from Eddie Cantor, comedian, for

start coaching next year. That's
my big ambition. But don't

He scratched his head as he
eyed Cantor's message for the third

Both Dean Cromwell, University
of Southern California coach, and
Owens vigorously denied a report
published by the Sunday Referee

The canal WAS opened in 1869. Dif-

had made biz loan to the prUm"t-
erS and subscribed for nearly half
the stock. In 1879 his shares were
offered for sale and through the
foresight of Disraeli these were
purchased by the British govern
meut, which thereby became the
biggest shareholder. The company
