BYRD FLAGSHIP
 HEADS EASTWARD
Delayed 40 Hours Because of Fog and Ice But
 See New Sights

On Board S. S. Jacob Ruppert. En Route to Antarctic, Dec 27- (Via Mackay Radio)-UP)-Ad- miral Richard E. Byrd's flagship was heading due eastward just out side the Antarctic Circle to-day. after being held 40 hours by fog and ice.
 Geologists were busy studying rocks of varying green, blue and brown colors. taken from broken iceberg which drifted by the ship.
 The rocks unquestionably were from a continent, it was decided, and were interesting because no coast has been found in this vicin- ity. The rocks bore evidence of having been ground and broken by heavy rock masses passing over them and the berg itself was a fragment of fresh water glacier.
 Christmas was celebrated aboard ship in fitting style. The dinner menu comprised olives. pickles, cream of tomato soup, mashed po- tatoes, creamed onions, buttered squash. roast turkey, giblet gravy. lobster salad, apple pie, fruit cake, tarts. coffee, punch, beer, fresh milk, apples, oranges, candy, mixed nuts and cigaretS.

 HIt is childish and foolish to blame a coach for Recruiting. Where. a coach has been active in recruiting players it is because he has been employed by the college to do it." he said.
 McGugin said recruiting and sub- sidizing were definitely on the wane, probably due to the financial depression.

well worth watching.
There is really nothing more to
be said at this late date about Cav

ness lies twice in the theater-once
on the stage and once again on the

full for having one of these produc-

be Forthcoming this year-or pos
sibly any other.
Luxury Liner"
At the Columbia.
PULLING in with the usual jangle
of engine room bells and hoarse,
throaty growls Of tug boat whistles,
Luxury Liner" tied in at the Co.
lumbia Iheater yesterday afternoon.
Grand Hotel"-hke in theme, it
brought with it as many dramatic
and piquant croSs-sectional views of
life as there are decks to a liner.
Presenting life from the steerage to
the first class, with its pleasure
made, bar-clinging younger genera
tion, as 1t is seen by the ships sur
geon. it offers many tense and en-
joyable moments.
Luxury Liner" also brought the
return of Alice White in one of the
more f1ippant roles which Miss
White handles so we'll and in which
she decidedly takes many of the
honors of the picture.
In the hospital quarters the young
surgeon George BrenD-seeking to
bring about a reconciliation with his
faithless wife, who has run away
with financier. but thwarted in
every attempt because of his duties
to humanity-ultimately falls in love
with his nurse Zita Johann docking
more beautiful than ever in her
white uniform).
The murder and suicide of the
financier and the runaway wife on
the last day of the voyage bring
about the climatic ending and
happily unite George Brent and Miss
Johann. If you have not tired of
Grand Hotel themes, this picture
will intrigue and please you
