SMOKER TO BE. HELD IN A.b.HALL ON NOVEMBER 19
Main Event Will Bring To- gether Miles Murphy
 and Gurvich

Plans virtually have been com pleted for Smoker to be held the evening of November 19 in A. B Hall under auspices of the Juneau Post of the American Legion. A fine card has been assured for che occasion, Claud Helgesen and Tom Shearer, who are in charge of the affair, announced today.
 iN
 Murphy vs. Gurvich
 The main event will be between Miles Murphy, 152 pounds, Juneau's pride, and Nina Gurvich, 15O pounds, of Prince Rupert, B. c.
 Gurvich was particularly anxious for the match. In his previous ap- pearance in this city he lost to Freddie Mack, who scored knock out. Gurvich is determined to prove that this defeat was more of an accident than anything else.
 Knocked Out Gordon
 Gurvich has to his credit a knockout over Gordon, who fought Murphy to draw here.

EARTHQUAKES MAKE
 FISH BITE FASTER,
 RECORDS INDICATE

Earthquakes may increase the catch of mackerel and other fish.
 This suggestion has been made by scientist of the earthquake research institute of Tokyo Im- perial University, who has found a parallelism between the incidence of earthquakes and particularly large catches of fish over a period of years. Among the possibilities suggested, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, are that the seismic shocks, or some kind of mechan- ical stimulus associated with them, may be directly felt by fish and induce them to approach the feed ing grounds.
 It also may be that the shocks affect the depth of the layers with the greatst density of low organ isms on which the fish feed. Third ly, earthquakes may change the chemical nature of coastal sea water and thus indirectly affect the fish.

AL0Nz0 STACC STILL VIBRANT
 FIGURE AT 10
Grand Old Man of Athletics Can Still Show
 Them How
By JOHN w. STAIR Press Staff Writer)

ktSlOcIdttu TTCSS otdli VihtSAJ
 CHICAGO, Oct. 28-A man be- yond his biblical allotment of three score and ten years doing the thinking, planning and demonstra- ting for some 40 young men in their teens and early 20's in one of sports most rugged body-contact games
 That's the spectacle that Amos Alonzo Stagg, the grand old man of the midway, presents in this the last season of his amazing 4O-year tenure as head football coach at the University of Chi cago.
 Each afternoon a select group of dozen or so old grads, many of them well into middle-age them selves strings along the practice field beside the huge new stone field house to absorb, indirectly some of the enthusiasm and verve with which the Old Man had imEued them during their play ing days. .s
 Daily they marvel at the spec tacle of the patriarch teaching boys who could have been his grand sons, old and new - gridiron tricks.
 Still Shows Them How
 True, in the last few seasons the "Old Man" has eschewed &C., tual physical contact with his pu- pils-there is a limit beyond which even the most amazingly well-pre- served bone and sinew cannot go-but he's out there in his work ing clothes at every practice dem- onstrating spinners and other bits oi technique.
 In the last few seasons he has come to depend to considerable degree upon assistant coaches-of which, during most of his regime, there had been a paucity on the nlidway-and Pat Page, in the last two seasons, was a first-mate to whom Skipper Stagg left much of the practice field administra- tion.
 Page, an all-around Chicago star in the last decade of this cen tury, who returned to his alma mater after serving as head coach at Butler and Indiana Universities, has devoted most of his time to the linemen while "A. A." has worked principally with the backs
 One of the Boys
 Stagg carries a spirit of friend ness, helpfulness and humility into these practice field contacts. There i, little suggestion in his coaching methods that the game of foot ball is a life and death matter. He encourages bit of kidding.
 Football should be fun," he believes and he tries to make it fun throughout the week, not just on Saturday afternoons.
 Working out a new quirk to his 1892 model "whirlwind shift" he is prone to admit, as man to man, to his young charges that I'm not sure just yet whether we'd better have this back fake here, or go there." or words to that effect. Nothing of the maritime or the in- fallible Napoleon in his attitude.
 Typical of his gentleness is his dismissal of the freshmen, ordi- narily recipients of nothing but harsh words. When the varsity has finished scrimmaging, against inc frosh, Stagg gives them a ..thatu be all, freshmen = thank you!"

