chairmanship causes all players to feel that they have a say in mat
 ters and, in many cases, valuable
 suggestions have come from players who otherwise would have remain cd silent.
 Another angle, too, interests Pat rick. By attending these meetings and watching members of the team conduct the forum. he gets a rare opportunity to observe the possi-
 bilities of the players as future managers. It is excellent schooling for the players It would not be surprising to see manager come out of the meetings.
 Patrick has been responsible for
 many innovations in the game of hockey. With his brother, Frank,
 he formed league on the Pacific Coast, changing the rules so as to give spectators faster and more open game A flock of other ideas, like numbering the players, put ting in the blue lines, and intro ducing the forward pass. to men tion a few, were his brajn-chil- dren. He is ever-ready to do any thing to help hockey, on or off the ice.

KAUFMANN SETS HOT PIN PACE; ELKS' BOWLING
Mrs. Coughlin Rolls High Game Susquehanna,
 Manhattan, Erie, Win

By only two pins did Bob Kauf- mann last night miss climbing into the 600 class of bowlers for the sea son. As it was, the POS and POI scores that went toward making up his 598, were plenty to give Sus- quehanna a majority of it's games against West Point.
 Though top in the totals, Kauf- mann was forced to bow before Mrs. Alice Coughlin of the Army in the single game rolling Mrs. Cough lin hung up PIP game.
 In the second match of the even- ing at the Elks, John Walmer, roll ing alone for Manhattan, dropped the first game; then came through to capture the other two engage ments against the U. of Alaska.
 In the closing match, with their pace-setter, Art Henning, rolling the second high game total of the night, 569, the Erie bowlers won all but the first of their three games against Dartmouth

 "One missed block in one game may ruin the season-if you are thinking in terms of undefeated rec ords. That is something that no amount of foresight. power, or na- tural ability can prevent"
 So the Gopners are predicting no undefeated season for themselves in 1887. Bernie Herman shudders at the thought.
 In fact, Biernan may be heard whispering to himself, all during the season, well lose three games, any way Then when there are only two games left he still mutters well, at least two"

 The Henley regatta is under the jurisdiction of the B.AR.A. In con- sequence, many of Britains best oarsmen are precluded from com peting because they perform man. ual work.

COPHERS KEEP ROLLING ALONG
 TO NEW HONOR
Galloping Outfit May Reach Their Peak During
 Coming Season
By RICHARD POWERS

[ MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. l3.--Mlnne- sota's Galloping Gophers, l035 ma tional champions" may hit their peak in l937l
 That may be a shook to some of | the grid experts who figured they had already reached several peaks in the 1883, '34, '35 and '36 cam paigns when they lost but one game --but it has a grand possibility of fulfillment.
 A cold appraisal Of prospects for next fall indicates that, barring in eligibility or major outbreak of injuries, the Golden Gophers may reach an all-time high in the na- tional grid picture.
 Minnesota won the mythical na- tional title in 1884 and 1885 and again this fall a poll of the coun- try's football experts, conducted by The Associated Press, ranked the Gophers as the nations No. 1 team.
 At the distance, the 1887 Minne- sota backfield has the potentialities of being ranked as the most power ful combination ever put together 1 in Gopher history-and Minnesota s history is splashed with power elev- Eens.
 Only Six HaIfbacks,
 The Gopher main backfield losses are Julius Alfonso and Bud Wilkin- son, right halfback and quarter, re- spectively.
 Andy Uram, brilliant triple threat l left halfback, will be back at his favorite position and (get this) six fullbacks will be fighting to fill the three other regular posts. They are Larry Buhler Marty Christen- sen, Ed Bonk, George Faust, Vic Spadaccini and Phil Belfiori.
 And that doesn't account for other veteran backs such as Rudy Gmitro and Bill Matheny, a couple of speedsters. Wilbur More, fast 195-pounder; Ray Bates, Harold Wrightson and flock of new-com- CTS.
 The Minnesota line will be anoth- CT powerhouse. The main losses from this years forward wall are All America Ed Widseth at tackle and Bud Svendsen at center
 Herman Is Cautious Ray King and Dwight Reed reg ular ends the past two years, will be back, as will Lou Miller, Bob Johnson, Warren Kilbourne and Marvin Levoir at the tackles, Charley Schultz, Bob Weld, Fran cis Twedell and Harold Bell at the guards and Dan Elmer and John Kulbinski at center.

SHAKESPEARE, as a master for all

Shakespeare" says Joe Penner. He
was adept at slapstick. Since he wrote
for the masses, he used the common
language Of the man in the street"
Ken Murray's favorite story OF
Shakespeare, comparing his tactics to
those employed in present-day drama
and comedy, is the remark the poet
made when discussing Mercutio, Ro-
meo's witty friend. Shakespeare, in
effect, is supposed to have said: Il
was obliged to kill him in the third
act. He was stealing the show from
Romeo

THE orchestral world of radio den-
nitely is being established as a
family affair. A survey Of the top
notch stars Of the airwaves indicates
that somewhere in the musical set
up of dance band is either a
brother, sister, or both.
Benny Goodman. the King Of

Summer sessions of the Oakie COL

close second in making his family
also his business associates. Although
Guy has three brothers: Carmen, who
sings. arranges, plays saxophone and
composes, Lebert, who plays trumpet,
and Victor one Of the sax trio. Good
man has only his brother Harry, bass
player, in his band. On the other
hand. Benny's brother Eugene acts
as orchestra librarian and mis- sister
Ethel as secretary and bookkeeper.
Mark Warnow is another orchestra
leader whose brother is his chief aide.
Harry Warnow, in addition to ar

by Oswald, Of the Ken Murray pro-
grams.
Like modern radio WRITER'S" he
comments. Shakespeare used fast
paced words. Hurry was first used
by him. Others of his favorites were
'bluster, fare freak bang 'hud-
die and hustle He was the first
to apply the word chicken to the fe-
male Of the species when he called
Lady Macbeth dear chuck chuck
being the contemporary word for
chicken"
These contemporary comedians,
however, would rather not tackle the
roles created by the poet. Yet, in
many cases, childhood memories OF
their experiences with his plays still
live within them. When Ken Muir
ray was a l4-year-old high school
boy in Kingston. N. Y, he played
Orlando in "As You Like It." The
girl who played Rosalind really was
his sweetheart. and his pleas of love
were 50 impassioned that he was teased

The Hen or the Egg?

THE question about song writing
shat seems to intrigue laymen is
Which comes first, the words or the
music?"
Johnny Green, the conductor CON-
poser, estimates that he must have
been asked that question at least q
hundred times. Here's what he says:
1T may seem strange to the aver
age person. but the melody usually Is
first and the words come afterward.
Cola borators like Gordon and Revel
will tell you that one will evolve the
tune and pass 1t on to the other for
suitable lyrics. And the order OF
procedure Is similar when the words
and music are both turned out by the
one composer.
"TitGng song" Green adds,

Der, is likely to occur at almost any
