage and took a strong stand on
religion as opposed to science. All
sessions were presided over by DIR.

cation, the parent body of the Sun

While no vote was taken upon the
matter when religion and science
were discussed at the third forum
conducted Friday night by Rev. f.
G. Thomas of Macon, Ga, the sen
timent of the meeting seemed to be
strongly in favor of religion, al
though they agreed that science was
not incompatible with religion as
Scientists simply were trying to find
out what God has made"
One of the most important pieces
of legislation during the convention
was adoption of the five-year plan
of study designed for building
strong church leaders.

Laurence Higgins, it is reported,
did all in his power to make love TO
the critics before the premier of
"Tom Tom" so that there would be
no adverse criticism.
However, one of the musical crit
les said that he could not fairly
criticize the opera because "the
Negroes would believe that he was
simply biased, but the fact was that
there was nothing definite to make
the music an opera, and as it was
acted and sung it became more of
musical pantomime."
The greatest praise is being given
Miss Graham and DR.. Lert. Miss
Graham's conception is most un.
usual-the beat of the tom ton
forms the keynote pattern for The
opera.