-- HE casinos at Monte Carlo and
Havana have closed for the
Summer the stock market is dull
and the bookmakers at the race
tracks are working crossword
puzzles. Old-faShioned games of chance,
in which the sucker never gets an even
break, have been hit hard by the depreS-
sion. Since the meek have inherited
so hazardous that roulette and chemin-
defer seem tame by comparison.
But there is another kind of gambling
which continues to flourish despite hard
times. You find it at every seaside re-
sort, county fair and street carnival Its
diSguiSeS are various; they include not
only simple games of chance like the
paddle wheel and the fish pond, but also
dart-throwing, ring-tossing and other
more intricate tests of skill.
All are within the law, however, for
two reasons: (a) the prizes are not cash,
but objetS dart (b) the player invari-
ably gets something for his money. And
therein turks the real menace Of this
form of homeopathic hazard. If you
in the cigar stores operate on this be-
nevolent principle. The wicked spades,
hearts, diamonds and clubs have been
replaced by innocuous symbols of as
sorted fruit, and you may squander your
last nickel in vain effort to prove that
luck is just row of cherries. But al
though the machine never yields a sim
gle brass slug, you always get little
package of minis every time you pull
the crank
Last week when a street carnival
sprang up overnight, almost on our door
step, Phoebe suggested that take little
Eustace to it. Eustaee is her nephew,
age 7, and still in full possession of all
his faculties. why don't you take him?"
I offered generously.
"He likes you better" explained
Phoebe.

back and forth several times, then it
slowed down and stopped on section 3.
Eustace presented me with lavender
pillow, trimmed in pink.
Opposite the pillow booth was a cane
rack. How about ringing a cane?" I
suggested. I was beginning to need one.
They don't give you the cane you
ring said Eustace knowingly. They
just give you the prize that's fastened
to it. I'm gonna see if I can get that
pearl-handled revolver"
But on the second toss Eustace won a
gaudy bottle of perfumery-much to his
disgust. You try it, he said.
Putting down my burden, I paid a
quarter and accepted half dozen rings
My aim was careful, not because
wanted arl-handled revolver, but be-
cause I wished to avoid the more bulky
prizes which surrounded it. 1t was a re-
lief when the last ring bounced off the
board and left me empty-handed. mo

Hold on, buddy!" The proprietor of
the cane rack thrust another handful of
rings at me. You paid two bits, and you
can pitch till you win something.
Everybody gets prize
Reluctantly I resumed my tossing,
aiming at one of the more modest tar
gets. Since there was no escaping
prize, I hoped that it might be some
thing portable-a non-fillable fountain
pen or a nice dull jack-knife, for in
stance. But to my dismay, the first ring
ricocheted off the back of the rack and
settled neatly over a cane from which
dangled fat pink doll.
The gent wins the hot-cha baby!"
blared the proprietor, handing me the
doll Who's next here? Try yer luck,
folkS!"
In the meantime Eustace had been pa
tronizing another wheel of fortune,
where he had won a life-sized bulldog
with glass eyes, The man said you're
supposed to put it in the yard to scare
away tramps," he explained, "but if you
leave it out in the rain, it'll melt"
We'll" I conceded optimistically,

bulldog into the crook of my left elbow,
between the pink doll and the perfum-
cry; the can of molasses, which was be-
ginning to leak little, reposed on the
lavender pillow under my right arm;
sack of salt in each pocket provided ad-
ditional ballast.

more than our share already"
I'D like to get something more be-

How about a nice balloon?" I sug-
gested. One balloon, I felt, would be
about all I could take on. But I dis
covered too late that they were merely
targets for darts, and each punctured
balloon yielded a prize. A wooden
cuckoo clock and Statue of Liberty
piano lamp were added to our collec-
tion. Lady Luck was not simply smiling
on us; she was laughing Historically.

BATTLE WAGED IN ROCKING CAB
 OF LOCOMOTIv
Other Men $ Wives I. Feature for Pal Night
 at Coliseum Theatre

Desperate hand-to-hand fighting inside the rocking cab of a great locomotive constitutes one of the thrilling scenes in Warner Bros. new romance of the railroads, Other Mems Women" which opens tonight at the Coliseum theatre.
 This was a scene which tried the energies of Grant Withers and Regis Toomey, the fighters, and the ingenuity of the director and tech nieal crew to the last degree. All of them worked under unusual diff faculties but the spectacular and convincing scene was worth the effort.
 During the filming of the scenes the locomotive had to be under full steam and at good speed without 8 guiding hand and both the play CTS and the crew were literally at the mercy of the reunaway engine
 Trainmen Held In Reserve
 Naturally trainmen were held in reserve behind the cameras to take command if anything went wrong or the train developed too much speed or went too far along the chartered bit of abandoned trackage.
 But nothing did go wrong and Withers and Toomey fought all one day in the speeding locomotive as it was shunted back and forth, with the camera flat-car trailing the engine and recording the bat 5le.

 ''Daybreak" is sparkling Con tinental romance, and @ Continent al director, Jacques F'eyder of Paris was chosen to film it, in order that it's rare savor should be retained intact.
 Novarro, as Kasda, returns to the type of thing he did in his Student Prince days, as the gay young Vienese officer and adven- turer in love. The object of his desires, Laura. is interpreted by Helen Chandler, the well known stage actress who scored in Out ward Bound" and "Dracula."
