Central
BY GARRETT WATERS

The scholastic football season
was quite unusual and interest
ing in 1885, thanks to the great
showing of the Central eleven,
which won the championship,
and the individual play of several
performers of brother teams in
the series.
BY coping the title, the Mt.
Pleasanters ended a reign the
Tech High eleven had held for
many seasons. One of the rea'
sons for Centra's success was
the presence of Billy Richardson.
He was the teams most consis-
tent ground gamer, its most vi.
cious plunger and in all the guild
ing hand in every victory.
Tech had two men who were
standoutS, however. This kept
the team from being completely
showed under" for laurels. One
was Moe Shulman, center. The
other was Francis Crimmins,
punter and ball carrier of power.
Both gained all-high places on
the Times team and richly de.
served these honors.
Beamer Star Punter
Roosevelt had an outstanding
end in Francis Beamer-a lad
who played not only an excellent
defensive game, but who con-
Quoted the entire attack of the
Rough Riders. Beamer did both
the punting and passing for the
team.
Central won the championship
by defeating every rival in the
series. Western was toppled first.
Roosevelt was put aside next,
Tech third and Eastern fourth.
Only in the Western game we're
the Mt. Pleasanters offered a
scare. In this one they were held
scoreleSS during the first quarter.
But Billy Richardson got going
after the intermission and West
ern was defeated, 10 to 0.
Eastern gave the Pearce-
coached team quite battle in the
game which Central finally won
the title. After giving up two
touchdowns in the first quarter,
the Parkers held their foes score
less the remainder of the way,
and put across a touchdown them
selves in the final quarter when
Quarterback Jack Shugrue ran 80
yards.
Triumph Comes Early
Winning the Tech game gave
the Mt. Pleasanters the most sat
isfaction. 1t came early when
touchdowns were showed across in
the first and second quarters.
The characteristic Central-Tech
crowd was on hand that day at
the Central Stadium and everyone
saw Coach Hardy Pearce take
leaf out of Coach Hap Hardell's
notebook by putting well-drilled
Central Eleven on the field.
Techs eleven was second divi-
sion" in contrast. The team was
young, experienced and unpol-
ished, however, and it offered rea-
sons why Stanley Wells. little
quarterback, and others were held
at bay.

OldKingCole
Takes Stage
For Children
Other Noted Figures
of Nursery Realm
at National.

FAMILIAR people of the nursery,
preserved in books for successive
generations of children, rarely appear
in person as they did yesterday in the
children's performance at the Ma.
Cional Theater. Even in the pages
of highly colored works they serve
to arouse the imaginations of the
vivid juvenile age. but when they walk
the stage and wear curious costumes
and talk the well-remembered rhymes,
they become source of inspiration
to children-and adults.
"Old King Cole" was the immediate
cause of the assembling of great
audience at the National yesterday,
but the Children's Theater of New
York, which made the production and
brought it here, had several surprises
in store for its Washington friends.
First of all, there was an oppor-
tunity to see Clare Tree Major, able
director and author of many of the
plays which have made the organiza-
ton a success. She was the Queen
of Hearts, appearing in a character
she had created IN writing this story
of "Old King Cole and His Fiddlers
Three" She received a hearty well
come from the young friends that
have been made by her organization
in Washington during the last four
years.
While King Cole himself was splen-
didly played by John O'Connor, and
was a magnetic figure in the days
events, it would appear from the num-
ber of other figures of an imaginative
world, that nursery rhymes are not
written about lone figures of the
younger literary world, but that, some
how or other, they are all acquainted
and have delightful times together
They help each other along and their
current remarks magnify each others
importance.
In addition to the Queen of Hearts,
it was interesting to see Humpty
Dumpty, Puss in Boots, Bo Peep and
Simple Simon. They looked very
much as they were expected to look.

he say, "I enjoyed your song very

"Crusades" Comes to
Palace a Bit Ahead
of Itself.

WELL, well, well. How times does
fly. 1t seems like only yester-
day that Mr.. Cecil B. DeMille's big
cinematic noise, entitled The Cru
sades," came to town and played the
National Theater at fancy prices. In
fact, it was only day before yesterday,
but out in Hollywood, ano in film
distributing offices-where they do
things fast-l936 Is here already.
For during its first appearance here
the sponsors of this super super epic
advised the citizens to run down and
pay through the nose to see it, be-
cause 1t positively would not be
shown in Washington again this
year." that phrase being a bit tricky
itself, as you can see.
The cash customers behaved &C
cordingly, and may now pass the long
rainy evenings arguing about whether
or not the were gypped.
At any rate, The Crusades" has
taken up residence at the Palace
Theater this week, and we suspect
that the people who meet the tariff
at that house definitely will not feel
they have been taken into camp. 1t
all depends upon whether or not you
like a spectacle, a big fuss imagina-
lively conceived, and brilliantly photo
graphed.
MIR. De Mile is specialist in that
line, and when he is let loose with
10000 extras and one luscious lead
ing woman, he has no peer. Maybe
because no one wants to compete
with him. and maybe because no one
else could get away with 1t, even If
the yen prodded.
In this instance he selected an ideal
subject for his talents. No war in
history was more colorful, violent,
cruel or impaSsioned than the crusade
to recover Jerusalem.
1t is in the mass expression Of these
elements that the De Mile genius
shines. and quite Incidentally the gen.
tleman also filmed a rather novel little
love story while telling his tale. This
facet of the drama concerns Richard
the Lion Hearted and Berengaria "a
queen, not a teamship-althoughb both
we're of the French line heh, heh) and
eventually involves the Saracen chief
tain Saladin, by far the most attract
i've individual in the picture. Henry
Wilcoxon, Loretta Young and Ian
Keith care for the major roles ade-
uuately land the last mentioned does
much better than that). but the real
heroes of the day are brawny gents
who pour boiling oil on their enemies,
and the cavalry troops that charge
head-on into each other with a roar
and a crash that can be heard dis
tinctly all up and down F street. It's
q great afternoon in the theater, If
you care for that sort of thing.
The Palace also boasts the habitual
news reel and a short subject or two.

1.-TWO FISTED" PICTURE
HAS UNHAPPY MOMENTS
Roscoe Karns and Lee Tracy Are
Chief Figures in New Film

r OSCOE KARNS, aided and abetted

manager, punches and jabs his way

bore of Falstaffan proportions, an
Oxonian, a decorative heroine, and
handsome Kent Taylor, who first ap-

hours of masculinity on his chin.
The film has no story-it is a sue
cession of incidents and stock situa-
tions, about which the actors appear
to care little, and for which we def
nitely care less. If you are interested,
Karns finally wins fight, abolishes
his double negatives and wins the
maid. Gail Patrick gets a divorce and
the Oxford Union chap. Taylor, on
the verge Of dipsomania, is persuaded
to substitute the fistic art for cock
tails, and Tracy is embraced by the
squealy blonde. The people who are

If ever we gaze upon another short
about "zekes" and 'pappies" we shall
scream. It's time there was an ordi-
nance forbidding William Faulkner

which, with little provocation, we wax
vehement. And while the man from
Mississippi could not possibly get
within swearing distance of the Hays
office, the mournful mountaineers
(who can't feel as bad about their
yodeling as We do) continue their
banjo plucking at local theaters, in
cluding the Columbia, presumably for
