AN EXPERIMENTAL game was

and De Paul, Chicago, demonstrated
many of the important suggestions,
such as eliminating the center jump.
allowing it with 12-foot circle drawn
around the centers as forbidden terri
tory for the guards and forwards until
the ball actually was tipped out; the
elimination or modification of the pivot
post play and changed foul line for
personal and technical fouls. Some Of
the coaches were impressed; others
didn't like the innovations
Probably the most important meet
ing on today's program was that of
the referees and officials, who hoped
to get uniform Interpretation of the
rules. Because of the increase of inter-
sectional games. general uniformity
of rules Interpretation is necessity.
DR.. James A. Naismith, who origi-
mated the game A years ago, was

Bottoms showing has been particu-

Mons. Griffith let his guard drop

cred up his chin. "It isn't that any
thing is wrong with our training or
with Biloxi. I still say that Biloxi
is the best training site in the coun-
try. Did you know this team has
had more batting practice than any
club I've ever had?"
To Judge by what hitting the
Nationals have done to date,
this left another opening, but
Griff still was talking.
This team is just like a machine
with new piston rings, or something.

 On the same program there is Give Brook in an up-to-date so- cial drama entitled Dressed to Thrill" and this popular male star does tho best work of his career in this picture, surely here is a pro- gram that deserves lot of consid- eration.

 Tomorrow brings brand new show and of course tomorrow night is the big night of the week with Registration Night the center of attraction and the mag net that will draw a capacity at tendance to the State theater.
 On the screen gala show headlined by the most talked about picture of the late summer season, Every Night At Eight, starring suave George Raft. It is a hilarious romantic musical comedy which has the distinction of util- izing the timeliness and current popularity of the amateur radio hour and bringing 1t to the screen as basic story for a picture.
 This filmusical serves a two- fold purpose as well, not only in presenting George Raft in an en- tirely new characterization as an egotistical leader of an amateur dance band, but in introducing to film fans Frances Langford, radio songstress of considerable fame, who makes highly favorable inn lression in her first screen role.
 Crisp, cracking humor that so uproariously identifies the talents of that glib, adept comedienne Patsy Kelly, wise-cracking antics of the blond and attractive Alice Faye, the immensely laugh-pro- voking capers of the Three Radio Rogues. also stars of the air waves, the inevitably rib-tickling verbosities of Walter Catlett, com bined with a romantic story and a half dozen or more catchy melo- dies, serve to make Every Night at Eight" a screen confection of high entertainment.
