Selected Poem
THE VISIT

By Mary S. Hawling in the New York Times) There was warm and friendly flame Within tho fireplace. The windows looked upon tho night, And she upon his face. They sat and talked Of many things Until their time was spent Until BhO Baw his eyes become Dark pools Of diScontent The wings he wore upon his feet Were eager to depart For she had fed his hungry mouth But not his hungry heart The windows look upon the night, And low the eFnberB burn. Tine room ig quiet. She has ceased To watch for his return.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Feb. ii--A couple of real estate operators named echa. p!ro and Hlumenthal sat around their office . couple of years ago, wondering what to do with c biz, red, white and blue elephant In their control--the extravagant Earl Carroll theater that the revue pro. dueer abandoned.
 They had tried talking pictures, vaudeville and . musical show and all three ventures Aopped. So they were about to shutter tho place and give it up when they puffed heavily at their cigars and conceived the notion of c French Casino. If the Casino do Farce could get along, Q couple of blocks to the north, with an American girlie show, why couldn't they do 1t with hot.frosn. Paris stu6s Theater.c .cabarets had come into vogue and, ct least, they could keep tho big playhouse busy and free from moths.
 And 60 tho French Casino came to pass, with c "Folies Dergere" ilas ported from Montmarte. gchapiro e Blumenthal, dealers in lots, were in the show business. Well, con. sider the present scene: The Gas. ino dc Paree and every other rival theater cabaret have passed into limbo while the French Casino is now the most crowded amusement palace in New York. Entertainment seekers, have discovered that they can't miss, because for tho price of their dinner, they arc treated to the most extravagant and most un- clothed musical show Broadway of- sera.
 Paris Bound.
 With the Broadway bonanza safely launched. echapiro &s Blum- enthal have turned their eyes upon other fields to conquer. In Miami, they have built c replica of Broad- ways French Casino that caused your correspondent to blink twice whom he stepped in and they have moved the old show down there, Now, they are about to invade l AfUkh80R 0A0 VpWB EEUkAon G28AAk0 in the heart Of Piccadiliy Oircuf under . special grant by the gcv- egnment.
 But here's the joker: Having ex. ported all the talent Paris has, tho Mesars. @chapiro ds Diuynenthal have bought lip tho Ainbassadeul TheAter in Paris end will soon open an American Casino there with c show to be brought over from New York. Vienna, Sydney (Australia) and even Ghanghai and Tokyo waii for them next. And no one he'd dared to estimate the vast fortune they have extracted from the chea. tegsvestaurant business. Besides they stiIl conduct Q thriving req estate office.

GAMER MATCHED. WITH MASSERA
Pittsburgh SIugger Has impressive Record; Bout
 in Elm City Next Week

New Haven, Feb. 3.--Al Oainer, New Haven's Black Panther, will meet Charley Massera, Pittsburg light-heavyweight, in Q l0-round star bout at the Arena on Thurs day night, February l3, on a pro boxing bill to be presented by Matchmaker Tom McArdle and Mike Jacobs.
 Nathan Mann, Hamden heavy weight, was slated to meet Al Delaney of Buffalo, N. r., but the bout was forced off the boards after Mann became i'll with an at- tack of the grip last week.
 Massera will be making his first appearance in this city but his triumphg are well known to Con- necticut fans. Steve Dudas, Eddie Simms, Larry Johnson, Unknown Winston, Hans Birkie and Abe Feld- man have fallen victims of the Italian Americans blistering at- tack and 1t is believed by many here that Gamer, who has never been knocked out, will be stopped by the Smokey City star, because of the fact that the negro has been idle since early last fall when he defeated Babe Hunt.
 The remainder of the card, fea- turing an eight, two sizes and a four will be lined up within several days.

