Said, the Geogretown mentor:
Football history at George
town proves that a Hoya team
given no chance at all to win
often comes through with a
great team effort and wins. It
is not at all impossible for
Georgetown to beat Penn. One
never can teu-maybe we might
score an upset"
THREE SETS
Penn has been experiencing al
most as much difficulty with its
backs as Georgetown has with its
backs. Burke. Dresher, Buxbaum
and Connell Will start for Penn
today. Coach Harman has started
three different backfield combina-
tions in Penn'S last three games,
and today's is different from any
Of the prior three.
Like Georgetown. Penn has no
outstanding, all-round performer.
Maybe if both opposing backfields
in today's game are on a par. and
the Hoya line is able to hold its
own with Penn's, Georgetown will
hold Penn to a low score-perhapS
win the game.

whose name was Fred MacMurray, clicked

Ruggles, the director, and Claudette Colbert,
the star, saw a test of him and agreed to
gamble on an unknown. The studio rejoices
that they did. He is now one of their biggest
bets. He makes two pictures to the other fel-
lows one and belongs to that distinctive
group in Hollywood which has no complaints.
One morning not long ago sat on wooden
sawhorse with him and we Strengthened out
the problems of the picture business. Also, l
learned great deal about the fellow himself.
1t began when made the assertion that l
came from a smaller town than anyone else in
Hollywood.
"Oh, you did, huh?" he snorted. well,

map"

DHE old and the new - nowhere is the
change more noticeable than in the mo-
ton picture business New styles. New
ideas. New faces. A million-dollar pro-
duction of today becomes the laugh of to-
morrow, simply because the ladies of the land
obey the dictates of fashion. A long skirt sud-
denly supplants short one and the audience,
adjusted to new style, howls at the cinema
tragedienne when tears are really in order.
The producer weeps in his beard and mentally
kicks himself for not sticking to his first idea
of making costume picture. Those things
run on indefinitely if they're good.

that it took well co-ordinated studio and
plenty of money to assist them along the path

only be used in private conversation.

AFTER all, how important are actors? We
dress the stage, grant you, but we're awfully
lucky, too. We get 80 per cent of the glory
when the credit should be divided among so
many"
The stuff has ring because it S true. These
people out in Hollywood are goodly lot, and

Joe will take him on You say he's from Connecticut? We may give that other Connecticut boy, Nate Mann, crack at Joe in March Detroit Chicago nothing happens to him in the time."
 Black, Lous Trainer Jack Blackburn, and John Rox- borough watched Schmeling take bit of licking in the first three rounds and then Scmeng shoot that great right hand from his chest which put Thomas down six times but couldn't knock him out Louis in the seventh row. but that right hand smashing must have brought back painful memories

 Mann will have to be at top form to catch up with the speedy Will Hams.

 The other semi-final probably won't last eight rounds. Slugging Johnny Lasinski, of Meriden, meets Cileo Kid, the Brideporter who has won five consecutive bouts by knock outs. Lasinski has what it takes to beat Cileo and he will throw his best punches in an effort to get back in the win column.

 tUnited Prrsa Statf Correspondent,

Hollywood, Nov. i4-tUP)-If all the dark glasses worn In Hollywood were placed end to end they would make quite Q spectacle, q trust thus pun won't discourage you from reading further because Intend to make the rest of this article noble and enllghtening).
 When you first come to Holly wood you get the impression that 1t Is 6 town entirely made up of CD persons who momentarily expect the sun to go Into It's complete eclipse, (O retired baseball players who have weak eyes from playing the sunAeld, or (8 persons whose eyes got the worst of it In Q fight.
 This Is because everybody wears dark glasses. Beautiful blondes and bewhiskered beggars wear them, So do clubmen and ChinGmen, tycoons and touts, debutantes and dress makers. Even the babies wear them, and give you quite a shock when they look from out the folds of their perambulators with their infant- sized horn rims.
 l figured at first that the famed California sun must be the cause of so many dark glasses. But this theory was exploded by the first rainy day, The citizens continued to wear them, even In a downpour when the sun was hidden by clouds as dark as Jesse James grammar school department record
 Being afraid of getting arrested for indecent exposure, bought a pair of glasses. It took me the bet ter part of a week to get accustomed to them In the first place. I have always been frightened by the dark and my lenses were so black they could only have been ground from two old aces of spades.
 I bought a fashlight and a walk ing stick and was able to get around fairly nicely by the third day. As soon as was able to navigate the streets I launched an investigation (by cracking a bottle of champagne over its bow) into why I and every one else was grouping around in dark glasses.
 I got nowhere until I was put in touch with shrewd old Tasmanian Rufus Hightower, president of the Illusion Optical company, a big fir with branches in nearly every tree in this country. Clarence, as Rufus Hightower insisted I call him after the sixth drink, solved for me the