DOBIE DISSATISFIED
 FOR SEVERAL YEARS

Ithaca, N. r., Feb. 4-CUP)-- Looking forward to his job of head football coach at Boston college with an optimistic attitude strongc to his usual gloom, Gil Dobie, who Saturday. resigned at Cornell, said today he expected to be much happier individual in his new sur TOundings.
 Dobic said that he would have re- signed at Cornell several years ago had circumstances permitted it, and that he was far from satisfied dur the last years of his regime here.
 Poor Material
 "Nothing definite has ever been charged against me except too much gloom" Dobie said, "but would you call hard work gloom? The football material at Cornell has scarcely been up to college caiibre the past few years. The disastrous seasons I had at Cornell were but q kickback to their old athletic pol- icy. I've resigned now--no coach can have successful football team unless he maintains a certain 8uotLlL Oi iHucpeHucilce III Hb LhC- ties"
 Dobie pointed out that in 1884 he picked SO men for the squad in spring training and in the fall 23 were available
 t"6urely championship team can't be developed out of such a equad," Dobie said. "I know noth- ing of the material at Boston col- lege but know I will be satisfied"
 Dobie expects Co confer soon with Boston college authorities regarding the football coaching staff, spring training an dOthcr plans. Ills fam fly will remain here until the close of the school year to permit his two daughtcrg and son. who are attend ing local schools. to complete their terms work.

|L DODIE, NEW BOSTON COLLEGE FOOTDALL COACH
iie Freshman Squad of Last Season May Help
 Cornell Mentor
BY FRANK MURPHY

Limited Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Boston, Feb. 4--Gilmous (0loomy Gisii) Dobie, holder of an almost un- Nsirpagsed record of winning foot bail despite his last lean years at Cornell, makes fresh start next fall as head coach at Boston college.
 Two days after resigning his Cor nnll post in the face of alumni and iindergraduate discontent, the slim n0nnbre Scot was signed to take over the gridiron destines of tho Little Jesuit college which the late Major Frank Gays ugh, an "old Ruardv coach not unlike Dobie in hig methods, put on the football map in the years following the World war.
 May Keep Two
 The b7-year-old Dobie replaces 1A-year- -old Harry Downes, made temporary head coach of the E. O.. Eagles at mid-seasOn last fall when John R. tDinny) McNamara was forced out by a breakdown. Dobie, Wiio reached Q verbal understand ing with Boston college authorities by telephone, comes here within 6 fortnight to complete the details. He Indicated that Downes could re- etifne his old Job as line coach and that the veteran Bill Ormsby, for- mer Brown "iron man" could re- main as end coach of he wished.
 pobie, whose Cornell teams won 2t straight between 1920 and 1923. comes to a college which burst into the football picture at about the same time by upsctting strong Yale elevens two years in q row.
 The so-called gloomy philosopher who uttered the great Kaw and Pfann and, more recently, a Viviano and Terrara, comes to school which remembers the exploits of It's Fitzpatrick, sUrban, Treat, and Rod- erick and, as recently as l92s,A.B.C. team which downed Navy, Fordham, Holy Cross and other strong elcvena as 1t marched to the eastern cham pionship.
 Not So Bad
 Dobie inherits the best part of q varsity eleven which was strong enough to upset the powerful Michi- Ran State eleven last fall, along with one of the finest freshmen DQaads in B. c. history. He'll need every bit of the indicated strength and more as he pits his off-tackle plays, his deceptive fiip-back, shovel paGs and other Dobie specialtics against Pop Warmers Temple elev- en and no less than three expo ments of the Notre Dame offenSe--- Hunk Andersons North Carolina State eleven, Charlie Bachmana fAfichigan Staters, and Dr. Eddie Anderson's Holy Cross team, tra- dltiOnal Boston college foe.
 For 3i years head coach, ct North Dakota Aggies, University of Washington. Navy and Cornell, Dobie, who in his playing days was a Quartcrbuck at Minnesota, boasts a remarkable coaching record. In nine yeegB at Washington his teams won D8 games and tied three without losing Q game. In three years at Navy his teams lost but one game Tn 10 years at Cornell he had 85 victories against 50 defeats.
